Story: You Have My Hart
“So does hypothermia.”
I did not know why he’d said that until he motioned to my shivering body. I hadn’t realized how cold I was until he pointed it out. My arms tightened around my waist. He sighed as if my presence was a major inconvenience to his life and slid his leather jacket down his arms before approaching me.
“Here.” he said, extending the jacket at arm’s length.
I raised my brows.
“What?”
“Take my jacket.”
I didn’t want to argue for a multitude of reasons.
“Thank you.” I said and slid the oversized jacket on.
“Don’t mention it.” He said. “I mean that.”
I was about to question him about why he gave me the jacket if he was going to be rude about it, but someone cleared their throat. Joshua hovered under the doorway.
“I’ve been looking for you.”
His eyes fell onto the leather adorning my body, but he didn’t make any comments.
“I needed some air.”
Asher scoffed.
“I’m going to get a drink.”
Joshua blocked him from getting inside.
“Do you think that’s a good idea?”
Asher smirked.
“No, but I’m going to do it, anyway.”
I watched in disbelief as he strutted inside, hands tucked into his pockets, and whistled a tune. As if he didn’t have a care in the world.

“But the truth is I don’t want to know.”
Wherever You Are, 5 Seconds of Summer
Asher
What a start to a Monday. A call to the guidance counsellor. I sat in the uncomfortable plastic chairs waiting to be called in. I tapped my foot as I watched the clock on the wall move agonizingly slowly. Each movement of the arms was like a jolt to my patience.
“Asher.”
I looked into the familiar caramel eyes, enlarged by thick-rimmed glasses. I’d been here more than I’d like to admit.
“Ms. Kendall.” I said in greeting as I waltzed into her office. “What have I done this time?”
Normally, she would take delight in my quips, but she seemed tense.
