Toxic Devotion

Chapter 3: I'm not alone

Dylan's p.o.v

Mom came back home really late that night, so I asked her why and she said a girl from school lost her dad, she told me her name was ashley, ashley carter. That was the diary of the girl I found in history class, I was just curious and wanted to laugh a little. So I read a few pages of her diary...

'Dear diary,
All the make up in the world won't make me less insecure. I'm tired of hating myself for everything I'm not, from now on I'll stop caring. I'll no longer be this sad little girl who lost her mom, I'll start fresh, be someone new, leaving New Jersey means I'm leaving all the memories behind, I'll stop letting the past affect me so much, I hope I'll be happy in Cincinnati Ohio, but what I hope is I'll never cross path with a person like Angelo ever again. He was the reason why my dad had to spend a week in jail, for a crime he didn't even commit. Angelo was the one who stole the money, and he blamed my dad for it, I shouldn't have gone out with him. I had to realize that it was just to get back at Val my brother. I still don't understand what had really happened between Val and Angelo, but it must have been something terrible. I can't believe Im gonna write this but I should have listened to Val for once. But no I had to fall for Angelo. I came up with a resolution, love is painful, useless and overrated. I still can't get over the fact how people threw at me dirty looks. Calling me the daughter of a thief, and what hurts is my dad is nothing like that. Screw them all. My dad was never proven innocent. But we had to pay everything we own to get him out of there. And now, we're moving to Ohio, cause no one in Union city will ever look at me again. Angelo has officially destroyed my life and my reputation, I just hope nothing bad happens at the new school'

That girl has a dark past, but hey, it can't be darker than mine. And my past is something no one will ever understand, not that I care about people. But She seems pretty interesting...

Ashley's p.o.v

I didn't sleep all night. This was the longest night of my life, I didn't know there could be an end for a night like this. I didn't know I'll ever see the morning light ever again. Of course I wasn't going to school today. I can't bare that. Not that anyone would care. I lost my mom. I lost my dad. My brother still didn't come back. I'm alone.

Well that's what I thought, until someone knocked on the door. I walked slowly to open it, if it was Val, he either found out about dad, or no. I'm hoping it's Val. I need him right now. But to my shock it wasn't. It was Sarah.

'Hey' she said with a half smile. I'm guessing she knows?

I couldn't even think. I just needed someone right now.

'Hey' I said.

She got in and we sat on the couch.

'Aren't you supposed to be at school?' I asked.

'You need someone right now, cause yesterday your brother left so I thought you'd be alone and you can't be' she started.

'You really didn't have to Sarah' I said.

'Look we barely know each other, but I can't leave you, not like this' she said.

'My aunt Stephanie is supposed to come today, that's what the nurse said' I told her.

'Thats great' she said.

'I'm alone Sarah. How am I going to live like this? I asked her.

'You're not alone. You've got your aunt, me, and Your brother will be back' she said.

'What if I lose you guys too? I already lost my parents' I shook my head.

'You won't' she promised.

After about an hour someone knocked on the door. Is it Val?

I opened the door and was relieved to see my aunt, I instantly ran up towards her and hugged her.

'Its okay I'm here' she said trying not to cry.

Sarah refused to go to school, she even went with me to the funeral, those were the most depressing days of my life. It was like a recap of when my mother died. But the difference is I was much younger and I had Val with me.

A/N : I know how depressing those chapters are, but I promise next chapter will be fun!!
