In A Heartbeat

Chapter 17

After yesterday's party and what happened I won't attend parties anymore.

Today is Saturday the day my dad is moving out of the house I don't want to be reminded of this fact since I never imagined that this day would happen, I mean my parents weren't the perfect couple but they never argued and they looked happy together or so I thought.... This is so frustrating, I hear movement downstairs and I know it's my dad packing his stuff I don't want to even look at him right now, I do not want to be reminded of my dad so I decided to watch Netflix movies all day.

Towards noon have finished four movies and I ran out of popcorn and drink, I grudgingly went downstairs to get a refill I got downstairs and I looked around me, my home that was once filled with laughter doesn't look like home anymore, my parents wedding pictures and even family pictures have been taken down, I sigh as the thoughts of my childhood clouds my memory and tears stream down my face as I breakdown totally letting the tears flow freely have tried to been tough ever since I heard about the divorce but I can't hold it back anymore it feels as if a big part of me left with my dad I miss him so much and I don't want him to leave not now not ever.

I jolted back to reality when the door bell rang, I quickly clean my face and I adjusted my PJs.

I opened the door the person standing at the door made me freeze.

OK, Cole was the least person I expected to be standing at my door, what is he doing here and how the hell does he know where I leave.

"I must have startled you." Cole says grinning.

"How did you find my place?" I ask calmly, somehow Cole's presence makes me calm staring at his mesmerizing eyes seems to drown all my problems."Come in."I opened the door wide enough to fit him.

"Your friend gave me your address." He said taking a seat on my dad's favourite seat I try to ignore the pain am feeling when I remember my dad.

"Trust me am not surprised." Cole raise an eyebrow but he drops it.

When I mean am not surprised I meant Andrea has done that before when she gave Dayne my address.

He looks at me and I look at his eyes a second long before my eyes finds it's way to the floor.

"I came over because I was worried about you since I didn't see you at the party after after the truth or daaaare." His voice lingers in the air as he completes his sentence.

I remember the make out session between him and Kaitlyn and my blood boils.

"So........ Why did you leave?" He asks.

"Why do you think." I challenged.

Ding Dong!!!  The door bell rang I sprang up,who could that be mom? I don't want her to see me with Cole have been through enough already, I walk over to the door and opened the door, I was so flushed so I shut the door in panic.

"Who is that ash?" Cole asks as he notice my uneasiness.

I open the door slowly to see a surprised Dayne. What's wrong Ashley. "Dayne asks coming in but he stops in his track on seeing Cole." I see you have company."

This is weird awkward and uncomfortable in every possible way. Am sitting here on the couch watching both Cole and Dayne have a stare off, watching them clench and unclench their fist in a deafening silence.

"You guys want anything." I offer trying to break the awkward silence in the room, as I stand up Dayne immediately stands up beside me and holds my wrist and I freeze. "Are you sure you are okay after last night."he asks.

" Why what happened last night?" Cole asks standing up beside me.

Way to go Dayne, you just had to mention last night huh!!

This is intense.

               "Um nothing." I say answering Cole's question.

"It's not nothing." Dayne as he furrows his brow.

You need to stop talking Dayne.

"I guess yo didn't know but Ashley was attacked at your party last night." Dayne says tightening his grip on my hand.

"You were attacked and you didn't tell me." Cole tense and he grab hold of my other hand.

"I wouldn't say attack that's a strong word compared to what happened last night isn't it Dayne." I say trying to lighten the mood.

Now Cole and Dayne are looking at each other intensely and they both tighten their  grip on my wrist, hey an the one suffering here.

"Cut it out you  two,you are hurting me." I say frustrated. It was like they were in a trance and my voice brought them back to reality, immediately as if been controlled they release their hold of my hand, my poor hands hurt now.

"Am sorry." They say simultaneously. "Am sorry,are you hurt." Dayne says rubbing my wrist gently which sends tingles down my spine and I don't even know why am getting this tingles its not  like I like him right?

Or do I ?

"Am okay Dayne." I say after a while. Cole watches us with Cold eyes and leaves.
