One Week {Under Construction}

Thursday [Ashton]

"So, is she yours?" 

I turn towards the voice. "No, Sara," I lie. She doesn't need to know. If she knows then she will run and tell my father. This is something that he shouldn't know. I don't want him to ruin my daughter's life like he has mine. 

"I told you that bitch was lying. The girl is Preston's, right?" 

"That you are correct," I lie again. Lying is easy when it comes to Sara. She believes anything I say because she thinks she has power over me. She does but not as much as she thinks. I have to lie to protect the people I care about. I can't be there for them but I can do everything in my power to protect them. If this the only thing that I will ever be good for then that makes my life worth living. 

"You see, I fucking told you." 

"You did." I reply emotionless. 

"I saw this coming, you know. She was always jealous of what we have.." 

We have nothing, I reply in my head. We are nothing. This relationship is loveless. 

"....She is just a lying bitch. When I found out that..." 

"Found out what?" 

"That she was pregnant, obviously." 

"When did you find out?" I ask. 

"When you did," She lies. 

"You have known this whole time. Haven't you?" I question.

She wraps her arms around my neck, "I didn't tell you because I wanted to protect you because obviously she was lying." 

I remove her hands off of my neck, "Get out." 

"Whhhat?"

"I said to get out. I can't  even look at you right now." I look straight at her, "You make me sick." 

"You don't think I don't know that these people you call your friends hate me? You don't think I know that you even hate me while I am in love with you. Go ahead, Ashton, blame me for your fuck ups. Blame me for everything you have done. Whatever makes you sleep at night. You will still have your demons the next day," she says while walking out of the room. 

And I am left speechless. Wondering what have I done to deserve everything that has happened to me.
