What have I missed?

Chapter 19: The girl in the ice cream parlour

I woke up from my peaceful night sleep at 2pm, first time I have ever slept in that late! I went downstairs in my girly pjs to find Mark and my mum kissing on the sofa. Get a room. I went into the kitchen and slammed the door. Not that anyone noticed. I feel like a permanenet third-wheel living here. I'm just waiting for the day when I can finally move out!

When I got back in my bedroom and collapsed on my bedroom, I noticed I had a dozen messages on my phone from Louis, and a few missed calls. It brought back the memories from last night, happiness took over me and I texted Louis. 

Ashleigh: Hey wuu2 today?:) 

He replied within a few seconds. 

Louis: Nothing! Wanna go somewhere ?:)

I thought about it for barely a second before I replied.

Ashleigh: Sure. Pick me up at 3pm:)

I was so excited to meet up with Louis.  I was dating Louis. The smart guy. The cool guy. The good looking guy. The guy who was out of my league. I was so lucky. I had to look really nice but had nothing nice to wear! I slammed open my wardrobe door in a rush of panic. After searching through every single piece of clothing I owned, I settled for a blue pair of high waisted shorts, a short sleeve red top and some red and white converses. I put my hair in a simple, messy bun because I was running out of time, added a little makeup to my face, grabbed my phone and purse and shoved them in a handbag just as I heard Louis knock at the door. I sprinted down the stairs taking them two at a time then calmly opened the front door so I wouldn't seem as excited as I actually was. 

Louis was 2 years older than me, so he could drive.He drove us to a icecream parlour. 

"I love this place Lou!!" I said as a wide smile took over my face revealing a dimple either side of my mouth. 

"So do I!" Louis said also grinning.

We walked in, holding hands, and it felt so right to be here with him. But good times always seem to end for me. A girl suddenly walked over to Louis, her hair too blonde to be natural, and her top too low to be worn in public.

"Hey Louis, who's this?" She smiled at Louis then frowned at me. 

"This is my grilfriend Ashleigh" Wow, it sounded so good to hear those words leave his mouth. 

"Oh, really" Her face now displaying disgust and annoyance. Louis noticed my confused expression and decided to introduce the girl.

"Ashleigh, this is Jasmine, a friend of mine"

"Actually, i'm his ex-girlfriend" She said smirking. I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Why would Louis date her, she looks so unbelievably fake. 

"Erm, yeh" Louis said, looking extremely awkward. 

"When did you two date?" I asked worried. 

"Two years ago" Was the response. I felt really nervous and uncomfortable so decided to excuse myself. I went into the girl's restroom and seconds later, Jasmine burst through the door. She came over to me, gave me a warning look, then spoke. 

"If I were you, i'd break up with Louis, because i'm the sort of girl who gets what she wants. And I want Louis"
