"Come on baby, wake up. Its almost one." Ashley's voice draws me from my head but I just groan, shifting slightly in his arms. He pulls me into him and kisses my forehead lightly.
"Ashy... please..." I moan rolling over, he lifts me up and I shreik softly in protest. Then suddenly he stops.
"Montana why? Why?" Ashley asks, lifting up my shirt slightly. So he can see fully the gashes that run across my stomach.
"I- I didn't make these Ash... I didn't... I-I p-promise..." I whisper as his cool fingers trace over the freshly healed wounds. I whimper lightly and flinch, remember the pain they caused. All the blood, all the memories.
"Montana, what happened to you?" He whispers and I sigh before looking down at my hands.
"Rape happened Ash. So many times... so much abuse... I-" I stop taking a deap breath before Ashley wraps his arms around me.
"I'm so sorry, but I'll be heres for you. I promise Montana." He says and I nod shaking slightly.

*Montana's and Andy's Birthday*
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" CC screams rushing into my bedroom, I screech in terror and then realize its just him. Still not used to the whole 'people won't hurt you' idea.
"Oh sorry Chupster." I giggle as he draws me out into the living room.
"HEY!!" Andy screams and I give my birthday bud a hug. Ashley isn't here but everyone else is, except Arizona she's in Texa for the hoilidays. I sigh slightly as everyone starts handing out their gifts. I get a softball bat from Jake, a glove from Jinxx, a hairbow from Sammi, a glove from CC, Andy gives me an album of Ashley, and I open Arizona's gift she left for me. A brand new pair of spiked cleats. I squeal slightly before rushing out to the back yard, my bat in hand.
"CC toss a ball!!" I say swinging the new bat around. CC looks at me unsurely but pitches it anyways and I crush it over the house, and into the forest.
"Holy fucking goose..." Jake mumbles and I giggle.
"College scouts looked at me when I was 14 for this sport. Highschool coachs tried to get me to play up. I was the top... till I hit bottom. My coach raped me, over and over... eventually when I fought back he ruined my softball career by dislocating my shoulder." I say bowing my head, before taking off for the forest... oh what a surprised wait's for me there....
