《Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️》- 16: He humiliated me -
Advertisement
I know the voices in my head aren't real, but sometimes their ideas are absolutely awesome.
This felt like the perfect moment to quote Harley Quinn as I stand from my sitting position in front of the school, nodding my head at Lexi and started to make my way across the parking lot, dragging a baseball bat in my right hand, behind me.
The final bell rang about 5 minutes ago so there were a few students here, already, while the rest were slowly trickling out of the school.
As I dragged the bat across the parking lot with no care in the world, I could feel the air in the parking lot getting thicker, I could feel the gazes of the students turn to me and I could feel the anticipation grow.
I stopped as I reached my destination, and swung my bat up from the ground, so that it's now settled on my shoulder.
I heard gasps as they finally caught on to what's going on. More students were here now and they were all on their phones probably notifying everyone of what's about to go down here.
Good. I didn't miss my last class for nothing.
When I knew there was enough of a crowd around me to witness the madness, I slowly looked around with a smirk on my face.
'It's time to do, what I'm best at.'
I couldn't agree more.
With one last look at Jason's shiny Porsche, I took my stance, tightening my grip on the bat.
And then I swung.
*****
The first thing I noticed when I exited my last class was chaos, pure chaos.
I groaned as I noticed people running out of the school with phones in hand.
"What is even this school anymore?" Cole said voicing my thoughts, as he exits the class behind me.
In between the crowd, I saw a familiar blonde figure, elbowing her way through the crowd followed my two more familiar figures, making me frown.
Seriously? They need more drama for the day?
I extended my arms through the crowd grabbing Dylan and Mia while Cole did the same with Perri.
"And where do you think are you all rushing to?" I asked, so done with drama, already.
Dylan looked at me bewildering. "The real question is why are you not rushing where everyone else is?"
"Dylan I'm too tired for your stupid riddles." I groaned, rubbing my temples.
I looked to see everyone, except Perri, looking at Cole and I like we've grown two heads.
Perri suddenly looked up from her phone with wider eyes, if that was even possible, and snatched her hand out of Cole's, running through the crowd and out of the school, followed by Dylan and Mia doing the same.
Cole and I exchanged alarmed glances before running after them.
The crowd split to the sides when we reached the parking lot, stopping with uncertainty as if they were scared to go near whatever was going on.
Cole and I moved forward using Perri's red hair to lead us to the others.
As soon as the view got clearer and I got closer to the scene, I understood Dylan's riddle.
My eyes widened at their own accord and my pace increased as I laid my eyes on the absolute madness that was in the centre of the parking lot.
Right in the middle of the crowd was a very pissed off Jason, along with Logan and Locke who were staring at Jason's car in disbelief as it's front glass was smashed and laid around it, in almost a million pieces.

And along the car stood a very smug looking Miles holding a baseball bat resting on her shoulder.
Of course.
It's not like I expected her to sit and do nothing, since I saw her reaction to Jason and his sidekicks bullying that kid. She simply got into action as if her body acted on its own, as if she had no control over her anger.
But I certainly didn't expect this. This is something else. Everyone knows what a guy's car means to him, and that's exactly what she went for.
I saw her face when Perri was humiliated by Logan and I knew she was thinking of ways to make him pay, which is why I was set on making her promise me otherwise.
I made a beeline towards them, not stopping to glance at anyone as I could sense that things are not going to be pretty for Miles.
Jason had his back towards me, and I could see Miles looking at him with a smirk on her face.
I couldn't hear what they were saying to each other yet but by Jason's tensed back and clenched fists, I knew that Miles had successfully gotten on his nerves.
"...just because you know he will save your ass, you little bitch."
I finally got into hearing range and my nose flared when I heard Jason spitting words at Miles.
But I was equally mad at Miles, for even getting into this situation in the first place.
It's as if she felt my glare, her eyes flickered to my advancing figure, glaring right at Jason.
Her eyes widened at that before she brought her bat down from her shoulder. "ALEC!" She yelled, making me frown.
Did she really call me by her brother's name? That's messed up...
My thoughts were cut short when two arms hooked under mine, pinning them to my back, holding me back.
I jerked to a stop as everyone looked at me wide eyed, except Miles, who looked at me with a guilty look.
"Let. Me. Go." I said through gritted teeth, struggling to break free but the guy was pretty strong and with my arms hooked at a very painful angle, any move could leave my shoulders dislocated.
"I don't think so. And if I were you I'd stop struggling, make it easier for the both of us." The voice, which I recognised as Alec's, said making my eyes widen.
"You're digging your own grave, you know?" Jason let out a dark chuckle, looking from me to Miles.
"Aww let's not rush in deciding who's grave it is, shall we?" Miles pouted, as my gaze drop to her lips, making me shake my head.
"Miles." I hissed, making her roll her eyes as her gaze snapped to mine. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Em, he's right. Let's talk this out." Cole said, in a soothing but urgent tone.
"Talk this out?" Logan scoffed, turning to look at Cole. "Do you see what this bitch did to his car?"
"I wouldn't talk crap about my little sister if I were you, man." Alec roared, tightening his grip on me.
"Oh really? What are you gonna do? Unleash the beast?" He said faking a shiver. "Oooh I'm sooo scared."
"Logan, stop." Perri intervened. "We don't want to cause any trouble."
Logan laughed at that. "Why are you still here? Didn't I dump your sorry ass?" He advanced towards Perri, making Cole to step in front of her.
"Stop right there, if you want your car in a single piece, asshole." Miles said, twirling the baseball with her fingers.

That made Logan stop and turn back to face her, in alarm.
"SHUT UP!" Jason yelled, gaining everyone's attention. He pointed a finger at Miles advancing towards her, while she didn't even flinch.
"I was going easy on you because you are a girl but you've crossed the line, you who-"
I growled before he could finish while Alec muttered under his breath. "These kids need to drink holy water or something."
"Ooh what are you gonna do? I don't even have a boyfriend for you to make him break up with me." She said tilting her head, mocking concern, earning gasps of surprise from the crowd.
Then, there was silence.
I looked to side to notice the whole group's eyes wide in shock just like mine, except Lexi, who just glared at Jason.
"W- what?" Jason stuttered.
"I'm not even gonna tell you how I figured it out." She waved her hand dismissively. "But honestly, you did a huge favor on Perri really. I mean she's way out of Logan's league, anyway."
Jason looked around, his face red, as people started talking before snapping his head back towards Miles.
"Who do you think you are, nerd? You're still a pathetic excuse of a girl and I think you've used that card for long enough." He spit the words in rage.
"Shit! Really? I didn't think that card had an expiration date." She said rubbing her neck.
What is she DOING?! It's almost like she trying to get him riled up on pur-
Wait.
That's exactly what she's doing. But I need to be there to save her.
"Alec what are you doing man? You don't know Jason, he doesn't have any morals, he'll hit a girl if he wants to." I said in desperation as I struggled, but his grip tightened.
"Don't you think I know that? That guy reeks of something pathetic." He said with gritted teeth.
"Then let me go, do you really want Miles to get hurt because she convinced you in being part of her stupid plan?!" I hissed.
"Do you think I want her to get hurt? She's my little sister." He said, before I heard shuffling from him as I struggled a lot more.
Miles did not stop and kept riling him up. I could see his fists clench and his posture tense, making Em's smirk widen.
"I'll tell you what," Miles suddenly said after Jason something I didn't listen. "According to your wishes, I'll be your slave for a week..."
I thrashed around in Alec's grip making him groan and call out a name, I didn't notice. Soon, I was grabbed by two more pair of arms.
Now, both arms were held back by two different people, the other one being one of Alec's friend, I think his name's Harry.
"Man I still don't think it's a good idea." Harry said, struggling to keep his grip on me. "Emily could get hurt."
"Thank you!" I said exasperated.
"Hey! Why do you all think I don't care about my little sister?" He said defensively. " Do you have no trust in her?"
"If..." Miles continued with a smirk on her face intact, making me anxious. "...you manage to pin me down for 10 seconds, and vice versa."
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" I couldn't help but yell, making all eyes snap to me, while, Miles rolled her eyes. "JASON I SWEAR TO GOD-"
"An opportunity to make Ryder Green's girlfriend my slave while he's all bound up like that?" I could hear the smirk growing on his face, even if he was facing away from me. "And you're doing this willingly?"
Miles frowned before muttering an 'I'm not his girlfriend' under her breath before nodding, making Harry tense up. I looked to my side to see a smirk identical to Em's, on Alec's face.
Are they insane?
"Great!" Lexi cheered coming in between them, grabbing the baseball bat and creating a distance between them. "So the rules are, that there are no rules. Whoever pins the other down for 10 seconds wins."
She moved away from them, before whispering something in Em's ear, making her nod.
I could hear objections from all our friends but they were all unheard as Miles masked her face with a blank look.
"MILES!" I yelled, gaining her attention and her eyes softened for a second. "You promised." I said in desperation, because I know physically struggling is of no use.
She looked at me before slightly nodding. "I know, and I'm keeping it." She said with a soft smile before she masked it again.
How is this, keeping it?
Logan and Locke stood back with smirks on their faces and I noticed Jennie and her minions standing with them as well.
"Alright, let's get this over with." Jason said advancing towards Miles, who's eyes didn't waver from him.
When he moved to simply grab her arm, she moved her arm away, grabbing his hand with her other arm, twisting it all the way so it's behind his back in a very painful manner.
She smirked, when a whine escaped Jason's mouth before she kicked him on his back, making him stagger and fall.
To say that I was surprised, would be an understatement. My jaw was on the fucking floor.
The fact that she could twist his arm like a pool noodle, is almost unreal. Jason is a football player, and he has quite some strength when it comes to his arms and it would take a lot of power to make him whine that way.
I noticed from the corner of my eyes as Alec's smirk widened.
"Really? That's all you got?" She said, Jason scrambled to his feet. "I'll give you another chance." She winked, making the crowd go insane.
People were laughing, while some were recording.
'He humiliated me.'
My eyes widened as I remembered what Perri said under the stands.
She planned all of this. She smashed his car, riled him up and did it in front of a crowd, on purpose.
She wants to humiliate him, and she knows that won't happen if I simply beat him up.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I noticed movement to see a very livid Jason advancing towards Miles, raising his hand clenched into a fist.
I almost wanted to shut my eyes, but I didn't.
He swung at her with quite some force as his entire body titled but Miles blocked it, grabbing his fist in her hand.
Literally stopped his punch mid air.
With her bare hand.
WHAT?
She didn't stop to look at his surprised face as she swung her own fist back and landed a punch on his face, with so much force, his whole body twisted and the sound of a crunch filled the silence in the air.
There were a series of 'ooohhs' around the crowd. Even that asshole's own group looked bewildered, as Jennie raised a shaky hand to her mouth.
But Miles didn't stop there. She turned her body in a 360 and landed a perfect kick on Jason's face making him land on the floor of the parking lot again, this time, quite painfully.
He landed with a split lip, blood gushing out of his nose and a very ugly bruise on his cheek, while Miles stood in the same position, untouched.
Jason groaned before slowly getting up, a little too slowly. He was obviously in pain.
He advanced towards Miles again, raising his left arm and as Miles went to grab it, he elbowed her in her stomach with his right arm, making her wince as her face scrunched in pain. He noticed and kept digging his elbow in the same area till she groaned and staggered back.
But she did that, without letting go of his arm and after getting to a distance, she brought up her knee to his stomach, making all the air knock out of his lungs.
She kept kneeing him in the stomach with rage clear in her eyes as Lexi rushed forward wrapping her arms around Em's waist pulling her away from Jason.
Without any support, Jason fell on the ground with another painful groan as he spit out blood and gasped for breath.
Miles looked livid, as her chest heaved up and down while, Lexi spoke to her in a hushed tone.
There were cheers in the crowd as people snickered at the fact that Jason got beaten up by a 'girl'.
I noticed movement from my side as I saw Logan step towards Miles, while she had her back towards him.
I hadn't noticed till then that I had stopped struggling so the hands on me had loosened their grip.
"MILES" I yelled running towards them as I broke free from their grip, but I was too far and Logan had almost reached Miles, when she suddenly turned.
She wasted no time in grabbing Logan's fist before it could touch her and again, bended in all the way in a very painful angle behind his back, making him scream like a baby.
I stopped in my track at that.
The strength, the reflexes, the technique. It's almost as if, it all came to her, naturally. As if she's used to this?
She kicked him in the back of his legs, making him fall on his knees, as she kept her hold on his hand, still behind his back.
She bent to place her lips near his face. "Playing unfair? Really? If you want to fight me, just ask."
"Wait!" A voice suddenly said making Miles look up in alarm.
Perri moved in the middle of the crowd, stopping right in front of them.
Cole followed close behind her, in a protective stance.
Logan looked up at Perri, still wincing in pain. "Perri I-"
A loud sound of a slap echoed through the lot as Perri's hand left a print on Logan's cheek, making his head turn to the side as he winced as his pain increased.
Everyone in the crowd gasped at the exchange. "What did you say to me this morning? You took my virginity?" Perri said narrowing her eyes at him. "Does it still count if the girl isn't finished? If not, then I guess I'm still a virgin, no thanks to your good-for-nothing self."
Miles snorted and cleared her throat, stifling her chuckle as the crowd howled in laughter.
She looked at Perri in astonishment. Perri met her eyes and smiled a soft smile, nodding in gratitude, making a small smile grow on Miles' face as she nodded in return.
"Looks like someone's gonna have fun being Emily's slave!" Dylan's voice cut through the tension as he emerged through the crowd with his phone in his hand, recording Jason's beaten up figure.
He moved forward, patting Miles' back, making her roll her eyes and let go of Logan's hand, making him stagger forward and cradle his arm, which is probably dislocated.
Alec moved from behind me and draped an arm over Miles' shoulder. "See? I don't want her to die," He said looking at Harry. "yet"
Miles rolled her eyes ducking from under his arm and hitting him in the back of his head.
The crowd slowly dispersed, as Locke and Logan slowly tried to bring Jason back into consciousness.
I slowly moved forward with the rage, very much still there. "Yeah, good job keeping your promise Miles."
I was not mad at her. I don't think I ever will be. But the thought of her getting hurt just makes me very unhappy.
And the fact that she planned for Alec to hold me back so I can't intervene brings an unsettling feeling in me.
What if something would've happened to her?
I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself.
She turned to look at me from a very excited Mia. She gulped as she noticed the glare I was sending her way, as she bit her lip.
"But I did keep my promise."
"Really? I don't remember you promising me a slave for a week." I said, still scared by the fact that she could've been hurt.
"Oh please. He's my slave." She said glancing back at him.
"I promised to you that I wouldn't get hurt, and look," she looked down shaking her arms and legs. "I'm not hu-"
She winced mid-jump, gripping her side, where Jason elbowed her, making my heart jump up to my throat.
She gonna be the death of me.
