Here's another Ashlynne POV!! enjoy :)

*****************************************************************************************************************

I was left walking away from Brandon's house, tears pouring down my face, make-up smeared to the point of where I look like I just got a couple water balloons thrown at my face. It was hard for me to walk home because I was in so much shock. I loved him. And he loved me... or so I thought. I can't believe that just happened. I took out my cell phone and called Jade. "Hello?" he asked.

"Jade?" I said, my voice cracking. 

"Ashlynne? What's wrong." he said immidiately.

"Br--Br--an-d-don." I let out a sigh/moan. 

"What did he do to you." Jade demanded. 

"He--he br--br-oke m-my heart." I stuttered. Great, here come the tears again. 

"What happened?" he asked, more softly now.

"We got in a fight." I said, calming down. 

"Well? what did you guys say? Details please."

I sighed. "Well, I went to go get my jacket 'cause I left it in his truck. I walk up to his door and ring the doorbell. He answered it and said,' What are you doing here, Ashlynne?' I told him about my jacket and he said he would get it. Then, Miranda came to the door and said,' Who's at the door, babe?' That ticked me off so I started yelling at him and he yelled back at me then he said that Miranda was his real girlfriend--" I was cut off by my sobs. "Then he grabbed his jacket from his car," I continued," then he threw it at me and at the same time I turned around to walk home, he turned around, went inside his house, and slammed the door."

"That little jer--!"

"Please stop," I interupted,"I've had enough yelling for one day."

"I'm sorry." he said apoligetically.

"Don't be." I sighed. "Can you come pick me up? Please?" I asked pleadingly.

"Oh, sure! Of course!" He said eagerly.

"Okay. I'm walking down Brandon's street."

" 'Kay, I'll be there in just a sec."

"Thank you, Jade. Thank you so much."

"You're so very welcome. No problem at all." I smiled a little when he said that.

" 'Kay bye."

"Bye, Ashlynne."

***************************

Jade pulled up beside me in his old beat up truck. He gets out of his truck and gives me a much needed hug. I bury my head in his chest. "I'm so sorry." he whispered to me. I stayed silent. We stayed in that hug as he walked me to the other side of his truck and opened the door for me. I climbed in and immediately turned on the heater. He walked to the other side, hopped in, and started driving away. The street lights started to turn on, since it was getting dark. They were dull and weary... kind of like how I'm feeling right now. When we pulled into my drive way and Jade took the key out of the ignition, we sat there and stared each other for a little while. The only communication we had was from reading each other's eyes. "I'd better get going." I said disapointedly. 

"Yea, okay." he said hesitantly. 

"Bye. I love you." I said, not realizing I had said it. Jade stared at me in shock. That was when I finally realized what I had said. "Oh shoot. Sorry. I guess I'm just used to saying it all the time..." Tears started to dwell in my eyes. 

"That's okay. I love you too." Jade said smiling. I managed a sad smile and even a bit of a laugh. 

"You're an amazing friend, Jade." I said softly.

"As are you. Now you better get inside before your mom flips out." he said.

"Yeah, that wouldn't be too good now would it?" I laughed. "Night, Jade." I continued.

"Night, Ashlynne."

************************************

The next day at school was... well, pretty much terrible. I saw Brandon and hastly walked by him. I saw him wave out of the corner of my eye, but I just ignored him. A few seconds after I past him, he laughed at how I was ignoring him. I saw Jade and ran up to him and gave him a huge hug. I then heard someone yell,"Yo, Jade. You wanna stop glaring at me there buddy?" Was that Brandon? I soon find my self pulled out of Jade's arms and thrown to the side. When I look over at Jade, Brandon is up in his face. I hear Jade say,"It's a free country, so I'll glare at you if I want." Wow, nice come back Jade I thought to myself while rolling my eyes and smiling. I see Brandon mouth something to Jade, but I can't hear. Next thing I know they're shoving each other. Oh crap I thought to myself. Then, all of a sudden, Jade throws Brandon to the ground and starts punching him. Brandon then gets Jade under him and starts beating the crap out of him. I run up behind Brandon and try to get him off. I see him turn around and then I see a fist coming towards my face. I didn't even have time to shield myself. After he punches me, I stagger backwards, then fall and hit my head really hard on the lockers, then the floor. 

************************************

"Ashlynne? Ashlynne, honey? Can you hear me?" 

My vision soon clears and I see myself in the hospital. My family and Jade are standing around me. "Where am I?" I ask in a deep, scratchy voice. 

"You're in the hospital, baby." my mom answers. "You have a broken nose and a concussion." she continued. 

"That's... that's just great." I said sarcastically.

"Well, at least you can tell people that you have a battle wound." my dad said, winking at me. I laugh and smile as say,"I love you daddy."

"I love you too, sweetie." he says with a smile.

"I shouldn't have ticked him off... I'm so sorry Ashlynne." Jade says sympathetically.

"Jade, it's okay. Brandon just has a really bad temper..." I said.

"No, it's not. It got you hurt. And yeah, obviously." Jade said, starting to get mad. 

"Hey, hey. Calm down. It's okay. What's done is done. There's no going back now." I say. 

"Hey guys, do you think you could give me and Ashlynne a few minutes alone?"Jade asked my family. My parents exchanged a glance and said in unison,"Sure." 

"Whatever."  My brother said.

When they all left the room, Jade came and sat on the edge of my hard bed, "Hey." He said nervously.

"Haha hi?" I said with a smile trying to break the tension.

"Umm, well, I was...Uh...." He ran his finger through his hair and looked around nervosly, " well.....wantingto....uh....tell you something?" Ok what was up with him? 

"okay?" I said confused.

"So...um...well...I really...uh..." Loosing my patients I bark out saying, "You really what!?"

"Well I- really- really- like you." He said then looked away. I smiled really wide, "I really like you, too." He turned back around and his eyes were beaming. Then he saw the way I looked, and smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen on his face, it literally made my heart melt. Then his smile and beaming eyes faded. "No, Ashlynne. Not like that. More than that, like, I like you, a LOT." Realization hit. "Oh." Was all I could say.

"Ya..." He looked down with sadness.

"What's wrong?" I asked with concern.

"Well you don't like me like that do you?" I bit my lip and looked down, do I like him that way? "I'm not sure...give me awhile to decide."

He nodded sadly,"Okay."
