I felt a single tear fall from my eyes. "Um.. I-i need to go.. I'll catch up with you later.." And with that I left Luke's house and went home. Is this what it feels like to be In love..? Cry all the time..?
--
I just laid there on my bed crying all day and all night. I tried to avoid her at all costs, even though it was killing me.
-
"Ashton.. Will you stop ignoring me..? I've called you a hundred times.." "I just need to be left alone please Shaniya..." I closed my locker and felt another tear fall on my hand. I never knew I had this many tears to cry.
-
Shaniya-
I knew something was wrong.. He hasn't called me Shaniya in 5 years.. We always went to each other when we had a problem.. And I was the only person he wouldn't talk to. "Hey you okay..?" I didn't realize I was crying until Skyla asked me if I was okay.. I quickly wiped my tears away, smiled and walked into class just as the bell was ringing.
-
I seen Ashton walking down the corridor to the music room. I couldn't help but follow him. He was singing "Trying not to love you" By Nickelback. "Beautiful voice you got there.."
Ashton-
Niya caught me off guard and I jumped a little. I got up and tried walking out the door. "Stop this Ash.. Quit ignoring me.." I pushed her hand away. "Just leave me alone okay?!"
--
"It's like she's got me wrapped around her finger or something.. I just keep falling for her. And all it's doing is tearing me down.. All he does is use her and I cant be there to see him do it anymore.." "Bro.. She's your best friend.. You can't just abandon her like that.. She needs you, and clearly you need her."
Niya-
I knew it was wrong, but I over heard their conversation without meaning to. It was just too much .. I've lost my best friend..
--
The only thing I could do to clear my mind was play football. I went to Luke's and got CJ .. "Wanna come play a pick up game..? Could use the company right now.." "Yeah(:"
--
We eventually got a group of people to play. It was different playing without Ashton. This time it was Brayden. "GAME ON. SET! HIGHT!" I hiked the ball to CJ and Jayden intercepted and I got tackled by Brayden. As soon as I hit the ground I started crying. "DAMN BRAYDEN! You didn't have to hurt her!" Everyone yelled at him. Isaiah helped me up.. "Guys chill.. I just got caught off guard. Let's finish this."
-
It was going on 10pm. We decided to call it a night. "Shay.. Can we talk..?" I looked back and seen Jayden talking to me. "You good.. What happened out there..?" "I've just been a mess lately.. Ashton won't talk to me, Alecs been a dick, Jay and Sky are always out doing shit. I Just kinda don't have anyone." "I'm sure Ash will come around, and you always got me and Brayden, you've got the whole team.." "Yeah i guess you're right.. It's just I've been having fall outs with my dance teammates.. I just kinda wanna drop out." "Don't do that.. Just Don't give up.. He'll come around.. He is your best friend after all.."
-
Ashton-
It's been a month since I stopped talking to Shaniya.. It's only gotten worse.. She's been slacking at practice and in school. She's benched for the homecoming game, and it's all my fault. "Yo. Ash.. You coming ..?" "I'm gonna stay and rehearse... Yknow get caught up.. Take my mind off shit.."
-
Shaniya-
I heard someone singing at Ashton's house. It turned out to be him.. He doesn't usually sing or play the guitar.. The only thing that was running through my head was hearing the words he was singing.. "Cause trying not to love you, only goes so far Trying not to need you, is tearing me apart"
-
I seriously didn't know how to feel or what to think.. It was only killing me more and more. He was putting his drum kit and guitars away, so I took the chance and climbed his fence and through his bed room window. It's just a little thing we always did. We'd always sit there and talk and I wont move until I made sure it happened.
Ashton-
I put the equipment away and went upstairs when i heard someone climb through my window. This time I had no way of getting out. I opened my door and there she was. "You can't keep running from me. Not here, not now. You can't just shut me out and not tell me why!" She was crying this time "It's not that easy.." "I'm not leaving until we talk this out."
-
It's been 45 minutes and we've gotten nowhere. "Niya.. Please I just need to be left alone.." "No. I'm not leaving you alone. I'm not gonna abandon you like you did to me. I will stay here all day and all night until we talk." She really wasn't lying. She hasn't moved since then.. About 20 minutes later, I looked over and she was asleep. I carried her and laid her on my bed. I grabbed a blanket and laid on the floor.
Shaniya-
I woke up on Ashton's bed. Clearly we got no where. He was asleep on the floor. I climbed out the window and went home. "I can't do this Cason. I can keep fighting with you." I looked through the window and seen my parents standing there yelling at each other. I didn't want to be there. I climbed my window and grabbed my board and rode to the skatepark.
-
"Hey why were you in Ashton's room last night..?" "I just tried to talk to him.. And I guess it didn't work. We always made a pact that neither of us would leave without talking about our problems.. We both kinda broke it." The bell rang and I went to class. After 4th hour I went to the field and had a one on one pick up game with CJ while we talked about shit.
-
"That's fucked up Alec. She didnt do shit to you.." I heard Alec and Colton talking. "You need to tell Niya Or I will." I got closer to them. "Tell me what?" "It doesn't matter.. Just go." "I'm not leaving until you tell me."
Colton-
"Go on Tell her Alec. Grow some balls, Tell her the truth." Everyone went silent. "Not so tough are you?" I seen Alec throw a punch at me. Thank god I dodged it. Niya jumped on Alec and pulled him away. "What's wrong with you two?! Seriously.. Just tell me what happened?" "He- your little boyfriend here- went off and fucked poor innocent Emily last night." "I-is it true Alec ..?" He just stood there "I need to go..." "Babe- it wasn't even like that.. I was drunk.." "Being drunk isn't always an excuse. It doesn't always work.." I turned around and ran off and bumped into Ashton just like the first day I met him. "Uh .. Sor-" I looked up and seen him and ran off. "Niya wait! I'm sorry!"
