Dear diary, which twin am i falling for.. (WATTY AWARDS)

Chapter Eleven

Ashley's POV

Tonight is the night! I thought to myself as soon as my eyes opened this morning. It was one of the best feeling's ever. Not the fact i was going round town. The fact that Matthew wasn't the first thing i thought about when i woke up. But weirdly enough it always come back down to him.. I cursed myself for thinking about him. Well what can i say? would be pretty impossible after what happened yesterday.. and for the past week or so. 

Anyway, he wouldn't know where i am tonight so he cant come and ruin it this time! I smiled at myself in the mirror as i sat forward, then realized that i looked like i'd been dragged through a hedge backwards by my hair. YOW. I looked even more awful in a morning! The hardest decision i was going to have to make today was whether i needed to go to town like.. now. And find a new dress to wear (with the money i managed to scam out of my mother) or just wear something i already had and have a lazy day until i have to start getting ready. I thought long and hard and realized i couldn't go round town in trousers, longer than knee length skirts or cropped jeans. I could wear the same thing i wore last week but if i did happen to bump in to you know who at you know where, i'd feel stupid. So it looked like town was on the agenda today!

'Hannah, hey! Its Ash, you fancy coming town with me? I need a new dress.' 
'Hey Ash, yeah course i'll come with you. Time?' she replied
'Errrm NOW?! its already like 1pm!' i was almost shouting down the phone, i so wanted to feel done up and pretty tonight. So i NEEDED a new dress.
'Yeah sure, meet me at the bus stop in 20 minutes?'
'Which one?' i replied hesitantly
'Cross road from you. God your so lazy Ash..'
'No way! Katie basically lives outside it, there's no way Hannah..'
'Fine, top of your road! i'll just have to walk a million miles to get there' she exaggerated.
'Okay, love you, bye!'

Great, i'd have my new dress in no time with Hannah with me! She's what i call a.. experienced shopper. I got ready for town and thudded down the stairs.
'Steady on Ashley!' my mum complained. 'Sounded like a heard of elephants coming down them stairs!' She soooo know's how to make me feel better.

 'Sorry mum. Im going town with Hannah, ill see you later' I gave her a kiss on her cheek, grabbed my bag and headed for the door. Stephan walked in front of me. I looked at him with a confused expression on my face.. 'urmm, seeya Stephan?' 

'Im walking that way so ill walk with you' He smiled at me. 
'Okay' i smiled back. This wasnt going to be awkward..(sarcasm intended).

We stepped outside. He shut the door and walked on in front of him, i caught up with him. 
'So your off on the pull again tonight.' He said.
'What do you mean? ''off on the pull''. I couldnt understand why he said again how did he know about the first time..
'Round town with Hannah, looking for some more lads' He seemed pretty edgy.
'No we just go for a few drinks. God Stephan, you make me sound desperate..'
'That's not what Brendan told me Ash.' He turned, stopped walking and looked directly at me. Oh my god, he knew Brendan! I should've known, he knows everyone. I could see Hannah in the distance at the bus stop. Now she decided to be early?! Stephan put his hands on my shoulders. 

'I know your old enough now Ash, but i want you to be safe. I want you to be with someone who means a lot to you, not some guy you met in a club and had a one night stand with. Im not saying your like that but no one knows what their doing when they've had a bit to drink and you wouldn't be to blame. I just don't want you to get in that state for it to happen, okay?' I nodded at him speechlessly. I honestly had no idea what to say to that. 
'You mean a lot to me Ashley. I know we havent been as close these past few years but i dont think any less of you now then i ever have done. Your my little sister and i want to know that you'll be coming back home tonight and every other night you go out. If you need me, youve got my number and ive got a car, ill come and pick you up straight away! yeah?' Woah, this was as deep as Stephan ever got.
