Who To Love

Chapter 5

A/N- Seems like it’s been a while since I’ve updated, sorry about that! I’m also is a super bad mood because I keep thinking its Tuesday! Nope only Monday :( but your votes and comments would put me in a better mood! Enjoy xo

I opened my sleepy eyes to the sound of Ty’s beating heart. I smiled, instantly. Flashbacks of last night came rushing through my head. I looked up to see Ty’s sweet face sound asleep. Last night was truly amazing. He wasn’t my first time, Aaron was. Either way it was exactly how everyone makes it out to be, wonderful & magical. Ty’s muscular arm was wrapped around my naked body clinging me to him. I gently pushed his arm off and quickly crawled out of bed, as much as I wanted to stay and sleep in Ty’s arms there were many things that needed to be done around the house before my parents got home, and if I got up and did them now I would be able to spend the rest of my day with Ty. I slipped on my robe and crept out of the room, leaving Ty to sleep peacefully.

The living room and kitchen had bottles of alcohol everywhere. How I was going to get rid of this, I had no clue. There was also plastic cups everywhere and there was even a tiny spill on the coffee table. I hadn’t realized how much of a mess we had made last night. I didn’t think I had that much to drink to not notice this, I felt amazing this morning no hangover what so ever. I started picking up the cups and emptying out some of the ones that were still full or had some alcohol left in them. Then I put all the bottles up and put everything into the black garage bag I had grabbed from the kitchen. I was going to go and dump this in one of the crash cans by the school, that way my parents would have no way of finding this.

By the time I was done the room looked exactly the way they had left it. Everything was cleaned and organized just the way my mother liked it, if she came home to the mess we had made I don’t think she would be as mad about us drinking then about her expensive messy living room. My mother was a great mother but sometimes she got way too caught up in the material things.

My phone buzzed and I looked over to see that my mom was calling. “Speak of the devil.” I mumbled quietly to myself. “Hello?” I said cheery into the phone. “Hey sweetie, I’m just calling to say that I and your father are about 5 minutes away. We came home early because the service was so terrible!” My mouth dropped to the floor. “Ok mom see you when you get here, bye.” I said a little too quickly then hung up the phone. I had a garage bag full of alcohol and plastic cups that I needed to get rid of and I had a fully naked guy in my bed. I ran to my bedroom and opened the door roughly. “Ty wake up!” I ran over and shook him. His eyes opened and as soon as he saw me he smiled. “Morning beautiful.” He said still smiling, he started stretching. “Yeah morning, you need to get up.” I said tugging on his arms. “Why?” He asked. “My parents came home early their 5 minutes away. Get dressed.” He stood up quickly and pulled on the clothes he came over in last night. I pulled on a maxi dress, through my hair in a bun and put on some sunglasses. “There’s a garbage bag of the bottles and cups from last night in the kitchen, can you take that out to your truck? Circle around the block a few times until my parents get here and I’ll tell them you’re picking me up for brunch ok?” He nodded and went quickly out the door. As soon as I finished making my bed I heard the front door opening. “Ashley?” My dad called. I sighed and opened my door heading towards the living room. “Hey mom, hey dad.” I said pulling them both in at the same time for a hug. “How was it?” I asked. My mom and dad both rolled their eyes. “The service was horrible!” My mother started. “Don’t get her started.” My dad said heading off to their bedroom with their bags. “How was it here?” My mom asked. My mind went back to last night, back to the little party we had and back to Ty and I and the night we spent together. “Hunny why are you smiling like that?” My mom cut me out of my thoughts.  I didn’t realize how just thinking about Ty and I made me so happy. “No reason, I just had a really good night.” I was cut off by Ty’s truck honking outside. “I’ll tell you all about it later, Ty’s here to pick me up.” I said as I went to grab the door handle. “Why is he picking you up so early?” My mom questioned, looking suspicious. “He’s taking me to brunch.” I smiled innocently. “Ok dear, have fun.” She pulled me into another hug then let me out the door. I jogged across my lawn to Ty’s truck and climbed into the passenger’s seat. “Do they suspect anything?” Ty asked before I could even close my door. “Not a clue.” I said smiling. Ty just chuckled and started moving the truck forward.

“Hello?” I heard Brad’s voice at the other end of the phone, not Sara’s which made me chuckle. “Hey Brad. Is Sara there?” I asked. A few seconds went by before I heard Sara’s cheery voice on the phone. “Hey Ashley!” She said. “Uh Sara? Is that you?” I asked, there was no way she could be feeling this good, I saw the way she left last night. “Yeah why?” She questioned. “You’re not sick?” I asked in disbelief. “Nope! I feel great actually. What’s up?” I couldn’t believe it, she could drink like she hadn’t seen water in years and didn’t even feel a little sick? I envied her. Even though I really wasn’t much of a drinker. I looked out the window at Ty who was chucking the bag of empty booze bottles and plastic cups into the garbage bin. “Parent’s came home early so Ty and I ditched and are going to brunch. Do you and Brad want to join us?” Ty came and hopped back into the car placing a quick peck on my cheek. “Sure!” Sara said. “We’ll meet you at the Pancake house.” I smiled, that was one of my favourite places to go for breakfast, or brunch. “See you then.”

Brunch at the Pancake house was great, as usual. You can’t really expect anything less from there. I have there famous French toast, Sara had the breakfast special and Ty & Brad both got pancakes. Ty and never been there before and he loved it. “We should come here more often.” He whispered to me when we were done eating. I was glad that everyone was getting along so well, at the end of breakfast Sara was telling me how her and Brad both really like Ty and were glad that I was happy. It helped that Brad and Ty pretty much shared all the same interests.

Ty and Brad decided to go off on their own way to hangout and have some “Man Time” as they called it, which also gave Sara and I some girl time so it worked out perfectly. “Let’s go shopping.” Sara suggested and I agreed. I actually loved shopping. “Wait can we stop here for a second?” I said as we passed the hospital. “You can just pull up here; I’ll be like two seconds.” She nodded in agreement and I hopped out of the car. I couldn’t help but think about visiting Aaron since I hadn’t been in a while. His parents didn’t really come that often and his friends only came once a week. I didn’t feel comfortable with him being all alone, although he didn’t know it.

When I reached his room I looked inside to see no one was inside, which didn’t really surprise me. He was in the same position that I had left him in last time. I sat in the seat by the bed and grabbed his hand. “Hey Aaron.” I whispered. “So I know I haven’t visited in a while.” I started. “You remember Ty? Well were sort of dating now.”  My voice trailed off. A couple months ago I would have never figured that this is what I would be doing at this exact moment. A tear fell down my face. I stood up and headed for the door of his room, before I left I turned around to look at his peaceful body one more time. “Goodbye Aaron. I love you.”
