Ashton's POV

BRRRRING....BRRRRING....BRRRRI-

"hello?"

"Caroline! I'm freaking out...can you come over?"

"uh sure. you ok?"

"No! I just-"

no. don't start crying. keep it cool Ashton. Caroline would freak out. just because she your best friend doesn't mean she'd know what to do if you started sobbing.

I took a deep breath and pulled myself together, "can you please come over?"

"sure thing. I'll be over in ten."

"ok, bye."

"see ya."

I throw my face into my pillow. I don't know what it's going to be like there.

maybe he moved.

I hope he moved.

I had no friends there, none. I don't want to go back. I can't go back! everything was terrible there! everyone ignored me and blew me off like I was a speck of dust. all because of the music I'd listen to, the clothes I'd wear, and just the way I acted.

See, if I had changed the way I am over the two years I've lived here I wouldn't be as nervous but i haven't so that means the bullying is only going to keep happening and-

DING DONG

"I got it!" I ran downstairs and opened the door.

when Caroline saw me, a sympathetic smile spread across her face.

"wanna come inside?" I asked.

"sure."

we ran upstairs to my room and I sat on my bed and thought of how I was going to tell her.

"so..what's up?"

I looked up at her and tried not to melt down.

"well uhh..so my dad's job hasn't been going all that great and we uh." I threw my head into the palms of my hands. I took a deep breath.

"Caroline...I'm moving back to Las Vegas."

she sat down next to me and looked at me, "wait..what?"

"yeah." I looked back at her and frowned, "but I don't want to..at all!"

she gives me a hug. "have you told Daniel yet?"

Daniel is my other best friend. me and him have been through a lot and I don't plan on telling him just yet.

"well...no."

"you do realize if he finds out you told me this before him he'll be heartbroken." she cracks a smile.

I let a small smile slip.

"yeah I know," I look down at my black converse. "Hey, do you mind telling him for me? I don't know how I'd manage to tell him with out breaking down."

she puts her hand on my knee and looks at me, "if it makes you feel better, sure."

A big grin spreads across my face as I hug her, "Thanks Caroline. You're the best."

she shrugs and giggles, "Yeah, I know"

she breaks the hug and looks at me, "so wait, when are you leaving?"

"I have a feeling on Monday morning. so that gives us the whole weekend to hang out before I have to go back to Las Vegas." I try to bring the mood back up by smiling.

She smiles at me but I can tell that she's upset.

I nudge her, "what'ya say we go on a shopping spree all day tomorrow?"

immediately her smile gets bigger. "ash, you know I can't say no to that, being the typical white girl I am."

we both laugh. I look over at the clock on my nightstand, 10:56pm.

"It's getting kinda late, wanna sleepover?"

she nods excitedly.

"Great! you can borrow some pajama pants and a shirt. they're in the drawer on the left."

"thanks." she grabs the clothes and goes into the bathroom and changes.

I was already wearing pajamas so I laid back in my bed and stared at the ceiling. I sigh. just when my life starts getting better it has to go back to being terrible. I wish things could just work out for me, every once in a while at least. I close my eyes and press my hands to my face, trying to push all of my negative thoughts out of my brain.

it's not working. all I can think about is how my middle school bully and I are going to reunite and it's going to be 9th grade all over again!

the bathroom door opens and Caroline runs out and jumps on top of me giggling, immediately bring me back to earth.

"Ow! Caroline!"

Caroline rolls off of me and lays next to me. "Sorry!" she laughs and yawns, "ahh. goodnight ash."

I turn off my lamp and stare into darkness.

"Goodnight Caroline."

I'm really going to miss having friends.

{WELL. this is slowly getting better. I'm trying to speed up the process and just get her out of Michigan already! haha, anyways I'm going to try to post the next chapter later. but now I need to work on my other book. the struggle is real.
