after i got off the phone with my mum i noticed that ashley was drifting in and out of conciesness "ash honey stay with me please i need you please" i turned round and released the whole contents of my stomach onto her bedroom floor ‘come on carlin keep it together’ i thought .

after a while i could hear the sound of sirens drawing nearer and nearer. within seconds paramedics were bursting through the door and i got pushed to one side as they put her onto a stretcher but i tried to get near but it wasn’t possible then a thought crossed my mind is this it is she going to leave me without knowing the truth?. after that i noticed that she was concious so i thought this is now or never so i shouted at the top of my lungs "ASH I LOVE YOU I ALWAYS HAVE DONE" i felt as though a weight had been lifted off my shoulders i just hope she heard.

"please step aside mam"the paramedic stated as i was pushed aside so they could take her away but what i heard next made the colour drain away from my face "WHAT DID YOU SAY!" i turned around to be met with a pair of anger filled eyes and then everything went black

ashley’s p.o.v

"Spence wait no if he sees you here while he’s drunk he’ll flip" i explain but before i can say anything else my continuous nightmare begins as aiden barges through the door and what a suprise he’s drunk. but this time it’s different i can feel it. he turns around a re-locks the door so i cannot escape. he must have sensed me watching his actions because the next thing i know something heavy comes into contact with my head knocking me into the glass coffee table causing it smash beneath me *smash* "ugghh" but before i can move i feel my hair being pulled as he drags me towards the stairs.but before we reach the stairs i manage to release myself from his grip and i do the only thing that comes to mind i punch him square in the mouth causing his lip to split, big mistake! i start to run up the stairs with aiden hot on my tail. *thud* is the only sound that can be heard as i come into contact with the wall it knock me back right into his arms "DON’T YOU EVER HIT ME AGAIN YOU STUPID BITCH!" he screams and all i do is stare right into his eyes eyes but all i can see is anger and hate. i start to feel dizzy from the last blow to the head,i feel so helpless so i decide that there is no point fighting back.aiden carries me up to the bedroom and throws me onto the bed and he frantically starts to rip my clothes and i all i can do is lie there and cry so many thoughts are crossing my mind but i guess i wasn’t paying enough attention because he is screaming something at me but i guess not paying attention angered him more because i feel something cold and sharp penetrate my side "AAARRRGHHHH FUCK" i scream "SHUTUP BITCH" he yells as his fist is repeatedly coming into contact with my face and body.

starting to feel weaker and weaker as each minuate goes by of him beating me ‘toughen up davies’ i think to myself so i start trying to defend myself as best as i can but it’s not enough as i eventually pass out.

drifting in and out of conciousness i can hear screaming and fists and feet coming into contact with something’oh god spence’ i immmediatly think but it stops after about five minuates or so, and all that can be heard is soft wimpers of someone so i make a sound any sound i can "ugggh" and then what i hear next makes me know that i’m safe it’s the voice of an angel my best friend spencer. and then warm hands come into to contact with my side.

i can tell she is on the verge of tears when she say"ash sweety are you okay"

and then thats all i had to hear when panic starts to arise "spence what happened why am i covered oh my god help me please" i plead the the next words that leave her mouth makes it official i’m going to die "sweety try not to move your hurt" she applies more pressure "ahhhhhh fuck it hurts". then i hear numbers being dialled i hope she ringing an ambulence i don’t hear much because i start to drift in and out of conciousness so i’m not sure what’s going on as the pain is so unbearable.

i can feel myself being moved and i can smell the strong scent of sick throughout the room, but as i gain conciousness once more something is shouted but i’m not quite sure what it was but i shall find out.
