It had been 2 weeks since the breakup, and I felt way better.

I cut off everything with anyone associated with Aidan, and I took time to reevaluate.

But I forgot to do the most important thing.

Block the son of a gun.

Aidan😬

A.G- can we talk?

I sighed, before texting him back.

A.J- what is there to talk about? besides the fact that you lied to me and to Tiler? i'm done with you and your bullshit, Aidan. you don't deserve me. hell, you don't deserve her. so until you can see what you did wrong and sincerely have something to say to me as a man, I'm done. don't text me.

I blocked and deleted his number, before running downstairs.

I went to go play with the dogs for a little, until I went to find my parents.

"Hey mom, hey dad.", I said, seeing them come back from a walk with the girls.

"Hey babe. We were gonna wait for you, but you were fast asleep. What time did you go to bed?", mom asked.

"Around 2:30. I had to respond to emails and take some time for myself.", I replied.

"Awesome. So how do you feel today?"

"Eh, better. He texted me.", I sighed, sitting down on the couch.

"I thought you blocked him?", dad asked.

"I thought so too, but I guess I forgot. But, I deleted his number."

"That's my girl.", dad smiled, ruffling my hair.

"I'm really proud of you, Ley. Not of the fact that you beat up a girl, but the fact that you're standing up for yourself. That's maturity.", mom said.

"Thanks mom.", I smiled, as she kissed my forehead, walking into the kitchen.

We sat in silence for a while, until I decided to bring up something I've been meaning to do.

"Hey dad?", I asked.

"Yeah?", he replied.

"Could you take me to Tiler's place? She dm'ed me on Instagram and I have her address.", I said.

"Sure. Where is she?", dad shrugged, grabbing his keys.

"She lives in the city, but she's like 45 minutes from here."

"Alright then. Dani, you coming?", dad asked mom.

"Sure. Just let me change Tina really quick and then we can go.", she replied, carrying Valentina to the room.

We got in the car 15 minutes later, before pulling up at Tiler's house.

"Oh hey, Ashley. Come on in.", she said, opening the door.

It reminded me of Ryley and Alaina's house.

Cozy, welcoming, warm.

"Hi Tiler. How do you feel?", I asked.

"Eh, I'll be fine. Just a few scratches and bruises. My hair's fine, just had to be adjusted a little.", she replied, handing me a bottle of water.

I thanked her, taking a sip.

"Listen, I'm really sorry. I overreacted. It's just I was hurt.", I said.

"Don't apologize for feeling the way you did. I don't blame you, I was kinda being an ass too. I'd never try to split up you and Aidan, you guys were so cute together. I'm new, and he just made me feel special, y'know?", she replied, making me nod.

"Understandable. Moving here wasn't easy, trust me. He made me feel special too. But he's not worth our time, and I'm hoping we can move on from this. Maybe even become friends?", I asked.

"Of course, Ashley. I know underneath all of that, you're a genuine person. And I'm willing to give you another chance.", she smiled.

I hugged her, and we just sat there.

Embracing each other for what felt like forever.

"Thanks for being so understanding, Tiler.", I smiled, getting up to leave.

"Don't mention it. Text you tonight?", she asked.

"Why not. I'll send you my number.", I replied, walking out, as she hugged me again.

I waved at her before getting in the car.

"Seems like it went well.", dad said, driving out of the driveway.

"I made a new friend, I'd guess so.", I replied, feeling like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.

Thanks, Tiler.
