Say You Like Me

Chapter 5: I'm Only Human

Ash's P.O.V

Walking to school Monday morning with my brothers it was the same as always except Adrianna wasn't in front of us today, was she not coming to school? Should I have accepted her apology? No way she said no one cares about her but that isn't true. She wanted to die Saturday night and got mad at me for saving her. Of course I should be angry with her still! Finally getting to school I was greeted by Erica.

"HEY! What's up Ash?"

"Hey Erica." I said without much emotion.

"Aww is something wrong Ash?"

"No um want to come over tonight?"

"Sure." She said looking really happy. I needed to get my mind off of Adrianna.

Walking into P.E I was excepting to see Adrianna but she wasn't there, is it because I didn't forgive her? I wasn't able to stare at her beautiful bouncy curls today and for some odd reason that bothered me. Whatever she's a waste of my time anyway and I don't need a girl like her around she'll ruin my reputation. Besides she's only a sophomore, girls like Erica are girls for me. Right?

Finally getting home with Erica around four o'clock we went up to my bedroom. I opened my window to let fresh air in not bothering to even look at Adrianna's window. Erica began to walk over to me and wrap her arms around me, we use to date but then decided to just be the whole friends with benefits thing. Placing my hands on her neck I pulled her closer as she started to giggle.

"I've missed this you know, you never call me anymore, is it cause of that little sophomore I saw you hanging out with at my party?"

"Why would you think that? She just needed a ride home, she means nothing to me."

"I didn't ask you if she meant anything to you Ash." I started to tense up.

"I can tell she means something to you Ash, I can tell when you're lying." I just looked at her. She gave me a slow kiss on the cheek but seemed annoyed.

"I think you need time to think." She said before leaving and closing my bedroom door. I sat on my bed and hunched over with my hands rubbing through my hair. I tend to do it when I'm stressed. I mean does Adrianna mean something to me? I finally was ready to forgive her, I needed to see her again.

Adrianna P.O.V

Today has been one of the worst days of my life. My mom just got finished explaining to me that my dad has been lying to us. He's not been really working late. He's been having an affair. When my mother told me she could barley keep it together, as for me at first I had no emotions at all because I wasn't sure of what to think of it or how it was even possible. I thought my parents were in love and happy with each other it's hard to even imagine my dad doing this to not only my mom but also to me. He broke us.

I just sat in my room the majority of the day without any tv or music. Just silence, that's all like I felt I needed but down the hall I could hear my mothers sobs throughout the house and her heart breaking. None of us expected this from the one person that is suppose to protect us.

Ash's P.O.V

Hours had passed and it was already dark but I finally got the courage and walked over to Adrianna's and rang the doorbell. No one answered at first actually it took awhile for the door to even open. After what felt like forever Adrianna was soon in front of me. I looked down at her and saw that her eyes were puffy, red, and still watery. Adrianna's voice snapped me out of checking her out.

"What do you want Ash?" She said sniffling.

"Are you alright?"

"I don't know Ash, do I look alright?" She said sarcastically with attitude.
