Inseparable

Chapter 7

*Ashlee's POV*

I started walking down stairs to talk to my mom. I saw her sitting on the couch. Here goes nothing.

"Hey mom, can I talk to you?"

"Sure."

"Look, I'm sorry for yelling at you this morning. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean all the things I said, I was just mad and I didn't know what I was thinking."

She then embraced me in a hug and I knew she wasn't mad.

"I wasn't mad at you. I know what you're going through. It happened to me when I was your age."

"Really? You had someone like Austin in your days?"

"Well yeah. He tried flirting with me everyday. He was the biggest player in the school. Every girl fell for him. Except for me. But he tried changing himself for me, and I gave him one chance."

"What was his name?"

"You really wanna know?"

"Yes."

"It was Mark Taylor."

"Dad?"

"Yep."

"No! That's not what I wanted to hear!"

"I'm sorry, but it happened. You wouldn't be here if it weren't for dad."

"But could that mean that Austin is my true love?"

"I don't know. Things happen, Ashlee."

"I never wanted to get into this drama in the first place."

"It'll be alright, Ashlee. You want me to help you?"

"You can try, but I don't know."

"Ok."

"I'm going upstairs. I need to think things out."

I ran upstairs and texted Heather.

A: hey :/

H: why are you talking to me?

A: I need to talk to you

H: there's nothing to say

A: Yes there is. Look I'm sorry about the fight and everything I said. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have yelled at you and said all those things. I didnt mean it. None of it was true. I can't stand fighting with you. Especially if its our first fight. Please forgive me.

H: I forgive you. Only cuz u said sorry and sent me the LONGEST message ever.. lol

A: thank you.. meet me at the park in 20 to catch up?

H: I will.. c ya gurl :)

A: byee... :)

I hit send and went to get ready. I was ready by the time I had to go, so I ran downstairs and ran out the door and to the park when Austin texted me.

From: Austin(:

hey beautiful. meet me at the park in 10. I need to talk to you.

I was already at the park and saw Heather. I didn't reply and just went over to her and embraced her in a long hug.

"I'm so sorry. I never meant to fight. I don't wanna do it again."

"Me either. Especially since it was our first. And hopefully last."

"Yeah. I know."

I said as my phone buzzed in my pocket.
