Broken Star // Chandler Riggs Fanfiction

Chapter 22

"Thanks for the ride," I mumbled.

"Sorry about everything," Quinn apologized.

"Why are you even here in Georgia?" I asked, curiously.

He shrugged. I watched him, waiting for him to answer, but he never did.

"Can I see you tomorrow?" he asked, turning off his car engine. I nodded. I could see Chandler flirting with Hana by the trailers. I knew he was going to try and rub it in my face.

"Can you walk me to my trailer?" I asked. Quinn followed my gaze, he saw Chandler laughing at something Hana said.

"Of course," he smiled kindly. He got out and I did too. They noticed us get out, although they tried to pretend like they didn't see us.

I felt Quinn hold my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. He walked me to my door, Hana and Chandler were flirting like crazy. I felt anger bubble up inside me.

"Goodnight," Quinn smiled, he dropped my hand and turned to leave.

"Wait!" I shouted. I realized my voice had echoed loudly. Chandler and Hana were staring at me, and Quinn looked startled.

I rushed up to Quinn, and pressed my lips against his. I felt his arms wrap around my waist, and I slowly pulled away. I glanced over to see Hana looking shocked, and Chandler was storming off to his trailer.

I felt satisfied, yet guilty. Chandler's face held pure jealousy, and I felt a tinge of happiness for showing him how it felt to see someone you love kiss someone else.

Quinn rubbed his thumb against my cheek. I felt a weird feeling in my gut, like my life was all tangled up and I needed to take time to untangle the pieces.

"Goodnight," I gulped out. He just drifted his gaze away from me and nodded. I sat inside my trailer, with all the lights out. I played music, the glow of my phone casting a spooky glow on the room.

I could hear Hana and Chandler's chatter from my trailer. I wanted nothing but to have him in my trailer, with me.

I shook as a sad song came onto my phone. The haunting steady vocals, the soft slow piano. I felt an ache in my heart, and soon my cheeks were wet with tears. I reached to skip the song, my finger hovering over the button, but I didn't press it, and eventually I took my hand away from my phone.

I stood up, I wanted to stop, I wanted to tell myself to pull myself together, but my feet carried me to my bathroom. My hands rustled through my makeup bag, searching the bottom. My fingers met the cold piece of metal. I locked the bathroom door, sliding against it until I was seated.

My fingers shook, I stared at the blade, contemplating what to do. I slowly pressed the blade on my wrist, dragging it in a straight line. I heard my trailer door open, and I gasped. I tried to be as quiet as possible. I heard footsteps, they stopped right in front of the bathroom door. I saw the shadow of someone underneath the door.

"Ashley?" It was Chandler's voice. I didn't speak at first, but rushed to hide my blade. I started washing off the blood off my wrist.

"Ashley?" Chandler's voice was more panicked now.

"Yeah?" I tried to sound normal as possible.

"Please open the door," he pleaded.

"I'm busy," I started blotting the blood off my arm.

"I just need to apologize and explain and we can talk everything out and everything can go back to normal," he pleaded.

"Chandler, that isn't going to happen," I sighed.

The doorknob jiggled a little, I heard the lock click, and he swung open the door.

"I leaned how to pick locks," he dangled a bobby pin in front of me. I was sitting on the floor, curled up, my arm hidden by my body.

"Are you okay?" He saw my tears.

"No Chandler, you kissed another girl, and you flirted with Hana!" I didn't stop the tears, just let them run down my cheeks.

"She forced herself on me, I swear, I love you so much and I would choose you over any girl," he squatted next to me.

"That doesn't make it right Chandler," I said quieter this time.

"You kissed Quinn on purpose," he angrily sighed.

I felt a single drop of blood trickle onto the tile floor. I tried to wipe it, but Chandler saw it.

"Are you bleeding?" He exclaimed. He grabbed my arm, pulling it towards him. He dropped it in shock. He looked shocked, and maybe sad.

"You cut?" He said in barely a whisper. He gingerly picked up my arm, I stayed silent. He dabbed the cut with antibacterial, before bandaging it up. He tied off the bandage, and lifted his hands from my arm.

"When did this start?" He asked, sitting next to me, holding my hands in his.

"I don't want to talk about it Chandler," I avoided his gaze, staring at the wall.

"When," he said, firmer this time.

"Couple years, I don't know," I shrugged.

"I didn't know about this," he said, still in shock.

"Yeah well nobody really does," I snapped unexpectedly.

"I'm sorry Ashley, I love you, I love all of you no matter who you kiss, I want you, and I won't ever let you go," he placed his hand on my cheek.

"Maybe we need some time," I muttered, my mind flashing to Quinn and how I could let him down easy.

"Alright," he gulped. Standing upright. He strode out. I buried my face in my hands. I rubbed my stinging eyes and looked at the neon flash of my alarm clock.

It was late. I climbed into bed, I would make this right.
