Chapter 5: An Unforgiveable Mistake

It has been a few weeks now since Asher broke up with Trisha, and he was having a hard time getting over the regret of seeing her heartbroken.

Asher was walking through with mall with a depressed look on his face as he walked out of work for his lunch break.

"See you later, Asher!" Ashley called out as she headed opposite him to the Chinese food place in the mall.

"Yeah, see you after the break," Asher sighed as he slightly waved back and continued on his way.

Asher quickly grabbed some lunch from the sushi bar and was going to find a spot to eat his lunch as he sat at one of the empty spots near the lemonade stand.

He nodded a greeting to Wyatt, and Catlin Ashe sat on down.

"I need a lemon whip fast," Jen said, walking over to the table while looking closely at her cell phone.

"I'm on it," Catlin said, getting up from the table.

"Man, if I'm late, I'm toast!" Jen exclaimed.

"Hey guys, what's up," Nikki greeted with a wave walking towards the table.

"Hi, Nikki!" Catlin greeted back.

"Anyway, what's with you?" Nikki asked, pointing at Jen.

"I'm just a little tense about work," Jen replied.

"Coach kicking your butt again?" Jude questioned, walking by Jen.

"He like this psycho prison guard. I just got off probation, and if I'm late, I go right back on."

"But you are the best worker ever," Catlin commented.

"Yeah, like, really," Nikki mocked, making Asher smile faintly.

'Nikki's personality reminds me a bit about Trisha's before she changed, she comes off cold, but you can see she has a kind heart, and both are funny.'

"I'm just trying-"

Nikki cut Catlin off, holding up her hand as a way of telling her to stop talking, making Catlin gasp.

"Hey, rich boy, what up with you?" Nikki questioned, looking over at Asher, who everyone noticed was just starting at his sushi.

"Hm," Asher hummed, snapping out of his thoughts about Trisha as he heard Nikki's voice and saw her and the others looking at him.

"Rich boy, you have been staring at your lunch since I got here and might not know you well enough, but I can tell your expression says you are upset about something," Nikki stated.

"Nothing, just made an unforgivable mistake in my life," He replied, focusing back on his lunch.

"Um, alright," Wyatt commented, looking at Asher confused."So what were you are probation for anyway?" He asked, looking at Jen.

"I folded some sweatshirts instead of hanging them on the rack," Jen explained while moving her hands around.

"And you didn't get jail time?" Wyatt questioned in a sarcastic tone.

Asher focused on his sushi as the others talkedamogost themselves, trying to get Trisha's sad face out of his head.

'I never wanted to hurt her. I just couldn't deal with her behavior anymore. I still care about her. I should just have told her I wouldn't say I liked it and give her a chance to change.' He thought as his eyes continued staring at the plate on his tray.

"Here, try this," Catlin said, putting a lid on the cup and heading it to Jen.

Jen took it and started to drink some of it and coughed as she sputtered out the drink from the awful taste."This is horrible!" She exclaimed, pointing at the cup in her hand.
