The last week has been absolute hell. Not only have I had to deal with Ash but I have also had to deal with his bestie Hunter. I thought Ash was annoying at sometimes but when he is with Hunter I just want to kill them both. It started when we just moved in. Not only was Hunter constantly hitting on me but Ash was actually encouraging him! How do I know this? In the past several days Hunter has tried every pickup line known to man and Ash keeps telling him that I'm just upset with him and that it's not because I don't like Hunter. I'm at the point of breaking.
Besides that I have been hibernating in my room to get some space. Hunter was nice, good looking, funny, but so annoying! He will never leave me alone and if I let him hang out with me he is always trying to be closer, or try to touch my arms or cheek. I have slapped him multiple times but I think I'm just slapping more stupidity into him because his determination has only increased. Today, I have had enough. I was pulling the last card I had up my sleeve. I called Valentina.
As much as I didn't want to ask her help I was desperate. I dialed her number and waited as the phone rang. When she answered and u told her about my problem it all came out. I told her about Daniel, I told her about Gregory, I told her about the marriage, and I told her about all my feelings. When I finished I waited for her to add in a smart comment. Something that would help but insult me in the same time. Something other than what she actually said.
"Okay, I'll help. Give the phone to him."
There was no mocking tone in her voice. There was no sarcasm. There was only sincerity and sympathy. I called Gregory , or rather Hunter in this matter, over to my room. He came bounding over with happiness until I handed him the phone. He took it with hesitation and then muttered a confused hello. The phone speakers roared as Valentina yelled into the phone. It was not a short scolding either but it took thirty minutes until she calmed down. Hunter took the scolding and when he was done he handed it to Daniel, or rather Ash now, and they began to talk. He walked outside to talk to her so I couldn't hear much of the conversation except when Ash would raise his voice.
I sat in my chair and sighed. Hunter peeked his head around the door frame and I let him in. He sat down on the the edge of the bed and stared down at his hands in shame. He started to mess with his fingers as he sat in silence. I waited for a long time until he finally looked up at me and sighed.
"Shadow, I want to say I'm sorry. Ash was telling me to keep going and you obviously didn't want me to. I should have just stopped. Valentina said you wanted me to leave. I will if that's what you want but I just wanted to say I'm sorry."
I looked at him with sharp eyes.
"Leave."
He looked at me but then stood up and left. I felt kinda bad but now that was over with. The door closed and I heard a car drive off. That was probably Hunter. I laid back in the chair and closed my eyes. Why was I doing this? I could start a whole new life. I could live with no troubles and find someone that was good for me. I could live where ever I wanted but I'm here looking for memories that I don't even know exist. I sighed and thought about just asking for a new life. Valentina would do that much for me. I had all the money I wanted. I could die happy and rich if I just left so why am I here?
As if I needed a sign or answer, Aug walked through the door holding the phone. He held it out to me and our fingers brushed as I took it. He stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him with a slam. Someone was not happy. I held the phone to my ear and sighed.
"Well, that went splendid. Now they both hate me but that's what I wanted right?"
"Shadow they don't hate you. Hunter may be upset but he'll get over it. Do I even need to say Ash's feelings to you? After our talk it sound like they are quite clear."
