It all started with a sticky note// Ashannie

29

Annie's P.O.V.

That night Asher didn't call me. Which made me feel like shit. But hey, I'm an independent woman. I can call him.

Maybe...

I pulled out my phone and clicked on his contact. I hovered my thumb over the call button and after about 7 minutes I finally pressed it.

I put my phone to my ear and and head the dial tone and then it said, "Hey, it's Asher, I can't come to the phone right now either because I'm with da boys," and I heard Carson and Will cheering in the background that made me smile, "or because I'm avoiding you because you're an inconsiderate little bitch who fucked me over, you decide. Kay byeeeee."

Okay that was an interesting voicemail recording.

"Uhh, Hey Ash it's me. Umm, I was just uh, calling to see if we were good from... you know earlier? I was a total bitch about complaining about it. I mean I have no control over you and didn't have the right to go and complain about the people you chose to hang out with. I'm really really sorry Ash, please don't be mad at me but if you don't talk to me again I totally understand. But if not please call me back." I said and hung up.

After a few minutes of pacing nervously around my room I heard my phone ring. I jumped on my phone and quickly answered it, "Asher?"

"Lilia." She said, "did he not call you yet tonight?" She asked.

"Nope. We haven't talked since lunch today. And I feel like a jackass." I said lying down on my bed.

"You shouldn't. You have every right to feel the way you do. He's the one who's not thinking about your feelings. So he's the jackass and if he doesn't talk to you in the next 24 hours then delete his fucking number." She said.

"I can't do that." I said.

"Yes you can. He doesn't have the right to toy with you." Lilia said.

"Lils, he's not toying with me. Just— I don't know. I can't talking about this now. Bye." I said and hung up on her.

I let out a breath and pulled on my hair to tighten my ponytail. I looked at my phone and sat there waiting for Asher to call me.

I sat there... and waited... and waited... and I waited... and waited and my phone rang making me jump.

It was Asher.

"Hi." I said immediately almost too fast making me bit my lip.

"I'm sorry for being such a dick." He said and I let out a breath.

"Ash, you're not." I said sincerely.

"But I am. I didn't think about your feelings. The only feeling that matter the most to me." He said making me smile.

"But you are now. That's the important thing." I said.

"Still, I feel terrible. It's my fault you were upset." He said sounding upset still.

"It's not. What can I do to make you believe that? Please, anything?" I begged.

I hate how he's beating himself up about this. I don't want him to because I don't blame him for it.

"Anything?" He asked.

"Yes, please I'm sorry." I said.

"Tell me who you are so I can see it on your face that you don't blame me." He said.

"Ash," I started.

"Dork, come on you can do that. Please." He said.

"Not now." I said.

"Then when?" He asked.

"You really wanna meet the real me?" I asked bitting my lip looking at myself in the mirror.

"Are you kidding? I can't get you out of my mind. Talking to you..." he started to said and cleared his throat. "Talking to you is that best part of my morning, afternoon, and night." He said making me smile uncontrollably.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow." I said and hung up as fast as I could.

"Holy shit." I said to myself and flopping down on my bed.

"So tell him that you're you." Syd said in a duh tone.

"No way." I said shaking my head and closed my locker shut.

"But he's right over there." Lilia said nodding over to my right.

"Yeah, and I'm here. And this is a real good distance for me." I said smiling.

"Annie, he basically told you he loves you." Anna said putting her hand on my shoulder.

"He did not say that." I said glaring at them.

"But he will." Syd said smiling and started walking away.

"Sydney..." I said following her as she grabbed a piece of paper and a marker from her locker and wrote something on it and folded it up.

"What are you doing?" I said following her as she walked along a wall of lockers.

"Giving him a little kick." She said and shoved the paper into his locker.

"Wait no! What the hell?" I said looking at her. "What did you do? What was in that note?!" I asked raising my voice a little.

"Chill girl, and trust." She said smiling.

The whole morning I could not stop thinking about what Sydney had wrote in the note but it wasn't my name because if Asher had my name he could just look me up in the yearbook and he haven't said a peep to me.

When it was lunch I went to my locker but Syd and the girls walked up to me and linked arms with me and turned me around.

"Uhh, where are we going?" I asked looking at Lilia.

"To the computer lab." She said smiling.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Because I told Asher to go to the library and all of us are gonna email with him and his group." Syd said and my eyes widened.

"Wh— no no no." I said trying to stop them that was no use.

"Come on Annie." Anna said smiling.

Once we got there and I went to me email and saw that Sydney started an email with me= @dork818, Sydney= @Sydnastical, Luke= @bballboy8, Anna= @onlyrealCanadian, Lilia=  @lilspics, Asher= @ashera13, Carson= @Carsonlued, and Will= @WillMill.

"This is gonna be great." I said sarcastically.

And I'm back!

Yay... I guess.

All of your comments were really nice and you guy wanting me to come back was really sweet and I also have a new story in the works.

And by "in the works" I mean I already have 17 chapter written and me being an annoying perfectionist I haven't published them.

And that will be my Christmas present to you for you all being so patient and nice to me.

I will release that book on Christmas Eve, which just happens to be tomorrow, yay again.

And if you like this book then you will like my new one because it's an Ashannie book obviously, kinda like this one where they don't know who each other and they met over text.

Love you all💜🦔🌻
