"Ashley darling, it's time to wake up"

I couldn't find the motivation to open my eyes feeling the warm covers on top of me. It took a couple of seconds for my senses to reunite with my body. Then it all came rushing back. It hit me really hard.

The fight is today.

I opened my eyes wide and saw Joanne smiling at me.

"Good you're awake" She says.

"I wish I wasn't though" I mumbled.

"Don't say that" She says. "Today is like a normal day"

"No it's not" I state, sitting up.

"Today is the day my brother fights my boyfriend" I say and she stares at me as if I had grown two heads.

"What?" I ask.

"You said your boyfriend" She points out and I mentally slap myself.

"I meant ex boyfriend" I correct myself.

"You still care about him don't you?" She asks and I nod.

"He's my first love" I state.

"I'm sorry Ashley but this fight has to happen" She said and I look away.

"It doesn't have to be this way" I say as a whisper.

"How else would it be?" She asks, clearly hearing me.

"Different" I say. "Why can't the two gangs put their differences aside?" I suggest.

"It doesn't work that way" She says.

"But maybe it could change" I say and she shakes her head.

"You don't understand any thing about gang life" She points out standing up, clearly annoyed by my suggestion.

"Well when I become a member of the gang that would change" I lie. I'll never join a gang, family or not.

"Why must they change everything for my husband's out side daughter who is in love with a boy who might not even love her back" She says and immediately regrets it.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean that" She tries to apologise but I cut her off.

"I think you should get out my room" I say looking at my wall instead of her.

"Ashley I really didn't ..."

"Get out" I say.

She sighs before leaving my room, closing the door behind her.

Why is life so unfair.

Why does my life has to be this way?

I take a long hot shower, to clear my head.

Joanne had really hurt me. I can't believe that's how she saw me.

How could she not? Her husband cheated on her, and you're the result.

I cry, letting all my anger, sadness and pain out.

As I come out the shower, Zack crossed my mind. Though I'd never admit it, I wondered what he was doing in this very moment.

Wondering maybe... Just maybe..

He was thinking about me too.

I change my clothes, putting on a top and a jeans and I put my hair into a ponytail.

I really do miss him.

His smile.

His laugh.
