Little things

CHAPTER 39

"And...." Pat shouted frustrated, waving his hands in the air making Macau flinch.

"And? what do you mean by and you need more" Macau shouted in response

"Calm down for a second, would you," Ashly pleaded flatly, looking back at Macau, who was holding his head in his hands pulling his hair, Pat nods sittings down trying to calm himself taking a back seat. Ashly, got up from her seat going to stand beside Macau

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU......you piece of shit!!!!" she grabbed Macau by the collar and started shaking him vigorously, making Pat run to save Macau ".....you think this is funny, you changed the whole fucking narrative, you really think this is some teen live drama going on, where you're going to change the man you like every 5 minutes, are you insane" she was still holding him by his collar

"Ash, Ash, calm down...calm down" Pat said trying to pull her back but to no avail as she just jerked him away "ASHLY" Pat shouts making her turn towards him with fierce eyes.

"And you, you couldn't even say me a word, with so much chaos going around in his life...." she says pointing towards Macau who was scared for his life at Ashly's anger "You know what, you stay put here, I'll handle you later, first let me deal with this mess" she says staring at Pat who backs up.

She takes a long frustrated breath trying to calm herself down, and pushes Macau inside to sit beside him, Pat comes and sit opposite to them on the table "what are you trying to do with your life Macau, you weren't like this before," she said as calmly as she could.

"I thought we were discussing his love life, when did we end up on his life?" Pat tried joking making two pair of angry eyes look at him, he just groaned back.

"I don't know" he said nodding his head in frustration making these the first words come out of his mouth after his friends anger erupted.

"He always does this, he just goes like I don't know, every time you ask him what's wrong or how are you going to deal with it, he just shrugs," Pat groans in frustration, staring at Macau "....even when he ran away and came to live with me he....."

"He what??" Ashly shouts flabbergasted at the details she received making both the boys count their last days on earth "You ran away?" she stared at Macau, piercing in his soul, he nodded slowly, "and came to you?" she looked at Pat who nodded in response, "and no one thought I should be knowing this?"

"He said not to tell you, otherwise you'll kill us both" Pat rambled in one breath trying to clear his name, "no I didn't say any thing like that" Macau ditched Pat 

"and you listened to him?" she asked back Pat, ignoring Macau's words.

"well, it's not like I had a choice, I mean look at you now" he said pointing back at her , who rolled her eyes  folding her hands and looking at both of them.

"What's next, the one whom you're running away is...." she thinks for a minute, "....I don't know some kind of famous celebrity, so much already happening in your, life at this point I won't be surprised if the it was Wik or someone" she says waving her hands in air. 

Listening to her words Macau chocks on air getting a cough, he starts tapping his chest to get it working, and starts laughing nervously making both of them look at him suspiciously "nothing like that, you guys are getting it wrong" he smiles sheepishly 'they'll definitely die of heart attack if i agree with her, or she might kill me either way I'm not ready' he thinks to himself.

"Ok can anyone talk about my problem now?" he asks a little irritated with the whole situation, just wanting to get away, with whole thing.

"I don't know, just talk to him i guess" Ashly shrugs, "I mean, instead of running away from him, just ask him is he serious, and tell him why you think he's just messing around, that's the easiest way to communicate" she thinks for a moment, "will you... i don't know.... go back to him if he's genuine enough?" she asks back.
