Ash did not denounce what the girl had said about him smoking, he knew it was bad but he found it hard to quit. Ash did not mind what she was telling him, he was surprised someone was opening up to him like this and he was even more surprised that he was willing to listen this wasn't an every day thing for the boy. "I know smoking is bad for me but it seems to keep my nerves at ease..." he paused and then dropped the cigareete t othe ground and put it out with his foot. He crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm sorry about your dad and I completely understand about your mother, my mother had the same occupation until my father found her." He sighed he had never fully liked his parents especially when they punished him, but that was only natural.<br/><br/>She thought he was going to turn her in, No Ash did not have the slightest notion of turning Jennifer in, why would he? she was the first girl he actually talked to for five minutes before having in his bed ((which he did not intend to do at the moment.)) " Don't worry I won't take you back, I understand and respect your reason for leaving." he said.<br/><br/>He stepped towards her staring at her wrists, he could make out the scars in the moonlight. He trailed his fingers along the scars softly and sighed then he looked into her eyes. " Never do this to yourself again, never hurt yourself again." he said softly, "Your to beautiful to do this to yourself." He said reaching up and placing his hand softly on her cheek. He did not believe her mother would accept her, if she did she would not have thrown her into that hellish place but he would not tell her that, he would not hurt her feelings.<br/><br/>He could not help but chuckle when she sniffed the air, "I was doing chores as punishemnt for getting in a fight at school today." he said and smiled glad she had changed the subject he did not want to wind up saying something to hurt her feelings.<br/><br/>He chuckled again when she tried to explain what she meant, he found that to be rather cute. " I understand... it does looks like i'm a servant, but no i'm not..." he said and smiled at her. "Your not going anywhere are you? if your not I would like for you to stay here for tonight, you know just until your ready to leave." he said, secretly hoping she would say yes, but of course because of his dark and proud personality he would not let it show...completely.
