Sweet Pea and Asher felt as if they were lovers in a past life, feeling as if they knew each other the moment he looked into her golden amber eyes.
Asher had a lot of complications, bigger than the Southside vs Northsiders fight.
All she knew was h...

My breathing had stopped for at least twenty seconds.
I could see the Serpents- anyone in the room really all glance to each other in silent question.
"I'm telling Keller." I said to Malachi in a threat but he only smiled in response.
"Let's go, this parties boring. Maybe we'll come back another time." He shot me a wink and a shudder passed through me.
I couldn't say anything. Instead I spun quickly to exit the kitchen, I pushed myself up the stairs and unlocked my bedroom.
As I went to close it behind me a hand forced it back, "Stop! It's me."
I lessened my force on the door as he slid into my room. I couldn't look at him but I made sure to slam and lock the door.
I didn't feel like I was breathing, more like gasping.
Sweet Pea watched me pace besides my bed in silence. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I was scared of people knowing the truth or if I was terrified he was in my house.
Sweet Pea eased towards me before he grabbed ahold of my arms, he forced me still.
I looked up at him, tears slowly started to fall down my cheeks.
"Are you okay?" His voice was like silk, it wrapped me up lightly. I could only shake my head no before I turned away from him.
Immediately I was sobbing, I couldn't stop it. I felt like I was going to puke. My stomach was twisting and turning, my thoughts moving so rapidly I couldn't even attempt to try to pick one out.
Sweet Pea placed his arm around my hip and pulled me tightly against his body. My hands stayed at my sides as they shook, I kept trying to clench my fingers. I felt like my body was separating itself from my own mind- like I was fading away into nothing.
"You're safe. I'm solid, you're okay." He repeated as he held me tightly in place.
I didn't feel okay, far from it.
"He's gonna come back." I cried against his shoulder at the thought. Malachi had said it himself, they were going to come back. They were going to hurt me again, maybe do worse than last time. What could be worse?
"No, no he won't. Not after I go see him." His anger rumbled in his chest as he spoke.
"No. You aren't going to see him, he's crazy." I went to push myself away from him to look at him but he only held me tighter in place. His hand ran over the length of my red hair as he tried to sooth me.
"I'm crazy too, Asher." In my head I was screaming at him to shut up, Sweet Pea wasn't crazy. Even if he was it would be nothing in comparison to Malachi.
Sweet Pea wasn't a rapist.
After I had finally stopped shaking from anxiety Sweet Pea spoke again, "Do you want me to let you go?"
