"Hello?" Ashton says over the phone and he sounds really tired. I don't blame him, it is about one in the morning. I just need someone right now.

"Hi Ashton," I respond.

"Whoa hun. What's wrong?" He asks me noticing my voice cracking.

"It's just uh. We uh. We broke up," I tell him.

"That prick. I'll be there soon," he says and before I can even get another word in, he hangs up. I just lay back down on my bed, crying more. My dog comes and lies down with me, snuggling up close. I pet her head as she whines, trying to comfort me. It doesn't help too much though.

Soon enough though, there's a knock on my window. I open it and soon comes in Ashton, my best friend. He wraps his arms around me. I don't hesitate to wrap my arms around him as my dog moves to the floor. I cry into his shoulder, fist in his hoodie. Each sob makes him squeeze me more. We stay that way for awhile until he pulls away so he can see my face. I know I probably look disgusting from all the crying I've done. He wraps his hands around my face.

"What happened Tabitha?" He asks me. I shake my head, but tell him the story about how my now ex boyfriend didn't want me and only kept me around because he felt sorry for me. I explained how everything was a lie. None of his words were true. He didn't ever love me. He just played me and now here I am, left a broken little girl who's now questioning everyone that's been a part of her life. What if they all just hate me too? What if no body really wants to be my friend? I hate feeling this way.

I don't even know why I called Ashton. He probably doesn't want to be my friend either. He probably just feels sorry for me too. I don't care in this moment though because I need somebody and he's that somebody.

He just wraps his arms around me and let's me cry, not saying a word. We stay that way for along time, only adjusting to get comfortable. Eventually we're both just laying down on my bed. I'm resting my head on his chest as he plays with my hair. I feel his steady breathing and it calms me down a lot, making me realize how heavy my eyelids are.

"Tabitha?" He asks me and I mumble, already half asleep.

"You realize that you're an amazing girl right?" He asks me and I don't make a movement. I just tighten my arms around him more.

"That guy's stupid not see that you're so special. In a good way of course. He doesn't realize that he just lost the best girl in the world. You were too good for him. Hell, you're too good for anyone, even me," he whispers the last part. I look over at him, squinting my eyes. I yawn.

"What do you mean?" I ask him.

"Nothing. Just go to sleep babe," he tells me, running his fingers through my hair. I'm too tired to argue as he pulls a blanket over us. I snuggle into him more. I'm on the verge of unconsciousness when I hear him whisper, "just that I love you, ya know? Too bad I can never tell you." Soon after I feel his lips press against my forehead allowing me to drift off into a peaceful sleep with a smile, knowing that maybe I am wanted by someone.
