Ashley swung her legs around slowly and tried to lift her body up right.

“Fuck that hurts” She screamed out “Juts wrap your arms are my waist and pull me up easy.”

“Ok” I breath out I was still scared to touch her again in fear of hurting her, but she noticed my hesitation and placed my arms around her. With a slight nod from her we both start to lift her up. Me holding her waist and her pushing off of the couch with her left arm.

“Easy not so fast “I said as she cried out in pain.

“Thanks” She groaned out when she was finally sitting up as best as she could. Hunched over with her elbows on her knees holding her ribs with her right arm.

“Your not to bad Blondie, I could be your heater and you could be my own personal nurse, I think it is a fair trade” She jokes out trying to laugh which just makes her end up coughing, causing her ribs to ache. I rub her back tenderly hoping not to hit another sensitive spot. 

“It’s really not as bad as it looks no need to go calling the rents” she states breathing heavy still slumped over with her head hanging.

“WHAT? How can you barely even sit here and say that.” I was fuming now I was over her playing these little games like whatever was happening was nothing. I thought she was almost dead with how shallow her breathing was when I carried her in here. I started to pace back and forth in front of her.

“Just relax a second ok I’ve had worse” Ashley looked down to the floor “Are those clothes for me?”

“Worse how the hell could you have survived worse than this… wait huh?” I followed Ashley’s  gaze to the floor where I had discarded the clothes earlier.

“Oh yes they’re for you I thought you might want to get out of those clothes.”  I stopped my pacing

“Thank you” she breathed out as she started to lift her hoodie up and I noticed she didn’t appear to have a shirt on underneath, due to the tan skin of her abdomen that started to peek out. I blushed and quickly turned around to allow her some sort of privacy.
