ݞ Chapter Two ݞ

~Ashley~

I watched her as she put her bags on the kitchen table, then run up the stairs. I was on the verge of tears before she got in the car and I was surprised that I hadn't let it all out on the car ride. I had gotten a serious wakeup call this afternoon...

* ݞ *

"Hey Ashley," I heard a voice behind me.

I turned around and met Bailey's gaze. I remembered her being one of Sadie's friends and for a moment, I thought about completely blowing her off. I thought better of it. "Oh, hey there Bailey."

"Wow, you remember me," she laughed.

I grabbed my things from my gym locker before turning back to her. "Why wouldn't I?"

"Well...and I'm just quoting this from someone else, but you're kind of a stuck-up bitch. You rarely remember anyone, especially if you don't think they're worth your time." She looked unashamed, as if she had planned this.

"Who said that?" I scoffed. I hadn't known people thought that of me!

"She asked me not to say..."

"Please?"

"Alright...Saturn said it..."

My own sister thought I was a stuck-up bitch. "That's what she thinks of me?"

"Yeah..."

Suddenly I didn't wonder IF she hated me, I wondered how I had gotten this way that MADE her hate me. "So she seriously hates me, huh?"

"Again, yeah."

"Has she said...other stuff?"

"Yeah."

"Well, what does she say?"

"That because you're never there for her, she feels alone. She saw me and my sis once, and she was on the verge of tears. She's also jealous of you, if you didn't know."

"SHE'S jealous of ME?" And here I thought I was the only one. After all, she is practically perfect and mom and dad's favorite...

"I've already said too much...I better go. But maybe you should talk to her. Bye..."

Bailey left me with a wave but I couldn't do anything but just sit down. I loved my sister, and now I knew why she didn't feel the same. She was my little sister; she should be looking up to me, not hating me. I was giving her a reason all the time to hate me and I hadn't ever seen it. I felt like crying, but I didn't. I was just shocked.

This whole time I thought that our relationship was normal.

I sat down at the table, cupping my face with my hands. I wanted to fix this, but I suddenly didn't know why or how. I never tried before so why now? But I guess I knew why in the back of my head...

I wanted to. It was simple- I wanted to. I suddenly wanted a relationship with her; the girl that so many people said was amazing. I had even looked for her all day, but not seeing her, I had even come up with the idea that she was skipping for some drastic reason. I had scared myself by thinking that she had some huge secret she was hiding.

But that was ridiculous, right?

*Talked to her yet?* Chad texted me.

I fumbled with the keys. *No, not yet. What do I say? She'll think I'm crazy, now that I know that she hates me...*
