 "What do you say you come with me?" 

Ash froze. Every muscle in her body tensed, and she wanted so badly to just run up and punch that man in the face. It was him, the one who had betrayed her, cheated her.

Her ex-boyfriend, William. 

Ash let out a sob and ran up to him, slamming her fists onto his chest in a fearful rage. Whimpers and angered cries slipped from her lips as the man struggled against her, holding her close until she finally stopped thrashing and just sobbed into his chest. 

"Shh, please stop crying, it only hurts me to see you in this much pain," He said quietly, smoothing back Ash's curly hair. 

"W-William," She cried, fisting the material of his sweater. 

"Ah, so you do remember me? After all this time?" William let out a low chuckle. Ash scowled and shoved her hands against his chest. 

"How could I forget you," She answered coldly, her hateful eyes glaring over him with distaste. William sighed and reached out for her again, but she quickly slinked away. "Don't touch me!" She cried. 

"Wait, please! Give me a chance to explain," William pleaded. Ash huffed and bent down, grabbing her guitar and shoving it into the case before locking it inside. When she looked back up, William was staring down at her with glassy eyes. 

"There's nothing to explain," She said sharply.

"Please," He whispered, trailing his fingers over her cheek. Ash flinched away from his touch and grabbed her guitar case from the ground. Spinning around, Ash stalked down the sidewalk and tried to ignore the tears that burned in her eyes. 

She could hear foot steps from behind her, and she sighed knowing that he was following her. 

"Leave me alone, William! I never want to talk to you again," She spat from behind her shoulder, walking faster. 

"Why! Please, Ash just give me a chance!" William cried, roughly gripping Ash's arm from behind. She let out a small yelp and whipped around to see his piercing blue eyes staring down into hers. His sandy blond hair curtained over his eyes until he swiped them away in annoyance. 

She thrashed away from him. "You broke me, Will! I never forgot that pain I felt when I saw your lips slobbering all over someone else. You ever stop to wonder what that felt like? It felt like you had just torn my heart right out of my chest," Ash spat angrily. 

"I loved you," William breathed, gripping onto her arm again, making Ash wince. He slowly loosened his hold but made no move to release her. 

"Clearly you didn't love me enough," Ash growled, finally ripping her arm from him and running down the sidewalk.  She heard his pleading cries from behind her, but she ignored them. 

Squeezing her eyes shut, Ash wiped the tears from her eyes with her thumb and tried to continue walking, her pace slowing as her vision started to blur.
