This was weird being inside the walls while Ashley is watching my every move. I so wanted to wave up to the sky at her but than felt ridiculous and besides the AI might figure something out. Swallowing I let my eyes scan the room around me; pictures littered the desk and dresser. Ashley smiling in every picture, arms around girls and guys and no one looked sad so why did that change for her when she met me? Because she loves me, I know that.

Taking a few breaths I had to calm myself down and remember to breathe. I could feel the difference in the air, it was heavier than outside. Before I could see anything else the doors opened and two people walked into the room. One was a male. His shoulders broad, pulled back and he stood tall, graceful. His brown eye and eyes immediately alerted me to how he was Ashley’s father. The woman was about the same height as Ashley actually I believe she is a few inches taller. Her nose was what gave it away and when she smiled rushing forward enveloping me into a hug I knew she was Ashley’s mother.

“Where have you been 24?” she whispered holding me tight into her body like I’d float away if she let go.

Standing awkwardly with my arms dangling at my side as she held me, I was unsure what to do.

“Hug her,” Ashley spoke into my ear sounding as if she was in the room with us. There was anticipation and sadness drenched in her words that made me immediately wrap my loose arms around her feeling her shake slightly within them.

“I’m fine,” I whispered out to her hoping that my voice came out like Ashley’s. It must have because soon her dad was holding the both of us in his large arms.

After a while the two released me letting me breathe. It felt so weird being hugged and touched but I let it go because they need to think I’m her.

“We’ve been looking every where for you, where were you?” her father asked letting his soft eyes raking up my body for I’m guessing damage.
