The Only Reason

"Hey." Michael got up from his chair and greeted me.

"Hi."

"So whatcha been up to lately?" He asked me.

"Well, I'm trying to forget about Ashton still. And because of that I started dating Alex."

"Strunk?"

"Yep"

Was there something wrong with that?

"Is that...okay..?" I asked questioningly.

"Well....he's got sort of a....reputation."

"What's that suppose to mean?"

Please don't let the one relationship I feel like I can count on not be worth it.

"It's not like you think, actually. People say that he doesn't give a shit about his girlfriends. But in reality, it's not that true." Michael explained.

"Oh...Okay."

I didn't really know how to react to this.

"I don't mean to worry you or anything. Just be careful of what you hear." He explained.

"So wanna order?" I asked.

"Sure."

I ordered a cotton candy frappé, while Mike got a caramel mocha. Some weirdo was scanning me up and down as I went back to sit with Michael.

"Hey who's that creep over there?" I asked.

He was wearing black Ray-Bans and a red flannel with ripped up black skinny jeans.

"Maybe just some perv wanting to rape you." He answered jokingly.

"Oh my god." We both laughed.

"But seriously he looks familia-"

I stopped.

"What is it?" Mikey asked.

"Can we just go find somewhere else to hangout? Please?."

I knew it was Ash. Spying on me to see what I was doing. Little did I know he was walking up behind me.

"Boo!"

"Well it was nice meeting up with you here, Mikey." I said, trying to get away.

"Lilly!" Michael yelled.

I saw him running toward me so I stopped walking and turned around to say goodbye to him.

"If your leaving because of Ashton, that okay. Just don't let him bother you. You don't even have to worry about him. I'll keep him away from you."

Michael looked like a total badass, but he was a really sweet guy. He gave me a hug and then went back inside.

-Ashton's Point of View-

Why was Lilly meeting up with Mike? She belongs with me and nobody was going to take her away from me.

I saw him walk back through the door and walked up to me.

"Why are you treating Lilly like that?" He asked me.

"Why are you meeting her here?" I asked.

"Because I'm her friend and I don't betray her and leave her like some people I know."

Dammit. Why is he right?

"Lilly belongs with me. Not some guy with hair like a clown."

I don't actually think I should have said that.
