When You Love Someone

•Chapter eighteen

Ashely's POV
i woke up the next day in a silent house, i went downstairs to see where my parents were. there was a note on the table that simply said "your dad and i are on holiday it's out anniversary. i topped up your credit card. bye" i rolled my eyes. they never really care they only care about themselves which explains a lot considering their daughter was a self obsessed popular cliche. i made myself a smoothie and scrolled through instagram and clicking on Robyn's. there was a photo of her in a gorgeous tight silk dress in a blush dusty rose colour. i fitted her perfectly she looked so beautiful. the caption read 'outfit for tonight! can't wait to see my baby @ashylee 😘' i smirked and commented 'well baby you look beautiful 😘♥️'. i scrolled through instagram for a bit longer before heading upstairs to get changed and grab my purse. i put on some black joggers that i tightened at the waist with a sports bra and a cropped jumper that made the very bottom of my bra visible. i got into one of my parents cars and drove to the mall, i was training to get my license. i parked the car and walked into the mall.

i wondered around the mall aimlessly with a starbucks in my hand. i walked into multiple shops until i found an outfit, a lacy tight crop top, a black leather short skirt and high heels. i brought the clothes and walked around the shopping centre buying various things i needed. i left the shopping centre around 2 hours after and arrived home just as it started to rain. i sighed as i walked in the door, that's when i saw a letter lying in the ground. i placed my bags down and picked up the paper, i opened it and saw that it had no address on it. i was confused but when i opened it i smiled.
to Ashely,
hey baby! it's a bit random but i was going for a run and knew i would pass your house so i decided to write you a little letter! i'm not sure if your in or not but here this letter is. if you look behind the flower pot you will see a bundle of notes for you i was going to give you to them later today but i don't know i wanted you to have them. make sure you don't read them all at once! one might not make sense but i still wanted to write it. anyways see you later love you lots.
from Robyn x
i walked back outside and saw the bundle of letters and picked them up. luckily they weren't wet and ruined from the rain. i picked up my bags and put everything away before sitting in my bed and undoing a thin bow that kept the bundle of envelopes together. the front of the envelopes all said 'read this when/if'. i smiled and flicked through them, they said 'read if you miss me, read when your sad, read before you go to sleep, read when your happy, read if you feel insecure, read if we had an argument and read if i'm ever gone' the last one was kind of weird but i got out a box that i like to call the box of Ashlyn. it was a box of all our memories and stuff that reminded me of her. i placed the letters in there and looked through photos of us.

later that evening i was in the treehouse drinking with my friends. we were singing music loudly and acting stupid. by 11 we were massively drunk.
"cause i'm mr brightside!" we all sang out of tune and loudly. we danced for hours and counted down from 10 into the new year. by one in the morning i downed the last of my 10th thing of vodka and stumbled back, Robyn caught me and ran her fingers through my hair. i nuzzled my head i to the side of her neck and she laughed. she smelt like her perfume mixed with a smell of Alcohol.
"baby you really are drunk aren't you?" She said and i laughed. i stood back up and looked around to see what everyone was doing. Lilith and Ellie were making out, Jason and Jasmine had gone home after countdown and Liliana and Mia where upstairs in the treehouse. i knew Robyn didn't like getting drunk, she hated being sick, but even i could see that she was slightly out of it. i flopped down on the sofa and reached my arms up and Robyn sat on my lap and wrapped her legs around my waist. i put my arms around her neck and kissed her. things quickly got heated, nothing good came out of two drunk girls making out.

i woke up the next day in a room that wasn't mine, i clothes that didn't belong to me. in fact i wasn't wearing any clothes i was under a blanket with Robyn lying next to me. i looked around the room and grabbed my clothes and put them on. i went into the 'kitchen' and got a bottle of water out of the mini fridge and downed it. my head pounded and my eyes struggled to stay open. i found myself looking for bread to make toast, yes they have a toaster in the treehouse. i made myself some toast and ate it. i finished eating and looked at Robyn she sleepy smiled at me.
"good morning baby"
