Ashley's POV

I wake up, remembering everything that happened last night. The Kiss, Luke saying Mackenzie is doing this. And Mackenzie looking at me with those sad eyes saying she wanted to be alone. I don't know what's happening, but I think this could all be a mistake. I just hope this is a nightmare.

A horrible nightmare

But no, all of my life has to be a big mistake, everything.

I love my friends, I love my family, but when it always comes to therapy or boyfriends or self confidence, I hate myself.

I look to my right to see my window open. What?

I walk over to a ripped curtain, a note lying on the floor. I walk downstairs just to make sure I'm safe. Someone knocks on my door and I answer to it being Emily.

"Hello Ashley!" She says in a cheerful tone.

"Hey Emily."

"Hey Ashley! We haven't talked in a while so I stopped by to chat."                                                                                                                                                     "Come in, Calum seems very happy, I'm glad you guys are together, Michael loves this I bet"                                          .                                                                               

"Yeah, Calum takes care of me, I just Don't want to let go of Mikey, you know what I mean. I know when you and Ashton broke up 2 years ago it was hard for you."

I haven't even remembered mine and Ashtons relationship, we were perfect. It was me that ruined it.

"Yeah, I feel ashamed. But hopefully Niall will be the one. He is so kind and generous, but there is just something about him, and I don't want to ruin everything, he knows my story, and only people I truly love and trust know my story. Maybe you can help me with this thing. The case, Niall is helping me."

"Ashley, I would be delighted to. And what do you mean you feel ashamed after. what happened between you and Ashton. It wasn't your fault."

"Well, I felt as if I could've done something about it. I saw all the signs and knew he was cheating. The lipstick stains on his collar, the smell of perfume on him and the phone calls he always had to take outside. I should've worked it out with him. Maybe even left him myself. But no I had to catch him and a girl in my bedroom."

"Ashley you have to stop blaming yourself, it's okay, maybe he just wasn't the one for you. Everything that happens, happens for a reason."

"Emily, if I tell you something, you can't tell anyone. Not Niall for sure. I kissed Ashton visiting him in the hospital last night. He wants me back. I know this because I can just look at the sorrow in his eyes when he talks to me. I miss him myself, but I want Niall, not him. What happened will never leave my mind."            

"Ashley, stay with Niall, give him a chance and if it doesn't work out. Try to talk with Ashton and work it through. But before you actually be Niall's girlfriend, tell Ashton you are just not ready to be with him. I hope there is no drama, again."

"Ha, there already is with this stalker after me. And then the dinner with Luke accusing Kenzie, it's just unbelievable."

"Well I better go and get ready for work. Thanks for talking to me. I think we've caught up a bit and had some good times. See ya later, I''ll text you at work, might even call ya after." She says walking out the door. I'''ll just read the note at lunch break, whenever that is. I don't know if I can get use to the FBI thing.
