Me and Ashley have been hanging out more for the past three months. Shes one of my best friends now. A few days ago I introduced her to the Lynches.

I'm also two months clean. I'm actually really proud of myself. I haven't told Ashley though. I don't think she would understand. She knows I'm depressed, but I can't bring myself to tell her the truth. She's asked a few times, and I lied. Its really easy to lie over a text. Anyway, I'm trying not to dwell too much on the past. I've been truly happy lately and I want it to stay that way.

Riker invited me over to play volleyball at his house today. "Can I invite Ashley?" I asked. He said sure.

Once me and Ashley arrived, the game began. It was me, Ashley, Riker, and Rydel against Rocky, Ross, and their little brother Ryland. Out team won, 25-15! "that's not fair!" Ross complained. "We have Ryland on our team!"
"So what, Ross? I'm good at volleyball!" Ryland argued. I laughed. I was glad I didn't have any siblings. I was also glad that I had such great friends.

As me and Ashley were leaving, Riker told me he had something special planned for our one year anniversary tomorrow. I couldn't wait.
