I shut my phone screen off before dropping it in the toilet and walking out of the bathroom and into the packed hallway. If that bullshit was what I was going to open my phone to, then I didn't need one.
"Congrats dude," some random guy said as I descended the stairs of wherever the fuck this party was at. I was over it, "cheers?"
Without thinking I downed the cup he gave me. It's kind of ironic that I was washing away regret with more regret. If she could do exactly what I was worried about than I could do exactly what she was worried about. Even if it meant throwing my life away. Whatever, 6 months of sobriety down the drain.

"Why the fuck are you even here?" I asked getting closer to Cassie.
"Andy has a right to know what his girlfriend is doing," She shrugged innocently before narrowing her eyes and looking Remington up and down, "or who she is doing."
"Well Andy and I are done so he didn't need to know shit. All you're doing is hurting him." I said before storming away.
Why the fuck is she here anyway?
If wrong place, right time was a person it'd be Cassie. Now, if pain in the ass was a person...well that would also be Cassie.
"Ash wait," Remington shouted from the other side of the wave of bodies between us, "hold on."
He grabbed my wrist to stop me from going further. Andy tried to do that when I left the kitchen but I didn't let him.
Fuck.
"Rem," I looked him in the eyes and tried not to cry. I finally recognized the clouded look in his eyes and, I couldn't get over the fact that they were brown and not blue. I couldn't get over the fact that I didn't have to look up as high and that I didn't feel weak in the knees, "I just need a minute ok?"
~15 minutes earlier~
"Hey what's going on Ash?" Remington said sitting down next to me on the couch and, pulling me into an embrace.
"I think Andy and I just broke up." I sobbed into his shoulder as he rocked us back and forth.
"Shit, I'm so sorry," He sighed, pulling back and wiping a few of my tears, "what happened?"
I explained our argument and he took me in for another hug before kissing my forehead.
"I'm sorry," He lulled, "I'm so so sorry. I hate seeing you hurt like this."
I pulled back and just stared in his eyes in a minute before standing up.
"Where are you going?" Remington questioned getting up and following me a couple steps before we both came to a halt. "To the bathroom."
I was so confused right now, Remington had always been one of my closest friends, since the moment we met but, the last few days have felt different.
He turned me around by the shoulders and just looked at me before leaning in closer, "can I try something that might ruin everything?"
I knew what he meant and I was almost positive I knew how it would end but, for some reason I nodded anyhow. My head had barely finished bobbing up and down before he pulled me in for a kiss. It was intense and, there was definitely something there -more than I expected there to be- but, it wasn't as strong as the one Andy had given me just hours prior.
I pulled back, and by the look on his face, Remington was thinking exactly what I was.
"Did you feel the flash too or?"
I nodded my head before looking around and seeing a familiar face standing across from us.
"Fucking great." I muttered to myself.
"Listen Ashton-"
I held my hand up before walking towards Cassie.
~present~
"I'm sorry," Remington rushed out, "I couldn't tell if I had feelings or if it was just platonic."
"and which one is it?"
"It's just platonic," He shrugged sadly, "I don't know what I was thinking to be honest. I guess I was just a little lonely. I mean everyone has someone but me."
I gave Remington a sympathetic smile before pulling him in for a hug, "you know you'll find someone who is more than perfect for you."
He gave me a small smile, "you always know how to make people feel better, I don't know what we'd do without you."
He gave me another hug and rested his chin on my head.
"I'm not trying to make you feel better," I smiled sadly, reminiscing a bit, "she'll come to you at the right time. Probably when you're not even looking."
I pulled back and looked him in the eyes before speaking up.
