A few months had gone by and you had thought Ashton was cheating on you. ‘No, of course he wouldn’t, he loves me’ you thought to yourself as you walked around the mall with your best friend. She had looked slightly guilty but you had just shrugged that off. Once you got home, you got a phone call that broke your heart into pieces. You sat patiently waiting downstairs for Ashton to come home. Once he walked through the door, he smiled at you. “Hey babe,” he waited for your response, but you never said a word. He came into the front room, looking at you. “What’s wrong?” he sat on the sofa opposite you. "My best friend?! My fucking best friend?!" You screamed and started to throw anything that was in reach of your hands. "Of anyone to do it with you cheated on me with my best friend?!" You tugged at your hair and stared at the two of them. You were hurt, angry, frustrated, and betrayed. "I loved you, I gave you everything and you just threw that away just like that. How could you?" You asked Ashton as he looked down at the ground, ashamed. You turned your attention to Eleanor and she just looked at you with tears falling down her cheeks. "I've known you for my whole life and you went and back stabbed me. Not only did you ruin our friendship, but you ruined my relationship with the first guy I have ever loved. I hate you so much. I hate both of you." You shook your head, trying not to cry in front of them. You were angry and you didn't want to cry, not now. "I hope you're happy. You've ruined two things in my life that made me happy. I guess you can go on with your lives now and do whatever the fuck you want, just don't include me because I don't want to see either of you ever again." "Brie, I'm sorry!" Ashton pleaded, trying to reason with you about the cheating incident. You shook your head and tears began to fall down from your eyes effortlessly. "No, if you were sorry you wouldn't have done it!" You screamed at him and he grabbed onto your arms, looking into your eyes. "It was an accident! I didn't mean to it just happened!" You shook your head in disbelief. Everything that was coming out of his mouth was just a load of crap. "Oh, so you accidentally put your penis into someone else’s vagina? You don't accidentally do that, Ashton! That's just not an accident!" You jerked your arms out of his grip and he sighed angrily, running his fingers through his hair. "I was drunk! I already fucking told you that!" Now it was his turn to yell. You rolled your eyes at him. He was unbelievable. "You can't use the excuse you were drunk. That's stupid. I know you when you're drunk and you have control over what you're doing. You know exactly what you're doing. You knew exactly what you were doing when you took that girl back here and you knew exactly why you took her back here," more and more tears fell from your eyes and you ignored them, "But I guess you didn't remember I also live here, and you didn't remember that I sleep in that bed. You didn't think to remember those things because you're an idiot and a cheater and I never want to see you again!" You rushed out of the apartment you two shared and walked down the hallway, wiping your tears.
For the past hour, the phone had not left his ear. He constantly had you on redial, begging for you to answer. When he got your voicemail again, he let out a deep sigh before speaking. “Brie, I know you’re mad at me, but I’m worried about you, I don’t know where you are, and I just want you to be safe, so will you please come home, where I can see and hold you again, please just come home, let’s just talk about this, okay? Just come home!” He set the phone down, but only long enough for him to take another deep breath and then it was back to redialing you, just trying to get ahold of you.
When you finally returned home, you saw Ashton sitting on the sofa. You you’re your way into the living room, sitting on the sofa at the other side of the room. Silence filled the house as you and Ashton faced each other in the now cold and dark house. “Are you going to say anything, Brie?” Ashton asked, anger still slightly in his voice. You shake your head, the fight had clearly exhausted you. “You’re going to have to speak to me at some point!” You shake your head and turn away so you’re no longer looking at him. He sighed and crawled over to you before placing you in his lap. “Come on, Brie, I really need to hear your voice again to know that everything is truly okay between us! I love you and I don’t want to lose you, please speak to me!” You shake your head again as Ashton rests his own head on your shoulders. “Fine, if you don’t want to talk, let me tell you all the reasons why I love you and why you’re going to be the only girl for me!”
