Alli and I finished our talk and she went back inside. I decided to stay here, as I feel a bit drained from all this new information. 

Has our relationship moved too fast? Do we not know each other well enough? 

Whenever we are together I feel on top of the world. Like it's us against the rest and that we can face any obstacle together. 

But lately things have been coming up that makes me doubt how close we really are. I have no doubt in my mind that I am in love with him, and that I love him so much - but does he, deep down, feel the same way about me? 

Surely he would feel like he could tell me things if he did?

Before I can make myself any more depressed I decide to walk around the house. Toby's house is also at the beach, but his backyard is facing the ocean instead of the front of his house. I walk around the side of the house when I hear voices coming from a pathway down a tiny hill. 

The next thing I can hear makes my heart shatter into one million pieces. Loud and clear I can hear my boyfriend tell someone that he cheated on me. 

I could recognise his voice anywhere, but I walk further down as if my body wants to confirm that it actually is him. 

And it is. 

His eyes locks with me and realisation dawns on him.  

Before he can react I turn around, running away from the property, further down the beach. I don't care about the people looking at me as if I am crazy. 

I can hear Cody running after me but in his drunken state, I am much faster than him. 

"Ashley!" 

"Ashley!"

"Stop, baby, please" 

I abruptly turn around, facing him.  My body seem to make decisions on its own now because the rest of me is completely numb. 

Tears fall from my eyes as he comes up to me. He seems to have gone sober by now. 

"Why?" is all I can ask. 

I don't feel any emotions. Emptiness. 

"Why me?" I ask again when he doesn't answer. 

Cody runs his fingers through is hair in frustration. "It was the biggest mistake of my life. She was just there and she threw herself at me and I didn't know what to do.." he is speaking so fast I can barely comprehend what he is telling me. 

Who was just there? 

By now, he is crying as well. 

"Who was just there?" I whisper. Cody grabs my hands, looking at me with guilt in his eyes. "Who?" I shout, yanking my hands out of his grip. 

"Don't make me say it baby" Now it's Cody who's whispering and as he says this, I already know who he is talking about. Kylie.

Oh my god. Oh my god. 

"Go to hell Cody" I scream at him. "What did I ever do to you?"

"Nothing, Ashley. Nothing at all. I love you" 

"Don't say that. Don't you dare say that to me"

My vision is clouded from the tears. Cody tries to reach out for me, but I don't want him to touch me. 

"Please hear me out, baby. I'll explain everything" His tone is practically begging now. But I know that if I stay I'll let him talk me into this not meaning anything. 

Not because he tries to be manipulative, but because I love him. 

"Just stop" I say, before taking off. He doesn't follow me, thankfully. 

I run all the way back to their cousins house, sneaking inside without anyone hearing me, before I go to lay down in Allis bed. 

That's when it all really hits me. 

Cody cheated on me. He actually cheated on me? 

He fed me this fairytale and then cheated on me with Kylie at the first chance he got. Why did he pull me along for this? 

Does he hate me? 

Then I realise I'm stuck here in an unknown country, living in the same house as him. 

I sob myself out of energy, before falling asleep. 

Almost wishing I wouldn't wake up again.
