Violets mom, Helen answered the door. "Ashleigh. Good. Your here." Helen said. I waltzed in, not caring that she never let me in.

"Violet why would you do that? Get yourself in trouble. I don't mind the blame. I did get in that fight after all." I said. "Because. I want to be doing something good to you after what I did. I ruined our friendship and I'm sorry." She said.

"There is other ways but,
Vi. Why in the world would you take a suspension that belongs to me? Hell, me, your mom and you know that you can't fight." I said.

"I know. I also told Dale I was taking fighting classes." She said. "Violet. I was waiting until I cooled down from the locker thing and the court thing but, I forgive you. I just needed time. Now. Tomorrow. I'm going to the office and telling Dale I was the one who started the fight." I said.

"No. No need. I'm taking her with me to visit her fathers grave in New York. This week is to ourselves. Thank you Ashleigh." Helen said while hugging me.

I hugged back when Violet lunged at me after I pulled away from Helen and hugged me. I winced as she hit my wound. She pulled away and smiled until she saw my face.

"Oh god. I'm sorry. I forgot." She started but, stopped when the door opened and I gave her the look. "Babe." I heard Austin's voice call our. I smirked. "She's in here." I said.

She blushed and Austin walked in and looked surprised. "And no. I'm not mad that you two are dating. After all. I'm dating Cole." I said before kissing Helen and Violets cheek before walking towards the door.

I started running towards Rons diner until I arrived. I sat in my normal corner booth and called my mom.

"Hello." I heard. "Mom, can you drop Ashlynn off at Robs Diner. I'm going to take her to the mall and get some clothes. Will there be anything you need?" I Asked.

"A blanket. A fuzzy one and tissues. Lots of tissues." She said before hanging up. I looked at my phone and didn't even realize that Violet, Austin and Cole were sitting here now.

"I picked Cole up and we knew you'd be here." Violet said. "I'm going to be taking Ashlynn to the mall." I said.

"To be honest. I was watching Riverdale. You know how Betty is mostly good but, she has the little dark side. Ashlynn is the good side of Betty. And you.... remind me of the dark side." She said.

"Well thanks. I know. I tried to clean my act up but, I can't. I'm in way to deep. So I guess the act stays. Anyway, you guys want to come to the mall?" I Asked.

"I don't have money." Cole said. "I do. So your coming. Get some new clothes. I'm not saying the clothes you have are bad. You deserve to own more stuff Cole." I said.

He threw his arm over my shoulder. "I can't take your money." He said. "I can't have over five hundred thousand dollars." I said. "Woah." Austin said. My mom and Ashlynn walked in.

My mom led Ashlynn to our table. "Mom. Tomorrow. I'm ditching school. Me and you are going to spend time together." I said.

"I can't. I made plans." She said. "In your room crying all day. Well guess what. Tomorrow. Your plans of that are canceled. Your coming with me wether you like it or not. I'll make you." I said.

"No." She said. "Like I said. Wether you like it or not." I said as Ashlynn sat down next to me. Now I'm in the middle. My mom sighed and held her hand out. I took her hand and got up.

I jumped over Ashlynn and she led me towards the doors and took me outside. She pulled cigarettes out and started to smoke. I pulled it out of her mouth and threw it in the ground and grabbed the pack.

"I know you might be hurting but, this no. Your losing me and if they find out then your losing your other kids." I said.

"No. You can't say that. I don't care. You have always been a very bad child anyway." She said while shoving me. I barely stepped back. The vipers were walking in to the diner but, Peter was watching me.

I stepped up close to my mother. "Touch me like that again I swear your ass can leave my house. After all. I'm trouble." I said while walking past her, making sure to shoulder check her.

I walked back in the diner and sat down. I know they saw but, we all sat their silently. "You going to tell us what that was all about?" Ashlynn Asked.

"Apparently I'm a very bad child. She shoved me and I wasn't having it. I only told her she was going to lose her kids if she kept smoking and pushing us away. But, she lost me." I said.

"Ashleigh. Can we talk for a minute?" Peter called from the entrance. The whole diner went quiet. "You don't have to. I'll come. You aren't going anywhere with him alone." Cole said. "I'll be fine. Just. Stay here." I said. I stood up and jumped over Ashley and started towards the entrance.

He led me out towards the motorcycles. "Wanna join yet?" He asked. I stayed silent for a moment. "How mad do you think Cole would be?" I Asked while walking around one of the bikes.

"He's been talking about joining and how mad you'd be." Peter Said. "Is this your way of trying to rip my mothers relationship apart more." I Asked.

I looked at the window my booth is and they were all looking. The whole diner was at a windows looking.

"I thought it was gone already." He said smirking. I smirked. "You aren't wrong there." I said shaking my head.

"So, what will it be? Yes or no?" He asked. I looked at him and my family.
