Murdered by My Boyfriend Page #3

Synopsis: At a party teen-ager Ashley meets the older Reece, whom she finds handsome and charming with the ability to make her feel special. They start dating and, whilst it is apparent that he is pathologically jealous and possessive, the naïve young girl initially finds it reassuring that he cares for her alone. However when she is pregnant he viciously hits out at her, later apologizing in floods of tears and begging forgiveness. Ashley assumes that it was her fault for antagonizing him but his violence continues and he becomes ever more controlling. She decides to leave him but he is not the sort of boy to take rejection lightly and tragedy results.

I'm a good mum.

You know? She doesn't see anything.

It's not... Come on, Ash.

She's in the house.

I know how it looks.

I know how it looks, but...

it's not like that.

I mean, most of the time,

I'm starting it.

I wind him up. I hit him, too.

Sorry, no.

You can come and stay with me.

Please.

I'll look after you.

I will.

Ah, Jasmine, look at them.

They are so beautiful, aren't they?

Look at that.

What's this one here?

What's this one here?

Is that a crumb? Is that a crumb?

I love you so much.

But I won't be able to stand it

if you stay.

Sabrina?

I'm so sorry.

Bye, Sabrina.

Please, leave him, Ashley.

Who's Kim?

It doesn't matter.

Yeah, it does.

I want to know who she is right now.

Well, she's no-one, all right?

If she's nobody, then why are you

f***ing her?

You're sick, you know that?

I'm sick?

I'm getting so tired of this sh*t.

Don't change the subject.

I do everything for you.

That's not what I'm talking about.

I babysit all the time

so you can go out.

It's not baby-sitting if it's your

own daughter.

Do I babysit Jas so you can go out?

Yes or no?

I'm not talking about...

YES OR NO?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Look, sit down.

Baby, sit down.

Do I give you money?

Ash, do I give you money, yes or no?

Yeah.

I buy you things.

I drive you around, I treat you

like a princess.

And what... what do you do?

You... you accuse me.

You accuse me!

This could have been anything...

..anything and how do you think that

makes me feel?

You think that makes me feel good?

Cos it don't make me feel good.

I don't understand...

why you keep doing this to me.

And I don't understand why you keep

doing it to yourself.

'Jones, I love you.'

'Ashley, I love you.

'Yeah?'

I love you.

You know that.

I'm sorry.

Is this about your weight?

Look, cos if it's making you that

insecure...

..then you should really do

something about it.

Yeah?

I love you.

Yeah, it's nice cos it's not like

quite...

like proper going out but...

Yeah, but it's still, you've got...

Ashley!

Mate!

F*** off, man. All right.

All right. Yes, police.

Please. No. It's my business! Had

nothing to do with you.

Please, no! It's got nothing to do

with you.

I told you, didn't I? Huh? What

did I tell you?

Huh? What did I tell you? Put

your f***ing hands down.

Huh? I told you, didn't I?

Stay out of my business.

You stay out of my business!

Nothing. To do. With you!

Talk to the police, you are

f***ing dead.

He's leaving the shop now.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, Ashley.

Ash? She's bleeding really badly.

No, no, she's still breathing,

Are you OK, Ashley?

Please, just tell them to hurry.

It's over.

Ashley? It's f***ing over.

It's OK. It's OK.

It's f***ing over.

It's OK, he's gone. It's OK.

Please, don't take him back this

time, Ash.

You know he's never going to change.

I know.

It's just sad

cos I always wanted all my babies

to have the same daddy.

You know what I mean?

He's a good dad to Jasmine.

Look at you, Ash.

A good dad would not do that.

You're so beautiful, Ashley.

You could have someone who really,

really loved you and Jas.

Do you think so?

Yeah. Really, really.

Reece, what?

'Wait, don't hang up. I just want

to talk.'

Where are you? 'In town.

'Look, I want to speak about

Jasmine.'

She's fine. 'I miss her.

'I miss you.

'It's been ages.

'Look, I know... I know we're not

together...

'but can't we spend time together

with Jasmine...

'for her?'

I don't know.

'Look, think of Jas. She needs her

dad, too.

'I know... I know you want space.

'Ash?

'Ash, can you at least answer me?

'Ashley?'

Ken's Clothing?

Hello?

Hello?

Stop calling, all right. I'm turning

it off.

Open the door! I want to see my

daughter.

JASMINE YELLS:

He's still here. Yeah, he's not gone.

Baby, please... Jasmine... can you

just go back to bed.

Daddy wants to come in and see you.

Go to bed, come on.

I want to see my... Jasmine. Jas.

Hey, is that you, baby?

Is that you, baby? Daddy wants to

come in and see you.

Jasmine! Jas, is that you, baby?

Can you not hear him at the door?

Please!

I need someone to come here now.

Open the door.

Right, I just want to...

Have you called the police on me?

You called the police on me, you

B*TCH!

You're a b*tch, Ashley.

You hear me?

Which one? This one as well?

Yeah! Both!

Come on, girls, hurry up. Get your

asses out here!

You should call Jamie?

What?

Yeah, why not?

He's been into you since, like,

for ever.

I'd bet he'd come tonight if you

asked him.

I can't. I can't.

Lauren! What are you doing?

Texting him.

Right, give me that. I'll do it

myself.

Right. OK.

Sh! Sh! Shut up!

When we get back we should go out

and watch a film or something.

Don't worry. I just...

It's only a film.

Ash?

You know I like you,

but Reece won't let this happen,

will he?

But we're not together any more.

How many times has he phoned you

today?

I saw your phone. He still thinks

you're together.

Yeah, but it's my life.

It's not up to him.

I'm sorry.

Hey, I bought Jas some trainers.

Just leave them on the step.

No, I'm not going to leave them

there cos they cost 60 quid.

Look, open the door, yeah?

I got something to tell you.

Look, I've started anger management

classes.

I...

I want to change, Ash,

and I want to be better...

..for you and Jas.

Is this because you met someone

else?

Just f*** off!

F***ing leave me alone! Just f***

off!

Look, please.

Baby.

I just... I just want to talk to

you.

I know I've hurt you.

I love you, Jones.

I can't live without you.

I'm never going to let you go.

Yeah? You know that, don't you,

baby?

Cos we belong together.

Lauren, he's outside again.

'Don't open the door, Ash.

Don't listen to him.'

Just open the door. 'Ashley, call

the police.'

Open the door!

'Ash, call the police.'

Please, I... I didn't mean to shout.

'Ash, you still there, babe?'

I didn't mean to shout, please.

'Ashley, talk to me.

'Ashley, what is happening? Ashley?'

I don't want to keep doing this.

I just want to talk to you.

And I know you want to talk to me.

Please, I know you want to talk to

me.

Ash, come on. Come on, Ash.

Ash, come on.

Open the door, please.

Come on.

Ash, open the door.

I'm NEVER going to let you go.

'How many times could I tell him

to go?

'How many times could I call

the police?

'How many times would I have to give

up exhausted and let him back in?

'With every punch, every bruise,

every word,

'he destroyed the last thing

I held on to...'

..'Hope.

'And without hope

'I was nothing.

'He made me nothing.'

We're never going to find what

we've got with anyone else.

You know that, don't you, baby?

We're together now.

That will never change cos it was

meant to be.

You're going to be my wife.

I love you, Jones.

I love you, Ash.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

Let's start afresh, Ash.

Yeah, a clean slate.

So, has there been anyone?

No.

Are you sure?

We were on a break.

Yeah.

What about when you went to
