Hey... sorry about tonight. Is everything alright at your end?

I read and reread Ashton's text before deciding to answer it.

No, absolutely not. It's not your fault, though.

I couldn't help but smile when my phone started ringing. Ashton, as expected.

"Hey," I said softly into the phone.

"What's wrong?"

"Harry... Ashton, he broke up with me. And even if we didn't, you know, he would've done it anyway," I sobbed.

"Oh Bella," Ashton said, attempting to comfort me.

"Why does it hurt so much?"

"I don't know."

"He got over it so fast," I said, sniffling. 

"He doesn't know what he's missing. He was a very lucky guy."

"Thanks for being a friend, Ash," I said softly.

There was a moment of silence on the other end. "You're welcome."

"A lot happened today, between us. I'm sorry, Ashton, but I don't think I'm ready," I said honestly.

Silence. Again.

"I mean, I understand everything that you must be going through-"

"Okay," he said, cutting me off.

"Ashton, I'm serious. I get that it might be awkward-"

"I understand, Bella."

Well. "Can I call you tomorrow? Around this time?"

"Sure, Bel. Of course."

"Thanks again. I should probably get to bed," I said, yawning.

"Okay. And Bella? I could get our publicist to cover up the whole situation," Ashton offered.

"Hm... maybe tomorrow. Right now, I just want to sleep." And forget.   

"Good night," Ashton whispered softly.

"Good night." The other line went dead, and I found myself drifting off to sleep.

I had a lot to fix tomorrow, but now, I could just dream on.

Maybe my dreams could become reality.
