{Perspective: Tony's Perspective

The girl, Ashley, who saved me last night walked me home, which was a switch from the cliches. She smiled and waved as I walked in my house that night, she also made sure I got her number. Which in turn, forced me to charge my phone again.

"Fuck." I whisper. Messages spammed on my screen. Loud beeping noises sounded after each one.

Vic: Tony? Hey, I wanted to know if you wanted to get coffee today?

I roll my eyes, the picture was of Alysha and him. They were smiling at the camera with giant bright eyes. I sighed loudly, but kept calm. I decide to delete Mike's number and completely ignore any texts from him. It was better for me.

To Vic: I'd love to go to lunch, what time and should I look dressy?

From Vic: Oh thank god! Hey Tony! I missed you so much. It's been weird not having you around. Nothing dressy just me and Jaime and you. We'll pick you up at 1:30! See you then!

To Vic: I missed you too. See you soon.

I smiled and walked into my small bedroom, glancing at all of my clothes. I slide my hand across the fabrics and choose a simple black shirt with grey skinny jeans.

I slide on the clothes and stare into the mirror, I run my hand through my hair and watch as my bangs flip over my face. "I need a hair cut." I mumbled to myself. I grab my SnapBack and pull it onto my head.

I was finally going to go out with some good friends and hopefully, be me. Be normal, happy Tony.
I can and will live without Mike Fuentes.

Author: Happy New Year! It's not 2016 for me yet, but ya know.
I feel like no one really cares about this story and honestly I'm starting to lose interest in it. I know how I want it to end, but I have to figure out the in between details.
Hope you enjoyed.
Xoxo, Alexx.
