Chapter Text
Ashley's P.O.V:
What happens when your life goes down a road that's unexpected. I will admit that I have made many mistakes in my life, some better than others. I've learned life is just a bunch of twists and turns, I find that it's better to just roll with the punches. Ya see this is what I do every morning. I wake up yo an empty bed, then lay here and contemplate the mistakes I have made throughout my life.
Sighing I looked at the time, seeing it was 9:00 A.M. After rolling out of bed I walked down the hall to my beautiful four year old son's room. "Axel baby it's time to wake up" I said gently shaking him awake. Rubbing the sleep out of his big blue eyes he looked up at me. "Where's Daddy?" he asked in his sleepy voice. "He's at work baby you'll see him tonight" I said and looked down at him. Truth is, is that I don't know if Ryan is at work, or if he's even coming home tonight. Honestly I haven't seen Ryan in day's, he hasn't even came home to see his own son.
I shook the thought away as I started to get Axel's clothes out. After getting him dressed and thanking the lord that he didn't fight me, I turned the TV on for him and started to make breakfast. "Something smells good in here" I heard my brother say as he walked into the kitchen. "I'm making pancakes, where are the kid's?" I said turning around to face him. "They're in the living room with Axel" he said sitting down at the table. "Thanks for taking them to school again" Opie said and looked at me. "No problem I love spending time with them" I said plating all of the food. "Hey have you seen Ryan around lately?" I asked leaning on the counter. Opie just gave me a look and I knew what it meant. "That's exactly what I thought" I said and shook my head. "Axel, Kenny, Ellie breakfast" I yelled and sat next to my brother at the table.
After we all ate Opie and I started to clean everything up. There are some things I need to tell him, but I don't know how to say any of it. "Hey Opie we need to talk about some stuff" I said and he looked at me worried. "You're probably not gonna like this but hear me out, okay?" I said and he just nodded in return. "I'm leaving Ryan and taking Axel to Boston. I'm tired of being beaten, yelled at, and cheated on. I got accepted into a college in Boston, I know I'm 23 but Axel and I need a fresh start, and to get away from Ryan. We can't keep living like this" I said looking down. Opie got up and embraced me into a big hug. "I've been waiting or this day. Yeah we'll miss you guys like hell, but this is what's best for you and Axel. Please be safe and visit or Gemma will kick your ass" he said looking down at me.
After Opie left I got everyone ready for school and loaded up the car. Opie and I had an agreement that he'll tell everyone except for Ryan. I first dropped Kenny and Ellie off at school, them dropped Axel off at preschool. Heading back to the house I had a mental note of everything I needed to pack. It's time to get out and start a new life, not just for me but also for my son.
****Time Skip****
I looked around the house and saw how empty it looked. I had everything packed and in the u haul, this id finally the end. "Come on Thor" I said to my blue nose pit bull and walked out the door. I got in the car after Thor jumped in and went to go pick up Axel. The sad thing is, is that I haven't told Axel yet and I don't know how he'll take it. No matter what this is for the best.
After picking up Axel we headed to the clubhouse where everyone gathered to say their goodbye's. As I pulled into the parking lot I didn't see Ryan's bike thank god. As I got Axel and Thor out of the car a wave of anxiety hit me like a brick wall. Taking a deep breath we walked into the clubhouse. "My baby girl, I'm soo proud of you" my Dad said as I walked in. "Thank's Daddy" I said and smiled. As I was talking to everyone and saying my goodbyes the unthinkable happened.
All of a sudden everyone got very quite. "What the actual fuck is going on" Ryan yelled looking at me. I took a deep breath and walked towards him. "I'm leaving you. I'm tired of being beaten and cheated on, I'm taking Axel and leaving" I said in a very calm tone. "You ain't going no where bitch" he said and slapped me across your face. "You eill not touch ny sister like that you piece of shit" Opied growled as him and Jax walked up to him. "Guy's I got this" I said and put my hands on their chest's. "Fuck you Ryan I'm Done. You'll never see Axel again, not that you even fuckin' care. Have a nive life asshat" I said and picked Axel up. We walked out of the clunhouse, and got into the care leaving my abusive past behind. even though I need a new sart, I will never forget about where I came from, and will bever forget about my family.
