Alex: You going to.... pursue it once you get out of here?

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:16 pm

Ashley smirks

Ashley:"Why wouldn't I?"

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:20 pm

He laughs.

Alex: Just making sure the heart attack didn't kill to many brain cells.

....so.... are we..... OK?

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:24 pm

Ashley:"Look, I'm not going to promise that I won't be checking from time to time to make sure me girl is being treated roit. That is nothing against you, don't take it that way. But..."

he sighs

"I can't stop you both from getting married. I mean 'ell...me and 'er mother eloped before we told anybody we were getting married..."

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:32 pm

Alex: Well don't worry.... that's not my style..... when I marry your daughter, you'll be right there.

He stands.

Alex: Anyway... I'd better go.... me and Lexi need to get back to Chicago..... but I'll be sure to bring her by before we leave. In the meantime.

He calls out the door

Alex: Excuse me.... nurse. I think Mr. O'Ryan needs to be made more..... comfortable.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:44 pm

Ashley:"I'd like that...if you see Colin let him know, me and him need to sort some things out. I'm sure 'e already knows."

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:46 pm

Alex: Sure thing. I'll see you later.

He turns and leaves.

Some time later, Naomi walks back in...

Naomi: He seemed like a nice kid. Seems pretty together for someone his age...

Jabberwocky Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:17 pm

Ash nods with a sigh

Ashley:"Yeah...its a shame. I pretty much ruined that boys career..."

Cryonix Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:19 pm

Naomi: What....What are you talking about?

Jabberwocky Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:27 pm

He takes a deep breath, sitting down

Ashley:"Its...its something in my past that...that 'aunts me. Something I did that I'll never be able to undo. Something that...something that I wish I 'ad never done and something that 'is father will likely never forgive me for doing...

he leans forward, his hands cupping his face

"No matter how sorry for doing it I am..."

Cryonix Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:43 pm

Naomi: Ashley...what happened? Was it that storyline with Jillian?

Jabberwocky Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:44 pm

Ashley looks up at her
Ashley:"Y-you knew 'bout that?"

Cryonix Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:46 pm

Naomi: It was the storyline of the year....So many people thought it was real...

Jabberwocky Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:47 pm

Ashley sighs

Ashley:"Ya...thought..."

Cryonix Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:50 pm

Naomi: I mean come on, Ashley. I read the sheets. The head writer of Crossfire at the time was progressive...but they really had the fans going with that one.

...I mean, come on...there's no way that you'd be capable of doing something like that for real....right?

Jabberwocky Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:05 pm

Ashley:"The...the kick was written in...that...that was part of the storyline. But wot they didn't know...or maybe they did and they decided to take advantage of it was that I was in a real dark place. And I put some of the blame fer that on Ewan and Jillian. It's...been so long that I can't recall all the details. I'm sure years o'drinking killed some of me memory too. But...the kick was supposed to be 'armless. I mean...we do that shite all the time...
When...when that kick was going to take place I 'ardly remember anything. It's like as my leg swung I lost all me sense. It was just replaced with this...balled up emotion...this frustration and anger and...I unleashed it...

he starts to tear up

"I unleashed it from me boot to the belly of my friend. My friend who was carrying twins..."

his face buries into his arm, his body quivering as sounds of remorse echo

"...This is why I'd never be good fer you. You should....just...go..."

Cryonix Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:10 pm

Naomi puts both of her hands to her mouth in shock. She shakes her head in disbelief...

Naomi: You....kicke....why?

Jabberwocky Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:20 pm

Ashley:"Fer nearly nineteen years I asked meself that. I've never 'ad an answer...Not one that...would ever allow me any repentance..."

Cryonix Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:23 pm

Naomi wants to run. She wants to yell at him. She wants to....just get away....but...She looks at him. Really looks at him and she can see the remorse. She sits down next to him and takes a very deep breath...

Naomi: What you did....was vile....vile, Ashley....but if I left you now...What kind of second chance at life would you have? So...we will sit here....and figure it out. You...

...and me.

Jabberwocky Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:34 pm

he looks like a pitiful wreck as he looks up at her. Tears soaking his face

Ashley:"I don't know wot to do...I used to just...just go to the bottle and drown the memory away until I got sober enough to remember again...then I'd go back to the bottle...But now...
Heh...
Now...now that I can't do that anymore its all I can think of. All day its there. When I go to bed its all I dream about...I almost...almost think it would be easier if I just got me 'and on a bottle of whiskey, and drowned meself if in. And just let the chips fall where they may...I just...I can live with this memory in me 'ead all the time...I can't Naomi..."

Pockets Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:37 pm

Alexis stands in the doorway with Alex by her side, shocked to see her dad in tears.

Alexis: What's going on? What happened?

Cryonix Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:48 pm

Naomi doesn't face the door...she sits there, staring at Ashley...

Naomi: Ashley is...telling me what he's done...and I'm trying to deal with it.

Pockets Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:50 pm

Alexis backs up a little, uncertain.

Alexis: Um... well, I'd say we'd come back later, but we're going back to Chicago... wanted to say good bye before we left....

Cryonix Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:52 pm

Naomi: No...no. Please come in. This is a family issue...and should be discussed with family. I'll...be outside.
