The Gangleader and Me(ON HOLD)

•Chapter 20•

Ashley's POV:

I entered through the front door of my house and I was greeted by a cross armed Elijah as he looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Why didn't you go to school today? Your teachers say you're failing. And why is your hair like that and your clothes damp?"

He asks as his eyes scan all over me. I shrugged walking closer towards the stairs. "Ashley, please talk to me." He says from behind me. "Elijah, I'm just tired man.. Can I go to sleep please?" I say, looking at him over my shoulder.

He sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose before he says, "Fine, go ahead. Also, I put all the schoolwork you pissed on your desk in your room." "Thanks bro, I love you." I tell him, climbing up the steps already. "Love you too sis." I heard him say when I reached the top of the stairs. I walked down the hall and into my bedroom, shutting the door and locking it behind me. I sighed, setting the empty basket on the ground and started stripping my clothes off while I was heading to my bathroom.

I yawned, scratching my head as I walked into the bathroom. I removed my bracelets, watch, the earcuff, the earrings, and the necklace. I turned on the hot water and pressed down on the metal thing that clogs the hold of the bathtub so the water doesn't escape.

I walked over to the cabinet where my unopened shampoo, conditioner, and any other bath stuff were. I grabbed the vanilla scented bubble bath soap and poured it into the bath before setting it on the counter. I stretched out my body, then walked back into my room, digging in my jogger's pockets for my phone. When I grabbed it, I grabbed my wireless beats and walked back into the bathroom.

I set my phone on the floor with the headphones and stepped into the hot bath. I lowered my body into the water until they only thing that wasn't submerged in water were my arms, my collarbone, and up.

I leaned to the side and grabbed my phone as well as my beats and put the beats on, syncing the bluetooth on my phone as well. I went on Spotify and scrolled through my playlists until I clicked the one that said J-Rock.

I clicked shuffle and 'Ending Story??' by One Ok Rock started playing. I raised it to its maximum volume, making it so loud you can hear it without the headphones on.

The Japanese Rock band's music played loudly in my ears as I sunk deeper into the water with my eyes closed, sighing peacefully.

***********

I dried my damp hair with the towel as I exited the bathroom, stark naked, not giving a flying fuck. I went through my drawers, thinking whether to put on my underwear or not and just put clothes instead.

I shrugged it off and grabbed the basketball shorts that always slide off my hips and a white muscle tee that belongs to Brody. I slipped them on and tightened the basketball shorts by pulling on the drawstrings.

I grabbed my phone and the Beats before climbing into a bed, a yawn suddenly hitting me. My tired eyes felt heavy so I crawled towards my fan, turning it on, the cool air blasting in my face before I crawled back up and slipping under my covers.

I turned my phone on and went onto the Spotify app and pressing play from where I left off on my J-Rock playlist. 'Listen' by One Ok Rock finished it's last seconds and 'GoodBye' by High and Mighty Color started.

I left the music stay at its maximum volume and slipped on the Beats. I got comfortable, letting my head rest on my cool pillow, the cool air from the fan hitting me with comfort. I shut my eyes, letting sleep over come me.

*Dream*

I looked around the meadow, purple flowers covered the area for miles upon miles. I walked around, taking in the beautiful scenery. "Ashley." The disembodied voice said and I froze in my spot, slowly turning around to confirm the voice came from the one person that came to mind. "Abuela?" (Grandma?) I asked, tears welling up in my eyes.
