My ex is my soulmate

Chapter one - My last slumber party with the girls

Ally's POV:

My name is Ally Davis, and I am 19 years old. I graduated from high school, and now, it's time to go to university. I chose to study art because I have always liked it. When I was little, I was always drawing. It's not like it was something good, but for a five-year-old kid, it was ok. My paintings were always on the fridge. My parents said that they loved my drawings, but I'm sure that it wasn't true. In my first year in high school, I decided to join the art club. There I learned many things thanks to the people who helped me. During high school, I also met my two best friends, Jasmine and Charlotte. They were always with me and I'm glad that we spent so much time together. Sadly, we'll go in different ways, but I hope that we'll never lose connection. I know that at university, I will meet new people, but I will miss the girls. They were a very important part of my life. Maybe when we graduate, we can meet again. Who knows? The worst part is that I still love my ex-boyfriend. We started dating in the spring vacation of junior year and, because of our stupidity, we broke up. No one wanted this, but it was too late. Usually, high school relationships fall apart after graduation, but I still can't move on. Maybe the problem is in me. I wanted to talk with him but never got the courage. I'm afraid that he is still mad at me. I guess that it wasn't meant to be.

Currently, I am laying in my bed. I called my best friends for one last slumber party. After two days is my flight. There is one week until university, but I want to go earlier, so I can see where my dorm is and get ready. I have no idea who my roommate will be. What I can do is try to be nice to her, and maybe make her my friend. I looked at my nightstand and saw the picture of Austin and me. Why does it have to hurt so much? I miss him so much, but I'm afraid to talk with him. Moreover, now he will be occupied with his university, so I am the last thing that he will think about. It's not like I haven't wished for it.

I started thinking about everything that happened between us. We were just two teenagers exploring the world together. If someone had warned me that I would fall so deeply, I was never going to do it. The girls have tried to cheer me up. Mostly by making me talk with boys. I did it, but it never worked. Whenever I was talking with a boy, Austin appeared in my mind. Just like now. Let me tell you how we broke up.

~ THROWBACK ~

Austin and I went for a night walk. We went to a park. I won't say that this is our place, but we come here often. I have to say that here we had our first kiss. We passed by some boys and Austin pulled me close. I know that he is getting jealous and only wants to protect me, but lately, I feel like he is overdoing it.

- Austin, you don't have to do this every time.

- Yes, I do. When I turn around, there are always boys, checking you out. Like you are a fresh piece of meat.

- So what? Usually, I don't mind it, but lately, you do it too often. I'm fine. As you can see, I am still with you.

- And now, I am the bad guy.

- I didn't say that. I'm saying that you need to calm down a little.

- Ok, then. The next time someone does something to you, I will leave you to deal with it by yourself.

- Why are you getting mad?

- Because you are making me.

- Is it bad that I want some space? When we are at home, everything is fine, but once we go outside, you go in protective and jealous mode. In the beginning, you weren't like that.

- Because back then I didn't love you that much. I didn't even know what I was doing. Now it's different.

- What is different? We are the same.
