"Wait! Ash-!" I tried to reach out for her, but she slammed the door in my face.
'What's wrong with you, Hunter?! Can't you do anything right?' Man, could I torture myself.
As I knotted my hands in my curls, I roamed aimlessly until I ended up in front of the bathroom I found Ash in earlier. I let myself in and closed the door behind me. The second I clicked the lock, I escaped from the outside world. I sat down with my back against the door and pulled up the camera roll on my phone. I scrolled between pictures of me and Ash, and pictures of me and Marissa.
'Ash and I look better together, but I like Marissa. At least I think I do...'
Just then, something fell onto my phone screen.
"What the-? Oh..."
I had started crying and I didn't even notice.
'You're too sensitive, Hunter. Man up.' I'd been told those words, and many others like them, on plenty of occasions. They stuck in my brain and repeated themselves like a broken record until I couldn't handle it anymore. But no one had ever noticed. I guess I was really good at hiding my hurt and my insecurities. I had been fine for a while, so why was it happening again? All I know is that whoever said "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" had never dealt with that problem. Because, honestly, they definitely do hurt.
I tossed my phone to the side and buried my face into my knees. I let myself cry, even though I felt so pathetic doing it.
Yet again, my mind traveled back to how rude and idiotic I had acted earlier. 'I NEED to apologize to Ash before it's too late...but what if I am already too late?! WAIT-what if I ruined our friendship?!' Then the harsh words came back. 'GOSH, you're so stupid, Hunter. Hopefully, it did ruin your friendship so she doesn't have to deal with you, idiot. She deserves so much better than you.' I felt another tear slip down my face. 'Why am I such a wimp?'
I don't know how long exactly I had been sitting there, but a little bit later I was jolted back to reality by the sound of footsteps coming from out in the hallway. The noise got closer until someone jiggled the doorknob and a voice called out to me.
