Chapter seven
The next morning I heard someone quietly knocking on the door. Assuming Kelley was still asleep and I saw that Cujo was still asleep I got up quietly and went to open the door.
As I opened up the door I see Carli, and Christie standing there with a very confused looking Jill.
"You told Jill! I said I would Skype her today."
Carli looked at me. "Christie and I had to tell her if she needed to get a hold of us we would be at Kelley's for a couple of days. She demanded to know why and I told her if she wanted to know to come here. and well Ta-da."
Jill looked at me. "So you care to explain?"
"Yeah. Why don't me and Jill talk into the Hallway. Christie and Carli go inside VERY quietly, because there is a sleeping squirrel and a dog that if your to loud will get mad so be quiet, and start cleaning up a little bit."
After I told Christie and Carli about Cujo they seemed kinda worried but continued to go inside so me and Jill could have a mintue to talk.
"She isn't good. She completely broke down last night Jill, and I don't know what to do. I know Carli told y'all about my dreams. I have to. Stay strong for Kelley and help her but I also have to look out for myself."
Jill looked like she has just been hit with a train of information.
"What has she been doing?"
"Completely dismissing Dawn diet. She's been drinking living off of pizza, energy drinks and junk food. And has been harming herself. She has been doing this for a year and a half because she missed me Jill. She missed ME."
Jill looked up at me and pulled me into a huge hug, and that is when I lost it. I broke for the first time since I was captured I wasn't sure what to do. All I could do was cry.
Me and Jill stood liked that for a good five minutes until I stood up and suggested we went inside to help clean the rest of the house.

It was about noon and Kelley still was not so I went upstairs to see if she was awake.
I knocked on her door lightly and proceed to push it open and what I was broke my heart.
Kelley was Standing in the mirror Naked with cuts up and down her body some scares and some fresh ones a couple days old. She was also starting to lose her tone also.
"Kelley... " I whispered.
I swear she jumped 10 feet in the air, and quickly threw a robe on.
"How much did you see?"
"all of it."
"I'm so sorry Ashy. I-I I don't know what happened. I tried it once, and I couldn't stop."
Kelley started crying. I slowly went up to her and wrapped my arms around her.
"You don't deserve me Ashlyn. I understand if you want to go live with Carli or someone else."
I turned Kelley around so she could see me.
"Kelley listen to me, and listen to me good. "No I don't deserve you. I Don't deserve you because you deserve someone so much better. You are amazing Kell you are the sweetest person, you helped me get through security at the airport, and I heard you call me your girlfriend to help the situation. You also got me through the two years in Iraq, I would always count the days until I got another letter. You've helped me so much now it's my turn to help you. Go take a bath and sit in there for a little bit. Me, Carli, Christie and Jill are going to make lunch."
"Wait Jill is here!"
"Yes she came down this morning and I talked to her and we are all going to help you Kelley I promise."

I got back down stairs and went straight to the table, starting to make a shopping list.
"Ashlyn stop."
I looked up to see Christie standing behind me.
"We already got some stuff. We got fruit, cereal, oatmeal, milk, and protein shakes."
"Thank you guys."
"Anytime. Now let's make some lunch because I am starving."
We all laughed for once and started making the best lunch anyone could ever taste.
