Eighteen

I watch the color fading from Hannah's face in a couple of seconds, and it's obvious she wasn't expecting that. She menages to let out a nervous laugh though.

"Sum, I don't know what you're talking abou..."

"Don't lie to me Hannah" I interrupt her coldly "When the fuck did you stop being my friend? Since when you started kissing my..." 

She doesn't let me finish either, raising her voice "Your what Summer? Your toy?! That's what Luke is for you, isn't he? And Ashton as well"

I roll my eyes and laugh humorless, I can't believe she's saying these things "Oh my God! You've been jealous of me all this time, haven't you? Woah, this is definitely sad" I shake my head, not even trying to desguise the cynicism in my voice "And now what? You think acting like this will make Ashton fall in love with you?!"

I notice she's shaking, but she still try not to seem nervous "You're the one screwing two guys Summer, I think I'm acting quite alright compared to you. I mean, kissing Luke was a lapse of stupidity, I admit that, I don't even know what I was thinking, but Ashton..." She doesn't continue the sentence and I suddenly feel lost in the coversation I thought I was so prepared to have.

"What do mean with "but Ashton"?" I ask, feeling awkwardly nervous now.

I watch as she raised her eyebrows, a victory kinda smile on her lips as she shakes her head "You think everything is so perfect, don't you?" Though she keeps in silence for a moment, I don't have anything to say "Ashton is not a enchanted prince Summer" She blurts a laugh "Gosh, I don't think he's even worth of being called a frog"

"Stop with the small talk Hannah, if that's not gonna take you anywhere then jus..."

"He doesn't love you" She says, cold as ice, and I feel my thoughts weighing on me "I'm not saying he loves me" She laughs humorless "But my relationship with him comes from way back and..."

"What relationship Hannah?!" I raise my voice, though it cracks at the end of my sentence.

She stares at me for a while and her disgusting smile makes me sick "Wow Sum, you're so stupid it almost makes me feel sorry for you"

I close my fists, trying to keep myself from the rage taking over me "Don't pull this with me Hannah, for fuck sakes, I've known you for years..."

"Yeah! You know me so well, don't you? But you never discovered Ash was my first, you never discovered we slept together at a party some years ago, and you would never guess he was kissing me just a few days back"

I feel something breaking inside of me and I stare blankly at her proud expression. I end up letting out a laugh a few seconds after, though I couldn't avoid my eyes from getting watery.

"You know, kissing Luke and being in love with Ashton and never telling me, I can accept that. But now you're appealing to this bullshit?! I'm truly impressed Hannah"

She still has the cynical smile printed on her face and I can't help but feel amazingly small next to her "C'mon Summer, if you can't tell I'm telling the truth, then just go ask Ashton" She shrugs "You'd know if he was lying to you, wouldn't you?"

I simply don't know what to say, the fact that I actually think she's telling the truth just kills me. Not this, all that happened so far had already made me daubt of my friendships but I didn't give up on it. But this? What am I supposed to think of this? How am I supposed to feel towards this?

My voice comes low and unsure when I try to speak again "I would have known if you two wer..."

"Yeah, like you knew about Logan cheating on you"

She's smashing me now, I bite down my lip, trying to make it stop shaking, whether it's for nervousness or sadness "Ashton wouldn't, he..."

She rolls her eyes at me with a sigh "Listen, Sum, I'm really sorry that this is disapointing to you. I get it, you thought he loved you and that life was fucking perfect, but unfortunately Ash is not that great guy you think you know"

I run my fingers through my hair "Gosh, just shut up Hannah" I need to get out of here, otherwise I might not be able to fight back my sudden urge to cry any longer. I start heading back to the door quickly.

"Oh for fuck sakes, so much drama!" She laughs before I can pass through the door, without minding to close it "We just get together some times, for fun, don't get so upset Sum"  I hear the mock on her voice as I walk hurried on the hallway, without looking back, it's like the tears I've been holding back are burning my eyes now.

ASHTON

I've been lying on Summer's bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, for almost an hour. Luke left right after she decided that she was going over to Hannah's and I just stood here, not really knowing what to do.

I can't deny the nervous voice in my head, that keeps asking how the talk between Sum and Hannah is going, I have no idea of what might be going on, I never thought that I'd be imagining them having that kinda conversation. It's just weird, they're both my best friends and all of the sudden it seems that they're attacking each other. 

I'm drifted away from my thoughts when my phone starts ringing annoyingly in my pocket. I frown as I realize my dad is the one calling.

"Hello?" I say, sitting down on the bed and running my fingers through my hair, getting a momentary headache from getting up so quickly.

"Hey, you better go to the hospital, you're mother's not fine"
