Eternally Yours

Chapter Eleven

Chris' pov

After a week or so had gone by, Ashley and I had found a mental hospital to send me to. I felt a little nervous to go, but I wanted the voices to stop.

When the day came around for me to leave, I was upset. I had my bags packed, and I was waiting for Ash to come by so she could drive me to the place. I saw her car pull up and I walked outside, putting my bags in the back and getting in the passenger seat. Ashley smiled slightly at me, driving to the mental hospital.

Once we got to the hospital, a nurse led Ashley and I to the room I would be staying in. She told us that Ash could stay as long as she wanted to, but she had to leave before midnight.

After I had everything unpacked, Ash and I were sitting on the bed, talking quietly. We sat quietly for a few minutes, just looking at each other.

Ashley was the one to break the silence.

"Chris, I.. I have to.. There's something I need to tell you.." She said quietly. I nodded, watching her. "Go ahead." She bit her lip gently. "I.. Uh.. I've kinda.. Well.. Oh fuck it."

She cupped my face, pressing her lips against mine gently. I froze for a second out of surprise, but kissed her back softly. She was the first to pull away, leaning her forehead against mine. "I love you Chris.. More than a brother or a best friend.. But you don't feel the same.. And I understand.."

A single tear rolled down her cheek, and I wiped it away gently. "Ashley, why didn't you say something earlier?" I asked quietly. She just shrugged. "You love Ricky." She mumbled. I sighed quietly, watching her and kissing her forehead gently.

"I do love you, Ash. But I just.. I can't get over Ricky.. And.. I don't know why.." I explained quietly. She just nodded slightly. "I know.." I kissed the top of her head gently, holding her close to me. "I'm probably gonna be in here for a while. I want you to find somebody else. Somebody better. Somebody not messed up mentally like I am." She nodded again, burying her face in my shoulder.

I watched her, poking her sides gently. She squeaked and started giggling quietly, making me smiled. "There's that adorable smile. Hey, I heard that Craig dude at school has a thing for you. Maybe you and him could.. You know.." I trailed off, wiggling my eyebrows. She snorted, hitting my chest gently. "Dork." I grinned. "But you love me."

Ricky's pov

I was sitting on the floor, watching Ashley and Chris talk. I've known for a while how Ashley feels about Chris. I tried yelling at him to date her. I tried yelling at him to move on and forget about me. I tried.

"Chris, just date her!"
"Move on from me!"
"Fall in love with her!"

I tried. But Chris is stuck on me, and nobody is able to change it.
