Note: IxAmxThexDevil (mah best friend) helped with some ideas on this chapter! She's awesome, so go check her out! :D Here you go!
My puffy eyes started to slowly open. It wasn't until I started stretching when I realized where I was.
I thought I fell asleep on the couch?
Ashley must have carried me to bed seeing as he was laying down with me, with arms around me and all.
I never realized how adorable he was sleeping.
Even when we dated a few years back I never noticed how adorable he was asleep. Though, back then it was always sex sex sex, not so much of the emotional part. Our relationship never went anywhere; Ashley was stuck in the 'let's party all the time' mode while I was sucked into 'falling in love'. It was nothing big.
Ashley started to wake up and I looked away. I didn't want him thinking I was creeping on him even though I was.
"What happened between you and David last night?"
His question caught me off guard.
I don't remember saying anything about David last night.
"What?"
Ashley stroked my cheek saying, "You sleep talk. You mentioned David and why he did something."
I looked down, noticing how close we were. We could put a magazine in between us we were so close.
I loved it.
"I caught him kissing another girl at the bar last night," I said in a whisper, not wanting to break down into tears again.
I looked up at Ashley's face, which looked furious. His cheeks even started to turn red he got so mad. I found my eyebrow raising at him, which made him calm down a bit. He pulled me closer to him.
I didn't think that'd be possible considering how close we already were.
"It's going to be alright. Okay? That bastard doesn't deserve you. You deserve a man that's so much better, smarter, and one that will treat you right all the time."
I hugged Ashley tighter. I haven't talked to him about something like this in a long time. Last time David cheated, I went to Andy. I always went to Andy for everything. Ashley looked in to my eyes and closed his. As his face grew closer, my eyes grew wider. My mouth formed a little o.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Son of a bitch, why!?
We re-situated ourselves before saying come in.
It was Andy, and once again, he was pissed. I could just tell he was by his facial expression. This was the second time he's seen Ashley and I alone together. The first time it didn't look so bad because we were only dancing, but this could look bad since we're laying down together..in the same bed.
Ashley got up and tripped over something, making me bust out laughing.
Such a graceful man.
Andy closed the door after Ashley exited.
"I can't believe he did that to you again."
My eyes snapped up, confused.
"What do yo-"
"David, Aly."
I looked down.
He eavesdropped on Ashley and I.
My head shook at him. Walking past Andy, I went to the kitchen to get some cereal.
Honeycombs or Coco Puffs? Coco Puffs.
I made my cereal and started eating it as I checked my phone.
Why must David text me after that?
75% of all my messages were from David, which included voice mails. The rest of the messages were from Emma, of course. I wasn't sure if I wanted to check the texts and voice mails from David, even though I probably should. There was only one voice mail from him, so I'll check it first.
"Aly, look I'm so sorry. I was drunk and wasn't thinking clearly. I'm sorry, please call or text me back or I'm just going to come over and talk to you. Please. I love you."
That's what every guy says after getting caught.
After all the promises he made of saying he'd never cheat on or hurt me, he cheats on me and hurts me, again. Feeling like I was being watched, I snapped my head up to see CC, Jake, Jinx, Andy, and Ashley staring at me.
"You'r-you're bending the spoon there Aly," Jake said as he took the spoon away from me. Good thing I was done eating anyway.
Slowly, I got off the stool seeing as it was almost eleven, and I needed to get to my studio soon. I quickly took a shower and did all my other stuff.
I was almost in my car when Andy and Ashley came running outside to me.
"We're coming with you."
Since when?
I nodded my head slowly and we all got in my car. The car ride was silent other than Ashley and I having small talk. Andy wasn't too talkative and I didn't know why. He didn't look pissed, he just looked confused and hurt in a way.
When we walked in to my studio, I realized it had to be cleaned before my photo shoot with Escape The Fate tomorrow. I grabbed a broom and dust pan and started sweeping. I put Andy and Ashley to work, so they wouldn't try talking to me. Peace and quiet is all I wanted right now.
As we drove closer to home, I saw David's car in the driveway. Of course, CC, Jake, or Jinx would invite him in, because they don't know what he did.
"You want me to kick his ass?"
I rolled my eyes at Ashley's comment. "There will be no kicking of the ass."
He smiled and let out a small chuckle.
The three of us walked inside and there David was, just sitting on the couch staring down at his hands. I walked over to him, grabbed his hand, and took him up to my room, shutting my door behind us. Not a word has been said, so I took off the promise ring he gave me a few months ago and tossed it at him.
"Wha-Aly come on. Let's talk."
I could tell he was feeling bad, but I've given him way too many chances.
"There's nothing to talk about! You messed up the last chance you had David! What part of last chance did you not get!"
David fell to his knees in front of me.
"Aly! Please! I promise it won't ever happen again."
I looked away from him because I didn't want to cry in front of him. He wasn't worth crying over.
"Get out, David. I'll come over tomorrow after work to get my stuff."
He walked down the hall and I followed, shutting the door after him. As I turned around, Ashley opened his arms to me and I walked into them.
Why couldn't Andy be the one doing this?
