together we will be unbroken

We walked out into the humid night air of L.A. I love the city at night. It was alive in a different, more beautiful way. You see during the day it's full of tourists and business men, but at night it's full of interesting rowdy people that were off doing god knows what.
"What are you thinking about?" Ashley inquires looking me strait in the eyes. Wow he is gorgeous.
"Hugh-what? Oh. I was just thinking about how much I love L.A ." I respond.
"Yeah I like it a lot too." he smiles. "It's always really busy but everyone is on their own time. Do you know what I mean?"
"Yeah I was thinking the same thing actually. It's so much different than the town I lived in."
"You're from Ireland right?"
"Yeah."
"That's so cool. What is it like there?"
"Rainy." I say, "It's quiet and everyone in your town knows each other, and we look out for everyone like a family would."
"That's what my hometown was like too." His chocolate colored eyes are looking at me the whole time we talk. I on the other hand have watch the ground so I don't fall, and because he is so much taller than me I would end up with a kink in my neck if I always looked at him. The struggle of being short is real man.
"I miss it some times, but then I remember why I left and how this is a much better place for me." I sigh.
"Why did you leave?"
"It's kinda a long story." I reply
"Well we have all night."
"Alright." I tell him about how my friends and I formed a band in high school, and how we became pretty big over in the U.K. and started to break through to the U.S. I told him about the touring and the break up that followed.
I'm so sorry" he said. "I feel like that isn't the only reason you moved out here though."
Damn it how does he know that? Can he read minds or something? "Well your feelings are correct." I say. "Ummm.. I don't really talk about this much..."
"It's fine if you don't want to tell me. mean we just met so I completely understand."
"Well I don't see why I can't tell you...." I take a deep breath," aaaahh...." another deep breath,"I'm just going to say it. My boyfriend at the time was abusive as well as my grandmother." there it's out. No taking it back.
He stops dead in his track,"Oh Laci."
"Yeah, when I was 17 I decided I had enough of their crap so I left and I haven't been back since."
"Did your parents know." ugh the parents question. I was really hoping he wouldn't bring them up. He's not getting two sob stories in one night.
"That would be a no." I reply. "I told them that I got in a fight at school every time I showed up with bruises." I hear him inhale sharply. Before I can register what is happening he has me in a tight hug.
"I'm so sorry." He whispers.
"It's okay." I say into his chest.
He lets go with one arm pushing my shoulders back far enough so he can look at me, but he still kept one hand at the small of my back. "No it's not okay. A boyfriends should love and care for you not cause you pain. Did your parents know about your grandmother either?"
"No, I would never tell on her."
"Why not?" He asks. I don't understand why he is so concerned.
"Because it only would have made things worse." I say.
He strokes my cheek and looks into my eyes."Laci I swear I will never let anyone harm you ever again." If only he could stop me from harming me.
"Thanks." I say looking down. God I hate this feeling. This feeling of disappointment. I'm so worthless.
"Laci?" Ashley says shaking me from my inner demons.
"Yes."
"Are you okay?" That look he is giving me makes that feeling intensify.
"Of course."I say faking a smile,"Now come on lets finish this walk." He smiles and takes my hand. It feels so nice, so perfect. "You don't deserve this you worthless piece of shit."Aiden's voice echos through my mind ruining the peaceful feeling of Ashley's hand in mine.
