AHSTRAYS POV
i woke up to a knock on the door, i groaned rolling over and picking my phone up. i checked it realizing i had a bunch of missed calls and texts
livvy
hey wyd
2:34 am
livvy

2:36 am
livvy
im omw over rn
2:57 am
i checked the time and it was 3:12 am
"this bitch" i sighed getting out of bed and following the noise of pounding on my front door.
when i opened the door i was met with a crying livvy
"what the fuck do you want olivia" i said rubbing my eyes
"can you please open the door ash" she cried
"i can't do that anymore olivia" i sighed
"please ash i need you" she spoke, her voice was shaky and her eyes were red and puffy, it really sucks to turn her away like this.
"we don't work liv, we're toxic, i can't keep hurting you like this" i spoke
"no ash please don't do this" she cried as i shut the door
she continued to bang on it, as i slid down the wall listening to her yell for me
"you always fucking do this ash" she cried "you always turn me away, you always hurt me, i need you"
me and livvy had been together for about two years.
we started dating when we were 15, she got caught up in some deals over the years. i began to feel as if she wasn't safe with me anymore to i broke it off.
after our two year relationship neither of us could seem to stay away, we're now 19 and at least once a week one of us has to see each other.
not this time though, we can't keep doing this it's not good for her.
i sat there for about 3 hours the sun was shining through the curtains, my heart was completely torn to shreds. she was the only person i ever cared about aside from fezco and my grandma.
leaving hers gonna be the hardest thing i've ever had to do.

5 YEARS LATER
(they're now 24)
LIVVYS POV
i haven't talked to ashtray since that night, honestly he hasent crossed my mind in a while. i left after that night, no trace of me anywhere in east highland.
once i finally moved on from ashtray my life had become wonderful.
i got my GED and got a job, it may not be the best job but i certainly make lots of tips and my regulars love me.
being a stripper is easy you make fast cash and once you become known well enough everyone loves you.
i started stripping when i moved to los angeles, i know it's a cliche to live in LA but once i left east highland that's where i found myself.
i never thought id go back home, it never crossed my mind. that's the last place id ever wanna be.
until i get a text from maddie, she had told me she was pregnant and she wanted me to be at her baby shower.
maddie and i have been friends for forever, we met at a party because ashtray was selling her some molly.
maybe it wouldn't be too bad for me to go home for a week.
