Help Me Forget

“He then dragged my hand as we were about to go to the dark. I didn’t know why he needed to talk to me eagerly. I was about to complain why he had to drag me but was interrupted by him cupping my face with his hands.

As minutes passed, he kept on running his hand through his hair nervously. He then spoke “Uh- Um- Hals… Uhm- I have s-something to tel-l you…”

I was getting impatient, so I snapped “What is it Ash?! I was talking to someone! Why did you have to interrupt me?” I wasn’t really an impatient person but he, Ash Davis, my best friend, has been doing this for the pass week.

He ran his hands through his face and sat down. He looked up at me nervously. Seeing him like this made me really worried. “Uhm Hals… I know t-that we are still young and we’re friends but… I really like you. I really do. I might be even in love with you. I don’t know”

                I gasped audibly. I was beyond shocked. Instead of replying like a normal person would do, I just stood there, staring at this really amazing person who just confessed that he likes me. ME? Hailey, plain old ordinary, Hailey?

                I was so shocked and that’s the understatement of the century. I couldn’t anything so I just went up to him and hugged him tightly”

                As I open my eyes, I realized that I was dreaming. I smiled to myself as I recalled the confession of Ash. It has been nearly 2 years since he has confessed and on that very day we also got together. We also fight a lot because of our different personalities but we still love each other.

                When I was done taking a shower and picking my outfit, I went out to go my friend’s house since Ashand I were fighting again.

As I was about to knock on Sam’s door, my friend, it suddenly open and exposed a very lively girl. She smiled when she saw me and said “Hey Hal! It’s nice to see you! How have you been?”

“Ash and I are fighting again” I said sadly which cause her to frown.

“What? Why?”

“I don’t know what’s up with him. I think he’s trying to avoid me and when I asked him what’s wrong and he just snaps at me” My eyes watered when I said those things.

When Sam saw my unshed tears she opened her arms for me to hug me. “Hey, hey, don’t cry! You’ll get through this. Maybe he just had a problem with his family” You see his family doesn’t really like me. I really don’t know why, ever since Ash and I went out when I was thirteen and he was fifteen, they never accepted me.

When we were done talking about our problems, I went home walking. As my house came to my view,  I got my keys from my bag.

“Hals” A voice said that made me jump.

When I saw who that was I said dramatically putting my hand over my heart “Oh god! You scared me, Ash! What are you doing here?”

When I said those words his face suddenly turns cold but his eyes looked like he was in pain “Uh Hals. We should talk”

I look at him nervously “Oh okay. I just put my things inside my house first then we can talk.”

 He nodded and took a step back as I went inside my house and place my things in my living room. When I went out, I saw him sitting in a bench across my house. I slowly walk up to him and every step I take my heart seems to beat faster.

“Hey Ash, So, what do you what to talk about?” He pats the space next to him, telling me to sit next to him. As I sat down, he looks at me and I can see him trying to look cold but failed miserably. His eyes show me that he was in pain and I really didn’t understand why.

“Uh Trish, I think we shoul-d…” he stutters while looking at me nervously which made me really worried.

“You think we should, what?”

“I think we should break up. I mean, we have been fighting all the time lately and well, I don’t know what we should do.” As he said this I can see him that he’s in pain.

I gulp and said “Oh. Okay. We can do that” I was trying to sound calm but inside I was heartbroken. What have I done? Did I do something wrong?

“I’m going to go on a vacation with my family, okay? And when I get back I hope we can still be best friends like before.” I couldn’t trust my voice because I know when I try to speak it will break, so, I just nod. I can feel my eyes water again.

I took a deep breath and open my arms and hug him tightly. Few minutes have passed then I said “Okay. Go have fun with your family and think about what you think is right.”

I kissed his cheeks lightly then got up walking towards my house sobbing.
