Over the next few days Red was in mine and Quinn's room only to leave to go help arrange the meals, get ice or leave when Quinn comes in the room to give us privacy.
I stratched my arms out over my head, a sigh left my mouth "thank you red for taking care of me during my heat, if you need anything please don't be afraid to let my know" I say turning to her with a smile as we stood on the back porch of the pack house, she finished watering the flowers on the railing of the porch. "I do need to get groceries but I'm too busy here" she says pushing her hair out of her face then taking off her gardening gloves.
"I can go for you" I said stepped to the railing of the porch, a smile of relief formed on her face "will you? Oh thank you Luna, you are a god given" she sighs happily pulling out the pocket notebook out of her back pocket with a pen. She wrote down what she needed then handed me the folded paper "it's no biggie" I say as I look over the list. "Well I'm gonna go, I'll bring Stella with me" I said as I make my way back into the house "be careful, there has been rogue sightings lately" red warned waving as I walked inside, I waved goodbye and went down the hall to Quinn's office, knocking on the door.
"Come in" a voice said from inside the room.
I open the door and step inside, Quinn and Westley sat at the desk and stopped talking once I walked inside. "What's up love?" He asked sitting up straight a smile on his face "um I'm gonna run a errands for red, I'll be back" I say hopefull.
"Who is going with you?" He asked alarmed, I fiddle with the paper behind my back "I'm gonna ask Stella if she wants to go with me, I'll bring some guards" I said to ease his uneasiness. He thought it over before his eyes glazed over, mind linking then looked up at me "Stella will go with you, she will be waiting in the front along with Sam and James" he said and I smile walking around the desk giving him a kiss "thank you" I say as he hummed in response while giving me the pack credit card. I put it in my back pocket then leave the office while they go back to what they were doing, stepping outside to see Stella driving her white car out of the garage, another car pulled out behind hers this one was a black van.
I get in the passenger seat of her car and stella cheers "let's get this show on the road!" And speeds off down the driveway and onto the road, I slide back into my seat with the force of the car and quickly put my seatbelt on. "Hey I'm not that bad of a driver" Stella laughed as I hold onto the seat, watching her swerve in and out of traffic "how many times did you take your driving test?" I asked curiously and she fake gasps.
"Are you saying I'm a bad driver?! Noooo..... Three times" she laughed then answered the last part lowely, not being able to hold it in anymore I burst out laughing alongside Stella. After a few red lights we make it to the grocery store, Stella parked as close to the front as she could and we made our way inside not looking at the very visible walking sky sculptures behind us. We pass by a few pack member as we walk around the store grabbing ingredients that was on the list receiving a few 'good morning Lana's'. "Hey Lee" Stella said quietly putting something in the buggy, we had a total of three buggies full of food, one would think we were making a large amount of food for Thanksgiving. Little do they know.
"Stella" I say in response raising a eyebrow as I watch her sneak something in the buggy "shhhh" she said before turning away with a buggy. I shake my head with a chuckle and we check out, the pack guards bringing the food in the van since it all wouldn't fit in Stella's car.
"Please bring these to red, thank you" I said as the guards bowed and left with the food so the cold food didn't get warm, me and stella walk to a restaurant beside the grocery store, it was well decorated the tables spaced out from each other. "How many?" A waiter said as she walked to us when we stepped inside "two" Stella replied, the girl nodded and motions for us to follow her as she picked up two menu's. "Here you go, what would you ladies like to drink?" She asked grabbed her pad and pen out of apron. "Two waters please" I say knowing what Stella would want since that's basically what she always drunk when we were hanging out, the waiter nodded and walked off to the kitchen, Stella looked at me "you know me so well" she said as we both started to look through the menu, I decided to get a hamburger with fries "around you enough to know" I say closing my menu.
The waiter returned with our waters, setting them down on the table in front of us "are you ready to order?" She asked and I nodded "I'll get the number 3" I said looking up at her, she repeats the order as she writes them down in her pad. I pick up my water and sip on it, noticing the waiter watching me, before taking Stella's order. "I'll be back with your meal" she said walking away again, taking another sip of the water, I make a sour face and set the almost empty glass down "you okay?" Stella asked drinking her water.
"Yeah" I said wiping my mouth with a napkin, it took ten minutes before we got our food, Stella telling me all about this new movie she wanted to watch with me that she thought was amazing in her words. I reach up and rub my throat coughing in my hands, not being able to hold them in "you okay? Here drink some water it will help" Stella handed me my cup and I think her drinking the rest before setting it down.
Stella took a bite out of her hamburger with a low groan of approvel, I burst in a fit of coughs, covering my mouth as a liquid filled my mouth and slipped through my fingers. The taste of copper in my mouth, I pulled my hand from my mouth, it was now painted red with blood that continued to pour out from between my lips. "Oh god! Ashlee are you okay?!" Stella asked noticing my state. I shook my head no as I tried to cover my mouth but the blood wouldn't stop coming out.
She jumped up out of the chair and helped me up out of my chair, putting my arm over her shoulder and she hawled me out of the restaurant and to the car at a fast paste. "It's getting hard to breathe" I gasped, Stella cursed and put me in the back seat and got into the car, putting the phone to her ear after dialing a number "breathe Ashlee" she commanded with worry in her voice before speeding out of the parking lot and onto the road.
"Quinn! Something is wrong with Ashlee" Stella yelled not being able to hold in her frightened reaction. "Okay.... Okay we are almost there" she said before dropped the phone in the seat. I cough again feeling my body burn, this was different than my heat, something isn't right.
