"Are you done?" Asher asked as Summer's tears finally dried up.Nodding Summer sniffled, "Yeah, sorry about that."Feeling embarassed she tried not to look at Asher.  She couldn't believe that she had just spent all that time crying like a baby while the person that should be crying watched. "Don't say sorry." Asher muttered as he attempted to smile.  "Especially to me.""But..." Summer tried only to be stopped by Asher shaking his head."I told you that you aren't the one to blame for this." He repeated sternly.  "You tried to keep me away and I was the stubborn one that refused.""None of this is fair to you." Summer sighed.  "I should have never let you get involved.""Too late for that now." Asher pointed out.  "And even if we repeated the same situation I would have made the same choices all over again.""Why are you so kind?" Summer asked sitting up to look into Asher's eyes.  "I don't

"Are you sure it is safe to move him?" Summer asked as Reggie and Taylor began lifting Asher off of his hospital bed. Wincing Asher tried to feign being okay, but by the look of pain on his face it was easy to tell that he was hurting.  Summer couldn't help but blame herself as she watched, she was sure the exertion from earlier hadn't helped matters, even if he seemed fine during, it didn't mean that he actually was. "Stop being a worried mother." Reggie chuckled as he and Taylor began to move towards the exit.  "Your man's going to be just fine." "He isn't...." Summer began only to stop mid sentence with a look from Asher. With everything that had been going on Summer wasn't entirely sure what they were.  They hadn't set any particular label and they hadn't even really discussed anything.  To her they were just two people who were sleeping together, but she didn't know what Asher thought. Shaking his head Reggie let out a

Summer waited until Asher was fully asleep before she snuck out of the room and headed towards the common room of the Wilson's hideout to find the twins and their father still awake and deep in discussion.  From the looks on their faces, it was clear that whatever they were talking about was pretty serious.Noticing Summer's presence they lifted their heads and fixed their eyes on her as she made her way towards them."What's up?" Summer asked as she reached.  "I didn't mean to disrupt you.""It's no big deal." Reggie quickly said.  "This involves you too anyway.""Oh yeah?" Summer asked sitting down beside Vincent.  "What's going on?""Your father called." Vincent said slowly weighing Summer's reaction to this news.  "He wants to have a meeting with you.""With me?" Summer repeated.  "Did he say when?""Tomorrow." Reggie respoded as his face darkened.  "You can't possibly be planning on going."

Summer's POV "Leave them out of this." Summer hissed keeping her gaze fixed on her father.  "This is between us and neither one have anything to do with this." "Son?" The word could just be heard through the earpiece Summer was wearing.  "Did he just say son?" Trying to ignore the chaos that was beginning to break out on the other side of the line Summer watched as Jackson began to move towards her. "But they do." He said now laughing.  "Had neither existed then you wouldn't have been disobedient.  You would have listened to everything I said and been a good submissive daughter." "I wouldn't have been submissive even if they didn't exist." Summer pointed out in disgust.  "People aren't tools you can use as you please." "Oh aren't they?" Jackson countered as he closed the distance between them.  "Everyone is a dispensable tool to me." Summer didn't have enough time to react as Jackson produced a taz

Asher's POVThe car Reggie was driving screeched to a stop in front of Jackson's house.  The scene in front was that of a horror movie with all the ambulances and firetrucks that lined the streets and driveways.On the lawn ahead laid an unmoving woman that paramedics crowded around, while a foot away from her lay a body underneath a white sheet.Filling his heart begin to pound in his chest Asher jumped out of the car despite the yells of Reggie and Taylor, making his way quickly forward."SUMMER!" Asher yelled just as a police officer held out an arm to stop him from coming any closer.  "LET ME GO!""I'm sorry but you can't move any closer." The police responded calmly while easily holding the frantic Asher back."Please!" Asher begged trying to break free.The longer Asher was held back by the officer the more his panic and fear grew.  Everything about the scene he was watching was similar to that of six years ago.&n
