Fight the Feelings

The return

Ashley p.o.v

"Ashley, Ashley.......over here!!"

"Ashley Ann..... How was Australia??"

" did you break up with Jordan?"

" are you still having troubles?"

" are you glad to be back in America?"

" You seem a lot happier these days..... Is there a new man in your life??"

" give us a smile...... Ashley Ann"

All these questions being thrown at me only 30 minutes after waking up is not a good way to start the day especially since I'm finally back In America.

Luckily my boys are spending  another week back home in Sydney so they don't have to deal with this craziness.

You have no idea how good it feels to be back home in Detroit, Even though paparazzi are swarming around me like a pack of dogs I know this will all be over as soon as I get in my car and on the open road where I can head back to my mansion in Michigan.

These last couple of weeks have been amazing, I didn't realize how much I needed to head back home and spend time with my family in Sydney without being Ashley Ann or having people like Christine around me.

Marshall was right, I needed to clear my head and these last couple of weeks really gave me the opportunity to do that an to really figure where I'm heading in life. I guess I just needed familiar faces to do that.

Marshall P.o.v

" pizzas here guys" I yelled from the kitchen after answering the front door to a very shocked and stunned pizza guy who couldn't seem to say anything as I politely paid him giving him an extra large tip.

Walking over to the guys I placed the pizza down next to the other junk fatty foods sitting on the coffee table. Since we all needed a break I have invited the d12 guys round, fifty , Royce and Paul to watch the football game between Detroit and New York, even though we usually do poker I know that there's a lot of deals and bets being made between the group since Paul and fifty both live in New York.

" just in time, second half is about to start after the break" fifty cheered getting excited knowing New York are probably going to win like they always do.

Taking my seat we all quickly dug into the pizza eating and chatting waiting for the second half.

For some reason as soon as the news opening song started playing we all eased our conversations up and were focusing on the nightly news update. I have no idea why we do this but we always seem to watch the news eagerly paying close attention to incidents in our surrounding neighboring towns.

Royce and I continued talking quietly since we are sitting on the same lounge and going for the same team.

These last couple of months Royce has been awesome especially with all the dramas I had with Kim and Ashley. Even today, months after our fight I can still see how much Royce continues trying to make it right and make up for lost time between our friendship. I just wish we were friends back in the day proof was Alive, I know Proof was eager to try and mend our friendship but since I was a stuck up prick back than I never have Royce the time of day until I realized how precious time and life is.

Turning back round I watched as some pictures of a crushed car under beside a truck displayed on the screen. I hadn't paid attention to the actual incident until the end of the segment and all I know is some drunk driver killed him and his three mates while trying to overtake the truck.
