the tape.

14)

Ashley and bryce had been fighting for days, this one however was in the school parking lot.

"fuck you bryce!" Ashley shouted as she picked up her bag. "your fucking high, go home" she said as she started to walk off.

"fuck you Ashley" he shouted as he walked to the other school entrance, people crowded the windows as the two argued. They were late so as Ashley walked in she saw the one and only zach dempsy to her rescue.

"go away zach" she said very bluntly as she walked in and down the corridors. She watched bryce walk into their chemistry class as she stormed in after him. This time she sat next to monty instead of in her normal seat next to bryce.
"did he not get hard" monty joked. "fuck off" she said as she nudged him with her elbow.

They would be sat in the back of chemistry as Ashley thought over their fight. Why it happened, why bryce felt the need to hurt her. But why she also felt the need to hurt him. Justin foley walked into the room shortly after.

"the man of the fucking hour" bryce laughed slightly as he looked at Justin. Justin hadn't been around for a while since what he said to Jessica. Ashley just stood up and grabbed Justin's arm as she walked away with him, bryce following after as well as monty.

"does anyone else want to leave my class" the professor half joked as he continued to teach the rest of class. Ashley dragged Justin to the football feild as bryce and monty followed after, bryce looking as if he practically wanted to hunt Justin down. They all came to a stop by the bleachers, Ashley looked up at a very angry bryce. "what the fuck is going on" monty asked.

"ask ash, or rather ask Justin" bryce spat. "I admit what I did was worse but this was two years ago I don't understand why your so upset about it now." Ashley said to bryce, "it hurts Ashley, it fucking hurts because you fucked Justin. My best friend. Weather it was years ago or not" bryce almost shouted.
"Well I can't exactly take it back can I!" Ashley almost shouted back at him, keeping her distance from the 3 boys.

"it was a long time ago bryce" Justin said, keeping his calm. "this isn't even about me and Justin, it about me and you bryce." Ashley said as she looked at her lover. "just because I had sex with Justin doesn't mean you hadn't had sex with plenty of other girls at the start of our relationship. Justin is only one of a few. I am one of many on your list" Ashley said, looking up at him.

Monty looked at the three of us as somehow Jessica was stood scroll the football feild as she walked towards our argument. "so your still a slut then" Ashley heard from behind her as she turned to see Jessica. "you were having sex with my boyfriend?" Jessica added on. "you were having sex with my boyfriend!" Ashley said.

"that was before he raped me" Jessica said. "jess that is all you seem to talk about. You wear it on your head like a fucking crown, it happened to me too. And you seem to forget that at whatever inconvenience." Ashley said as she whispered towards the end. She stood and looked at them all around her.

"like I told you ash, you can get justice. You just need to stop hiding behind your rapist and come forward. He can't protect you as much as he hurt you." Jessica said. "your so upset about it yet your stood three feet away from the man who raped you. Your restraining order files until court, tomorrow." monty said as he backed Ashley.

Ashley shuffles back as she had her back against bryce's chest. She had forgotten about court tomorrow, she testified tomorrow along side many others, familiar faces she knew.
This wasn't only hannah's trial anymore. This was Jessica's trial. This was Ashley's trial. This was chloe's trial. This was bryce's trial.
