Toxic Devotion

Chapter 16: Ashley vs Dylan

Ashley's p.o.v

I left Sarah's house early in the morning and went back home, I wanted to have breakfast with Stephanie cause we didn't talk for a while.

'So tell me, what's up?' She asked.

'Well, Sarah and I want to go to London for a month' I told her.

She raised her eyebrows.

'A month?' She asked.

'Yeah' I said.

'A month is a lot of time, even if you think it's nothing. I mean, are you sure? It would be the first time you'd travel without me, or Val' she said.

'I know Steph, but I just need to get away, from April, from their gang problem, I don't wanna fail my senior year because of that' I told her.

'You're right, but I'm worried, I can't send you there, with only Sarah by your side, I mean two 16 year old girls' she shook her head.

'objection, Sarah is 17 turning 18 soon' I explained.

'Whats the difference?' She rolled her eyes.

'We're mature, and, we can take care of ourselves' I promised.

'Is this trip about studying over there for a month?' She questioned.

'Yes, I can give you the principle's number' I said.

'Why didn't you tell me before' she sighed.

'I take that as a yes?' I smiled.

'Ill talk to the principle first, get all the details, and I'll give you my answer tonight' she said.

'Thats cool' I said.

My phone was ringing so I ran towards the living room to get it. It was Dylan, I frowned before answering.

'Yeah Dylan' I answered.

'Ashley' he said. Ugh his voice made me shiver. GET A GRIP! I thought to myself.

'Hey, so what's up?' I asked.

'Nothing really, just thought you were bored and wanted to hang out' he replied.

'Well, I would be really desperate if I wanted to hang out with you' I teased.

'Oh really?' He asked. I can seriously imagine his face looking offended.

'Im just kidding Dylan, don't cry' I smirked even though he couldn't see me.

'Ouch, you hurt my feelings so bad' he uttered.

'Anyways, Im going to the gym with Sarah to work out for a while, but um, if I finish early I'll call you and we could do something' I told him.

'Alright' he said before hanging up.

I wore my jacket before opening the door. I jumped.

'You scared me!' I told Val.

'Hello to you too' he chuckled.

'Gotta go love you' I smiled.

'Where are you going?' He asked.

'To the gym, I'm gonna work out with Sarah for a while' I replied.

'Want me to come with you?' He raised his eyebrow.

'No Val, I'm good' I playfully rolled my eyes.

'Take care' he kissed my cheek before I left.

Once I got there I saw Sarah wasting no time, she was lifting some weights and doing squats.
