Ashey purdy how did you know?

chapter six

Emily’s P.O.V

It was six am. I was woken up by my alarm saying it was time to start my exercise regime which consists of 3 hours on the treadmill one hour on the cross trainer one hour of push ups and sit-ups then two hours of ballet.  I did this everyday by the time I was finished it was 1pm and I was shattered.

Normally I wouldn’t have been as tired as I was but last night I kept having the same nightmare over and over again. Over what happened earlier last night. I dreamt the rapist came into my bedroom and raped me and when I screamed my mother just told me to stop making such a racket through the wall. It was the most terrifying dream I’ve had in a while.

Also between the nightmares I kept thinking about how Ashley had been so nice to me. I mean he was famous why would he bother helping me and driving me home when he could be with some skinny sexy blonde type.

Just then my phone buzzed against my leg signalling I had a text message I read it and it said: Hey Em remember me? I was wondering if you wanted to come to Starbucks with me? I smiled and frowned at the same time. I smiled because it was a lovely that he actually invited me. I frowned because everyone knows Starbucks has the highest amount of calories.

After thinking about it for a while I decided I would agree to go but afterwards I would have to remember how many calories I had eaten so I could double it and burn it off later. I was happy he said today because Lauren had given me the day off saying she didn’t want to see my big ass trying to keep up with the skinnier people.

I had a shower to get rid of all the sweat and changed into a pair of jeans which made me look skinnier then I was. And a loose shirt to hide how much body fat I had my body disgusted me how could anyone like me even in a friendship way I was just so fat ugly and stupid. I then texted Ashley and he said he was already there.

I made the walk to Starbuck’s because A: it didn’t take long B: dad wouldn’t take me because he’s busy doing god knows what. And C: my mom wouldn’t take me because she believes I should spend every waking moment dancing and she would accuse me of not wanting to be a dancer and being a failure.

“Emily!” I turned to see Ashley waving me over to him. I smiled and walked over to him. I sat down opposite him. He smiled at me and said “I thought you’d stood me up” He said jokingly I smiled and said “Why would I do that?” When in my head I was thinking why would I stand you up if anyone was going to stand someone up you should’ve stood me up.

We were talking for about half an hour before the waiter came we talked about all the easy things. Such as how old are you? I was 24 and he was 26. We talked like that for about twenty minutes, before he came out with “How were you last night after what happened” Obviously trying to choose his words carefully.

I gave him a sad smile and said “I couldn’t sleep I kept having a nightmare that we was in my room he raped me and no-one came to help me” Ashley grabbed my hand and said “I wish I could do something.” I shook my head and smiled and replied “Ash you did enough by saving me Last night if you hadn’t who knows what would have happened and anyway to I get to know your last name?” I said while laughing.

He smiled and said “of course mines Purdy yours?” I replied “Price”. Ashley was about to reply when the waitress came over and said to us “what would you like to order?” Ashley ordered a hot chocolate and a doughnut and I ordered the same.

 The girl then recognized Ashley and blurted out with “Oh My Good! You’re Ashley Purdy I’m a massive fan I absolutely adore you and your band and is this your little sister if you are you’re so cute!” She said in one breath it was weird how she could hold her own breath for that long.

The girl had to be about 21 with blonde hair and blue eyes with DD cup breasts that had to be fake. She was skinny and looked like the groupie sort of person; she also looked and sounded quite ditzy. As for being his little sister I could see why she thought it I mean I was to fat and far too ugly to be his girlfriend or friend.

Ashley should be here with someone like her not me. Ashley must have seen my expression because he said “actually she’s my friend and I don’t date people who are bitchy like you and as for being a fan I challenge you to name one of our songs” she looked defeated Ashley just smiled and said “my point exactly now please run along and give our order to someone else thanks”

I blushed and said “thanks Ash but why did you do that?” he replied and said “because I’m here with you and she insulted you and I won’t stand for that.” I blushed but before I could reply a new waitress was in front of us handing us our order. “I’m sorry about her” she said to me I smiled and said “don’t worry about it”

We stayed until both of us had finished and I was disgusted with myself I had just eaten a whole four hundred calories. We said goodbye to each other and Ashley dealt with the bill and hugged me and kissed my cheek before walking to his car.

He had offered me a ride home but I insisted that I wanted to walk so he let me. When I got in I went straight to the treadmill I burned 1000 thousand calories for what I ate, 1000 calories for being fat and another 1000 calories for being ugly.

After that I went straight up to bed only to have the nightmares again only this time Ashley was there with  the first waitress and they were laughing as I begged for help.
