Over It

Chapter 6

Jenna’s PoV:

“Jenna?” I hear as I open my eyes.  Ash is standing over me, gently shaking my shoulder.  “Breakfast is ready.”

“What? Breakfast?” I say, sitting up.  

“Yeah, I made you breakfast.  Toast and eggs.” He smiles at me. I get up, realizing I have no clothes on.  

“Uhm, have you seen my shirt?” I ask, looking around the floor.  

“Hmm,” Ash looks around, “Well, here wear one of my shirts for now.” He says handing me a large t-shirt.  I grab my underpants off the floor and put them on along with Ash’s shirt, following him to the kitchen.  

“Uh, sit here.” He points to a chair.  I sit down and he places a plate in front of me.  A piece of toast cut in half diagonally to make ears, two eggs for eyes and a ketchup smile sit before me.  

“Wow Ash, you really didn’t have to do this.”

“Yeah, I know but...” He says.

“But its really great of you.  It’s so cute.” I interrupt him.  He looks up from his seat and smiles.  Then it fades and his expression becomes serious.  

“Listen,” He begins, “I know you have Liam, and I feel horrible for this, I just... I saw how sad you were in the car and figured that you needed someone to make you happier.  But I didn’t think this is how it would turn out.  I feel awful.”  I bite my lip .  Should I tell him the truth about what is going on with Liam.

“Ash... The reason I was so upset yesterday is because Niall, that boy I saw before we went to the studio, told me that Liam has been sleeping with another girl.  We haven’t really talked about it but I don’t know what is going to happen.” I tell him.  He raises one eyebrow and thinks for a bit.  

“I’m sorry about that, I can’t imagine what it is like to be cheated on.”

“Yeah, it was horrible, but now I cheated on him and I feel just as horrible, if not worse.”  I say.  “But I’m not sure how I feel about it. I don’t regret it, I just, don’t agree with my actions.  I shouldn’t have done it but I’m not upset that I did. If that makes sense. I like you, I just... I need to talk to Liam first.” I say, staring at my eggs.  

“Yeah, I feel bad too.  I knew that you had a boyfriend and it didn’t stop me.  I’m sorry.”  He says.  

“I just....I feel kind of dirty.” I say.  Ash looks up at me, raises an eyebrow and then winks.  I laugh, trying not to choke on my toast.  

“You know Ash, this breakfast is good and all, but, maybe next time, let me cook?”

“That bad huh?” He laughs.  

“No, it’s not that, it’s just not that good.  But its wonderful that you tried.” I smile.  We finish breakfast  and then Ash drives me home.  I unlock the door and step inside.

“Liam! I’m home!” I shout.  “I uh I think we should talk, honey.” I walk into the kitchen and see dishes still in the sink.  That’s weird, Liam always washes up at night. “Liam?” I look all through our flat and determine he isn’t there.  I decide to call Emmy, I should tell her what I did with Ash.  

“Hello?” She says.

“Hey, uh, can I come over? I have to talk to you about something.”

“Of course, hon.  Come over whenever you can.”  

I got to Emmy’s house as quick as I could.  I knocked on the door, and she let me inside.  

“What’s up? Is everything okay?”  

“Ehhhh...” I say, sitting on her couch, and begin to tell her everything that happened last night.  

Emmy’s PoV:

“YOU DID WHAT?” I say is disbelief.  

“Do I really have to say it again?” Jenna says.

“You didn’t!” I say.

“I assure you I did.”  Jenna says, looking down at her feet.  

“But, you... and Ash.  What the heck? Did you even talk to Liam?”

“No. Not yet anyways.  And when I went home today he wasn’t there and then I came here.”  

“You have to talk to him.  You have to tell him about this!” I say.  

“I know.” Jenna says, looking down at her phone.  

“Is that him?” I ask.

“Yeah, he just wants to know if I’m home for lunch.” I look over at the clock, it’s 12:30 pm.  

“You can eat here if you want, but you have to talk to him today.” I say.

“Okay, thanks Emmy.” She says.  

“You better talk to him.” I say again.  

“Okay, okay, jeez I will.”

Jenna’s PoV:

I got back to my flat around 1:30, I left straight after lunch to try and catch Liam while he was still home.  It was Emmy’s idea, she is forcing me to talk to him, I know have to do it even though I don’t want to.  I unlock the door and walk inside, putting my keys in a bowl near the door.  Just when I am about to shout to Liam I hear a noise in the bedroom and walk towards the door.  I hear a giggle from inside, figuring he is on the phone I quietly open the door.  Inside I see something I was not expecting.  Liam is on my bed, but he is not the only one.  

“Oh, Liam.” I hear a moan.  I drop my bag on the floor and Liam quickly looks over at me.  

“Jenna?!!?!!”  He shouts.  I grab my bag, and take a few a things from the room, including my blanket from the end of the bed, my pillow, from behind Liam, and my ukulele from the dresser.  I know Liam is talking to me but I cannot hear him, or rather do not want to.  I storm out of our flat and down the stairs. When I get in my car I realize that I forgot my keys upstairs.  I get out of my car and go back upstairs to find Liam clothed in the living room.  

“Jenna?” He stands up. “Jenna I am so sorry for what just happened. I, wait, come back!” I hear him say as I walk out the door again.  I rush down the stairs and when I am almost to my car Liam grabs my wrist.  I spin, raising my hand to slap him, but then I stop. I look into his eyes, and he loosens his grip on me.   I rip my hand out of his and get in my car, driving to Emmy’s.
