—————————

It's been one day since Axel broke up with me. Mikey was watching and when Axel drove away came and got me. He booked us in to a hotel since neither of us are going home. It still hurts like hell. Mikey said it was the right thing to do and that I should be proud of myself for coming clean. But I'm so far from proud. I'm ashamed that I let him love someone who doesn't exist.
Axel knows, now Alice and Sage need to....

•••••••••

Mikey opens the blinds in my hotel room and I groan, covering my eyes.
"Mikeyyyy."
"Aspeennnn! Get up lazy ass. You have to go to school." He pulls my covers off me. I sit up and look at him. He looks better, his eyes are less bloodshot and he doesn't seem high or drunk. I grin and throw myself at him.
"Thank you, Mikey! You're getting better!" He hugs me back.
"Seeing you so upset these past few days has made me realise that I need to be there for you. No more drugs or alcohol." He smiles. I kiss his cheek and walk to the bathroom. I close the door. I pause, then open it again.
"I have no clothes..." Mikey rolls his eyes.
"We'll go shopping after school. Just wear your jeans. I'll get you one of my shirts." I smile at him as he walks to his bag. He pulls out a grey, baggy t shirt.
I grimace a bit.
"Sorry, it's all I've got." Mikey says. I shake my head.
"It's fine. Thanks, Mikey." I smile and close the bathroom door.

I pull on the jeans and the shirt. The shirt is nearly down to my knees and like 4 sizes to big. I sigh. I look a mess. My eyes are puffy and red and my cheeks are stained with tears. I don't have any makeup or hair products.
"Ughhh. I'm screwed!" I mutter.
I pull my hair into a ponytail. I only have one hair tie, otherwise I'd make an effort and do braids.
I take one last glance in the mirror and exit the bathroom.

•••••••••••••
"You'll be fine!" Mikey assures me as we pull up at my school. I groan.
"Look at me! This is not the Aspen Tate the whole school know!" I exclaim.
"Aspen. Go. You'll be fine. I'll be waiting for you after school." Mikey shakes his head, obviously amused. I roll my eyes and climb out of the car.
"If I die of embarrassment, it's your fault." I sass before slamming the door and strutting inside the school.

••••••••••
"Is that Aspen James?"
"Eww what is she wearing?"
"She looks a mess!"
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed."
"It's about her and Axel. Have you heard?"
"Yeah apparently she cheated."

These are just a few of the things I heard this morning. Alice rushed over to me as soon as she saw me. But Sage rolled her eyes and stalked off.
"Ohmigosh! Aspen! I heard about Axel! A lot of people, including Sage, think you cheated. I don't believe that. You wouldn't do that to anyone." She wraps her arms around me.
"Thanks, Al. I didn't cheat on him." She nods.
"I know, hun. What happened to your wardrobe?" She asks. I groan.
"Parent problems, Mikey and I stayed a hotel, didn't think to bring clothes. Didn't want to wear Axels jersey so I have Mikeys shirt." I say, over school already. She nods.
"I would lend you some clothes, but I took the spare ones out of my locker. Sorry." She frowns. I shake my head.
"It's fine. Let's get to class and get today over with."

•••••••••••
At lunch, I decide to skip the cafeteria and sit outside. I'm walking to the oval when I bump into someone. I looked up and gulp. Axel. He steps away.
"I- Uh. Sorry." He glances at my outfit and walks away. I sigh and walk outside.

The rest of the day goes pretty much the same, and I bolt out of the school and dive into Mikeys car as soon as the bell rings.
