—————————————————————————————-

It had been two weeks since Harley and you had your big fight. You hadn't spoken since. Most of the family took your side because they knew Harley was being ridiculous. You had been put through hell at school. Everyone was teasing you and Aiden about the kiss. People would hang mistletoe around the school and try to get the two of you under it. Once they actually did, but you ran off before anything happened. 

Aiden kept trying to find you in the halls, but you had managed to dodge him so far. Eventually he gave up on trying to find you and you both went about your ways. You acted like the other person didn't exist, even though it killed both of you.

1 year later...

"Hey babe come here!" Called the voice of your boyfriend Asher.

"Coming!" You said, you walked out of the bathroom and into your bedroom to find Asher sitting on your bed, twiddling with his thumbs.

"What's up?" You said, noticing the look on his face.

"There's something I want to tell you." He said, he patted the bed signaling for you to sit down.

You sat down next to him and looked into his eyes. He then spoke, "I've been trying to find a way to tell you this for the past 6 months, and I'm finally going to do it. These past 6 months of my life have been the best months of my life. I have loved getting to spend each and every day with you. You make me laugh and smile. So I wanted to tell you that.....I love you."

You froze. You had been dreading hearing those words from Asher. He looked at you, "Do you love me."

You opened your mouth trying to say it, but something held you back. Something from your past. Aiden. It hit you now like a ton of bricks, you were still in love with him.

The only reason you had got together with Asher, was to try and forget Aiden. You really did enjoy Asher's company. You loved hanging out with him. You thought you loved him, but you didn't really know love.

You tried to push the words out, but you couldn't. Your eyes started to water with tears as you looked up at Asher. He looked at you, very confused. Then he understood, "Aiden." 

You nodded, "You still love him don't you?"

"Asher, wait! I can explai-"

"You used me."

"I promise you! I didn-" he cut you off, tears starting to form in his eyes.

"6 months! 6 fucking months! And you tell me now you don't love me, that you still have feelings for another boy. And you tell me this right after I tell you I love you? Was I just some kind of rebound?"

"No!" You said, crying, "You weren't! These past 6 months have been the best six months of my life." Besides the 4 months you spent with Aiden, "I have loved hanging out with you. You are such a great friend and partner! I thought I loved you! I really did! I guess I just don't know what love is."

"Damn right. You know how to toy with a guys heart. Sure you say you thought you loved me! But that wasn't enough! You just wanted to use me for my money, for my affection! I was probably just practice, so that when you would date Aiden you would know how to kiss." Asher yelled standing up. 

"I promise you! That wasn't it! I'm 15 I barley know what love is! I'm figuring myself out!" 

"Yeah! You can figure yourself out without using me as a toy!" He screamed. You stood there shaking, tears flowing down. You were so confused. You didn't know what to do or how to deal with it.

Asher turned to you, face extremely red. Tears stained his cheeks, it looked as if he were about to break. Next thing you knew he charged at you placing his hand on your throat and pushing you up against the wall.

His hand started to close around your neck making it hard to breathe. Your vision started to become fuzzy, "A-a-Asher." You stuttered, "I cant b-b-breathe."

Asher hit you straight across the face, causing you to scream in pain. He hit you once more. The pain was overwhelming, you could feel blood on your face. 

Then all went black.
