Thread: Beautiful Disaster [[Writer & AshlinnRose]]

Ash lunged forward almost as soon as she saw Jai start to go down. She easily slipped her arms around the girl's small frame, holding her up for a moment before slowly sinking down to the ground with her. She gently placed Jai's head in her lap as she knelt there, running her fingers through the younger girl's pretty blonde hair. She knew now that she had two choices, either wait for Jai to wake up so that they could take the bike, or find Jai's car keys and drive her home that way. She was nervous about doing the second, as it meant that she would have to trust Mel to lock her bike up and keep it safe, but she also knew that that would be the best choice as it would get Jai out of there a lot faster and without any trouble. She finally tilted her head up, locking her piercing gaze onto Mel. If I take her car, do I have your word that my bike will be guarded and safe? she asked as she looked up at the woman that was her boss. In that instant, though, Ash wouldn't have cared if Mel had been the president of the United States. All she cared about right then was getting Jai home and safe, but that meant that she had to make sure everything was taken care of first. The fierceness in her gaze made it particularly clear that she meant business right then and it was incredibly obvious that she was extremely protective of the younger girl. She had never know about Jai's past, but suddenly she was even more protective as she never wanted the other girl to be injured again. I promise you, there was a man there. I gave him his drink myself after the bottle was dropped, she stated, still watching Mel. She made certain to not mention exactly who had dropped the bottle, as she didn't want to start that argument up all over again. He had dark hair, pale eyes, and a mole on the right side of his chin. I don't know if that means anything to you, but that's what he looked like, she added after a moment's pause, hoping that a description of the man would give Mel the incentive she needed to keep Jai safe. Ash finally returned her gaze to the girl in her arms, her expression visibly relaxing and becoming much more gentle as she looked down at her. It was very apparent in that moment that she was incredibly fond of Jai, perhaps even in a way that was more than just friends. However, she would never actually admit to having feelings for her, as that would put a lot of pressure on both of them and she didn't want Jai to have to deal with the repercussions of that. She was very much the type of person to not want to make anyone suffer for things that she herself did, though that took somewhat of an extreme with Jai, as was apparent with her trying to take the blame for the bottle incident. She soon let out a sigh and slid her arms beneath the younger and lighter girl and lifted her up wedding-style. She turned towards Mel, relatively easily supporting Jai's weight as she stared at the much older woman, her gaze hardening once more until it almost looked like the night sky. In all honesty, when she got like this, it was almost like one could see storm cloud roiling in her eyes. It was so striking that it really did look like the night sky just before a storm, when all hell would certainly break loose. Do I have your word about my bike? Because I want her home and I will not leave her side, she finally stated, making sure that it was very apparent that Jai would be protected with her. There was absolutely no way that Ash would leave her friend's house throughout the entire night, as she didn't want to leave her alone. Luckily, she knew that she still had a few things left over there from when they had first started spending more time together and had been at either one house or the other for weeks on end. She also wanted to get Jai out of the club as fast as possible. She knew that it was relatively safe there, but until the doors were actually locked, there was always the chance that someone could get in. She was particularly worried about the idea of someone getting in that might have the intention to harm Jai, as that man very well might have had the intention of doing.
