I'll Be Here Waiting - [A Cody Simpson Love Story]

Chapter Eight - [Don't Listen To His Sorries]

Ashlyn's POV

"JAKE!" I said as he reached out to give me a hug. I was pretty close to him, but not as much as I was to Cody.

"How are you?" He asked.

"Scrambled." We laughed.

Cody was just awkwardly standing at the door. I didn't know what I should do, I could feel his eyes on me; starring me down, while I could also feel Sara's evil glare. 'Who cares?' I thought, 'This is MY best friend'.

"Hey, Cody." I said, nervously, as he let out a deep breath and started walking toward me.

"Hey, Ash." He said as his hands went around my waist and his head in my neck, I hugged him back, knowing this was exactly what I needed. I also knew this was pissing Sara off,  but I could honestly care less. This is where I belong. He then walked over to Sara, and I saw Alli look at me with a grin.

"I've totally missed something while I've been gone." Jake said, getting a laugh from a few of us. "I'm not kidding, what's going on?!" We all laughed again.

"You'll find out sooner or later." Alli said getting a sigh in return.

"You guys wanna hang out?" I asked. I saw Sara shake her head at Cody. I sighed.

"Man, I just remember I have to work on this project my teacher gave me...I'm sorry Ash."Alli said.

"It's ok...what about you, Jake?"

"I was actually gonna hang with Cody and Sara."

"Oh, okay."

I went home having nothing else better to do. You know you're bored when you spend your day cleaning the house, even doing chores that aren't yours to do! I had changed into sweats and was laying around when I heard Cody and Sara outside. Yelling. I went to the living room window, eavesdropping.

"You need to work on your priorities, Cody!"

"Sara, come on! Don't be like this!"

"Be like what? You told me you weren't hanging around that little whore!" My head spun...was she talking about me?

"Ashlyn is not a whore!"

"Then why was she all over you? She obviously likes you!"

"She may, but I dont care! I dont like Ashlyn. I never would!! I would never date her! I would never think about dating Ashlyn!"

"You could have fooled me, Cody."

"I don't, Sara! Ashlyn doesn't compare to you!"

"Gosh, I can't believe I even took you back. You are so difficult. It's ridiculo-" And with that I ran outside.

"Well lookie here." Sara said looking at me. "You-"

"No, hush. Let me tell you something Sara. Don't EVER think you can talk to Cody like that. I don't know why you think you have that right to talk to him like that! If anyone's difficult it's you. You are should feel LUCKY that HE took you back after what you did to him. It was his choice to take back a whore that cheated on him." I looked at Cody. "I don't know why he did though, because you do not deserve him. Cody is a great guy. Any girl would be lucky to have him. Any girl would be happy to have him. I feel blessed to have him as my best friend...No matter how much I like him and thats all we'll ever be, I'm fine with that because he's still in my life..."

I shut up realizing what I just said. Tears filling my eyes while my face went red from embaarassment. Sara just left, without saying one more word...I think I got my point across. I felt Cody grabbed my hand.

"I'm sorry, Ash..." I pulled away.

"Don't Cody."

I looked at him. I could tell he was shocked and confused. I nodded my head and just went back to my house. As soon as I shut my door, my eyes let it all out. I just couldn't hold it in any longer. Did Cody really not like me? Or was he just saying that? I got up to my room and heard my phone beep.

From: Cody

Ash, I didn't mean it. Please.
