Two Girls, One Heart.

Let's forget about it

I knew if I didn't answer she would probably get upset. I wiped my tears away and stand up, walking away from the door as I answer the call. Ashley's face appears with a cute little smile. I try to reciprocate the smile but she drops hers, probably being able to tell I was crying.
"Y/N? Baby what's wrong."
"Nothing Im fine Ash. How are you?"
"Don't avoid my question. What's wrong?"
"Ash it's nothing really." I try to convince her
  "Fine. If you won't tell me then I'm coming over." Ash says getting up from her couch.
  "No!"
  "Excuse me? Why the fuck not?"
  "Um because my house is just ..a mess."
  "Y/N I was just there."
  "Yeah...and now it's a mess."
  Ash gives me a suspicious look and I gulp and give her a half ass smile. I can tell this conversation was only getting worse. I try to think of a quick excuse, but nothing comes to mind. I sigh and look her in the eyes. "Ash I-"
  "Y/N, you know I care about you and would do anything for you. Please...please! Do not push me away." I let another tear fall at her words and sadly shake my head yes.
  "I'm sorry Ashley. I don't know why I've been down lately." I lie.
  "It's okay babe. Don't apologize. Would it be easier if you came over here?"
  "I think so."
  "Alright well you come here and I'll make you feel better okay?"
  "Okay." I say giving her a genuine smile this time. I told her I'd see her soon and I go back to the front door to leave. As I'm walking out I get another call from my best friend. His name is Rickey Thompson. Yes, he is the viner and I met him 5 years ago when I moved to LA. Ever since we met at a mutual's party we've been best friends. He is the funniest, sassiest , gay guy you'll ever meet. I answer his call as I get into my car and make my way to Ashley's house.
  "Hay girl hay. What's good?" He asks.
  "Oh uh...not much about you?"
  "Bitch do you think I was born yesterday... I know that tone in your voice."
I swallowed hard. I hadn't told anyone about what I had done yet. But I know it's eating me alive inside and Rickey is the only person I can trust with this information.
"Rickey I...I"
"T-t-t- today junior!"
"RICKEY IM CHEATING ON ASHLEY WITH LAUREN JAUREGUI!" I blurt out as I start to cry again. I will admit it does feel good to let it out though. There is a long silence before Rickey speaks.
"Um...bitch wat?"
"You heard me. You know I'm so deeply in love with Ashley and I can't loose her. But when Lauren and I met a few days ago I couldn't help myself. And now I feel like I'm in love with both of them."
"What...the actual fuck Y/N."
"Don't okay. I know I'm a piece of shit but like I said I can't lose Ashley. I love her too much. But I can't say no to Lauren." The more I let out the more I started to calm down and stop crying.
"Have you did anything with Lauren yet?"
"Well um..."
"No way."
"Yup."
"YOU ARE FUCKING HALSEY AND LAUREN FROM FIFTH HARMONY. HOW YOU FEEL?"
"LIKE SHIT RICKEY STOP."
"Alright, alright. Look you know your tea is safe with me boo."
"I know...thank you. I realize how wrong I am but I don't think I can confess quite yet."
"The only thing I have to tell you is watch your back. I mean Ashley and Lauren are somewhat friends. This could get real fuckin ugly real fast."
"I know...you're right. Well I'm at Ashley's house now so...let's meet up soon. I need sometime with my best friend."
"You already know bitch. Just let me know when. Have fun with your main hoe!"
"Rickey!" I hear him laugh then hang up. He's such an asshole, but I love him.
I get out of my car and walk right into Ashley's considering I practically live here too. I walk into the living room where I find Ashley with the rest of the household. I greet them all and walk over to Ash and place a quick peck on her lips. She smiles and pats the spot next to her on the sofa. They were watching Shameless, of course. About 40 minutes in and Ashley gets a notification on her phone. She looks at it and giggles as she quickly responds.
"Who is that?" I ask, thinking nothing of it.
"It's Lauren haha." Oh dear God help me. My eyes widen big.
"Wh-who?" I know I'm fake as fuck.
"Lauren baby. Lauren Jauregui. The one I have featured on my album."
"Oh...right. What did she say?"
"Nothing really. Just that she heard our song on the radio."
"Ha..haha cool."
"You're a music producer Y/N. How do you not know who Lauren Jauregui is?" Paige asked laughing a bit.
"Well Paige I have better things to do with my day then be a social media whore all day like some people." I reply sarcastically.
"Hey! You're just jealous because I'm the queen of social media." She jokes back.
"Nah I think you're talking about this girl right here." I say pinching Ashley's cheek, making her blush and smile.
"Yeah true. She is." Paige responds.
We continue to watch the show for a few more minutes before I get a text notification. I pull out my phone and look to see who it is. Shit.
