Austin's P.O.V

When me, Alan, and Ashlen were little, we did everything together. I remember once we went to the movies and saw a scary movie and Ashlen laughed the whole time. She was never scared, and always brave. Look at me.. talking about Ashlen like she's dead. Like she's been gone for a while. But she's okay. Or at least I hope.

Alan called me and told me that she was supposed to wake up tomorrow, so I should come down. I wanted to, more than anything. But, Veronika doesn't like Ashlen and I'd rather not get a bitching. So, instead I came up with an excuse.

"Shit, man, I can't. I have to go and run around to do things. I'm meeting up with our producer tomorrow." I knew that excuse was a long shot considering that I am almost positive he's gonna call to see. I wait a couple of seconds, no response until I hear him lightly sigh. Fuck, he's disappointed.. "Okay, man. Just wanted to tell you." He hung up before I could say anything else.

I felt horrible, considering I just lied to my best friend and now not seeing the one person who has been there for me after everything. I deserve nothing but hell. Maybe if I sneak there, Veronika won't know.

But that's bullshit on my part. Veronika can tell when I'm lying even before I can myself. There's no way I'll get to see Ashlen..
