Toxic Devotion

Chapter 29: Is she still in your memory?

Ashley's p.o.v

For once, everything felt normal. Sarah, tyler, max, Dylan and I were in school and currently in pe class.

'Okay, the girls go to the right, and the boys to the left' the coach said.

'Sexist!' Sarah opposed.

'Shut up Johnson!' Coach roared.

'Coach don't diss my girlfriend' tyler glared at him.

'I don't wanna hear your voice Clark' coach answered coldly as tyler gave a warm smile to Sarah who was now blushing.

'Today we're gonna be practicing your skills with high jump' the coach declared.

'Oh shit' I mumbled.

'Thank god I'm not doing it' Sarah smirked as I playfully rolled my eyes.

'Okay max you go and hold the left pole while tyler holds the right one, in case someone falls and breaks everything' coach ordered.

'I don't want you to land on max' Dylan whispered.

'Don't scare me Dylan I won't' I told him.

'What if you do?' He whispered again.

'Are you saying I'm gonna embarrass myself?' I whisper yelled as Dylan simply shrugged.

'Carter your turn c'mon I don't have all day!' Coach yelled standing next to max.

I took a deep breath before I ran and tried jumping, but instead of landing on max like Dylan predicted, I landed on coach as he held me with both my arms, before I fell backwards on the mat with him trying to lift me back up. The whole class was laughing as I embarrassed myself. Max facepalmed and tyler bit his Bottom lip. Dylan and Sarah on the other hand were laughing their asses off.

After school, Sarah went home to rest before her operation, and I went back home as well. As usual, the trio was there. Val, Lucas and Nicole.

Stephanie called us all to the kitchen.

'Oh my god you cooked your famous pasta!' I squealed.

'I know you love it' she winked at me.

'Why is it always Ashley's favorite food' Val complained.

'Aw Val you're jealous?' Nicole teased.

'No I'm not coco' Val smirked.

'You know I hate that nickname' Nicole frowned.

'Yeah well it suits you' Val laughed.

'No it doesn't' she argued.

'Im in love with the coco' Val sang.

'You're mean' nicole crossed both her arms on her chest.

'You two look like an old married couple' Lucas shook his head.

'Lucas you're such a dad' I said.

'What' Lucas laughed.

'You're like the father in the group, like the wisest' I explained.

'Yeah I'm the brain' he winked.

'Ashley, go and call Dylan he's in his room' Steph said. 'Dinner is getting cold' she added.

'Okay' I agreed.

Dylan has been living with us after what happened to his house, well, it feels so awesome that my boyfriend lives with me..but the thing is I can't stay alone with him in the house with steph and Val always watching over me.

I knocked on the door, but Dylan didn't answer. So I casually walked in, and heard the water running in the bathroom so he was probably showering.

I saw how scattered the room was, and there were boxes on his bed. Me being curious as always I went to see what's in there. A gun..bullets..and pictures?

There was a picture of young Dylan, tyler, and in between them a young brunette. That's when I realized it must be Mia, but I wasn't sure.

The door opened revealing Dylan simply with a towel wrapped around his waist, and damn, he looked so hot with his hair wet. I couldn't help but stare at his amazing body.

'You're drooling' he smirked.

'No' was all I managed to say.

'It's a bit hot in here don't you think?' I asked being the awkward person I was.

'You think it's hot?' He raised his eyebrows.

'Anyway, dinner's ready, so hurry up before steph kills us' I informed him changing the subject.

Dylan walked towards me and stared down at me. Now we were really close.

'What's for diner?' He asked.

'Pasta' I replied.

'Id rather have you instead' he chuckled.

'Dylan!' I yelled. 'What you said was so disturbing on so many levels!' I facepalmed as he bursted out laughing.

'I told you, I like seeing you uncomfortable' he winked.

'I wanted to ask you, who's that girl in the photos?' I questioned.

'Ashley why are you going through my stuff?' He asked pissed off.

'Dylan I just came here and it was on the bed so I took a look, that's it' I explained.

'Doesn't give you the right to invade my privacy' he retorted.

'Says the guy who stole my diary!' I sassed.

'That happened at the beginning of the year, you idiot!' He shrugged.

'Whatever, fat pig' I glared at him.

'Bitch' he mumbled.

'Manwhore' I muttered.

'Fucktard' he cussed.

'Dodie!' I yelled.

'What?' He raised his eyebrows.

'Dodie was a dragon in winx, and that's you' I said proudly.

'You are such a kid' he spat.

'Yet you're going out with me' I smirked.

'Stop that' he sighed.

'You know what, you might be stronger than me physically, but I can beat you up here' I laughed pointing at his head.

'You're delusional if you think that' he rolled his eyes.

'Oh shit, I forgot about diner' I facepalmed.

'Oh right, by the way, that girl was Mia' he confessed.

'Thought so..why do you have the pictures?' I asked.

'Just a memory' he sighed.

'Dylan, I trust you, you know that. I understand you wanna keep souvenirs..but promise me one thing, it's me you love right, and you don't like her anymore?' I said just making sure.

'Its you I love ashley of course, those pictures are old, besides there's only one picture of her, the rest is only the gang' he answered.

'I trust you' I told him again.

'Ashley and Dylan, diner now!!' Val roared outside the room.

'Okay we're coming' I yelled.
