~Ashlyn~
Ohh- my- god!
I remember what happened last night. I remember having a few glasses of fruit punch which was actually something else.
We went to Callum's house, he told me about his brother. I remember hugging after that.
Then..... We kissed.
Callum Wolfhard kissed me!
And I didn't pull away.
Why didn't I pull away?
I decided not to tell anyone about this not even Nat.
But I needed to talk to him.
I was calling Callum for an hour but he didn't pick up my calls.~Callum~
Ashlyn was calling me continuously it was hard trying to ignore her.
She was drunk last night when we kissed. And that made me mad at myself.
I decided to ignore her from now on.
It is true that I love her. I liked her since middle school.
And that's one of my secrets. No one knows about my crush on Ashlyn not even my friends.
But she likes someone else.
And I just want her to be happy.
I chose her to be my fake girlfriend because I wanted an excuse to be around her.
But I never meant to take advantage of a drunk girl.
I was drunk too. Maybe she could forgive me.
I was successful keeping a low profile and ignoring Ashlyn for three days until... She finally caught me.
"Where were you and why didn't you pick up my calls?" She demanded.
"Been busy" I shrugged.
"Is this all about that night?" She asked.
I decided not to answer.
"Listen we were drunk...." She laughed as if it didn't matter to her."shit happens....we have nothing to regret" she added.
"I don't regret it" I said "I just wish that we weren't drunk"
I walked away before she could say anything.~Ashlyn~
That kiss affected me a lot. I couldn't stop thinking about it since then. I avoided talking to Liam, I felt like cheating on him. I even felt less attracted to him which was wierd.
I felt like it didn't mean anything to Callum. He was a popular bad boy. He must have kissed a lot of girls without even feeling anything. That's why I tried acting all cool around him.
But the thing I was feeling was wierd. Was I feeling something for him?
Is it because of this feeling I agreed to be his fake girlfriend? Because I know it wasn't pity.
Oh my god! I'm in love with the bad boy.
But what did he mean by "I just wish that we weren't drunk"
Does he....?
No absolutely not.
He doesn't love me... he's just playing around.
That's all.I couldn't talk to Callum for a whole week. He kept ignoring me. But I got a chance to talk to him at last. Jake invited us to his party and I knew Callum would be there so I agreed to go.
Jake's party was almost the same as Riley's. Drunk people everywhere.
I decided not to drink anything this time.
Nat was kissing Tyler in a corner. Jake was fooling around with girls. I felt lonely.
So I decided to find Callum. I had seen him earlier talking to Tyler. He can't keep ignoring me like this.
Before I could get on a searching spree, I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I turned around to see Liam.
What is he doing here?
I couldn't see a reason he would be invited to a party like this.
I mean the only reason I was invited was because Nat was dating Tyler.
"Hey!"he said smiling.
Any other day I would have melted for that smile but today was not that day.
"Hey..." I replied awkwardly.
"Your boyfriend invited me here" he said smiling
"Who?"I said absently.
"Callum, he invited me" he said with the same tone.
What the hell?
Why does he keep saying that?
"He's...not.....my boyfriend"I said through gritted teeth.
"Sure" he smirked.
I rolled my eyes and started walking away.
"Wait Ashlyn..... I'm sorry" Liam was saying.I stopped when I spotted Callum in a distance. I start walking towards him and he tries to walk away, but I catch up with him.
" What's wrong with you?" I whisper-ask him.
He sighed.
He grabbed my hand and led me to an empty room.
After he closes the door he says- "you wanna know what's wrong with me?"
"I love you dammit" he nearly shouts.
What?!?
No!
He must be joking.
"And it's true..." He continued " I love you since middle school"
After a long pause-
"Why did you call Liam to the party?" I asked.
"Because... I want you to be happy..." He said.
"And why did you keep ignoring me?" I asked
" Same reason...I want you to be happy and you won't be happy with me."he said
"Why not? It's not a coincidence that we kissed." I cried "its not a coincidence that I didn't pull back"
"You were drunk Ashlyn"he reminded.
"So we're you" I said.
"Exactly! Like you said earlier shit happens" he said " we should forget what happened"
"But.." I started... but he cut me off.
"We can't friends either...."he said "I can't be around you for long or else I might do something stupid"
I tried to say something but he almost threw me out of the room.~Callum~
Tears were flowing down my cheeks. I hardly ever cried. I followed the saying 'boys don't cry'. Last time I cried was when Dylan died.But it seemed like the right thing to do. I'm not right for her. I might hurt her if I came close to her. She isn't safe with me. I had to let her go. Maybe she will understand. Maybe she will forget all about it.
She has to move on, that's why I called Liam. Maybe she'll forget about the kiss if she spends time with Liam.
