Heat

Chapter 27

Ashley was in complete horror as she watched Jay place the roses in the vase that was on the

available table, "What are you doing here, Jay?" She asked as normal as possible but when Jay turned

around with a furrow on his face, her heart skipped a beat, "Tatiana told me that she saw you in the

hospital when she came to visit Jake, so I came to visit you," he said mentioning Jake's name with

such ease, which angered Ashley.

"Okay, but Jay, how did you get in here?" She asked watching him circle her bed, "Oh, that was

simple," he said as Ashley rolled her eyes, "Let me guess, you came as my boyfriend?" She asked as

Jay smiled, "Bingo, princess!" he exclaimed as Ashley furrows, "Why did you lie, Jay?" She asked as

Jay furrowed, "I didn't lie, sweetheart, I am your boyfriend," he said as Ashley slowly sat up getting a

creepy vibe from Jay, "You're not, Jay, and you never were," she said as Jay's face suddenly went

blank scaring the hell out of her, "I could've been, if it wasn't for Jake, how is he by the way?" He asked

in a mocking tone. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

"You should know, you're the one who did those horrible things to him," she said in a disgusted tone as

Jay chuckled, "Oh, he told you," he said walking to sit on the edge of the bed, "Well, he had it coming,"

he said with a widen smirk on his face, "How could you talk like that Jay, you and your brother almost

killed him," she said as Jay scoffed while standing up from his seat, "Whatever, but why do you care

anyway, Ashley, I thought you hated him?" He asked walking towards her as she moved back, "You

know, Ashley, I didn't appreciate you taking him to our spot," he said as Ashley gasped, "You were

stalking us?" She asked in disbelief and horror, "I sure did and you know what I hated the most when I

sat down in my car and watched you both, huh?" He asked suddenly grabbing onto her neck which

caused her to scream out.

"I hated to watch him f**king kiss what's mine," he whispered deeply in her ears as her eyes filled up

with tears, "Tell me, Ashley, why do you let him in so easily, why do you always give him a chance, tell

me," Jay demanded as Ashley shivered in fear while tears ran down her cheeks as she bit back her

sobs. Jay began to get impatient as his grip tightened around her neck, "J-Jay, you're h-hurting me,"

she said struggling to breathe as she held onto Jay's wrist.

"Tell me, Ashley, why?" He asked again as Ashley couldn't take it anymore and blurted out, "B-

Because, I love h-him," she said as Jay quickly let go of her neck taking a step back. Ashley held her

neck as she gasps for air. Jay stood there staring at her with so much hatred, "What did you just say?"

He asked in a deadly tone causing Ashley's heart to speed up in fear.

The assistant monitor caught Ashley's attention as she slowly reached for it without Jay knowing,

"WHAT THE F**K DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME, ASHLEY?" He yelled as Ashley stared back at him with

cold eyes, "I said I love him, I love Jake," she said as Jay suddenly charged towards her, but Ashley

was too quick as she pressed the button on the assistant monitor before leaping out of the bed, so that

it was now in between them.

Ashley stared back at Jay with eyes still clouded with fear and heavy, unstable breaths. Jay smirked as

he stuffed his hands in his pockets, "You sneaky little vixen," he said walking back towards the door,

"This isn't over, Ashley, it's just the beginning, I'ma keep a close eye on you and tell Jake that if he

doesn't stay away from what's mine then I'ma make sure and finish the deed, "I'll see you around, baby

girl," he said with a wink before leaving.

The assistant monitor slipped out of Ashley's hand as Jay's words began to register in her head. Her

heart once again sped up as tears began to roll down her cheeks. Before you knew it Ashley's body

collapse on the floor as she finally let out the sobs that were begging for release.

The nurse had finally rushed into the room to find Ashley on the floor sobbing, "Ashley, oh my," she

said rushing to her side pulling her into a comforting hug.

Katie and Roger rushed towards Ashley's room after receiving a call from her nurse. As they entered,

they found Ashley sound asleep with her nurse at her bedside gently stroking her hair, "Nurse, what

happened to my daughter?" Katie asked walking to stand on the other side of the bed, "I don't know,

she was fine after I brought her back to her room after spending time with her step-brother," she said

as Katie stroked Ashley's hair, "She pressed the assistant monitor and when I came, she was on the

floor sobbing," the nurse said as Katie look back at her with sad eyes, "What's happening to my baby,"

Katie mumbled as her eyes filled up with tears, "Can we have Ashley move into Jake's room, we want

them together," Roger said as Katie nodded, "Sure, no problem," the nurse said before leaving them

alone.

"Roger stood beside Katie before taking her into his arm, "Why is all this happening, Roger?" She

asked breaking down in his chest as he stroke her hair, "I don't know, my love," he said before kissing

her head.

Jake's door opened catching his attention as he watched a male nurse push Ashley's bed into the room

causing him to furrow. Soon he saw Katie and Roger entered the room, "Katie, Roger, what's going

on?" He asked, "I don't like Ashley by herself, the nurse said she had a panic attack," Katie replied as

Jake furrowed, "Panic attack, but she was fine earlier," he said looking at Ashley, who slept peacefully.

"I don't know why this happening, but I don't want Ashley alone," Katie said in a stern tone as Jake

continued to stare at Ashley, before something on her neck caught her attention.
