Army of Love and Hate

Chapter 6 - He's Gone

"Ashley! Ashley!" I heard as I was being shook awake.

"What?" I grumbled as I opened my eyes to see Austin standing there holding a my cell phone.

"Its Isaiah! Hurry pick it up!" He yelled as he shoved the phone at me.

Me: Isaiah?!?

Isaiah: Yeah.

Me: Oh my gosh! I miss you so much!

Isaiah: Same here.

I sat the for a couple moments wondering why he didn't say he missed me too, all I got was "Same here." that wasn't like Isaiah, I could tell something was up.

Me: What?

Isaiah: I said 'same here.'

Me: What?!?

I said again. I clearly heared what he said but I couldn't beleive it. Why wasn't he saying he missed me too? This is so unlike him.

Isaiah: Ashley, is your hearing ok? I said SAME HERE.

He said emphisising the Same and the Here.

Me: No. My hearing is fine. Whats up with you?!? You never say "Same here"'you always say I miss you too, or I love you too. What has gotten into you?

Isaiah: Ashley, my life here is different. I met so many new people.

Me: oh, is that right.?!

Isaiah: Yeah, and I do miss you. Its been a long hard couple of days.

Me: Well, you just need to make sure you have your things straight before you scare me like that again.

Isaiah: Ashley, there is something I need to tell you.

Me: What is it babe?

Isaiah: No.

Me: No what?

Isaiah: No, don't call me that!

Me: Why?

I could feel tears pricking at the back of my eyes but I wasn't willing to let them out.

Isaiah: Ashley....

Me: You don't even call me sunshine anymore.You always do!

Isaiah: Ashley! I'm sorry. I've...

Me: You've what?!?

Isaiah: I met another girl. She's really nice.

Me: Oh, Is she now!?!

Isaiah: Ashley, just give me two seconds to explain!

Me: Isaiah, you should've told me.

Isaiah: I know, but we can still be...

Me: Isaiah, don't even go there.!

Isaiah: I'm sorry Ash...

Me: No, your not.

Isaiah: Ashley, I'm breaking up with you.

Me: what?

That very moment my tears broke loose falling down my face. Austin noticed and ran over to me to see what was up, meanwhile Isaiah continued.

Isaiah: Not because your making comments, but because I can't go on liking two girls.

Me: So...

Before I could finish my sentence my knee's gave up and I fell to the floor crying.

Isaiah: I'm sorry Ash...

Me: No. Don't talk to me. Ever! I don't care if I ever get to see you again. Go ahead and die!

I was shocked at my own words. I couldn't beleive what I just said.

"Ashley whats wrong?!?" Austin asked bringing me to my feet. I handed the phone over to him and I laid down on the bench on our back porch. "Isaiah? What did you do?!? You son of a Bitch?!?" Austin insisted for an answer.

"Austin? Look I can't take liking two girls." Isaiah snapped back.

"You didn't....Isaiah you asshole!!! How could you?!? You've liked Ashley longer than anyone else you know. You can't just fucking leave her for months and then break her heart.!." Austin screamed.

"Well, I just did!!! So don't play me like you've never broke her heart before you Ass!" Isaiah snapped and slammed the payphone back on its stand.

"He's gone." Austin said as he handed me back my phone. I sat up and took it from him and threw it at a tree. He sat down beside me and wrapped me in a warm gentle hug. My tears kept flowing from my eyes, intill I was soon fast asleep on his lap.
