Chapter 29

(Ash POV)

It took me forever to go to sleep last night and it didn’t help that she was running her hands over my stomach till she went to sleep but even then I still couldn’t go to sleep I was frustrated. I just realized it last night and it’s killing me now every time Gabriel walks past me and this morning didn’t help either when I woke with her on top of me I don’t know how she got on top of me but she was I could feel her chest rub against mines I was never going to not wear a bra around her again.

“Ash you look tired we don’t have to go if you don’t want to” Gabriel said from beside me I shook my head I had asked her if she wanted to go on another date with me today.

“We are almost there and I told you we would come back up here again Aly and the others will be at my house by 6 or 7 o-clock so we’ll have some time to our selves before they come” I said we were heading to the beach right now before it got to cold to go so this is the probably the last time we’ll come down here until it was warm enough again. I pulled up at the Beach on the other side so we didn’t have to walk far we both got out the car while I grabbed my picnic basket out of the back seat. I had everything I needed for today even though I couldn’t cook that much.

I walked up a different path this time I took hold of Gabriel’s hand as I did making sure she won’t trip or fall over anything we finally reached the boulder I let Gabriel go first before I went behind her I slipped the basket through the entrance before I myself went through. Gabriel wonder over to the other direction I shook my head and let her explore back here it wasn’t that big but it wasn’t small either there were two paths to get up here the path that she was going was completely block by rocks and tree’s. While she wondered around I set everything up. I pulled out the blanket and spread it on the ground. I took out the glass cups and placed them on either side before I went back in the basket and took out the containers of food and two plates along with the drink that I had put in ice I was going to do candles but that would be stupid because its still a little sunny out even though the sun was about to go down but I do have them in the basket just in case.

“Gabs come on” I said getting up walking over in the direction she went I saw her squatting down looking at the plants.

“Come on Gabs” She looked at me grinning before she stood up and grabbed my hand.

“I saw a cute little bunny” She said I shook my head

“I hope you didn’t touch it” I said she rolled her eyes

“Of course I didn’t touch it I’m not stupid” She said I laughed as we reached the cliff again she smiled down at the little picnic.

“Ash it’s cute and romantic” She said turning to me I grinned and pulled her over by it I sat down and she sat down next to me.

“So what’s on the menu” She asked grinning at me I laughed and opened the containers she started laughing at me.

“I tried Gabs” I said sheepishly she shook her head.

“It’s fine I like the shape of them” She said I served her, a ham and cheese sandwich that I cut into a dolphin and dog shape Sarah was teasing me all morning when I had made these for her.

I started chewing my sandwich as she smiled at me.

(Gabriel POV)

This was so romantic I like everything about it was nice quiet and secluded I never been on a dates that were romantic like this we usually just go to dinner and hang out. With Ash she makes everything intimate and close I loved that about her.

“Ash I just realized that you know everything about me and I barely know anything about you” I said looking at her

“Well what do you want to know” She asked

“Everything” I said she laughed at me

“Specific Gabs” She said rolling her eyes

“Well when your birthday” I asked

“May 3rd” She said I nodded making sure I kept that in my memory

“Where do you want to go after high school”

“Um UCLA or Berkeley” I nodded my head I also want to go to UCLA I think she knew that from one of my many rambles I have with her.

“Have you ever thought about going to an music school” I asked she looked at me

“Yea when I was younger I did but when my mother died it was like she took everything with her, that’s when I started basketball and everything that I used to do was left locked in that room” She said I nodded as she explained it to me I guess that would make sense after something like that I wouldn’t play either.

“Well that is until you came, I find myself going up there now and then to learn new songs” She said I smiled at her she kissed me gently.

“Gabs you don’t realize how much you changed my life” She mumbled I gave her a tender smile before I leaned up to her kissing her lightly on her lips.

“Then thanks for letting me” I said she gave me a loving smile

“Anymore questions.” She asked I shook my head as the sun was coming down I loved seeing the sun set from here, she pulled out a glass bottle opening it making a little popping noise. I looked at it.

“Ash is that champagne” I asked she shook her head laughing

“No can’t let you drink, its apple cider” She said pouring it into my glass champagne cup I giggled when the bubbles hit my nose as I sipped it, she poured herself a glass before she went pack in the basket and pulled out two other containers I looked down at it as she opened it my face lit up she had a bunch of chocolate cover strawberries in one container and regular strawberries in the other she went back in the basket and pulled out another container and opened it and sat it next to the other containers it had whipped cream in it.

“Dessert m lady” she said gesturing to the strawberries she took one and dipped it in the whip cream before she held it up to my mouth I opened and bit down on it moaning as it hit my tongue I opened my eyes to see Ash staring at me with desire crossing her face I guess I could make this fun she hadn’t moved her hand away yet so I took the rest of the strawberry in my mouth making sure to accidently suck on her fingers as I did she moved her hand away as I grinned slyly she didn’t catch me I reached for a chocolate cover one and bit into it man these are so good.

“Ash” I moaned she snapped her head to me looking at my lips

“These are so good you have to try one” I finished laughing to myself as she shook her head I laughed and dip on in the whipped cream for her before I held up to her mouth she bit off of it leaving so cream on the side of her mouth she turned to me and smirked.

“These are good” She said I nodded leaning up and licking the cream off the corner of her mouth slowly she groaned before she pulled me on her lap and kissed me feverously I dropped the strawberry and wrapped my arms around her neck as her tongue attacked mines I could taste the strawberry in her mouth and I liked it she pulled back panting.

“Gabs you’re really going to kill me” She had a husky voice I could see lust written all over her face as she stared at me I realized that I was frustrating her I blushed.

“I’m so sorry I didn’t realize that it was that bad” I said I forgot that she used to have sex a lot and it’s been over a 2 and a half months since she did anything.

“Its okay I just need to cool down and I know the perfect way” She said I looked at her confused she pulled me up and began taking off her clothes she was down to her boxers and bra she smirked before she reached for her bra I closed my eyes as I heard her bra hit the floor along with her boxers what is she doing. I heard her run I turned around seeing her naked butt jump off the cliff.

“Ash” I yelled running towards the edge the sun was almost down completely I made out a small form.

“Gabs come on down the water feels great,” She said laughing

“No I’m not jumping” I said there is no way I’m jumping

“Come on it isn’t bad please” She yelled back up I groaned and walked back I can’t believe I’m doing this I striped out of my shorts shirt and underwear putting them next to Ash pile of clothes I closed my eyes and ran to the edge and jumped screaming the whole way down I splashed into the water holding my breath as I went in I opened my eyes and swam up coming to the surface surprisingly that was fun and exhilarating I saw Ash bobbing in front of me with her hair plastered against her forehead grinning at me.

“Wasn’t fun” She asked wrapping her arms around my waist I laughed

“I guess it was” I said pushing away from I swam further out with her trying catch up me I looked up at the sky it was covered in stares and the moon was glowing on us it was breathtaking.

“Amazing isn’t it” Ash wrapping her arms around me from behind pulling me to her I was getting used to this feeling.

“Yea” I said turning around in the cool water facing her

“Ash have you ever had a girlfriend before” I asked curiously she laughed

“Well Aly doesn’t really count because we never went on date or anything most of the time we just messed around like friends so I guess no why” She said I shrugged putting my arms around her neck our legs were getting tangled as we tried to stay afloat.

“Just asking can I ask you something else” I said she smirked

“Go ahead” She said pulling me to her and encircling me in her arms I could feel her whole body against mines making a tremble rack through my body.

“When did you become gay I mean what happened” I asked she looked up like she was thinking.

“Well it was probably in the last year of middle school I was always boyish but I guess I realized I wanted to be a boy instead of a girl and I had crushes on girls instead of boys as I transitioned into high school I realized that I was gay and yeah I guess I just started messing with girls because they used to always come after me so I ended up giving them what they wanted soon I was enjoying it a little to much I guess” She said looking at me as I nodded my head.

“Yes you were enjoying it to much” I said grinning she smirked at me and kissed me.

“But you can enjoy it now” She said I laughed as she crushed her body into mines one of her legs were between mines rubbing against me I moaned softly and frowned at Ash as she grinned and moved her hands down.

“Ash no I told you already” I said frowning she pouted at me

“Fine but you don’t know what you’re missing” She said smirking I laughed

“Yes I do” I said dunking her in the water she struggled while I laughed but then she disappeared I frowned looking down at the water.

“Ash come on don’t leave me up herrrreee” I yelp when I felt my legs being pulled apart followed by ash rubbing me I moaned and stuck my hands under the water trying to move her hands away when I felt her hands leave me I sighed in relief she popped out the water behind me and wrapped her arms around my stomach kissing my neck slowly.

“Ash I told you not to do that” I said slowly relaxing into her

“Can’t you just enjoy it Gabs it’ll make me feel better” She said in my neck her hands went down and grabbed me in in the front rubbing me I moaned.

“Just enjoy it, this will be the last time then” She whispered in my ear I pressed my back into her feeling her chest rub against my back as she pressed her hands harder into me rubbing me.

“Last time promise,” I moaned I felt her nod as her pushed a finger in slowly I felt her hit something that felt so good I moaned loudly as she worked me I was bobbing up and down on her hand enjoying it every time she hit it, it was driving me crazy this felt hotter than the last time she started kissing down my neck as her other hand fondled my breast teasing them as I moved my hips against her hand I could feel a knot forming in my stomach as she worked her fingers faster inside me I felt her grin on my shoulder.

“Hold you’re breath Gabs,” She whispered in my ear what that doesn’t make any sense but what does anything when you’re like this.

“Huh” I moaned confused I was close real close just as she moved in front of me, next thing I now I was underwater I moaned trying to keep it in as she lifted my hips out the water and started to devour me, she licked and sucked on my sensitive spot before she plunged her tongue inside of me I thrashed in the water trying hold my breath, I moaned the water muffled my voice as bubbled formed, she pulled me out of the water and she went down not disconnecting herself from me her tongue kept darting in and out of me making me grasp on to her head pulling her closer to me she seemed to go deeper I grinded into her mouth, enjoying the satisfying feeling of her hot slick tongue, I felt her finger rubbing against as she continued to eat me like she was starving it was too much way too much at once my body was going into over drive, all of these feelings came rushing out my body as I came in her mouth she licked, lapped and sucked hard at me until I was finished I was breathing heavy and out of breath she came up out of the water grinning at me as she held me by my waist as I sagged onto her shoulder my chest moving up and down. That was indescribable it was I don’t know but I wanted more god she was turning me into a sex fein. I lifted my head and looked up at her she was still grinning at me.

(Ash POV)

God she tasted so good even with the salt water around all I seemed to have in my mouth was her, I came up and gripped her waist she looked like she was wiped out as she sagged against my shoulder I was grinning from ear to ear as she looked at me I feel accomplished I got her at her spot.

“I got to taste you,” I said in a sing songy voice she flushed and hid her face in my neck as I laughed at her I felt as though I forgot to do something though.

“Gabs I forgot to mark you” I said she lifted her head and I grabbed her legs and wrapped them around my waist keeping us both a float in the water. I moved my head to her neck but she stopped me.

“No Ash” she said still flushing at me I grinned and kissed her lips slowly and tenderly she opened her mouth as I let her taste herself, strawberries, her tongue battle with mines until I gave up she traced my teeth with her blew slightly into my mouth before she pulled back and kissed me on my neck at her.

“So you planning on finishing what you’re” I ask with my grip tighten on her hips she responded my sucking and bitting on my neck I groaned if she keeps this up we are both going to drown tonight I felt myself getting turned on as she did it hard rubbing her chest against mine as she did I moaned before I pulled her back, she was grinning at me.

“Gabs are you really trying to kill me,” I asked putting my forehead on hers she kissed my lightly on my lips I stared into her beautiful eyes memorized by her.

“God I love you so much” I said with out thinking she looked at me with wide eyes oh shit did I just say that I cursed under my breath.

“I’m sorry Gabriel that wasn’t supposed to come out forget I ever said it” I said quickly hoping I didn’t mess anything up between us she was still staring at me in silence as her face slowly began to turn red.

“It’s ok Ash” She said quietly I sighed in relief I looked at my watch we had to leave now it was close to 7 o-clock.

“We have to go” I said she nodded not moving I looked at her she was staring at me I looked at her did I really just mess this up I raised my eyebrow at her she shook her head before she unwrapped her legs from my waist.

“Ash how are we going to get back up there” She asked as we swam back to the cliff

“I dunno I was going to climb up there like I always do” I said with a serious face

“Ash what the hell I cant climb that” She said I laughed at her and told her to follow me this place was actually pretty cool the only way to get back up there was to go through the cave unless you wanted to swim all the way to the other side which would take forever.

“ Gabs keep up with me I don’t want to loose you its dark out here” I said she nodded and swam next to me.

“Hold you breath we’re going under” I said she nodded I held her hand just in case she got lost

“Ready” I asked she nodded I went under taking her with me we swam for a  good twenty seconds before  I pulled her up with me we surfaced she was coughing slightly I pulled her to me and patted her back concerned.

“You okay” I asked she gave me a small nodded before she looked up

“Ash where are we” she asked

“ A cave come on” I said swimming to the edge a getting out I held my hand out for her she was blushing trying to look away from me I laughed.

“Gabs you act like you don’t have the same thing” I said as she grabbed my hand I heaved her up laughing at her red face I looked her over she looked sexy with water dripping off of her like that.

“Ash do we have to walk back naked” She asked shyly covering her self with her hands and turning her head to the side I rolled my eyes now she’s shy after everything I did to her.

“Gabs I already saw, touched and tasted everything” I said her face deepened maybe it’s just me I didn’t mind walking around naked. I went behind one of the rocks and pulled out a shirt for her to wear I pulled out some swim trunks for me. I put them on before I walked over to Gabriel.

“Here” I said pulling the shirt over her head she lifted her arms and put them in the holes.

“Thanks” She mumbled still looking away from me blushing I shook my head and took her hand walking and made my way to the entrance of the cave I pushed the braches out the way and walked into the trees and up the path to the cliff. Once we got there I put on my bra.

“Gabs I have a bra on now” I said rolling my eyes at her she looked up at me and nodded before she went over and bents down and pick up her underwear she quickly put them on before she took of the shirt and put her bra on.

I gathered everything leaving the strawberries out she’ll probably want to eat them on her way back I folded up the blanket and put it in the basket I threw on my shirt and gave my hoddie for Gabriel to wear it was getting chilly out I don’t want her catching a cold. I picked up the picnic basket as she wrapped herself in my hoddie I put my arm around her as we walked through the forest and back to the truck. I opened the back door and put the basket in the back while Gabriel got in the front.

“Here you go” I said handing her the strawberries as I got in she took them smiling at me I started the car and turned on the heat to warm us up before I pulled off it was a quiet ride on the way home she looked lost in her thoughts while I was mentally hitting myself on the head for telling her I loved her randomly.

“Ash” Gabriel said as I pulled in the drive way I saw two extra cars parked in I guess their here already.

“”Yeah” I mumbled parking and turning off the car.

“Did you mean it when you said you know loved me” She asked quietly blushing I think my face just turned a light pink. I scratched the back of my head.

“Yes I meant it, I do love you well I think I do” I said to her she nodded her head

“Look Gabs I know I shouldn’t have said it kind of slipped out and you don’t have to say anything back,” I said to her she nodded her head still blushing I sighed and unlocked the door.

“Lets get in there before they come out” I said she smiled and we both got out the car I walked in hearing everyone in the living room talking loudly.

I put my keys on the table by the door before I looked at Gabriel her hair was still wet along with mines and I still had on swim trunks.

“You can go in there I’m going to change” I said she nodded.

“are you going to actually put on clothes” She asked curiously I shrugged

“I don’t know maybe I will maybe I won’t why” I asked

“Just asking I’m coming down there with you to dry my hair out” she said we walked quickly by the living room so they wouldn’t see us before we made our way down stairs I went straight to the room and took off my trunks going through my dresser for boxer briefs I put them on before I went to look for a shirt but couldn’t find one so I didn’t put one on I pulled out a pair of blue and green plaid pajama pants and put them on quickly just as Gabriel walked out the bathroom in one of my long sleeve t shirts.

“You have any pants I can’t wear” She asked her hair was up in a messy ponytail I nodded and went in my dresser again I gave her my red plaid pajama pants that matched the white with Fitch in red across her chest I don’t remember giving her that shirt I know its mines though.

“No shirt Ash” She asked shaking her head

“No but I do have a matching bra on” I said proudly pointing to my blue sports bra she laughed as we walked up stair I could still here them in the living room making noise I don’t even know why they are here in the first place.

“What’s up guys” I said as we walked in the room everyone was here except for Tristan who never tends to show up anywhere except that one time at the Halloween party.

“Hey” they all said at the same time Jenna was looking at me with her eye sparkling.

“I finally get to see them up close” She said getting up off the couch and coming over to me quickly, I put Gabriel in front of me blocking her path to me.

“Ash don’t use me as you’re shield I told you to put a shirt on” She said I could hear her frowning as Jenna looked at me sadly.

“No don’t come near me Jenna” I said walking slowly over to the couch dragging Gabriel with me who was protesting the whole time I made it to the couch and sat down I pulled Gabriel onto my lap, she was looking at me frowning I rolled my eyes and looked at my friends.

“So why did you guys come over again” I asked the guys looked at each other then pointed at the girls who grinned at us I groaned this can only lead to one thing.

“Sleep over” they yelled at the same time I groaned I knew this was coming Aly always used to do this.

“and when did I tell you all can stay” I asked raising my eyebrow at them

“Well Gabriel gets to stay so why can’t we” Aly asked

“How do you know she’s staying” I asked prepared to argue her out the door.

“Because she in her pjs” Jenna said I groaned.

“So she has a reason to stay, you guys don’t” I argued back Gabriel was frowning I didn’t feel like dealing with them tonight I was sleepy from last night and from today’s little swim.

“What’s her reason then” Alex said being nosey I rolled my eyes at him I just want to sleep.

“None of you’re business” I said leaning back into the couch

“Well you’re dad said we could stay” Aly said I groaned again Gabriel looked at me

“Sleepy aren’t you” She mumbled her face was a little red I nodded my head at her confused at the color of her face.

“Fine you can stay but you’re all sleeping in here on the floor or couch and we aren’t doing anything tonight but watching a movie” I declared they all nodded

“I’ll get the pop corn and drinks” Aly said excitedly Sean followed her into the kitchen going to help her.

“Where were you guys before we came” Jenna asked I closed my eyes as Gabriel answered scratching her leg.

“Nowhere just rode around” She said just I opened my eyes just as Aly and Sean came in with two bowls of pop corn an arm full of soda and blankets. Matt was standing by the DVD case before he picked one and put it in the player I grabbed the remote beside me and flipped to the DVD screen before I took another remote and turned all the lights out Sean threw me a blanket and passed the other ones around the movie started to play I didn’t pay attention to it I was too tired to care. I moved Gabriel a little and put the cover over both of us before I pressed the button on the chair to lean us back she shifted into me and snuggled up into me as I yawned and closed my eyes listening to the movie I think it was Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

(Gabriel POV)

I’m itchy right now I don’t know why. I feel funny too we were halfway through the movie and Ash was knocked underneath me I think I looked at her she looked like she was sleeping I reached up to rub my itching face.

“Gabs stop moving around” Ash mumbled opening her eyes she looked at me and her eyes got big.

“Shit” she said she leaned the couch back to it’s original position sitting up she lifted me up.

“Guys we’ll be back” Ash said running upstairs she went into her room since Rachel wasn’t there she sat me down on the bed and I looked at her confused rubbing my face again as she went into the bathroom and grabbed some stuff.

“Gabs stop rubbing you’re face you’ll make it worse” She said lifting me up again we went all the way down to the basement.

“Make what worse’” I asked rubbing my arms now I was so itchy all over she groaned and went into the bathroom and filled the tub with water before she poured some salt thing in it I walked into the bathroom confused looking at her as she ran the water testing it. I turned to the mirror and yelp my face was completely red and it wasn’t from blushing I don’t think it was oh god ash was right I do stay this color if I blush to much but the right side of my face was a little swollen around my eye making it look like it was half closed oh man I looked like a red version of the hunch back of notre dame.

“Ash what wrong with me” I asked frantically she stood up

“Calm down you got poison oak” She said taking my pants off of me I stepped out of them poison oak then why doesn’t she have it we went through the same place.

“How come you don’t have it,” I asked confused

“I don’t know if anything I should have because you didn’t touch anything” She said pulling my shirt over my head she cursed again when she saw my arms they were swollen in places and red.

“Ash fix this,” I cried out in panic

“You’re okay just get in the tub” She said I nodded looking at her she sighed turning around as I took off my bra and underwear and got in the tub the water was cold it felt good against my warm skin, she got a wash cloth and ran water on it before she covered my face with it, it was also cold but it also felt good, it smelled funny though.

“It’s a home made remedy my dad made we all used to get poison oak a lot but I’ve never seen it like yours” She said is that a good thing or a bad thing.

“Gabriel its fine you’ll be fine just stay in there for awhile I’m going to tell the other that you’re going to bed and I’ll be back with the other medicine” She said pushing my hair back I nodded and sank lower into the water until it was up to my chin. Ash when she told me she loved me my heart stopped and my stomach turned to butterflies I was shocked I didn’t think she loved me I mean she told me that she might but I didn’t think that she did, some reason though I’m happy that she does and it makes me smile.

“Gabs get out” Ash said taking the cloth off my face I sat up as she held a towel out, I slowly stood up and she wrapped the towel around me I looked behind in the mirror and cringed I looked so ugly right now my face was still red blotchy and swollen.

“Gabs I ran to the store and picked up some cream and some other stuff for you” She said walking me out the bathroom I nodded my head keeping my head down.

“Wait you did all of that in five minutes” I asked I hope she wasn’t speeding down the road.

“No its been 20 minutes” She said she sat me down on the bed and threw me a pair of her boxers and a t-shirt I put them on and waited for while she went through her bag.

“Gabs did you touch that rabbit or any of the plants around there” She asked coming over to me now that I think about it I did touch one of the plants.

“Yeah but I didn’t know it was poison oak I said raising my hand to scratch I was itchy everywhere.

“Don’t you’ll make it worse” She said grabbing my hand and putting it down she pored some white stuff into her hands before she started putting it on my face its was cool and it was taking away the itches. When she was finished she spread some on my arms.

“Any where else” She asked I shook my head

“No I don’t think its anywhere else” I mumbled she chuckled and lifted my shirt up checking my stomach before she told me to stand up and turn around I sighed and did what she said I turned around she kept my shirt lifted and checked my back and my neck before she bent down checking my legs.

“Gabs you want me to check your butt and in between you’re legs for you” she asked I looked down at her she was smirking at me looking up the loose boxer I frowned at her and moved away good thing my face is already red she laughed and stood up kissing me lightly on my lips I pushed her away.

“Ash their upstairs and we always get caught” I said frowning she rolled her eyes.

“Then I’ll tell them to leave” She said smirking at me I shook my head.

“Ash its already 11 o-clock you can’t tell them to leave” I said she groaned at me I laughed slightly.

“go on back upstairs I’ll stay down here” I said not wanting to go up there like this she frowned at me before she left out I sighed now I’m stuck down here by myself. I stood up and looked in the mirror again god I’m so ugly right now my face was covered in the white cream I cant believe I let Ash see me like this, I’ll just go to bed hopefully it’ll gone by tomorrow.

(Ash POV)

When I woke up and saw Gabriel’s swollen red face I knew she had poison oak which was weird because I lead her through everything making sure she didn’t touch anything, I went upstairs to tell everyone that we were staying downstairs and going to bed I wasn’t going to leave my dummy in their by herself that would insensitive.

“Guys me and Gabby are heading to bed” I said to them the girls turned to me smirking.

“Hmm if you guys say so” Jenna said I rolled my eyes at her

“Okay then, um make sure you guys clean up you junk and there are pillows in the closet” I said Alex was frowning at me

“Why do you guys get to have the bed” He said

“Because its my house so you either sleep on the floor or go home” I said he pouted and huffed.

“Fine”

“Good night” I said

“Night Ash” the girls said laughing I groaned and went back downstairs when I reached the room the lights were out I guess she went to bed I closed the door behind me and climbed into the bed only to find it empty I groaned and turned the lamp on I looked around until my eyes landed on her curled into the couch with a small cover what is she doing over there I went over to the couch and picked her making sure I didn’t wake her up I walked her back to the bed and laid her down before I climbed in next to her and turned the lamp out before I covered both of us up she moved closer to me she smelled like the stuff I put on her which really did not smell good at all I scrunched up my face and put my arm around her as she  snuggled into me sighing I kissed her stinky forehead and fell asleep.

Next Day

I woke up turning to my side feeling for Gabriel but she wasn’t opened my eyes and looked around the room the room was empty she must be upstairs with the others I went to the bathroom and did my regular morning routine shower brush and dress.

I put on a plain white t-shirt and some jeans before I put on my black and white converse’s I went upstairs hearing them in the kitchen.

“Hey guys” I said everyone was there except Gabriel and they were all in there pajamas.

“Hey Ash want some” Aly asked pointing to a stack of pancakes and eggs I shook my head frowning.

“No thanks you seen Gabby” I asked the girls looked at me shaking their head.

“No we thought she was with you” Amber said she was sitting on Matts laps he looked exhausted.

“No I woke up and she was gone” I said to myself thinking about where she could have possibly gone.

“Did you fight with her,” Samantha asked frowning at me

“No everything was fine last night when I came back downstairs she was knocked out,” I said running my hands through my hair frustrated before I realized she was most likely still downstairs f they haven’t saw her yet.

“Find her Ash she’ll get lost in this maze” Aly said

“Shut up I think I know where she is” I said walking out the kitchen I went back downstairs and checked I know she wasn’t in the room so that left one option the closet plus I checked everywhere else. I went in front of the closet and opened it Gabriel was sitting on the floor with her face hidden in her legs.

“Gabs what are you doing in here” I asked her squatting down in front of her.

“Ash leave me alone” She said I frowned confused

“Why” I asked getting in the closet with her I closed the door and turned on the small light in here.

“Because I’m ugly” She mumbled I laughed at her

“Gabs its poison oak and you’re not ugly I think you’re pretty” I said moving her head up to look at her I looked at her with shock it was worse than it was last night she must be allergic to it or something. Now her whole face was swollen and a deep shade of red, the bone where her eyebrows were, was now big and swollen making them stand out she started crying.

“I told you don’t look at me I look like the hunchback of notre dame” She said with tears coming down her face.

“Gabriel you’re beautiful to me no matter what you look like even if you do look like him” I said not realizing what I just said she started crying harder.

“See I do look ugly” she whined I shook my head I don’t have time for this I have to get her to a hospital or the doctors. I stood up and  picked her up I went into the room and into the bathroom running some cold water while I pulled some sweat pants out and a hoodie for her I quickly dressed her as she continued crying. I pulled up her sleeve looking at her arms they didn’t look much better that her face. I grabbed the couple of towels and wet them. I wrapped one around her arms and place one on her face.

“Gabriel I’m taking you to the doctors” I said she nodded stifling I picked her up bridal style she pulled the hood over her head and hid her face in my neck as I walked up the stairs. I grabbed my keys chain and went in the kitchen.

“What happened,” They all asked at the same time the girls ran over to us and Gabriel kept her face hidden.

“I have to take her to the doctors or hospital she had an allergic reaction to something” I said they nodded at me asking question I avoided answering them

“Aly lock up when you all leave out” I said quickly walking out the kitchen.

“Call us when you get there” Samantha yelled as I left the house I put Gabriel in the passenger seat buckling her up before I got in and pulled of.f I’ll just take her to my family doctor and it was a shorter than going to the hospital where we would have to wait. I glanced over at her she was turned to her side facing the window away from me.

“Gabs you don’t look bad” I said to her she didn’t say anything I grabbed hold of her hand and gave it a soft squeeze while keeping my hand other hand on the wheel, we drove in silence until I pulled up at the office. I got out the car and walked over to her side of the door she turned away from as I unbuckled her picked her up she buried her head in my neck again

“Gabriel come on you look fine yes you’re a little red and swollen but you still look gorgeous to me” I said she didn’t say anything but nod into my neck I got into the elevator and pressed the button to the 3rd floor.

“Gabs you can’t keep hiding in my neck forever” I said moving my head back to look at her she looked up at me.

“Oh and she comes out of hiding” I gasped smiling kissing her on her lips lightly she didn’t say anything but give me a small smile before she put her head back in my neck just as the elevator dinged and opened up I walk up to the receptionist.

“Hey Ash what you in for today” She asked smiling

“Her I just need him to check her out” I said she nodded and rung the doctor up she talked to him for a few seconds before she hung up.

“Yeah you can go right in he’ll be waiting for you,” She said I nodded and carried Gabriel back there.

“Ash its nice to see you again” leading me to a patients room he sat down in his rolling chair smiling at me

“Hey Dr P” I said sitting down Gabriel still didn’t move.

“So what brings you here today” He asked looking at Gabriel

“Her she ran into some poison oak yesterday I think she’s allergic” I said he nodded

“Well she has to get up on the bed so I can check her out” He said I looked at Gabriel

“Gabby you heard the man” I said she sighed and unwrapped herself from me and sat on the tall bed with her head down I stood next to her as he removed her hood and lifted her face looking at her moving her head from side to side.

"Open up for me," he said I watched Gabriel open her mouth as he stuck the little wodden stick on her tongue, he flashed a light down her throat before he finished.

“She has it on her arms too” I said rolling up her sleeves showing him I looked at Gabriel she looked pitiful right now.

“Are you having trouble breathing” he asked pressing his hand on her neck moving them around as she shook her head he asked her a few more questions before he turned to me.

“Ok, I’ll write her a prescription and I’ll give her some shots for the swelling I don't want her throat to get swollen then she'll have trouble breathing” he said writing everything down I nodded he handed me the prescription and walked out for the shots. I stood in front of Gabriel smiling at her.

“See everything will be fine and I’m never letting you wonder around again” I said she laughed slightly

“And she finally laughing too” I said she laughed again as I grinned at her kissing her forehead the doctor came in with the shots I moved out the way as he gave her each of them in her arms he put the band aids on before he turned to me.

“Everything should be fine now if it gets worse call me or take her to the hospital and she’s going to be sleepy soon so make sure she doesn’t drive or operate anything” He said I nodded.

“You can charge this to the account” I said he nodded again

“Well it was nice seeing you again make sure you get you’re flu shots and I called in the medicine it should be ready when you get there” He said I nodded before I turned to Gabriel who was still sitting there I chuckled at her when she pulled her hood back on I picked her up again leaving the office and saying bye to the receptionist.

“Thank you Ash I’ll ask my father for the money to pay you back” Gabriel mumbled into my neck I shook my head getting out the elevator.

“You don’t have to it’s my fault for letting you wonder around” I said putting her in the car I got in and drove to the pharmacy.

“I’ll be back” I said I got out the car and went straight to the back to pick up the medicine it didn’t take long I paid and went back outside. When I got in the car she was sound asleep I pulled out and drove home.  We were gone for 2 hours by the time we made it home it was 12 o clock and Gabriel was still sleeping. I went over to her side and lifted her out the car locking the doors as I walked up to my door I didn’t have any hands to unlock the door I sighed and hit the door bell with my back Gabriel moved in my arms somehow managing to keep her face hidden.

“Ash what happen when I was coming home you’re friends said you were taking her to the hospital” Sarah said with worry looking at both of us

“Nothing she just had a bad reaction to poison oak” I said as she moved out my way letting me in my father was also standing there frowning at me.

“Ash I just got a call from the doctors what did you do now” He asked I looked at I’m grinning.

“Nothing I took her to the doctors she had to go she has poison oak I tried the things we used but it got worse and when saw her this morning her face and arms were swollen and a deep red color” I said he nodded walking up to me he peeked under her hood to look at her before I could stop him.

“That is bad how did she get this” He asked I shrugged

“We went out she saw a bunny or something she went over to it and I guess she must have touched the plants” I said he nodded

“Sarah go in the kitchen and get a bag of ice” He said Sarah nodded and went in the kitchen I could hear her rummaging around.

“I’ll cover the bill so she doesn’t have to, the medicine he proscribe was expensive” He said I nodded

“I’ll pay it if you want me to” I said he smiled at me as I looked at Gabriel.

“You must really like her Ash for the past few months I never seen you act this way before you’ve changed and I like these changes” He said

“Yeah I do, I told her the same thing she really has changed me she’s even got me back into the piano” I said smiling down at Gabriel she really was amazing, It unbelievable how one person can steal my heart and make me change into a better person.

“Good luck with her Ash and I will pay for it keep you’re money you worked to hard for it” He said he gave me a distant smile before he walked away, Sarah came in and gave me the bags of ice I thank her before I went down the basement and to the room I laid her down on the bed pulling off the sweats and the hoddie leaving her in her t-shirt. I looked at the medicine it was a tropical crème and pills. I smooth the crème on her rubbing it in like the directions said before I got a small towel and wrapped the ice in it before I put them on her face and arms, I moved the covers over her. I turned out the lights and turned the T.V on. I think she’ll be like this for the rest of the break, poison oak takes awhile to clear up so she’ll probably won’t be going to school either until the middle of the week I leaned back on the head board and flipped through the stations.

(Gabriel POV)

I woke up to Ash laughing at something I grumbled and sat up feeling sleepy she was watching SpongeBob I rolled my eyes and she was complaining about Finding Nemo I moved and she looked at me grinning.

“You’re up good you can take your medicine” She said handing me a small plate of food.

“I’m still sleepy Ash, ”I said laying my head on her lap she laughed.

“Eat first the plate and take the medicine then you can go sleep” she said I grumbled and sat up taking out her hands it was left overs from yesterday I ate it slowly leaning on Ash.

“Your swelling is gone” She said grinning handing me a small mirror, I looked in it was gone but I was still red I looked at her and smiled happily.

“It is,” I said grinning at her she laughed and pointed to me plate I picked up my fork and started eating happily.

“Slow down” Ash said frowning at me I laughed and ate slower finishing off the last two bites she handed me two pills and a glass of water I took them and swallowed.

“Do you know how long I’m going to be this color” I asked

“Um doctor said 3 days to a week or 2 weeks” She said I groaned

“But what about school” I asked she shrugged

“If you want to go with a red blotchy face be my guess” She said laughing as I frowned at her.

“Will you ignore me if I do” I asked she laughed again.

“Most likely I would ignore you you’ll be to embarrassing to walk with” She paused I glared at her jerk “but since I can’t be ashamed of a person I like I will walk with you” She said grinning at me while I blushed well I think it blended in with my already red face.

“So you’re going to let me go with you to school” I asked she shook her head.

“No, I’m staying with you if you don’t get better by Monday” She said I nodded I leaned my head against her I was getting sleepy again but I didn’t want to go to sleep.

“Go to sleep” She said I shook my head no.

“I just woke up I don’t need to sleep” I said she chuckled turning to me

“Yes you do” She said she went under the covers and pulled on my legs I squeaked in surprise as she dragged me flat on the bed before she crawled on top of me smirking.

“Go to sleep Gabs” she said I shook my head again fighting off the sleepiness.

“What can I do to make you go to sleep” She said I shrugged

“I don’t know I don’t want to sleep I just woke up” I whined she signed leaning her forehead on my shoulder I lifted my hand and played with her fluffy hair.

“Gabs what did I tell you about the hair” She said I laughed

“Not to touch it but I’ll go to sleep if I get to touch it” I said she laughed and dropped all her weight on me looking at me smirking while I groaned.

“Ash get up you’re heavy” I said pushing on her she laughed again before she flipped me on top of her I lifted my hand and played with her hair ignoring her as she rolled her eyes at me.

“Ash what do you use in you hair” I mumbled running my hand through it

“I don’t know something my dad brought why”” She asked as I moved further up her

“Its just fluffy even though it looks like its hard and greasy” I said tiredly she laughed pulling me down so I was face to face with her.

“Stop and go to sleep” She said scolding me I pouted at her pecking her on her lips before I scooted down on top of her and laid my head down on her chest listening to her heart beats as I felt her run her hand through my hair slowly while her other pulled up the covers. I slowly started to go in and out of sleep before I finally conked out for the day.
