Chapter 47

ASH'S POV

I woke up with a terrible banging in my head and all I could smell was the alcohol form last night. I rubbed my eyes and quickly sat up but was met with a rush of blood in my head. I regretted last night so much.

I groaned deeply and lay back down, replaying last night's memories in my head. All I could think about was how much I wanted to forget about Phoebe once Oscar had told me she moved on.

I know I didn't deserve her but I didn't expect her to move on that fast. I thought she actually loved me, and surely if she did she would be watching the telly and crying into her ice cream like normal girls. But my Phoebe wasn't normal, she was so special but obviously she didn't value our relationship enough. Because she was out there with another guy like she didn't just call off a two years relationship just a few weeks ago.

As I lay there wallowing about Phoebe I could smell coffee. Wow I must have really hit it hard last night and now I was reaping the consequences. Maybe that was what I needed, some coffee to get me out of this funk.

I finally got out of bed and headed to the sitting room, the smell getting stronger as I approached the kitchen.

"Come and get your coffee" A soft voice spoke.

I looked over the breakfast bar, which connected the sitting room to the kitchen, to find Phoebe leaning against the corner with a mug in hand. She placed the mug on the bar then picked up her own and took a sip, her eyes on me as she drank.

I noticed the dark circles under her eyes and her slightly matted hair. I took a seat on the stool and drank from the mug. I didn't know what to say to her or why she was even here so I decided it was best to keep quiet for now.

She watched me for a while as I took another sip and welcomed the warm coffee down my throat. Just as I was about to speak she turned around and I watched her as she rummaged in the cupboard behind her. She placed a painkiller down in front of me along with a glass of water.

"Take this before you finish your coffee", Phoebe muttered.

"Thanks" I said before swallowing the tablet with water, "So um like what are you doing here?"

"Heath called"

I winced as she mentioned Heath. Phoebe always made it very clear that she didn't approve of our friendship. Whilst she knew he had a good heart and looked out for me, he was known for his party animal behaviour and she thought he was a bad influence on me. If she found me with Heath then she would definitely be pissed.

"He called me at about two in the morning saying you were smashed and that you needed to be picked up" She explained.

"Well there was no reason for him to call you, there were other people he could have called"

"Ash, he said you were calling for me" She looked me in the eye.

"Bullshit" I muttered and turned from her gaze.

"Ash I could hear you on the phone"

"Let me guess, you were relishing in the fact that I was calling for you in a state like that" I spoke.

"It's not like that and you know it" Her voice remained calm and smooth. Her words sounded so thought out, it was like she had everything calculated to make me look like the bad guy and I wasn't having that.

"Oh come off it Phoebs, neither of us know what it's like anymore" I raised my voice.

"I didn't have to come and get you did I? Don't know why I even bothered" I could tell she was distressed yet her voice hadn't even cracked yet and she sounded so sure of what she was saying.

"Don't ask me, I'd have thought you would be with someone else" I rolled my eyes.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Phoebe narrowed her eyes at me and set her mug down on the bar.

"Don't pretend Phoebs, I can see straight through you. You may as well leave, I'm sure he's missing you." I gripped the counter tightly.

"Who's missing me ash, you're not making any sense? What are you even on about?"

I stood up from the stool and ran my hand through my hair, letting out a sigh of frustration, "Oscar told me you were out with another guy yesterday, clearly you moved on quite quickly. Tell me something, did nothing in the past two years of us being together meant anything, for you to move on so quickly"

"Excuse me? Are you fucking serious? The past two years of us being together meant so much, to the point I forgave you a billion times for hurting me over and over and for your information, you cheating on me is the reason why we are broken up. I have no idea what you're saying about Oscar? When did Oscar say that and when and why on earth were you with him?" She finally cracked and was screaming at me.

"I saw him yesterday" I said with frustration

"Why though? And where?"

"I came over to see you yesterday and he answered the door" I look up to see her staring back at me as if she couldn't believe that I would do that, "But that was obviously a mistake because you were busy with someone else. And for your information that only reason I came to Australia was to fight for our relationship but I quickly realised I was wasting my time because you have already moved on." I said realising mid-way I was putting all my cards on the table, but I had nothing to lose, I lost her already.

"You're unbelievable Ash. I was in the house, I was at home Ash, Oscar must have said that to make you leave, he's my brother he wants to protect me from people like you. And I'm glad he did that because clearly I can see have low you think of me. How could you possibly think that I would could end a long time relationship and move on with my life in the blink of an eye? I can't ash. And why are you even judging me you have no right considering you are the reason we fucking broke up in the first place"

"Okay yes I'm the reason we broke up, I cheated on you but I've been out of my mind thinking about you in L.A. for the past 3 weeks. I sit there thinking about how I am such an idiot for losing a girl like you. I was basically hammering myself for being such an unfaithful prick, but when I come to try fix things you're already over it and onto the next!" I spat.

"Ash I have no idea where you got the whole idea of me moving on, but honestly this is hurting me" She spoke slowly and I could tell there was lump growing at the bottom of her throat.

"Yes I can definitely see that you've been affected by this so deeply" I rolled my eyes.

"I don't need to hear this." She shook her head and turned.

"That's right, go running back to your new man"

"Ash there is no one" She grabbed her bag and headed for the door.

"Yeah and why should I believe you?" I yelled, all this pent up anger inside of me building up.

"Fine, don't believe me. I don't even know why I even bothered getting you from the club last night. You don't even deserve half of my words that I am saying to you right now considering what you have done to me."

"I didn't deserve you coming to club last night? I didn't even want you there, Heath called not me! And maybe you should just stop talking to me if I'm not worth your words"

"Goodbye Ash"

I stayed silent, not wanting to give her the satisfaction of an answer. Half of the things I said were just out of anger but everything was just a confirmation that I could never win her back.

She grabbed her things and walked away from me, not even looking back. As the door clicked close I felt my whole world crash down onto my shoulders. How could she do this? How could she walkaway from me?
