My Brother's Best Friend

Comfort?

As Jennifer saw me running towards her, she gave me a worried face.

"Hey, what happened?" She comforted me.

I didn't get to answer her because Ryan came running towards me too.

"Please take me away from him, Jennifer." Was the sentence that came out from my mouth. 

"Sarah, please don't go. I need you to listen to my explanation. Just this one time." Ryan begged, trying to comfort me.

"NO Ryan, I think you should go. Sarah doesn't want you here. You've gotta go. Please." Jennifer helped me to tell him.

Honestly speaking, I didn't expect her to be on my side because she has a huge crush for Ryan. I would be the one who is ruining their relationship.

"It's alright Jennifer. I should be the one who's supposed to be going out rather than him. You guys go ahead and proceed with your talking. I'll just get a cab to get home." I muttered. 

"But, you don't have any money with you. C'mon, you're my best friend. It's my job to keep you safe from danger." Jennifer sighed.

"Sarah, please stay. Give me one last chance. I promise I'll be better than the previous years." Ryan interrupted.

"Dude, can't you understand me? I just told you that no more chances for you anymore. Why can't you just leave me alone? Go find another girl to fuck with. Because it's none of my business. I don't belong to you, and you're not mine. Just get the hell out of my mind. Just do me this little favour, can you?"

After saying that, Ryan stopped begging.

"Alright. I'm just going to give you three days to think about it. I really do hope you can give me one last chance to change." He sighed.

"Ok. Thanks." I mumbled.

Then, Jennifer cut in.

"Sarah, I've called Ashton to pick you up from here. He's waiting for you outside ?" She questioned.

"Yes. Thank you Jennifer. And really sorry about the mess I made today. I'm such a terrible friend." 

"Nah, it's alright. The most important thing is that as long as you're happy, I'm happy. When you're in difficulties, I'm always there to help you." Jennifer smiled.

Suddenly, I got a phone call from Ashton.

"Well, I guess I gotta go. Ashton's calling me. Call you later?" I said.

"Yea, call me when you've reached home with Ashton." She winked. 

"Alright. Bye Jennifer." I waved at her and I went into Ashton's car.

- Ashton's POV - 

I was in my room playing video games with Brian, my partner. 

"Hey Ashton, someone's calling you." He said as he handed me my phone.

It was written "Jennifer".

"Hello?" I asked.

"Ashton. It's me Jennifer." She answered.

"Yea, what's up? Sarah with you?" I questioned.

"Yes she is. Um.. she's kinda in a bad mess." She replied.

Wait. Sarah? What's going on?

"What happened to her? Is she alright?" 

"Kinda... Look, I'll explain to you later, alright? Right now I need you to do me a favour." she said.

"What is it?"

"Could you pick her up from here? Because her ex - boyfriend is right here, annoying her and kinda begging her to give him a chance to be together." She explained.

"I'll be there in 5 minutes. Just give me the address of the place." 

"Alright. Thanks." Jennifer said.

As I put down the call, I just realised something.

When Jennifer and I were talking, I could hear the screaming of Sarah and her ex. I was indeed mad. If I had the chance to meet up with this guy, I would punch him in the face. My body was boiling. 

Soon, I got the address. As I looked it up using my GPS, it's  just few minutes away from my house. Thank god.

"Bro, what happened?" Brian asked.

"I've to pick someone up from a restaurant." 

"Oh.. want me to follow with you?" 

"Nah, it's cool, Brian. I'll be back in a short while." I replied.

"Alright. Be safe. And don't do anything stupid."

"See ya later." I said and off I went to the place. 

[ Present ] 

- Sarah's POV - 

Ashton was wearing a white t-shirt and sweatpants. How miserable it could be.

"Hey." Ashton said.

"Hi." I replied.

"Are you alright?" 

"I just met my ex - boyfriend." I cried.

"Yea, I know. Don't feel bad. It's gonna be alright, Sarah. I'm right here with you. We can do this together." Ashton comforted me.

"Thanks Ashton. I wouldn't still be strong if you weren't there for me." I said.

As I said finished, Ashton lifted my face and pressed his soft lips against mine.

Obviously I kissed back. 

The kiss made me feel better. Made me human again. Ashton and I knew that we were meant to be together. We're like one. 

I love him and he loves me. And nothing could change that statement.
