Ashley's P.O.V
//Fall away//
Finally, we were here. It was silent perusal, the only sounds you could hear were the soft winds pushing against the trees. It was chilly and I only had a hoodie, but I was fine, as always. I heard footsteps in the distance. It was Chase. He decided to walk instead of getting in the car with me. Honestly, did he hate me that much? Soon Chase was standing right in front of me with his thin lips pressed into a flat line. I felt small, but he felt smaller, which gave me a boost of confidence.
"Why am I here?" I ask wanting a good answer.
"Sit." He tells me. I immediately obey which makes me question where my confidence went. He sits down to leaning his back against the old yew tree. I had so many memories at this 'spot'.

"Ash I just thought of something." Chase randomly said while we were in my room. I turn my head to face him giving him a quizzical look. "We need like a spot to hang out, we can't keep staying in your room."
"Why?" I ask slightly offended.
"I'm pretty sure your dad is going to start questioning why there's a boy in your room...And because if we had an official spot it would be so cool. Like in the movies." He smiles brightly showing his teeth and dimples. I like it when he smiles like that. I don't know why...I just do.
Well, he did have a point but being only 12, we couldn't go many places.
"How are we going to find one?" I ask curiously. He gets off the bed and grabs my arm.
"Come on, I have the perfect place." We quickly snuck out my house making sure my father didn't see us. As I was following chase I noticed a purplish bruise on his arm.
"Hey, Chase?" I called out. He turned around quickly.
"Yeah?"
"What happened to your arm?" I said pointing to the bruise.
"Nothing." He mumbled and kept walking. I said nothing more feeling a little sad that he wouldn't tell me.
"Ok," I whispered.
After a good 10 minutes of walking, we made it to a big area of empty land. There was a big fence around the area and a great big sign that read "No Trespassing." in big bold letters. I also saw that there was a hole in the fence that looked as if someone had tried to get in.
Me being the goody two shoes I am, I said, "But we aren't allowed in there."
"That's not stopping me," Chase says rolling his eyes. He pushes me towards the opening telling me to go in. Hesitantly, I go through feeling a rush of adventure in me as I enter. When we're both inside, Chase leads me past a few small trees to a huge one that had leaves covering all of it.
"This is it." He smiles.
-
"Ash!" I heard chase yell. I was instantly pulled out of my thoughts. It's been a while since he's called me that.
"Yes," I say looking at him.
"Ugh finally." He groans.
"Just tell me what you want," I say rolling my eyes.
"Look...I'm still mad at you for what you did, but I miss you...and my friends...so let's just forget about everything and start brand new." He says as if he's the most peaceful person.
"What! You've got to be kidding me? I'm not going to fucking forget everything you fucking asshole." I say between my teeth glaring very hard at him. How could he just want to forget about everything?
"Why the hell not? You should be happy about this!" He spits at me.
"Happy that you want to forget about 12 years of our life together?" I stand up getting more fed up by the second.
"I didn't mean it like that." He says pacing around suddenly getting quiet.
"Oh kiss my ass!" I yelled pulling out a cigarette with a lighter.
"You smoke?" Chase says, his eyes getting wide.
"Got a problem with it?" I say bitterly. He quickly shakes his head No.
Suddenly he grabs my arm a little harsh and says,"If you don't want to start this over fine...but don't let anyone know what we're fighting about this is already hard enough as it is." He looks at me one last time before storming off. I take a long from my cigarette trying to calm down.
Then I lost it, "I FUCKING HATE YOU CHASE!" I scream at the top of my lungs. I doubt he heard me. I've been telling myself I'm fine for how long? I'm not gonna lie, I miss Chase to, but not this Chase. I miss the old one, the one I knew or at least, I thought I did. I don't want to keep fighting with Chase, but I'm stubborn and I don't want his way, I want mine. I think.
"Things are so complicated," I sigh before heading home
