The Last Teardrop

Drop Eleven

Ashton’s POV.

I don’t know where exactly I’m going right now. I want to go home and lock myself to my room and sleep off but I’m still pissed at Gemma about what she acted last night. 

I don’t know what’s wrong with her and I don’t know why she got mad at all.

I pulled over in a restaurant to grab some foods. It’s already three in the afternoon and I’m not still taking breakfast and lunch and I’m starved to death.

I sat in the first table at the right corner of the restaurant and ordered some steak and Alfredo pasta. 

While waiting for my food, I heard a voice of a girl said my name to whoever she was talking to. I don’t want to assume, so I steady myself to eavesdrop at them. I want to make myself clear that it’s not me they were talking about. 

“Yeah I know him, I know Ashton Edwards.” The other girl replied. Her voice seemed familiar.

When I looked back, I saw Jenny, Luke’s girlfriend and she’s with two other girls. The restaurant only has a few tables and the area was definitely not too big.  So I don’t know why Jenny and her companies talks like I didn’t hear who they were talking about and the fact that they’re just one table away from mine.

Maybe I assumed that they saw me when I came in, so they’re talking obviously like they want me to hear what they were talking about, but they were not. 

I pretended that I’m occupied with my phone, so that it’s not obvious that I’m listening to them.  

“I always saw him in the frat party.” The other girl said. 

“Yeah, me too and he’s so hot.” The other girl added and giggled along with the other girl except Jenny, I smirked at fact she said. 

Hell, she’s true.

“No, he’s not. He’s absolutely a jerk and a stupid asshole.” My smile fades when I heard what Jenny said. 

I clenched my fist at the words she said against me. What the fuck is wrong with her? What the fuck is her problem?

“What? Why?” asked the other girl and the other one gasped. 

“Oh God, tell us Jenny, is there something between you and him? Like you’re in a relationship before? Or did you had sex with him without knowing Luke?” rushed the other girl in almost a whisper but I still heard her. Stupid.

“For your stupid mind’s sake Claire, of course not. That’s not going to happen! Not a chance.” Jenny blurted out and sighed in disgust.

“And if I’m going to cheat with Luke, I’m going to make sure that he’s not the other guy.”

What the fuck? 

Is wrong with her?

“Then why you’re acting like he did something wrong to you?” The other girl asked Jenny. Yeah she’s right. What’s your problem?

“Why you’re so against him?” the girl added. 

“Whoa, okay girls! Will you stop punching me with stupid questions?” said Jenny.

“Okay, then tell us.” said the two girls in unison.

“That stupid jerk” said Jenny and I lean at the back of the chair closer to hear her clearly.

“Is the jerkiest man my best friend had ever loved, He’s the reason why she always cries and you wouldn’t want to hear the reason behind the pain she feels then until now, because she still love that spoiled rotten jerk!” 

What the hell? I’m so pissed at her now, seriously, why is she saying those things to me? As if I murdered her best friend. I don’t know who’d she referring to. 

I don’t know her best friend and I’m sure that her best friend is not Lizzie because Luke once told me that Jenny hated her a lot.

“Oh, you mean your roommate?” asked the other girl, her roommate? I just thought. Who is she?

“Yeah she is.” Jenny replied.

“Ah, the one you supposed to meet at the airport this morning but she already canceled her flight?”

“Yeah and that is because of him again.” Jenny said. 

“What?” I mumbled, because of me? What is she talking about? 

 “What’s her name again?” asked the other girl again.

“Ja-'

“Here’s your order Sir, a steak and Alfredo pasta. Enjoy your food!” said the waiter in a graceful tone. 

I didn’t hear what name did Jenny dropped as the waiter came over to my table and serve the food. What a timing asshole. I cursed the waiter in my thoughts.

“Anyway, I need to go now girls, Luke’s already calling.” Jenny told them.

“Actually we’re going now too. Claire and I were planned to watch movie tonight with my boyfriend and hers, right Claire?” said the other girl.

“Oh yeah, you and Luke can come if you like.” the girl replied, who they called Claire.

“I’d love too, but Luke and I had plans for tonight either.” Jenny refused as they walked towards the restaurant door. I leaned in to the table and slightly covered my face with my hand until they were outside of the restaurant and part ways.

Jenny leaved my head of the thoughts she said minutes ago. I don’t know what exactly she’s talking about and who is her best friend she was referring to who cries over me. I know I hooked up with some girls I don’t actually know and without asking their names but I really don’t understand what’s her and her best friend problem with me?

I can’t believe she said things to me like that. All I know is she’s okay with me, in front of us whenever we have party in the frat house and she don’t look like she has a problems with me at all.

But for what I just heard a while ago, I think she has a problem with me that I didn’t know or maybe Luke knew but he didn’t even tell me. 

And that’s for me to find out.
