Girl in the shadows

From girl to girl

"I'm going out to buy some stuff for Sophia, you look after her!" Said Dec. This was Ashely's moment to give Sophia back.
"Ok love, bye!" Said Ashely. And within that moment, Dec left the house. She looked through the window and saw Dec get into the car and lave the street.
"Let's take you back to your mummy and daddy!" Whispered Ashely. She put her coat on and walked outside with Sophia in her arms.
"So I obviously can't trust you then." Said Dec. This made Ashely jump.
"What are you doing here! I thought you were going to buy stuff for Sophia?" Asked Ashely confused.
"I was actually testing you! To see if I could trust you with Sophia!" Said Dec very angrily.
"I was taking her to the park." Lied Ashely.
"You think I'm going to buy that story?" Asked Dec, getting all wound up.
"It's true." Said Ashely, knowing that she was caught.
"You know what! I know your lying and I honestly don't know why! Go back To Ant's place with Sophia then! You and me are over 100%!" Shouted Dec as he shoved Ashely out of the way. Ashely was about to cry but she kept it in. She quickly walked over to Ant's house and gave them Sophia.
"Are you ok love? You seem like you're about to cry?" Said Lisa and Ashely burst into tears.
"Ashely! What happened!" Asked Lisa hugging her.
"Dec......Dec broke up...with me." Wailed Ashely.
"Why?" Asked Ant all confused.
"Because.... I tried to give Sophia back....to you! Now.....he has thrown me out...of his house!" Cried Ashely.
"Don't worry love, you can stay with us and we'll help you." Said Lisa.
"I'm going to ring Dec! See what the hell is happening!" Said Ant as he got out his phone.

Ant-what the hell Declan!
Dec- what?
Ant- you broke up with Ashely!
Dec- so?
Ant- what do you mean so!
Dec- it's got nothing to do with you, get your nose out of it!
Ant- Ashely's my friend and I want to know why you broke up with her!
Dec- because she wanted to give Sophia back to you!
Ant- that's no reason to brake up with her! She's crying so badly!
Dec- just get lost will you?
And Dec hung up.

Dec's POV
I hung up on Ant because he was being stupid! I'm Sophia's real dad and I don't know understand why he doesn't notice that! Lisa is pregnant so if I take Sophia, they still will have a child so I honestly don't see the problem! I broke up with Ashely because she can't be trusted! I was really bored so I decided to just go for a walk. I wasn't in love with Ashely anymore. She broke my trust and I simply couldn't forgive her. I grabbed my coat and went for a walk. I went for a walk in the park and sat down on the bench and processed what had happened today.
"Are you Dec from Ant and Dec?" I hear a voice say. I look up to see a woman with brown hair dip dyed a caramel colour. She wore light blue jeans and a grey and black top with pink head phones around her neck and a brown hand bag.
"I am!" I say grinning.
"Can I have a selfie with you if you don't mind?" Asked the woman.
"Ye, sure." I say. She sits next to me and she smiles at the camera and I wrap my arm around her and she takes the selfie.
"Thanks." She says as she puts her phone back into he pocket.
"You can stay if you want. I don't mind." I said.
"I'll stay for a bit but I have to go back to my kids." She says.
"Kids?" I ask. Then I ask myself why do I even want her to stay anyway?
"Ye! I have a girl and boy. Courtney and Dylan." Said the woman.
"Cool. I have no children and no partner." I lied about the first part but Sophia is really Ant and Lisa's child but I'm the real dad after all.
"I don't have a partner either, broke up with him 4 months ago." She says.
"Well we have that I common!" I laugh. She laughs back. We seem to be getting along quite well.
"I'm Melissa Jackson by the way." She says. Then I hear barking and I look down at the ground to see a Dachshund.
"Is this your cute dog?" I asked her.
"Yep, This is Button and he's a Dachshund." Said Melissa.
"You must love dogs?" I ask.
"Yep, I love dogs so much." Said Melissa.
"You know you can sit down if you want! I'm not going to bite you!" I said. So she down next to me with Button in her lap.
"So what's your job if you don't mind me asking?" I said.
"I'm a fashion designer." Says Melissa.
"Seems like a interesting job." I say back to her.
"It's quite hard though, working under pressure all the time but I do enjoy it." Said Melissa.
"You're a really sweet girl." I said holding her hand.
"I'm 34 so I think I'm the right age if you want me." Said Melissa, laughing.
"You're perfect." I whispered into her ear and she blushed.
"You can come over to mine if you want?" I asked Melissa.
"That would be great! I'll just call Courtney. See if we can sort something out." Said Melissa. She rang her daughter and she got to stay over at her friends house with her little brother Dylan. When me and Melissa got home, we sat on the couch and I kissed her gently on the lips. Not caring about Ashely anymore. Melissa was the one for me. I knew I could trust her unlike Ashely. Then I get a phone call from Ashely.
"Just give me a second, sorry about this!" I said. I leave the the living room and enter the kitchen.

Dec- this is not a good theme to be calling me!
Ashely- look Dec, I'm so sorry ok. Can we at least be friends?
Dec- yep. We can still be friends and I'm sorry. Tell Ant and Lisa that I'm sorry as well.
Ashely- thanks. I still love you but I understand we can't be together.
Dec- I love you too but not in that way.
Ashley- I know, I'll see you soon then?
Dec- sure! I'll see you soon. Bye!
Ashely- bye!

"Who was that?" Asked Melissa as I bumped into her.
"Ashely. It was Ashely Roberts." I said.
"Why were you talking to her?" She asked.
"Well, I broke up with her today, we were dating but we get along better as friends." I said hoping she wouldn't get mad.
"That's fine." She says quietly.
"We aren't dating though! She liked me but I never really like her!" I lied.
"Ok then!" She says with a smile on her face.
"I love you so much." I say as I kiss her again....
