Endless Love || Montgomery De La Cruz

Tᴡᴇɴᴛʏ

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock ringing in my ears. I slammed my hand on the snooze button and threw the covers over my face. I groaned and finally got up to head into the shower. I was hungover from the night before and on top of that i had to wake up early to get ready for school. I went inside my shower and turned on the hot water, letting it run down my face and body for a couple of seconds while trying to remember what happened last night at Jessicas party. As i got out and wrapped myself in a towl, i heard footsteps outside in the hallway. "Ashley? Where are you?" I heard Monty calling out from the hallway. "In the bathroom." I yelled back. He walked in and looked me up and down. "Oh, so now you wanna be my boyfriend." I said sarcasticly and grabbed another towl to dry off my hair. "Ashley, you havent heard, have you." he asked me while looking down at his feet. "What the fuck are you talking about?" I asked him while crossing my arms. "Jeff, h-he died last night in a car crash." I felt the whole world stop. Jeff, my best friend, the guy who was always there for me, the guy who gave me a shoulder to cry on when my mom and dad didnt show up for carrier day at school, the guy who had my back no matter what, had died. And i didnt even get to say goodbye. I felt like i couldnt breath. Monty walked up to me and embraced me in a warm hug. I hugged back and sobbed into his chest. "I-I dont want it to be true Monty. Please tell me your lying." I told him while looking up at him with watery eyes. He just kissed the top of my forhead and pulled me back into the hug. I knew he was telling the truth so i began crying again. I had to face the truth, Jeff died.

I walked back into Liberty high after being gone for two months with tear stained cheeks and puffy eyes. Monty held my hand the whole way over to our friend group. As soon as Jessica saw me she ran up and hugged me. I didnt hug back, still shocked at the news. After she pulled away They all pulled me into a group hug. I hugged back this time, closing my eyes and letting out a breath i had been holding in. Once we all pulled away i go over to my locker so i could get what i needed for first period and turn the dial. "Ashley, can we talk?" Hannah asked, coming up to me crying. "About what." i mummbled back, stuffing my backpack with books. She she took a deep breath and wiped a tear from her eye. "I need to tell you, about what happened-" I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "What are you crying about? You barley knew him." I said, cutting off her sentence."No. Ashley you dont understand-" "I do understand Hannah. Every drama has to be your drama or it doesnt count. Somehow this is all about you. Its Incredible." I said, cutting of her sentence again, slamming my locker door shut and starting to walk away. "Ashley please." Hannah called back to me. "Hannah just dont, ok? Leave me the fuck alone. In fact, I never wanna see you agian." I told her. Walking away for good this time and back to Monty. Rapping my arms around his chest and laying my head on his shoulder. I saw Hannah walk over to Sheri and try to talk to her but Sheri was not having it. Mr.Porter stopped and talked to them about something then walked away. Sheri must have said something harsh when he was out of ear shot because Hannah started to tear up again. When Sheri left, me and Hannah locked eyes for a second. Until she turned away and walked out of the building. "Everything ok babe?" Monty asked me while lifting my chin up so i could look at him. "Not really" I whispered and before he could say anything back i kissed him. When i pulled away he looked at me and smiled. He linked our hands together and kissed me agian. I smiled in the kiss and a tear escaped from my closed eyes.
