Jasmine's P.O.V
I got home early because the pool water was cold and Sydney refused to get in. I unlocked the door to our apartment to find that Ashleigh wasn't home yet. I turned all the lights on, along with the tv, kicked off my shoes and dived onto the sofa.
Today has been tiring.
Ashleigh's P.O.V
I burst through the door, expecting to run into it, but I didn't, Jas must've been home early. I was fighting harder and harder every second to hold the tears back, and it had worked until now. I limped into the lounge where I saw Jas on the sofa, she looked up with a grin on her face, but it faded when she noticed my empty hands.
"I-I'm s-sorry Jas, I-I dropped it on the way" I stuttered, trying not to show her that I was upset, trying not to get her to ask what was wrong, because then I would have to think about him again.
"It's okay" she said as she shot me a sympathetic look.
And I couldn't hold it in any longer. I fell to the floor, tears rapidly streaming down my face. Jas jumped up and knelt down besides me, stroking my back.
"What's the matter Ash? what happened?" She asked, a tone of worry in her voice.
"Liam" was all I had to say for her to realise. She pulled me up and we sat on the sofa, she wrapped her arms around me and rocked me back and forth like I was a baby. I smiled and looked up at her, wiping the tears from my cheeks.
"I-I bumped into him, and he spoke to me. He actually spoke to me." I said, remembering my brothers words again.
"Oh my god, that's great! . . . Isn't it?" Jas reassured as I shook my head.
"He didn't care when I got put into the care home Jas, him and mom didn't even bother to take me away, it's like they didn't want me." My voice was shaky and I sounded like I had a cold. The memories of my childhood started flooding back to me as I compared my life to my brothers perfect one.
"Of course they wanted you, who wouldn't want such a lovely, funny, pretty, sometimes a little bit of a freak like you?" Jas joked, trying to cheer me up, which almost worked.
"Maybe they didn't know about your dad, maybe they didn't know you got put in care?" She added.
That really made me think. Maybe that was the case . . . But it can't have been.
"No. Dad said that they never tried to call or get in touch, and he said that they didn't want me, he said that I was the reason that him and mom broke up!" I shouted, getting teary again, my emotions were all over the place right now and I couldn't control it.
