Unbreakable

“What are you doing?” Ashley exclaims.

I snap my head up and see Ashley standing in the doorway. He has a terrified expression on his face. I drop the razor and start crying harder. “Ashley I-”

“Shh… shh…” Ashley drops to the forr next to me, and pulls me into his chest. “It’s going to be okay.” I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer to me. He strokes my hair, and kisses my head. “You’re going to be okay.”

“Way to go you piece of shit, now he knows. You can’t do anything right. You just a waste of space” Hearing my demon’s voice makes me cry harder. Why am I like this? What is wrong with me?

“I’m so sorry” I sob.

“Shh... “ Ashley rubs my back and kisses my head until I calm down. “Lace, let me see it.”

“A-Ashley, I d-didn’t.” I let go of his neck, and show him both of my wrists.

“Oh thank God,” He kisses my temple and squeezes my torso. “I’m so happy you didn’t.” He kisses my head again. “What made you want to in the first place?” I take a few deep breaths before telling him my story. I start with the beginning of the meeting. Then I tell him about all of the awful things that Malcolm told me. When I get to the part about me turning in myself, my eyes start to tear up again. I hate talking about that malicious voice in my head. It makes me sound insane. I'm not insane.

I finish at the part when Ashley comes in. I look up at his gorgeous face, and see it filled with anger. “I can't believe that bastard said that.”

I don't want him to stay angry so I pipe up, “I think he was just trying to intimidate me.”

“That doesn't matter.” Ashley has the same time of voice he used when we were fighting over Ronnie. “He should never talk to a human being like that. I'm even more upset that you actually felt that his words were true. Annalyse, you are more than a vagina. That's coming from me.” I can't help but giggle, which in turn makes him smile. “I don't want you to ever let someone make you feel like that ever again. You are extremely qualified for your position. I know you think I'm biased, but I think you are the most qualified person in this entire tour. And on top of that, you are an extremely loyal, kind, loving person. You don't deserve to feel like shit about yourself.”

“Thank you,” I smile and kiss my fiancé with all of the love I can muster.

Ashley smiles against my lips. It makes my heart jump when he hold my face in his hands to pull me closer. “What do you say,” he pulls back just far enough so we can look at each other, but not far enough for our lips to stop touching. “About ordering room service, and having a Disney marathon?”

My inner child comes out when I hear the words Disney and marathon. “Oh Ashley can we?!”

“Of course!” He pecks my lips again. (I almost say ew because I’m that far into child mode.) “Anything to make you happy.”

I smile and giggle. “I love you Ashley.”

“I love you too Rose,” He kisses me again, and I feel a million times better than I did when I came in here.

Notes

Yeah, sorry it's short. I think it fits though. I'll try to update tomorrow, but if I can't it will be Wednesday. Thanks for reading!
