In A Heartbeat

Chapter 21

After Cole dropped me I went to bed immediately I was exhausted after everything that happened who wouldn't be, I don't think mom noticed I was gone or she didn't care to because everywhere was dead silent.

I lay on my bed comfortably my safe haven and I doze off thinking about a particular boy.

"Ding ding ding." My alarm went off and I stood up groggily, I yawned loudly and stretched my hands before quickly making my way to the bathroom to have a quick shower.

I walked over to my closer and pulled out a black ripped jeans and a maroon shirt, I did a little make up and tied my hair into a high ponytail

I went downstairs and got out of the house quickly I don't feel like facing her.

                 School my best place in the world, note the sacarsm , home would have been my best place in the world but considering what happened I don't think so, I remember old times when we were one happy family.

"Ashley why are you crying is something wrong dear."

"D-ad I had a b-ad dream." I said whimpering as tears stream down my face.

" Don't cry daddy is here now no one will hurt you, how about we get some cake and you tell me all about your dream." He says and carries me on his shoulder.

"Ha ha ha." I was laughing in seconds as dad was telling me about a time when he was little, I was laughing hard that I even forgot I had a nightmare.

"What are you two still doing up." Mom says kissing dad.

"Ewwwww." I said covering my eyes.

"Don't tell me you were peeping." My dad asked tickling me.

"N-oooo I w-as-n't." I said laughing hard.

"Now that's enough honey time for bed." Mom says.

"Aww mom can't I play a little more."I said pleadingly.

She laughs and dad carry's me up to my room and lay me on my bed.

"Good night Teddy bear." He says kissing my forehead.

"Good night Dad." I say in a tiny voice and yawn before finally drifting to sleep.

"Earth to Ashley." Andrea snapped her fingers in front of me and brought me back to reality.

"Hey." I greeted side hugging her.

"Are you okay." She asks eyeing me curiously.

Should I tell her, probably not I need to deal with this on my own.

"What makes you think am not." I ask.

"You have been acting strange lately." She says.

Is it that obvious, am allowed to be sad right.

"Well am just stressed out." I say.

"Is there a certain reason why, boys issue huh?" She says eyeing me.

Way to go Andrea.

"Is it Dayne or Cole oops, is it because Cole and Kaitlyn are dating." She screeched.

"Oh speak of the devil." Cole and Kaitlyn walk into the school together, Kaitlyn got her arm around Cole's waist and he also holds her waist, asshole.

I stare at them and I guess he notice my gaze on him because he looks at me, we stare at each other for a while until he breaks eye contact.
