Loving Ace| 16+✔️

Chapter 43

Camila's POV

Mum left the kitchen a while ago to go upstairs and I spoke with Julia for a while about Ash, I get why she said no to Asher wanting her back.

"He loves you, you know that right?"

"I'd rather him tell me than other people, actions speak louder than words and he needs to show me the better version of himself..he needs to show himself the better version of himself and to allow that person in before he hurts himself more than he already has"

I nod because she's speaking facts, Asher needs help and of course Julia is his help like Ace is mine but she wants him to help himself before she allows him back in.

"Why didn't you tell me about Ace?" She asks.

"We didn't tell anyone but some people found out, I know you're a rubbish liar and I know you were with Ash, we didn't want to risk it even though he fucked it ourselves" i tell the truth.

She nods also in understanding, "I am a terrible liar" she laughs and I join in.

"Yeah"

"I have to go, it's late and I have a long drive"

"You got a car?"

"Yeah, my parents said it wasn't them but it's probably an early birthday gift and so I can drive myself to my new campus" I'm going to hate it when she leaves.

"That's great!" I say ecstatic for her.

"Anyway" I stand up and we have a very long hug.

"I've already said bye to Asher but can you make sure he's okay" she asks when we reach the front door.

"Of course" I give her a hug again before we both says our byes.

I walk into the living room seeing Ace sitting on the couch resting his head back, I walk over behind the couch hovering my head over his to see his face, he half smile at me.

"You okay?" I ask and give him a quick peck before walking around the couch to sit beside him, his head sits up as he watches my every move.

He smiles again, "Yeah"

"You sure?" I cup his cheek turning my body towards him.

I wonder how their talk went?

"What did Ash say?"

"Looks like I only have you now" he says just above a whisper.

"What?"

"If you're not losing friends, you're not growing up" his voice shaky and he sighs taking my hand away and locking our fingers together.

What does that even mean?

"What did he say?" I ask again.

"That, only that"

"So..you're not friends anymore?" I question.

He shakes his head, "Nah"

"What!? He can't be fucking serious!" I stand up unlocking our hands with my voice raised.

Ace's fingers wrap around my wrist and he drags me back down into the couch, "it is what it, I'm just happy he didn't make me chose between you or him, he chose for himself"

"But you're not happy, Asher is your best friend"

He sighs, "I'm tired okay, lets just sleep" he says fed up of talking about it.

I nod with a soft convincing smile, "Okay"

We walk upstairs hand in hand, we both crawl into my childhood bed in our now normal pyjamas which is our underwear or our birthday suits, tonight it's underwear.
