Voodoo Doll

Chapter 69

Anna

I knock at my door made me almost drop my phone.

I slightly laugh, and open the door.

"Ash!" I say, hoping my voice doesn't lack enthusiasm.

"Hey Anna." He says. "Can I- uh?"

He trails off..uncomfortable.

"Yeah. Come on in." I shut the door behind him and lean up against it.

"What do you want?" I asked, hoping it didn't sound rude.

He looked up at me with sad eyes.

It broke my heart as his eyes filled with tears. He bit his lip.

He let out a shaky breath. "I need your help." His voice trembled.

"Ash, what wrong?" I say, standing up, unfolding my arms, a feeling of panic rushing in.

What if he's cutting again?

"I'm not cutting." He whispered. "I just really messed up."

"You didn't get anyone pregnant, did you?"

"No!"

I sighed. "Good."

"It's just girls. You and Carson to be exact."

"Carson is like, off the market." I say.

"I know. I can't help but feel like I was cheated. Like she was mine but you were too, and now I just feel like

shit."

I sigh. Again. "Ash I really can't help you. I can't decide for you. I know I really did like you..but now."

My mind instantly wondered to the guy I was sure I loved, but Ashton started to speak.

"Okay..but can I do this one more time?"

I raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but,

He pressed his lips to mine.

And was out the door before I could react.

Bell

My heart raced as I neared the shop I was meeting Michael at.

I saw his red hair even before I entered, and I felt him staring at me as I ordered food.

I sat down across from him, and gave him a weak smile.

His facial didn't change. "Well?"

"Well what?" I repeated. "You called me here, remember?"

He nodded. "Uhm. Yeah. Before I f**k this up anymore...I need to tell you something."

I nod, encouraging him to go on.

"I loved you. I'm sure I still like you, but for a while I was so wishing for us to happen, I didn't even see the girl

who really cared. And I'm a dick for ignoring her. A huge, huge dick."

I smile a little more.

"And before we fight anymore, or hate each other for the rest of out lives, I think we should be friends." He says.

I nod. "I agree. Besides...theres this boy..." I trail off, blushing.

"I gotcha. If you need any advice, call me."

He gets up, and kisses my cheek before he leaves.

Literally minutes after he left, someone joins me.

Ashton?

Carson

My heart races as I get dressed.

I put on a dark peach dress, with a dark brown belt and brown oxfords.

I loosely curl the ends of my hair, and it falls around my ribs, framing my face.

I put on some eyeliner and mascara, and some clear lipstick.

I grin at myself in the mirror as I put my phone, wallet, earbuds, and some mints into my tan over the shoulder bag.

A knock at my door signals that Harry is here.

I open in it only to see....

Liam?
