Drama Is All Over The Place

Chapter Eighteen

Ashley's Pov-
I had been thinking long and hard about how I wanted to talk about what happened with D and I. Though it's only been 3 days, I couldn't stop thinking. Becoming frustrated I decided to call my sister Breanna or Bree as I call her. Picking up the phone I dialed her number; it rang three times before she picked up. "Hello?" Her voice said, "Hey Bree." I answered back, "Hazel!" She screamed in the phone, I grimaced when she called me by my middle name. "You know I hate when you call me Hazel. But I called you cause I need to talk to you about something." The line was silent, then she came back with "I figured you would wanna talk to Howie, normally you tell him when something has happened. " She's not wrong, I always do that.

I sighed and told her "Actually it has something to do with him." Clearing her throat she said "Okay. What is going on?" Swallowing the lump in my throat and I began back to the night in the club; "...And when I woke up, I was laying naked next to him. I don't remember doing anything." I didn't hear anything but breathing. "WAIT?! WHAT?!" she yelled into the receiver, I put the phone away from my ear as she became quieter. "I'm sorry for that but, Ash I mean wow. " I sighed and said "What do I do? Howie wants us to forget about it, but I wanna talk to him about it." "I don't wanna loose our frienship over this simple accident." I was now crying and Bree in a calming voice said, "If you feel like it might ruin your friendship, then you need to talk to him about this." "Howie's a good person, and I know how much he means to you." Between hitched breaths I managed to let a simple "Okay." out.

After I had cried to my sister for an hour, she and I talked for another 30 minutes before she had to leave for work. She is a nurse. Talking to my sister felt nice, she and I were surprisingly close despite the 5 year age difference. Trying to keep calm, I decided a nap was in order. I had planned on calling Howie in the next two days, hopefully I'll have my thoughts together by then. Shutting the blinds in my living room, I laid on my couch. I didn't realize how exhausted I had become just from crying and not that but being stressed too. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and started to doze off.
