"You what?!" I yelled causing Nate to jump back. I hopped up from the bed.

"W-we kinda got, um  together last night." Ashley looked down, ashamed. You guys are probably wondering why I was so mad at Ash. So she hooked up with someone, she might have feelings for him, is probably what your thinking. But don't worry, there's a back story to why I'm really mad at her right now.

"Nate you can leave now." I gritted through my teeth, not even looking at him. He grabbed his clothes and quickly scurried out of the room.

Once he was out of the room, I scrambled back to the bed. "Ash? What the hell? You were doing so good for months, don't let being at college bring you back to those times."

"I'm sorry." Ashley sobbed and I pulled her into my arms.

Ashley's story

When Chloe and Ashley were in high school, Ashley was going through some tough times. Her parents had gotten divorced, her brother passed away and she wasn't doing good in school. She went through a phase where she started skipping school and not coming home at nights. People found her laying outside of bars. 

She was also hooking up with a bunch of random boys. She had hooked up (not dated) at least half of the boys in our grade. She went to parties, got drunk and hooked up, she went to clubs and bars and random boys houses. 

Chloe tried to keep track of her and keep her away from everything but Ashley shut Chloe out of her life. She would ignore her at school and ignored her calls and texts. Soon enough, the gossip spread around the school and everyone started calling her the school slut. When she walked down the halls everyone would make kissing sounds and pretend to make out with themselves. 

As immature and mean as it was, it actually brought Ashley back to her senses. After a few weeks of being bullied and harassed, Ashley came crying to Chloe. She spilled everything and Chloe managed to calm her down but after hearing everything, Chloe realized that it was really complicated. 

That's when Chloe brought her to a therapist and she took it from there. From then on, Ashley promised herself that she wouldn't let herself loose like that again, she promised that if something bad was happening in her life she'd tale about it and she promised that she would go an at least 4 dates with a guy before they hooked up.

Back to regular story

Chloe's p.o.v

So now you see why I was mad. 

"Ash what happened? You were doing so good." I asked in a comforting tone.

"I-I don't know. One minute w-we were just talking and getting to know each other and the next h-he's whispering stuff in my ear and then before I know it we are back in my dorm in m-my bed! I couldn't stop him, I didn't even t-try. I don't know w-what's wrong with me." She sobbed, her tears ran down her face making her mascara go crazy. "You must be so mad at me." She looked down.

"I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Great now I'm sounding like my mom." I did a half smile.

She laughed and shrugged her arms a bit.

"Okay, listen Ash. You made  one slip in the road, it's not a big deal! I think what we both have to do is exclude boys and focus on our work. We both have the same classes today so we're going to go get some breakfast, go to our classes and then we will have a girls night. Okay?"

She nodded, "Okay, I'll go get ready, then we'll leave."

I nodded my head and she walked off to the bathroom. While she was in the bathroom I scrolled through my phone, 12 missed calls from Mom? I better call her back, I thought to myself.

I clicked on her name and listened to the phone ring.

"H-hello?" The woman who answered the phone wasn't my mom, it was my grandma. Something didn't sound right. Her voice was low and shaky and she sounded like she was outta breath.

"Grandma, is everything okay? It's Chloe."

"Oh my dear." I heard her quietly sobbing and quickly became worried.

"Grandma what's wrong?" I tapped my toe anxiously.

"It's your mother dear, s-she's in the hospital."
