Toxic Devotion

Chapter 4: The diary thief

Ashley's p.o.v

I didn't go to school for three days, and what's surprising is that Val didn't come home yet, that means he still doesn't know that dad passed away. I couldn't be more mad at him right now. I am so ignoring him, that is if he shows up.

Sarah is practically forcing me to go to school today, not that I want to, but she's right I need to go back and get my mind off things. I put on some clothes on and went downstairs.

(The picture above describes what ashley was wearing)

But what makes me relieved was that my aunt is here, there's an adult looking out for me, and taking care of the house, and I was thankful for that.

'Morning ashley' Stephanie smiled.

'Hey Steph' I greeted her.

'Do you want me to take you to school today?' She asked.

'No I'll go walking' I said, 'the school is really close don't worry' I continued.

'Are you sure?' She asked concerned.

'Ill be fine Steph' I nodded.

I took my bag before going outside, I was walking peacefully before I heard someone calling my name.

'Ashley!'

I turned around and saw Dylan Good, the guy I had a fight with in the hallway, oh yeah and Liam smith defended me....Liam. I snapped out of my day dream and gave him an awkward look.

'Yeah?' I asked.

'So you're ashley carter?' He asked.

'Um yeah, I figured you knew since you called my name' I raised my eyebrows at him.

'Im just making sure..you're the girl who so rudely bumped into me right?' He smirked.

'Still didn't move on? Cry.' I said, now it was my turn to smirk.

'Feisty' he winked at me, I turned around and started walking again, he caught up with me.

'So did you lose anything recently?' He asked. Ugh what is up with him?

'No' I said.

'Yeah you did' he replied.

'What?' I asked.

'Your diary' he laughed. Shit. I just remembered.

'If you knew I lost it why were you even asking?' I shook my head.

'Just wanted to tease you' he said.

'Well, now is not the time, and how do you know I lost it?' I asked annoyed.

'Because I have it' he chuckled.

'Give it to me' I stopped walking and glared at him.

'Why would I do that?' He questioned.

'Because it's mine, and, wait did you read it?' I asked hoping no.

'Only a few pages' he shrugged.

'You're invading my privacy you dumb fuck!' I yelled.

'No I'm not, I'm just getting to know you better' he said.

'You're such an idiot! I'm going right now to the principal's office!' I told him.

I walked faster before he grabbed my wrist and turned me around so I'd be facing him.

'You won't' he said sounding confident.

'And how are you so sure of that?' I asked.

'Because if you do, your diary will be online, for everyone to see' he smirked.

I was about to slap him but he grabbed my arm.

'I wouldn't do that if I were you darling' he drawled.

'Screw you!' I yelled before running to school.

I was going to cry, but I didn't. I need to find someone to help me get out of this situation. Or maybe it's not worth it anymore? What if he read everything? I don't think so cause it's longer than the great American novel.

I found Sarah and told her what just happened.

'I told you that guy is messed up, and a stalker' she sighed.

'What do we do?' I asked.

'We can't tell the principal, since he said he will put your diary online...I know!!!!' She squealed at the end of her phrase.

'what?!' I asked her excited.

'Lets break in his house and find something against him!' She said.

'Wow you're crazy!' I said shaking my head.

'Got another plan?' She asked.

'Nope' I said popping the p

She crossed her arms.

'Fine' I sighed.

'Since his mom knows you, go and ask her for advice about something, while I break in his room' I continued.

We were both giggling when miss Eliane came outta nowhere.

'What are you both doing here!? Get to class immediately' she said.

'Sorry' we both said at the same time.

'Jinks' I said.

'Personal jinks, you owe me a soda!' Sara laughed.

'GIRLS!' Miss Eliane yelled so we both ran to class.
