Just like Ashley said, her harassment didn’t stop there.
I was sorting through gym equipment at school when I got a call from the police.

The cops‘ expressions changed.
Ashley’s eyes filled with tears, and she looked at me for help: “Sis, can you say something to help
Now she wanted to use me as a shield.

As Blake glared at me, I looked right at Ashley’s pretty face and said slowly: “What do you want me to say?”
