Ashley's P.O.V
/I'm sorry/
"I'm sorry," I mumbled to Chase, slowly my breath became heavy. I started to sweat, not because of the sun but, because I was anxious.
I wanted to run and hide. Anything but to deal with Chase's reaction. It could be a million years from now and I still wouldn't want to.
This moment; I'm pretty sure of it; will go down in my infamous book of shitty moments. I can already see it's heading,
"Most intense moment of Ashley Gopher's life." I'm affirmative about it 100%.
Guilt began to pour into me. I was like an overflowing cup. Chase gave me a confused look as he approached me.
"I did the right thing.I did the right thing." I reminded myself repeatedly.
I know I did. I think I did? I really should've thought this over. Well, I already did millions of times, but maybe I should have thought one more time.
It felt like the world slowed down as Chase was walking towards me at a snail's pace, although it was only about a short five seconds.
"You're sorry?" He inquires walking up to me, his voice broken; shattered; weird.I could go hours describing the tone of his voice.
The sound of police sirens drained out his voice from my ears, They were all I could hear, which was why I was completely caught off guard when I suddenly felt his hands push against my chest harshly. I found myself on the ground groaning in pain. He just pushed me.
Chase was above me yelling God knows what. His first came flying towards me. As if everything went in even slower motion as police officers came over pushing him off me. I could still feel the force he pushed me with.
I immediately got up looking at him with pure shock. I don't know why I'm crying, actually I do. Tears escaped my eyes as he entered the police car. Once the car door was closed he gave me a look of betrayal and turned away.
"What have I done?" I whispered to myself watching police cars drive off.

"Welcome everyone to Hamilton Highschool!Let's make this year a blast!" I cringe at the squeaky voice over the loudspeaker. Today was the first day of school, my senior year to be exact. I was nervous. No, wait beyond nervous. Not because of what you think, it was because of Chase. Ever since the day I 'Messed up' his life he has never said a sentence to me. As a matter of fact, he hadn't said a word to me since. He avoided me at all causes. It was driving me crazy. Completely crazy.
Suddenly I saw a flash of blonde-ish hair go by. I heard a "Hey Chase, how ya been?" It was him. He was in his locker surrounded by a group of guys, they were football players and jocks of all sort. Chase never hung out with them. Ever. Taking a closer look at him I notice he looks completely different, his hair in a different style and his apparel way different than ever before. Intensely watching Chase talk to his 'friends' jealousy raged through me. Then he looked at me dead in the eye while closing his locker and quickly turning away as if he never saw me. I sighed and headed to my assigned locker. My combination number was '10-31-98' which I thought looked familiar to me.
It was Chase's birthday. I fucking hated my life at the moment. Putting my stuff in my locker I felt someone hug me from behind.
"Ash!" The voice exclaimed. I turned around to see Joslyn.
"Sunshine!" I smiled brightly. She giggled asking me how my day was so far. I instantly replied fine not wanting to explain the whole Chase ordeal.
