Ashley's POV
I sigh and plop down on the couch.

What just happened? You yelled at Ryder.

I groan and play with the hem of my dress. Will he ever forgive me? I hope so. He's back in town and I really need to talk to him.

Aaron sits beside me and smiles.

"Alright babe ready to dance?"he questions. I nod and pull him up with me. 

I pull him to the dance floor and pull him closer. I hear someone clear their throat.

Me and Aaron turn to see Ryder standing there. Aaron growls and pulls me closer. 

"Can I dance with her?"he asks shyly.

Aaron shakes his head.

I glare at him and push Aaron away.

"Save me a dance then"Aaron calls walking into the kitchen. I nod and wrap my arms around Ryder's neck.

He smirks. I did not miss that.

"So you missed me?"he teases.

"Not at all but what made you come back?"

He shrugs. "I just wanted to see my friends again."

"Why did you leave right after we had that accident?"I ask anxiously.

"Because I couldn't handle the weirdness. And anyway that's done and over with. I just want to be friends with you okay?"

I nod my head in response. He smiles and puts his forehead on mine.

"So I'm coming back to school tomorrow still want me to sit at your table?"

"Yeah sure you might get people mad tomorrow but I don't care"I say honestly. 

He nods and twirls me around. I giggle and hold onto him when I stop spinning.

He leans down near my ear and whispers. "You look gorgeous tonight. I hope one day you'll realize I mean it."

I felt my cheeks heat up. I look down at the floor.

"Alright I have to go but I'll see you tomorrow"he says letting go of me.

I nod. "Yeah you should probably get going before you cause more problems."

He nods and waves goodbye before disappearing. 

I sigh and try to find Aaron. I finally find him near the front door.

"Babe you ready to go?"he asks.

"Yeah sure"I mumble opening the door.

He scoffs and closes the door. We walk to his car in silence.

He does this every time we go to a party. He wants to leave early and not have fun. That's when thing I hate about him. He hates having fun at party's.

He opens the car door and gets in. I scoff and get in. What the fuck is his problem.

He starts the engine and slams on the gas making us go fast. I hold onto the dashboard.

"What the fuck is your problem"I yell. He turns to me and frowns.

"My problem, your over here all over Ryder."

I gap and slap him clear right across the face. He groans in pain and holds his right cheek.

"How dare you say I'm all over Ryder. We were dancing"I sneer.

"Yeah like I believe that." 

I cross my arms and turn to him.

"Whatever don't believe me. Just take me home so I can go to sleep."

He rolls his eyes and nods.

"Always fucking yelling at me"I hear him mutter under his breathe.

When he drops me off I slam my bedroom door. Making everything shake in my room. 

I take off the dress and put on a tank top and sweat pants. I climb into bed. 

I went to sleep that night thinking about what just happened.
