Endless Love || Montgomery De La Cruz

~ Timeskip 1 week ~

It was my study hall period, so I was on a computer in the library. I was scrolling through a website to find the perfect dress to wear to the winter formal. "Hey" Jeff said as he sat down next to me. I waved at him, keeping my eyes glued to the screen. "Ah, dress shopping" he said while looking at the computer. I looked at him and laughed. " yeah and i need your help." i replied. "The dance is in three days though. You have time." he said trying to calm me down. I kept scrolling until he pointed at one. "wait" he said. I stoped scrolling and clicked on the dress he had pointed out. It was a baby blue colored dress with a short poofy skirt. It had no straps and rinestones all over the top. "you'd look really good in it" he said. I looked over at him, his eyes met mine and he gave me a slight smile. I grabbed my phone and took a picture of the website name. "Thank you Jeffy" i replied while giving him a hug. "You two look comfortable." It was Montys voice. I quickly pulled away and closed the website. I akwardly laughed as he greeted Jeff and grabbed a chair from a diferent table to sit next to us. Once he sat down Jeff said he was late to his tutoring session with Clay so Monty got up and took Jeffs spot. "You ok?" he asked me while putting his hand on my thigh. I looked up at him and nodded. I didnt want to tell him what Jeff had just told me. I was affraid that it would make him jealous and angry. Everyone knew what Monty looked like when he was angry and it was not pretty. "So, i was thinking. Since we havent been on a real date yet, maybe i could take you to the crestmont?" he asked in a hopeful tone. I smiled and nodded in response. "Is eight good? Because if its not, we could do it another time or even another day-" I cut off his sentence with a peck on the lips. " Eight is perfect" i replied while picking up my stuff and walking out of the library.

"He finnaly asked you!?" Jessica squealed while we were walking to my car. "God keep your voice down Jess." i told her while looking around and lauging. " And yes he did" i smiled at the thought. "Hey Ashley, Hey Jessica" Hannah said catching up to us. "Hey..Hannah" i said akwardly while Jessica waved to her. "So i was thinking if maybe all three of us could go to Monets tonight and catch up." She said. "Sorry Hannah i cant, i have a date with Montgomery." i said while bitting my lip, trying to hold back the smile forming on my lips. "Montgomery? Like, Montgomery De La Cruz?" she responded in a confused tone. "Yea, do i need your permission or something?" i scoffed. "What? No. I just meant that hes kinda mean and is known for sleeping around and shit. I just dont want you to get hurt." she said in a sincere tone. I turned around to look at her. I couldn't believe she just said those things about Monty. Even after i told her that i thought he was different and that he wasn't like Justin. "You dont know shit Hannah. Can you not tell rumors from the truth? I though you of all people would have been able to, or are you just jelous that i can get a real boyfriend?" i snapped back. She looked at me with wide eyes then at Jessica. Jessica had her arms crossed, looking at Hannah with a angry expression. Hannah started to tear up and speed walked away from us. "Shes a bitch" Jessica said breaking the silence. She grabbed my hand and when we got to my car she pulled me into a hug. "Dont belive a word she said Ash. You know the real Monty. And thats all that matters." she said. I pulled away and nodded.

As i took a video of the argument, I could tell Hannah was upset. I watched her walk away from Jessica and Ashley with tears flowing down her cheeks. I knew then and there that Ashleys true colors had shown, and i had caught it all on tape. I finally had something against her. I put my camera away and looked around to see if anyone was watching me. I then walked back into the school to make copys of what i had just filmed.

When i got home i ran upstairs to get ready for my date with Monty. I was beyond exited. I started digging through my closet when my phone started to buzz. i looked at it and it showed Jessicas caller ID. I accepted the facetime call. "Hey girl!" Jessica said in a cheerful tone. "Hey jess" i said while sighing. "Whats up?" she asked me. "Nothing, i just dont know what to wear." "Here lemme see." she said. i faced my phone towards my closet. She pointed out a red off-the-shoulder top and black ripped jeans. I picked them from my closet, and put them on. "Perfect!" she said as she clapped her hands together. "Now for accessories." i told myself. I picket out a clear belt with metal holes and clear hoop earings. While i was curling my hair me and Jessica were talking about my argument with Hannah. "Of course i feel bad." i said while curling the last strand of straight hair. "Yeah well i dont blame you for snapping at her." she replied while doing her math homework. I moved on to doing my makeup. "Ok well still, i just wasnt thinking and now shes probably gonna go tell on me to Mr.Porter or something." i laughed while putting on my last layer of mascara. "Yeah probably." she replied also laughing. "Ok so what do you think?" i asked her while pointing my camera to the mirror so she could see my finished look. "you look beautiful Ash." Jessica said. "They grow up so fast." she added on while pretending to wipe a tear from her eye. "Oh shut up Jess." i laughed. I checked the time and it was 7:50. I grabbed a pair of red slip-on vans from my shoe rack and put them on. "So are you exited or what?" Jessica asked. "Of course i am Jess. Ive liked him since freshman year, and i finally get to go on a date with him." i responded. Before Jessica could say anthing back I heard a knock on the door. "Speaking of," i said. "Have fun Ash, love you" Jessica said while blowing a kiss at the camera. "Will do." i responded and repeated the same motion. I hung up the phone and put it in my purse. I went downstairs, up to the door and opened it to see Monty standing there wearing his signature flannal shirt and blue jeans. I traced my hand on his flannal shirt from his chest to the rim of his jeans. "Wow, fancy" i said. Before he could explain himself i pulled his lips onto mine. He pulled away and looked me up and down. "You on the other hand," he started while putting his hand on my waist. "look hot" he finshed, slidding his hands down to my butt. "We dont want to be late, do we?" i asked him while pulling his hand away from my lower back and linking it with mine. We walked to his car and he opened the car door for me. I put my hand up to my chest and fake gasped, acting suprised. "What a gentleman." i said. He laughed as i got into the car. He closed the door and got into his side. He turned the car on and pulled out of the driveway.

As we were walking up to the ticket booth i noticed a familiar curly haired brunette, giving tickets to other customers. "Shit" i mumbled and dragged Monty into a corner. "What? Whats wrong?" He asked me worried. "I thought Hannah didnt work on Wednesdays." i sighed. "Whats the problem with that?" he asked me again, clueless. I sighed and told him what happened a couple hours earlier. "Damn" he replied. "Yeah, and i do not feel like dealing with her bull shit right now." i told him. "Ok i have a idea, i'll show up first, you wait like five minutes and when you show up and she tells you im inside, just be like Oh my god, small world! kay? i told him. "Seriously?" he asked me while laughing a little. "Ninth row, I'll see you in there." I started to walk away. "Ok, but i get aisle." he told me. "You wish" i responded with a quick kiss to his lips. I walked up to the booth and acted suprised to see hannah there. "Oh hey Hannah..." i said while looking down to my feet. "Hey Ashley, im sorry for what i said earlier. Really, i am, i just dont want you to get hurt." she told me while getting a ticket from the stack. "Its ok, i understand where your coming from." i replied, getting my wallet from my purse. "Put it away" she told me while sliding the ticket under the hole. "What good is it having a designated friend who works at the movies if you cant get in for free." I smiled and took the ticket from the counter when Monty showed up next to me. I mentaly face palmed myself. "Hey, Hannah" he said akwardly to her. "Hey Montgomery" She replied back. "Fancy seeing you here" she said breaking the silence. "Yeah we were just um-" "on a date" she said finishing Montys sentence. There was a second of silence until Monty spoke up "So, could i get one?" He asked snapping Hannah out of her daze. She grabbed another ticket off the pile and slid it under the hole. "Ten dollars, please" she added on. I looked at her with a confused look. Monty pulled a ten dollar bill out of his pocket and placed it on the counter. Monty took the ticket and started walking away. I was about to walk away until i paused for a second. "Hey, if you want, we can go grab coffee together afterwards" i asked her. "Oh, uh, i dont want to intrude." she replied while looking at Monty then back at me. Before i could respond Monty said "Ash, we're gonna miss the trailers" i looked at him then back at Hannah. "Go. Enjoy the movie. We can catch up whenever." I nodded and walked with Monty inside the building. "Jesus, your always putting me on the spot" i told him in an annoyed tone. "Fuck what she thinks, if she really wanted the best for you she would let you be with someone who makes you happy" he responded while waiting for our tickets to be ripped. "i guess" i said. "she seemed cool, right?" i added on. "Yes" he said with a little laugh at the end. "Can we just enjoy our first real date, please" he asked. I smiled in response and linked our hands together.
