In Love With My Best friend

Complex

one week later---

I decided to not go to therapy with Nathan. It would just be weird and I was way over myself when I thought I had feelings for him. Now Liam is another story. We've become friends and he's really nice.

"Ashley, Can I talk to you?" Madi asked while knocking on my door.

"Yea, sure come in." I said. Then she comes in. "What's up?" I asked

"I just wanted to check on you. I just wanna make sure you're ok. I know that things are hard on you and everyone here and at school are being pretty bitchy to you and I heard that you and Joshua broke up too, so, I just wanted to make sure your ok." She says.

"Yea... I'm fine. Almost six months pregnant and the sooner these babies come out of me, the sooner I'll feel better." I said

"Ashley, I think that I might be having the baby. I'm not totally sure. I just feel something very weird happening and it's been happening every day now.  I don't know how to explain it." SHe says

"Does it feel like butterflies in your stomach?" I asked

"Yea. Kinda." She says

"You're not having the baby, the baby is just kicking. Did you ever find other parents?" I asked

"No, I don't know what to do." She says.

"Maybe, if you don't find any parents for the baby, maybe you should give it to mom. I think she'll be a little relieved." I told her.

"You're so stupid. don't you get it. Mom hates Chris. She wants nothing to do with him and this baby has something to do with him." Madi says

"Mom is gonna be thankful because now she has a baby to substitute the baby she would've had." I said

"Ashley, what makes you think that she wont treat this baby like a substitute. Either way this baby isn't her's." She exclaims.

"Well I don't hear you coming up with ideas. Listen, just talk it over with mom." I said.

"Whatever." Madi says then she walks out my room. I then get myself ready for school.

At school -----

I'm walking to class and then I suddenly feel someone grab my wrist. I turned around and saw Nathan. I instantly snatched my arm away from him.

"What do you want?" I asked

"I just wanted to know if you're ever gonna go to therapy with me?" He asked

"Probably not." I said

"Come on, Ashley. I really trying here. I get the feeling that you still don't forgive me." He says

"You're right I don't forgive you. You raped me, you can't just say you're sorry and expect me to forgive you and we'll be bestfriends." I said

"I know that. Just tell me how can I regain my trust." He asked

"I don't know. Maybe you could be my personal slave." I said joking.

"Ok, I'll do it. What do you need?" He asked. He took me serious. Oh my god.

"What? I was joking but this could be fun. For now you can carry my books around." I said.

"Ok.. So I heard about you and Josh splitting up... I'm sorry." He says. Then I just paused.

"It's ok. We were better as friends anyway." I said. Then I noticed Josh staring at me. Then he walked up to me.

"So, what, you left me for a rapist!? Seriously! " Josh says
