Ashtons POV:

WOMMP WOMMP WOMMP

I slam down on my alarm clock missing the snooze button and pushing it off of my nightstand.

I groan, "seriously..?" I throw a book at it only to push the clock farther from me.

"Kill me now."  I get up and turn off the alarm. the clock reads 5:35am. I yawn and sit against the wall.

"well," I say quietly, "todays the day." I roll my eyes slightly.

I stand up and grab the Blink-182 tshirt and black skinny jeans I laid out last night, then walk into the bathroom.  I look at my reflection in the mirror. I look like a wreck. I brush through my turquoise hair. I probably should've gotten my hair dyed to brown again. I bet its against dress code. whatever, i'll just wear a sweatshirt and put my hoodie up. I brush my teeth, do my make-up, and by the time I finish its 6. 

I get dressed and slide on my new pair of converse. I grab my suitcase and my backpack with my phone and stuff in it and walk downstairs.

"Good morning sweetie! how'd you sleep?" How can my mom possibly be this full of energy at 6 in the morning?!

I shrug and make myself a bowl of cereal.

The kitchen table has already been moved out of our house so I lay my suitcase on its side and sit down. I look down at my cereal. Ah, who am I kidding! I cant eat. My stomach is freaking out. I'd throw up. and trust me, thats not how I want to start the day off.

I look up at my mom, "so, when are we leaving?"

She glances at the clock on the microwave, "err, I think at about 6:30ish?"

I nod. "So we have 15 minutes or so to kill." I empty my cereal in the sink and I walk into, what once was my living room, and sat down against a wall. I take out my phone. might as well tell Daniel i'm moving. This is not going to end well.

A: Hey dani. Youre probably still asleep considering its 6:15 in the morning on a sunday. anyways, i'm moving back to Las Vegas today and I just wanted to say i'm going to miss you.

I throw my phone across the room. I am officially the biggest bitch on the face of the earth. I cant believe I only just now told him. Sure, it seemed like it'd be easier to tell him at the last minute, but now that I did I feel awful. I mean, I guess it's better than having Caroline do it for me. Speaking of which, I need to tell her later that I told him.

I rest my head against the wall when all of a sudden my phone buzzes.

No it's not Daniel. Don't worry Ash. It's probably just one of those annoying notifications from an app.

I crawl across the room and look at my phone.  

1 new message from: Daniel Craven

"why is he awake..?"

I unlock my phone and read.

D: God Damnit Ashton! Why'd you wait and tell me this right before you leave? How long have you known that you were moving? I can't believe this.

I can only imagine how hurt he is.

A: I'm really sorry. I should've told you. And I just found out on Friday. Its ok.

a minute later he responds.

D: You waited 2 fucking days to tell me this?! oh and let me guess, you told Caroline before me!

A: I did tell her. I called her and told her to come over right when I found out.

D: I can't believe this. I fucking can't. Sometimes I feel like you don't even consider me as a friend. Well you know what Ashton Shepherd?! I fucking love you. i've always loved you. So when you told me that you were moving TODAY it felt like you ripped out my heart. when you told me you told Caroline before me, you took my heart stood on top of the empire state building and dropped it. So I hope you like living in Las Vegas. Because i'm glad you're fucking gone.

oh my god. when has Daniel started liking me? Now I feel even worse.

"Ashton! its time to go!" Great..

A: Im really sorry Daniel. I gtg.

D: whatever.

I stand up and walk back into the kitchen and grab my stuff. I walk outside to the car.

"here sweetie," My dad holds his hands out, " i'll put your luggage in the trunk." I put my suitcase in his hands and smile. I can tell he knows that this is a rough time for me. But right now, a simple smile wont help.

I can't believe this. we're moving. my bestfriend just told me he loved me. and It's only 6:30! I'm hoping this is just all one big dream. 

wake up Ashton. You're having a nightmare.

{ Okay, i'm literally going to start working on the next chapter once I publish this one!
