It's been almost two months since Ashton broke it off with me and I honestly think he's moving on and it hurts because I can't call him mine anymore. Everything's gotten worse. I've stopped eating, started cutting. I think what's worse is that Ashton and I had a one night stand a few weeks ago and he doesn't remember and I've been terrified of everything.

"Danielle," I hum and look over at my foster mum. "Someone's here for you."

I frown and get up off my bed. My arms ache from all the cutting. I sigh as I walk into the living room and towards the door. I see him leaning against the pillar on the porch. I blink, trying to figure out why he's here. I recently found out that I'm able to graduate early and I get to start college next semester and that's only two months away, but I still have to hear back from the college's I've applied to.

"Is there a reason as to why you're here?" I ask him. He gives me a small smiles, scratching the back of his head.

"Can we talk? Please," I take my lower lip in between my teeth and nod a bit. I slip my shoes on, since we have to take our shoes off at the door and I close the door behind me as I walk out. It was quiet for a while neither of us saying anything for a while.

We walk inside of an ice cream parlor and I take a seat as Ashton orders some ice cream. I see a text message from someone, but decide to answer it later. He comes back with two ice creams. A vanilla one and a chocolate one. "Still you're favourite right?" He smiles at me and I nod my head taking the ice cream, not wanting it to go to waste. "What have you been doing these past few weeks?"

"Nothing," I tell him. "Just been waiting for those college letters to come back in."

"Pretty excited huh? Get to go to college next year after you graduate,"

I nod my head. "I actually leave at the end of this year," I tell him. It's now or never Danielle, now or never. He looks over at me, frowning. "I've got enough credits, so they're allowing me to graduate at the end of this year. I'm just waiting to hear back from colleges in the states and I choose one from there."

"So you're just going to leave? Like that— does anybody else know?"

"Of course everyone else knows. Why wouldn't I tell them. They all think it's a great opportunity for me—"

"And... and you didn't care to tell me this?" Ashton asks, hurt laced in there and this is exactly why I didn't want to tell him because he'd try to make me stay and I just... I don't want that.

I sigh, looking down at my lap. "I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid of what your reaction would be Ashton," I say, looking up at him, his eyes a bit glossy.

Ashton looks out the window, trying not to cry. He lets out a shaky breathe, trying to control the tears from coming. "Ashton please try to understand," I whisper because I know that I'm about to cry too. "I leave in two months and I don't want anything holding me back from leaving— I... you broke up with because you couldn't put up with me any longer and I understand that.... Maybe be leaving is the best thing for us. It seemed like we weren't working out either way—"

"I can't let you go Dani," he turns around with red eyes and my heart breaks at the sight and it makes me not want to leave, but I have to. I have to let go.

I grab his hands, not crying about the ice cream anymore. I look into his glossy hazel green irises. He sniffs, the tears still falling. "I want— need you to forget about me. I... I'm not the right candidate to be your girlfriend. You need someone who won't weight down Ashton and that's what I'm doing. You seem to have so much fun when I'm not weighting you down," I tell him, being honest.

He shakes his head, closing his beautiful eyes. "I... I can't watch you leave," he breathes out opening his eyes again. He squeezes my hands, shaking his head. "I can't watch you leave knowing that I've caused all your depression. I can't watch you leave knowing that I ran you out of here— don't go."

I bite lip, looking out the window. "Ashton I have too," I plead him. He looks over at me.

"Is this what you really want?" Is it? Do I want Ashton to forget me. I mean yeah, we can always work it out, but if I go away to the states to go study, would we be able to handle the long distance.

I sigh. "Yeah. Maybe in the future when we're both done with college, we can try again, but if you fall in love with another girl then that's okay too," I tell him, my eyes watering a bit of the simple thought of Ashton falling in love with another girl.

Ashton nods his head. I wait for him to say something, but it's quiet for a few minutes. "I should get you home," he mumbles, getting out of the booth and I sigh because this is going to be awkward for us. I grab the unfinished ice cream and throw it away, Ashton keeping his even though it was a bit melted.

I had this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach, but chose to ignore it. I could smell the food coming from the near by places and I was hungry, but I couldn't. I felt something vile coming up my throat and I lean over, throwing up.

I feel Ashton grab my hair as I throw up even more, just clear stuff and a bit of colourful stuff here and there. I continue to throw up, coughing at the end. I breathe, my breathe tasting disgust.

"Are you okay?" I shake my head, puking a bit more and I cry out. Once I feel like I'm finished, I feel a bit light headed, I sway a bit and Ashton looks at me. "Dani you okay?"

Ashton's voice being distorted and I feel my eyes roll to the back of my head, my knees bucking as I fall.
