"You don't ever touch Serena like that. She doesn't belong to you, she never will. Got it?" "N-no she's min-"
He cut off by a punch to the jaw, making him stumble to the side and fall over.
"Don't touch her ever again."

He bends down to me, holding my cheek gently.
"Oh Serena.."
I grin weakly at him and he smiles back.
"Thankyo- Ash!"

I jump in front of Ash, using the last of my strength as the burning metal touches me, searing my skin.

---------------------------------

"Serena."

"Serena answer me."

"Serena."

I groggily open my eyes, a groan leaving me as the light makes my head burn.

I blink a few times before my vision focuses on the person in front of me.

Hazel eyes.
Jet black hair.
Tanned skin.
Amazing chiselled jaw.
It has to be him.

"A-Ash.."
I lift my arm up and rest it on his soft hair, ruffling it slightly.
"Oh god Serena you worried me so much."
I feel myself being lifted off the floor and into Ash's arms.
Immediately I look around to see where I am.
"Ash. Where's Calem?" "I dealt with him, he shouldn't be awake for a while."
I grip onto Ash's top as a searing pain suddenly runs through my arm, making a gasp leave my lips.

I quickly look down to see the large red gash burnt into my skin, the wound throbbing and oozing out with god knows what.

"W-what happened..?"
I whimper, trying to do whatever I can to take the pain away.
"You protected me from Calem. You stopped me being hit by a some sort of metal pole. I think he must have put it in a fire before because it burnt straight through your skin."
He lifts me gently off his lap and puts me on the floor.
"Stay right there, I'll make it better ok?"
I nod as Ash walks into another room.

I look around and spot Calem by the door.
Dry blood was around his nose and eye and there was quite a big lump on his forehead.

I guess Ash definitely meant it when he said that he dealt with him.

I glance back down at the burn.

That's definitely going to scar.
How am I meant to tell my mum about this.
'Oh I stuck my hand in a fire.'

She wouldn't believe me at all.

"Serena I'm back."
I look up at Ash as he kneels down in front of me, a first aid kit in his hand.
"I'll make it feel all better, I promise."
He gently lifts my arm grabbing some cream out of the box and putting some on his finger.
"This is gonna sting so close your eyes ok."
I nod and close my eyes quickly as the already horrible pain suddenly becomes worse, making me jolt my arm away.
"Serena I need to do this it'll be over quickly I promise."
I shake my head and look up at him.
"N-no."
I whimper out, bringing my arm closer to me.
"Please Serena." "No."
I feel his hand take hold of my chin gently as he forces me to look into his eyes.
"Relax Serena, it'll be ok, just focus on me."

I stare into his beautiful eyes and focus on every little thing about them.
The way the brown darkens a little around his pupil, and the way the light hits his eyes, showing off the different shades of brown inside them.
It was a wonderful sight.

I hadn't even realised he was closer till I felt his lips touch mine as the hand on my chin pulled me into the kiss.

Suddenly Ash turned into Calem, my eyes widening in horror as I pull away quickly.

I see Ash again as he looks at me worriedly.
"What's wrong Serena? D-did you not like it?" "N-no. It's nothing Ash, sorry." "Ok. I bandaged up your burn. It didn't hurt, did it?" "No, it didn't. Thankyou Ash."

He lifts me up and I grab onto his shoulders, causing the pain to come back into my arm again.
"A-Ash it still hurts." "It will do Serena, you just need to relax ok, don't use your arm a lot."
He pulls me into a bridal style carry as he kicks Calem out of the way, opening the door.
"Lets go home. Yeah?" "Ok."
I rest my head gently against him as I look up into the night sky.
"Ash." "Yes Sere?" "We never got to have our date." "Oh well, we'll have it another day, I promise." "Ok."

----------------------------------

Ash gently places me on my bed and sits down next to me.
"Serena."
I look into his eyes as they burn into mine.

He looks so serious.

"Yes Ash?" "What did Calem do to you?"
I bite my lip as it all comes flooding back to me.
As I'm about to reply I feel Ash press my neck gently, a little pain going through my neck.
"He did this to you.. didn't he.."
I could hear Ash almost growling in anger as he ran his finger along my neck.

I move away quickly as a whimper escapes my lips.
"P-please stop touching them.."
I look up to see Ash's eyes soften as he hugs me gently.
"I'm sorry Sere. I'm so sorry." "I-it's ok Ash."
I shuffle into his lap as I look up at the cut under his eye.
I trace it lightly with my finger before I gently touch it with my lips, pulling back and looking into Ash's eyes afterwards.
"Thankyou Sere."
He smiles, pecking my cheek.

I rest my head in the crook of his neck as I feel his breath gently hitting my cheek.
"Can I sleep with you tonight Ash?"
I whisper.
"Are you sure Sere?" "I'm sure. I want to." "Alright then."

He picks me up and places me into his bed, grabbing my pyjama shorts and his shirt.
"You wanna wear this?"
I nod as he gives it to me, walking towards the bathroom.
"Meet me in bed cutie."
He grins, winking at me.

God I love that grin.
And I love him even more.

I get changed and snuggle into the sheets, my eyes closing almost immediately.

His bed is just so warm and comfy.

A yawn leaves my lips as I feel my body become engulfed in warmth as a breath hits my skin.
"You look really cute in my clothes you know."
I feel heat hit my cheeks.
"I-if you say so."
He chuckles as he squeezes me gently, a small gasp escaping my lips.

Ash sits up sharply, turning me around to him.
"What's wrong Serena?"
I place my hand on his chin and rub it gently.
"It's ok Ash, I'm just a little sore there."
I lift Ash's shirt to show the bruise on my stomach.
"It's ok, I'm alright." "But that bruise is huge Serena! "It's ok Ash, I'm ok. There's no need to worry." "Alright."
I gently smile at him as I peck his cheek.
"Lets go to sleep. Yeah?"
I say, earning a nod from Ash as we get back into our comfy position.
"Goodnight Serena." "Night Ash."
I close my eyes as my body falls into a peaceful slumber.
