Quirks Of Being A Queen Bee ✔ COMPLETED ✔

Chapter Twenty-Three

My reflection stared back at me from the bathroom mirror, as tears rolled down my face, dripping from my chin, then splashing against the marble floor. My cheeks were stained with black. I put my hand to my cheeks and slid my hand across to rid myself of the evidence of me crying, but it didn't work. I coughed out another cry, grabbing some toilet paper and running the tap over it. Every movement I made felt to heavy, so difficult, so painful. Every time I blinked or moved my hand, my heart throbbed with pain.

Oh my God, what had I done?

I sniffed, trying to stop all the other tears from falling. I'd cried too much already.

But I couldn't help it. I'd basically messed up me and Trevor's friendship, by making that stupid move in the first place. I shouldn't have even thought of kissing him.

But I wanted to - I wanted to kiss him so bad.

And he definitely didn't want to kiss me.

I heard the door slowly open, my head shot up to meet the face of a shocked Rhi.

"Omg Ash! What's wrong? What happened?" She exclaimed as she rushed beside me.

"I-I-", I began, choking on my tears.

"Aww baby. Come here!" She pulled me tightly into a hug as she gently massaged my back.

I sobbed hardly against her chest, feeling all the pain hitting me at once. I was a terrible and selfish person. Here I went and ruined everything me and Trevor just mended, and here I was with all my confused and conflicted feelings for two guys I both feel something for.

"Is it Alex?" Rhi whispered, placing a gentle kiss on my forehead.

"N-No, i-it's T-trevor", I stuttered lowly.

She pulled away, her expression one of confusion and curiousity, "What happened?"

Lowering my head in shame I mummbled, "I-I k-kissed him".

A loud gasp escaped Rhi's lips as she stared at me in bewilderment. I felt so unworthy in that moment of everything. I didn't deserve these wonderful people, for all I could do was just ruin things for them.

"Wow..." She sighed, then her lips curled up in a small smile, "It'll be alright. Don't worry Ash. I promise you".

"Promise? How can you promise that! I just k-kissed m-my b-best-friend. I ruined everything. I ruined our friendship Rhi...and it's nobody's e-else's fault than m-mine. All m-mine". My lips trembled as another hot tear rolled down my mascara-smeared face.

Taking my face in-between her hands she looked me in the eyes, "Listen to me Ash. This is not your fault. Okay? I know that you're confused. I know that you're going through a really hard time with Alex and I understand what it's like, I do. Trevor will understand and what you two have, that friendship, it's one of the most beautiful things I've gotten the chance to witness".

She smiled wiping away another stray teardrop, "You should hear the way he talks about you Ash. Trust me, Trev will be one hell of a jerk if he doesn't understand and knowing him all my life he's one of the most understanding and caring persons. So trust me when I say this, it's not your fault. He'll understand. No more crying. No pretty girl deserves to cry this much."

I sniffled as I hugged Rhi tightly, "B-but w-what if he hates me now?"

She chuckled lowly raising her brow, "Trevor Quentin hating you Ashley Riverwood? I think that's impossible in even an ulternate world. Trust me, I know. He loves you more than you could ever think."

And in that moment I felt at ease, I felt like this burning pain had somewhat calmed down, Rhi's words gave me some hope and re-assurance. Maybe things wouldn't be as bad as I would thought it would be.
