When Dreams Fly

Chapter 7: never

I don't exactly know why I was crying. I barley knew the guy. I guess it just hurt to see someone I thought I wanted to be with, be with someone I hated. Maybe it was just an excuse to cry. I hadn't cried in months, maybe a year.

"MIA!!" He shouted, and ran towards me,"what's the matter?" He sat down beside me.

"You..were..with her," I choked.

"What? Who? That blonde chick?"

I nodded,"I know you don't know her but she's practically my arch enemy. She's never let me have happiness, always taking it from me. The only thing she hasn't taken is running and I guess that's why I love it so much. She can't take it. Nobody can."

He sat there silently awhile, listening and thinking I suppose. Then he broke the silence.

"Im sorry. I won't talk to her anymore," he said looking at me with gentle eyes.

"What? You can if you want, I don't own you, were not an 'item'."

He scooted closer,"Mia, your the most beautiful girl I've ever layed eyes on and a heck of a friend. I'm not gonna lose you for some preppy bimbo," he said half laughing.

I half smiled,"you think I'm...Beautiful??"

"Estas bonita," he smiled, knowing I had no idea what he had said.

"Wha---" I was cut off by Macy. I gritted my teeth.

"Why are you talking to her, Ash? Do you know her?" She said throwing her hands in all directions.

"Ohhh Macy,honey, he doesn't know any better. He's a newbie,"Abbie said giggling with Melanie.

"C'mon Ash," Macy taunted,"I'll show you around. Let's g--"

"No." He said firmly.

"What! Did you just say no?!" She screamed, turning red.

"Well I didn't say yes," he replied.

"Buuu--uggghhhh.. Errg" she screamed and stomped away, her two sidekicks on her heels.

I wiped my tears away and turned towards him. He smiled and wiped what I had missed, my mascara I guess. Then he stood up he reached out his hand to help me up. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up but instead of letting go he pulled me into a hug. 

"I'm sorry," he muffled.

I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck,"we should go, it's going to start more than sprinkling soon."

He let go and we walked back inside. Dianne and Tyler met us by the door, quickly taking over. Dianne ripping my left arm and Tyler on my right, making Ash fade to the back.

"What the hell happened?!" Tyler asked.

"Do I need to start a fight!" Dianne exclaimed.

"You hardly seem the fighting tyy---"

"WHAT HAPPENED!!"They both shouted.

"Nothing guys!! Seriously!!!"

They both gave non-believing looks but nodded,"okay," they both said in union.

I backed up, needing space, only to bump into Ashton. I turned and smiled, his dark eyes looking back into mine.

Ann stepped forward smiling,"who's this?"

"This is Ash or Ashton, however he prefers," I said.

"Ashton," he said, extending his hand.

She reached out and shook his hand,"Dianne, or Ann. Most people call me Ann."
