The Story of Us (Ashton Irwin)

You need to let him go. He'd want you to be happy. He'd want you to move on.

Madeline and I's conversation rang through my head. I put my head into my hands. Michael walked in as I looked up. I smiled slightly. He sat next to me and held my hand.

"Hey Wendy...how are you?" He said with a smile.

"Uh, I'm okay." I said. He just nodded. Tears started to well up and I hugged Michael. "I'm sorry I've been such a bitch."

"It's alright..." He whispered. I pulled back and I looked at him. He began leaning in and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He latched his lips to mine and I instantly melted. It was sweet and short and he pulled away.

"Wow..." He cleared his throat. He smiled. "I've been waiting forever to do that."

I smiled a little and he leaned in to kiss me once again. The door opened and I instantly pulled away. Luke, Calum, and Madeline stood there with astonished looks.

"I knew it!" Luke screamed. "You owe me fifty bucks, Calum!"

Calum slapped a fifty dollar bill in Luke's huge hand. Luke did a dance and Madeline flicked his broad shoulder.

"So, when were you two going to tell?" She asked.

"Um, it just kind of happened." I whispered.

Ashton stood there shaking his head. "I thought you loved me," he said. "Why are you cheating on me?"

I was instantly confused. I thought he said to go for it...that I needed to be happy.

"I'm not cheating on you," I said. "I thought you wanted me to be happy."

"Not making out with my best friend!" He screamed.

I leaned forward with my head resting in my hands. "I'm sorry."

"Sorry is not good enough."

"Stop it," I whispered. "STOP!" I'm balling now and I run out of the bedroom and out of the apartment. I have to get out of here. I need to get out of New York.
