Chapter 13

I felt like I was going to vomit.

Standing several feet away from me and Lucy. Was the boys. Brooke and Jordan was there. So was August and Aspen. But Daniel was on one knee. Jordan was squealing. Then they were hugging and kissing. I couldn't move. Brooke and Zach were kissing, Zach whispered something into her ear. She giggled. My heart had stopped beating. Tears flowing down. I felt Lucy say something. Then she was grabbing my arm and dragging me away.

I caught my breath a few blocks down. Me and Lucy had ran, we just ran. I got an Uber and we went to Kaffiene. The only place I knew to go.

We sat in a booth and cried. Sipping on coffee. I gulped, trying to dry my eyes. It then started to rain as soon as me and Lucy walked out of the coffee shop. We still had to wait 5 minutes for our Uber. "Just great." Lucy said, looking up angryly. "Let's take photos." I suggested. I grabbed a cute umbrella that was on the inside of the cafe. I ran into the street and Lucy took several photos of me. We then switched.

Once in the Uber, I flipped through them and quickly edited and posted my favorite.

GREYINGGRAYSON yeah, do you want to come to the warehouse?

ethal maybe get your mind off things?

that'd be lovely. me and Lucy will be there in an hour. ashleythehawtone


Gosh, the Dolans were always so sweet. I was glad I could call them my friends. I told Lucy and she agreed. Her eyes were still swollen from crying.

Once we got to the apartment, I immedatly ran to my room. I grabbed Harold and threw him in the back of my closet, hiding it behind clothes and boxes. I couldn't look at it anymore. I'd been sleeping with it, since Daniel got me him. But now all I see is Daniel. And I couldn't do it anymore. But I didn't have the guts or will to throw it off the balcony.

Me and Lucy had changed and we got into the Uber.

We arrived at the warehouse. Ethan and Grayson were waiting outside. Ethan quickly ran up to me and gave me a bear hug, swinging me around. Grayson was doing the same to Lucy. Once they had let us go. I said, grabbing a piece of Graysons hair, "Gray, looks like you might be greying. Might wanna dye your hair." He groaned, rolling his eyes. We all laughed and walked inside. Slipping off our shoes, me and Lucy ran for the foam pit.

After almost 5 hours of messing around, we left to go eat. I checked my phone. 5 messages from August, Christina had called, Aspen had called and messaged me 6 times. I quickly replied to Aspen.

ASSpen

augustlikethemonth i'm so sorry, can we meet for coffe tomorrow?? Just us??

augustlikethemonth c'mon ash, please?



yes okay, I'll see you 8 AM ashleythehawtone


I clicked my phone shut. "Ashley, do you want to talk about it?" Ethan had snuck up beside me. I jumped, "No.." I said quietly. He didn't do anything. He just grabbed my hand and squeezed. I smiled.

We stopped to eat at a Panera, the twins wanted to go to Chessecake, that was the last time I'd talked to Daniel. I couldn't bear going there again. Not just yet.

We walked in and ordered, then quickly sat down in a booth. Girls kept coming up to us. We smiled, took selfies. Soon it died down.

We were sitting, eating, chatting away. When I felt eyes on me, I looked up to the counter. Jonah and Jack stood ordering food. My breath caught in my throat. Lucy noticed and turned to look behind her. She quickly turned back around. Grayson and Ethan looked at both of us confused. I shoke my head. I glanced at them again. Jack was looking at me. He didn't move to come over, thank god. Jonah was now looking. He looked sad. They both did. I quickly looked away and stared at my salad.

Ethan glanced over at them, following my eyes. He glared and turned away. I sighed..

*1 year later*

After that day, my anixety worsened. I had lost a few of my bestfriends, Jonah, Jack, Corbean, and Daniel... We even didn't hang out with Logan much anymore. He's fans also asked where we were. People constantly pressured me about #DASHLEY... I almost fell into a depression. Lucy was almost just as bad as me. She would see Zach post about Brooke, and tweet about how in love he was. She eventually unfollowed him on everything. I couldn't, I couldn't click that button.

Me and August and Aspen still met at Kaffiene. Lucy never wanted to come anymore. It was really awkward at first there was a lot of crying and silence. But soon it became normal. They both dodged and danced around talking about the boys. They invited a boy named Eben to come with us one morning. Apparently he was a DJ. A pretty good one if I do say so myself.

Slowly, but surely I was becoming happy again. My heart was still broke, but it was putting itself back together. Until that one Monday........ A year after I saw them on the beach. If only I'd stayed in bed that morning....
