I wake up with a huge hangover. I groan when I open my eyes as the sun is in them. I roll over and see the beds empty. I don't remember Ash getting up. I actually don't remember anything. I decide to try and go find her. I go down the stairs and see her laying on the couch. She looked like she'd been crying. I go over and hug her. "Ash are you okay? Have you been crying?" She flutters her eyes open. She instantly looks scared. "Ash what's wrong?" "Do you not remember?" "No what happened." "We got into a fight last night." She whispered. "Oh." "Yeah."

After a couple of minutes I say "What did we fight about?" "Well I was worried about you because I texted you and you never answered me back and it was three in the morning. And you came home and we started arguing and you called me clingy and I said that if I was so clingy I would just leave and you wouldn't let me go." "I'm sorry for calling you clingy." "It's fine jack." I look down and see that her wrist is clearly severely bruised. A tear runs down my face. "Jack are you okay? I told you you were okay you were drunk you didn't know what you were saying." I just pointed to her wrist. She quickly hides her wrist from me.  "Jack you didn't mean it you would never hurt me intentionally. I mean you love me right you didn't mean to hurt my wrist." "Of corse I love you I am so sorry Ashley. I'm never going to be around you again while I'm drunk. Just please don't... leave me." "Jack I'm not leaving you." "You promise?" "Promise." "I love you I'm so sorry about your wrist. It won't happen again."

We lay down and she pops up "Whats wrong?" "Jack?" "Whats wrong?" "I can't." "You cant?" "  I can't be with you Jack." "Ashley please I said I was so sorry and I'll never get drunk again." "That's not it Jack. You don't remember hurting me. What if you don't remember cheating on me." "Ashley I would never cheat on you. I would never dream of it." "But you imagine you hurting me." "Well no." "But you did that." "I swear I was with Conor all night." "Well then call him." "Good idea."

I go upstairs and get my phone and come back down stairs and dial Conor's number and put him on speaker phone. He answers after three rings. "Hey con. I was wondering I with you the whole night right." "Um Jack you were with me most of the night." I look over at Ashley and see her inhale deeply and see a tear come down her face as I feel one roll down mine. "Conor what do mean by most." "Well um Jack at around twelve you left with some girl." Ashley let's out the breathe she'd been holding. And that's when I heard my heart break lirterally break.
