House Party

[Ashton]

Ashton struggled against the bonds. And when Jaxen ripped off his mask he didn't expect to be let go. But he was. He dropped to the ground and Jaxen utterly dismissed him. Made a threat on his life -- as if he hadn't done that every single time he'd seem him. Ashton knew he deserved it. Knew that it wasn't his fault. And Jaxen was fine from it all.

But that didn't stop Ashton from scurrying away the moment he could. He muttered thank you as he slide by and ran up the stairs. He was grateful for his life and grateful that he could shut himself into the room with the others. A screaming baby hearlded his entrance as he closed the door behind him. He looked around found everyone sitting and watching. Liv was cradling a new born, Isabel and Ava lay catatonic on on the bed the others all stood around. Liam was staring at his feet. Victoria was covering her ears. "For the love of god feed the child."

Liv growled back at their older sorta sibling "What what? Does this look like a house ready for a baby?"

Victoria stood up and growled back at Olivia. "This house doesn't look like anything at all, why are we still here? Why are we listening to the man who murdered our family?"

Ashton sighed and sat down in a corner. He went from one frying pan into the hot fire. He just needed a moment. Just one fucking moment to himself.
