Remember December

Chapter:32

I frown as I clutch the covers tightly around me as I stare blankly at the wall. I no longer felt the tears streaming down my face. I didn't even feel the cold condensation from the bottom of my bucket of red velvet ice cream. I just stare at the wall wondering when in my life did I ever give up? I mean. Yes Eric said Ex, but that doesn't mean anything. My frown deepen as I remember the scene at the restaurant.

I groan as I fell back on my bed. Oh who am I kidding? We are done. I look up at the purple ceiling and just stare. I felt nothing. I was tired of it. I wince as I hear the sound of the front door slamming.

"Chelsea Fucking Sanders!" Ash scream from below.

I groan as I roll over in bed. I quickly cover myself with my covers and stay in darkness. Hoping she'll leave if I stay quiet. I try to stay quiet and even my breathing. I jump as I felt my door being kick. I roll my eyes as pounding commence next.

"I'm not leaving till you get your fucking ass up!" Ash shout over the pounding.

I shook my head as I stuff my face into a pillow. A few seconds, I hear the creak of my door. I roll my eyes. Of course she would use a knife to get my door open. I frown as I felt a tub hit my head. I rip the covers off to see a bag of ice cream and chocolates on my bed. I smile in excitement and quickly tear open the M&M.

"So how are you feeling?" Ash sat beside me as I shovel down peanut M&M down my throat.

"Like shit and tired" I open the tub of red velvet ice cream and frown as I saw the cream cheese top part is melting. I sigh and close the tub.

"Can you put this in the freezer please?" I hand the tub toward Ash.

She scoff. "You have legs go do it"

I frown as I got off the bed. I place the tub on the floor for a second. I gather bunch of my covers end and rip it harshly from under Ash ass. she squeal as she went falling on the floor. I snort as I wrap the covers around me. I pick up the tub and exit my room. I walk downstairs and enter the kitchen.

I froze at the picture in front of me. Eric was tied to a chair. Eric eyes widen as he try to speak through the tape. I smack my forehead.

"Ashley" I shout.

I quickly place the tub on the counter on the counter beside me. I quickly walk over to Eric. I slowly peel the tape off of Eric mouth. I hear Ashley feet as she ran downstairs.

"Don't do that" She shout.

I jump at her loudness. I accidently rip the tape off of Eric mouth. he hiss at me as he bit his lips.

"My bad" I apologize as I ball up the tape in my hand.

He narrow his eyes at Ash. "You psychotic bitch! You fucking trick me"

Ash smile as she walk over to him. "Thank you, you're not so bad of a douche like yourself"

"Ash" I scold her.

She frown as she turn toward me. "What" she point at Eric. "I wouldn't mind calling him as ass"

I roll my eyes. "Un-tie him"

She scoff as she cross her arms across her chest. "No, he need to hear your explanation"

I sigh. "Ash this isn't a-

"I don't want to hear it, you lied to me, and she was goi-

Ash quickly open the drawer beside me and grab the tape roll. She rip it and press it on his mouth. She smile smugly as sat on the counter. "Now that we have no interruptions, Chels tell Eric"

I sigh as I look at him. His green eyes were stormy and I can feel the anger rolling out in waves.

"Eric I found out about your mother cancer when we was watching drumline and I wasn't going to tell you till the time was right. I knew how you're sensitive to your mother's health and I didn't want you to spiral out just like last time. Eric the last time you spiral you got liquor poising. I didn't want that to happen again, I was thinking of what's best for you, I agree I should have told you earlier, but since I know you better than you know yourself. You would have denied it, walk out and got drunk, Am I wrong?" I ask him as he shook his head.

I roll my eyes as he shook his head no. I sigh as I sat down. "Ash you can let him go now"

She jump off the counter. "Nope, now were are going to hear his side of the story" I wince as she rip off the tape.

She smile. "oops"

Eric glare at her as he blew angrily out his nose. "That was uncalled for"

"Well not hearing her out and just breaking it off back in NY was uncalled for" she snap.

Eric roll his eyes. "Chels I'm disappointed, I thought you would tell me right away, not keep it a secret, I mean what if it was the other way around, I would have told you straight away, but ease into it slowly, I care about you and I'm sorry for what I said in the cab"

I look into his green eyes as I bit my lip. "Eric I care about you too, but I have a feeling this won't fix us, or the past"

He sigh. "Words has been said and I know we can't go back on it, but where does that leave us?"

I bit my lip." As helpers, as before. Friends"

"So you just want to throw it all away? all the progress that we made, just because of one squabble, a misunderstanding" he narrow his eyes at me.

I frown as I felt my anger boiling. "don't you dare accuse me of throwing it all away, you made that choice, when you imply that I was your EX, so newsflash Eric we both destroy what we could have been" I grab the tub off the counter and made my way upstairs.
