Links to the Past

Everyone thought they'd last together, Marcus Riddermann and Ash Thompson. They were together all through out high school, and got the most votes for the cutest couple in the school. They had a bunch of friends, and were quite happy together. On the last day of Senior year for the both of them, the incident happened. Ash and Marcus had a huge argument, and ended up breaking it off. Marcus felt horrible, and Ash felt humiliated. After that day, Ash moved to a small town in Illinois, while Marcus stayed in San Diego, California.

Every day for a year, Marcus sends Ash an e-mail in hopes of a response at least once. And everyday for a year Ash deletes the e-mails without reading them. She refused to let Marcus hurt her again, and she refused to even talk to him. Ash felt empty inside, like a huge gaping hole had been put in her heart, and now the emotions that once were, weren't. She felt nothing toward Marcus in that year except for hatred. It grew every time he sent her an e-mail, but so did the anxiety. She was anxious to get rid of the feelings she still had for Marcus, and when she met Nick Pierce, she finally managed to shed those ugly feelings.

It is now three years after Marcus stopped the e-mails, and Ash has not seen, nor talked to Marcus in four years. She had heard that after the e-mails stopped, Marcus had decided to do something with his life, and move on. He moved to Canada, and became a well known writer. His works ranged from Poetry, to short stories, to novels. His name was worldwide. He was an international celebrity of sorts. Almost everyday there's an article in the paper about something new that he's done, or a new book that has just gotten published. It infuriates Ash to no end to see that Marcus won't leave her alone, even after stopping the emails.

So, she decides to take a vacation, and stay with one of her friends in San Diego. She takes her husband, Nick Pierce, with her to introduce him to her family. The one thing she is not expecting though, is for the one person she doesn't want to see to come waltzing back into her life. So when Marcus Riddermann shows up at her favorite restaurant at the same time as her, things start to get a little crazy.

Nick, Ash, and some friends were dining in the restaurant for a brunch meal when Marcus shows up with his editor and publisher. He lays eyes on Ash, and for a minute, their eyes connect. Shock registers on his face, then that tender look that Ash fell for so many times in high school. But Ash is furious. This is the one thing she didn't need. But what shocked her, was that the moment she laid eyes on him, all the old feelings and memories she had shared with Marcus came flooding back. Memories and feelings she could have sworn she had dumped in the Atlantic ocean long before. So when everything Ash knew is thrown upside down, and she's determined to settle things once and for all, what is bound to happen?

Role
Name Ash Noelle Thompson
Nickname/s Ash, Noelle, Elly, Nelly, Elly Nelly.
Age Twenty one.

Appearance Ash has long a petite frame, one that appears both delicate, and sturdy. She's five foot seven and a half inches, which generally makes her feel rather short around her family. She's got long, silken blonde hair that appears to grow lighter in the sun, making her almost platinum blonde. Her small build comes from healthy eating, and daily exercise so she's about one hundred and fifteen pounds, making her light as a feather to most males. She's got hazel eyes with flecks of gold in the iris, and a ring of orange around her pupil. Her nails almost always have a neon baby blue nail polish on them, and she wears two watches, and several bracelets and bangles on her wrists, and always keeps at least four spare hair ties with her. Why? Because she likes to do stuff with her hair.

Likes Nick; She loves Nick more than anything in the world. At least, she thinks she does. Music; She can't go a day without hearing at least five different bands a day. Photography; Ash is pretty into photography, and she is damn good at it too. Reading; Almost always does Ash have a book on her person. Sketching; Again, something Ash is into. She's really good too, though she mostly does landscapes. Sun; Ash loves to just lay in the sun. Writing; Ash often expresses herself through the written word. Sunrise/sets; Ash loves to watch the sun rise or set on the beach. Shiny objects; In reality, who doesn't love a shiny object. Sparkles; Ash loves the way they shimmer and reflect the light. Roses; They're her favorite flower, and hold a special meaning to her.

Dislikes Rude People; Ash hates them. Bees; She's not scared of them, just finds them extremely irritating. Public Speaking; Ash hates this due to being forced into public speaking several times in school. Girly Girls; Ash finds the way the dress is rather annoying. And they just annoy her. Cell Phones; Ash doesn't believe in owning a cell phone. Horror Movies; They give her really bad dreams. Being the shortest; Ash hates being the shortest. Which she is most times. Make Up other than eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss; The only reason Ash puts mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss on is to bring out her eyes and keep her lips moist.
Quirks Ash has an odd habit of counting things when she's bored, she has to have exact change, and almost never eats no name brand stuff. She has to have at least one bottle of Mountain Dew, and Cream Soda a day.

Personality Ash has a tendency to act tough when she's hurt. This is how she was when Marcus and her broke up, and this is how she is now. Though, her personality has changed slightly. Back in high school, she was rather quiet, shy, and was often labeled as a nerd for being smart. She met Marcus through chance, and he opened her up, and got her to be a bit more extroverted than introverted. But, one thing stayed the same. She was still labeled as a nerd.

Now, Ash has an outer layer that very few get through. This outer layer is a facade, one that hides an inner, more compassionate girl. On the outside, and at first glance, Ash appears rude and too forward with her words. This strikes her friends as odd, considering how lovey dovey she used to get with Marcus. She acts tougher then she truly is, and hides her emotions underneath a layer of aloofness. She'll purposely distance herself from people to hide her emotions and too keep them from getting too close. But one unmistakable trait about this girl is her ability to care for those who have gotten through her outer layer and stayed close to her heart. She'll be the shoulder to cry on in times of need, and she'll be the one to give them words of advice. This girl is a truly lovable and compassionate girl who couldn't lay a hand to anyone who's hurt her. Though, this isn't to say she's all sugar and spice and everything nice.

Ash has a temper like no tomorrow. When triggered, she loses all sense, and goes into fight mode. Prepare yourself for a tongue lashing from this girl when she's angered. The only time she truly hit someone is when she's angered. Though, she's rather easy to calm down if Nick is around, or if she has her iPod with her. Her temper is not easy to trigger, but it is something you don't want triggered. At all.

History The night of Ash's birth was a wondrous occasion. It was September fourteenth, Alyssa and Peter Thompson were throwing a house party in congratulations to one of their friend's new job. Alyssa was sitting beside her husband when she doubled over in the chair, and almost banged her head on the table in front of her. Her water had broke right then and there, in front of all their friends. Embarrassed, yes. Happy? For sure. The long awaited child was about to be born that night. Alyssa was rushed to the hospital, and Peter accompanied her. Once in the hospital, Alyssa went into labor and was rushed to a room. Almost immediately following, Ash was born at 10:27 pm, on September fourteenth, 1989. All of the friends that attended the house party gathered round after her birth to see the beautiful baby girl that had both her mothers and fathers features.

After her birth, Ash grew up normally. She was put into school, never failed a class, and always showed up on time. She was an angel some would say. Her parents disagreed though. They thought that Ash was too quiet, and that she studied too much. By the time Ash was in middle school, she spent most of her time studying. This worried Alyssa and Peter to no extent, so they introduced her to their friend's son, who happened to be Marcus. From there, she was introduced into a group of friends that only after some time of badgering her, she was pulled into. Shortly after she met Marcus and his friends, she began to get out of her room more, and Alyssa and Peter were happy to see their daughter looking so lively.

A couple days after entering high school, Marcus asked Ash out, and she said yes. Over the course of the previous year, she had developed strong feelings toward Marcus. But she was frightened by them, and went to her best friend(Female) to ask about them. The feelings were explained, and afterward, she didn't feel quite so frightened. From the time they started going out, Ash began to grow more and more extroverted, and grew closer to her friends and Marcus. So, needless to say when Marcus and her fought over something that Ash thought was so trivial, she felt humiliated. She broke it off out of humiliation, and high tailed it out of San Diego, California.

Moving to Sterling, Illinois was the best thing she could have done, at least in her opinion. There she got a job in the government, and through that she met a lot of people. She met Nick by mere chance at a bar one night, and, after he flirted quite heavily with her, she gave him her number in exchange for a promise. They wouldn't date for at least a year. Which, to her surprise, he abide by. After the year was up, she was asked out by Nick, and they were happy together. He proposed shortly after the two year mark, and they got married not six months after. It was only recently that Ash has decided to introduce Nick to her friends and family, and is vacationing in San Diego.
