Chapter 14

Ashlie's POV

I stayed the night at Tommy's house, comforting him as much as I can to make him feel like he belongs in this world. We both went to sleep. Tommy went to his room, with his door open and I just slept on the couch, what a way to treat a women.

I woke up around probably 6 AM in the morning, I always get up around this time because of school so I'm used to it. So now that no one is really up just yet, I decided to change into different clothes and wake up Tommy to come with me to the old hideout we had. I walked over to Tommy's room seeing him on his bed awake. "Hey" I say quiet. He turns his head to face me and responds "Hey" "What're you up to?" I ask entering his room "Thinking... I guess" He then turns his head to the window "About what?" I ask again "stuff" he responds. I sigh and walk to his bedside and I face him "Wanna come with me?" I say "Where?" Tommy said "To our old hideout we had as kids, remember?" Because Cory's there. I know where everyone's at, everyone.

He didn't respond for awhile until he finally said "Sure" He started to get up from the bed and I left the room making sure I had everything with me aka my phone. We headed off and left the house. It was quiet while we were walking down the trail. I honestly didn't have or know what to say, knowing Tommy he probably doesn't want to talk anyways. We finally made it and suddenly I heard something. I stopped Tommy and he looked at me confused. I put a finger to my lips and I listened carefully. It sounded almost like crying? When I finally decided to move ahead more, I already knew who it was.

"Oh my gosh, Cory! Are you alright?" I ran to his side and fell and slid at the same time, next to his side. He continued to cry and sniff a bit. Tommy was behind and he stayed at the entrance staring at me and Cory and then stared at other stuff. "Why are y-you even here?" Cory said still crying covering his face "I was just coming back here with Tommy and then I saw you. Cory, you're not alright. Please let me help you" I say "The last time you did that y-you- m-made me see h-him again" "I am so so sorry... I just- I thought that- I wanted you to see him again, all of us did and I know it's so hard for you right now, It was hard for me too... He was like- my best friend in the whole world that I could've have asked for. I know you feel guilty right now, I know you're sad, mad, confused- but right now Cory, we want to make you feel happy" I started to cry and my voice cracked at the end

"ok? All we want is for you to be happy, I want Tommy to be happy too" I turn my head to him "But trust me Cory.. It wasn't your fault. We may never know what really happened but what we do know is that Jon made us feel like we were part of the world. He was such a great friend, but please promise me something- please?" I turn my head back to Cory

"Don't cry anymore. Don't lock yourself up in your room all the time. Don't shut yourself out and even the world itself! I missed seeing you smile, always laughing and hanging out with us. I know you can get through with this. I know it's hard to let go of the past but it'll go and after that, you'll feel better but you won't forget" I put my hand on his shoulder "And maybe someone wants to know you better" Tommy walked over and said "Sorry for shutting you out and being rude. I didn't know myself anymore after he was gone. I thought it was everyone's fault when it wasn't anyone's fault. Sometimes I feel so bad about myself that I blame it on others and when I get home, I started regretting to do that.... This is getting really personal... But what Ashlie's been telling you is true. Jo- he.. He wouldn't want this, Jon wouldn't"

He walked over to Cory and placed his hand on his shoulder too. I saw tears on Tommy's face too but he smiled and I know he meant it. I smiled too and hugged the both of them.
