Chapter Twenty Four: One horrible day

Ashley's Point of View

To say I was happy would be a white lie. Yes I was happy, but for one sole reason; Sarah. She inspired emotions in me that I had never experienced before. For a very long time there was nothing that could get me through the day. Everyone who knew me could tell there was something wrong but couldn't figure out what it was. Now I was experiencing the most extraordinary feelings known in the world. I was no longer trapped in the routine that had become my life. It was like walking out of that world and into a new one. Sarah had brought me into that world and had gotten rid of all those negative emotions that caused me to act like a mindless robot. Okay, maybe I hadn't been a robot, but I was getting pretty close.

Today, however; had been a major disappointment. I had gone to school without Sarah by my side and now I was waiting aimlessly for her call. Once I'd gotten out of school I had come home and collapsed on the couch, mentally screaming at myself for my behavior. I was being a total hypocrite. Once upon a time I had ridiculed the people that relied and depended on one person who they declared were their soul mate. They couldn't go a day without their partner, I had found it absolutely ridiculous. Now I had become one of them overnight and couldn't be away from Sarah for one single hour. When the first hour had passed by I had almost cried of the frustration I had felt from being apart from her.

So in conclusion, today had simply been the exact opposite of a perfect day. Was it wrong to feel like I was being tortured by being separated from her? I had to believe that she wasn't calling because she was busy. The problem is I was starting to argue against my own thoughts and begun to think the worst. What if something bad had happened to her? What if she didn't really want me in the first place and she had just toyed with me; the dumb human? What if she was gone already? All the what if's were getting to me and I was about to just call her myself instead of waiting any longer for her. So with all of these thoughts occupying my mind evening had come and passed until it was about eight o'clock and I was still sitting stiffly on the couch.

Just as I was about to pick my phone off of the cherry wood table it began ringing and vibrating fiercely. I snapped it up as quickly as I possibly could, my hands shaking as I saw Sarah's name pop on the screen. I accepted the call and put it to my ear.

"Sarah?" I asked in an urgent tone.

"Hello, beautiful. How was school?" Sarah's soft voice came through the earpiece.

"Please don't even ask." I pleaded her, ultimately being comforted by her voice.

"That bad, huh?" Sarah sympathetically spoke to me.

"It was horrible, Sarah. I could barely concentrate on anything without you there." My voice broke at the end of my sentence, unable to go on.

"I'm sorry, sweetheart." Her voice became even softer. I could hear her breathe through the speaker; it was enough to slightly calm me down. "If it makes you feel any better I'm my way over to your house right now." Her words made me smile, she knew exactly how to cheer me up.

"That sounds so amazing, when will you be here?" I asked hopefully.

"In a few minutes I will be at your doorstep, love." Sarah answered sweetly.

"Okay, see you soon, baby." I answered my heart in my throat from using that nickname.

I heard Sarah chuckle over the phone. "Sure will, mon amour." She hung up after her last words.
