The hate game

30

Dylan's POV

I don't even know what I said or how I said it, they just came out of me and as I said them I felt freer than I've felt in a very long time. 

I look at Ashley again and reach out to wipe her tears, I don't like seeing her crying and the fact that I'm the cause of her tears is also very alarming, looking at her I realize something "Another person would have given up on me but you are just like my sister, she always saw the good in me and she stood by me, I realize that now, I found her diary few weeks ago and I knew I had no reason to hate you because you were never the problem, I was the problem and I destroyed her but I didn't want to destroy you as well that was why I pushed you away but you persisted like she did and I can't be more grateful Ashley cause your persistence and your letters got me through the most difficult time of my life." I laugh and shove my hair backwards "God Ashley this was the first time since her death that I didn't drink myself to stupor and destroy things in the house because I was reading your letters, you were like my anchor that night."

I moved closer to her placing my hands on her cheek "It was why I decided to talk to you cause I realized that I needed you and I had to stop pushing and start accepting that God has given me another chance to get things rights and God help me if I don't do things right this time"

I hold her hands "Ashley, let's start on a new slate, wipe away the past, let me be good to you, I promise to be a better person I swear it" When she starts to shake her head, I begin to panic when she said "We all make mistakes Dy, I should have just listened to them that night and gone to Soph's house but I was too stubborn, I'm at fault too just as you are but we can't reverse time, we can't take away the bad things that have happened to us because those bad things are what molds us into the people that we are, into the people we are going to become" I pull her closer to me and hug her "Everytime I look back and imagine what would have happened if I had done things different that day but me wondering won't change anything Dy. We can't wipe away the past cause it's a vital part of our future and our present, we can just do things in a different way starting from now cause there's nothing to wipe away"

" You are right Chipmunk, you are always right" I kiss her forehead and just hold her to me until her tears subsided and turn into hiccups then into soft snores.

Ashley's POV

Why is this pillow hard, I form a fist and try to make it soft by pounding to no avail then my pillow starts chuckling. When do pillows start chuckling, I begin to wonder and then it dawned on me and I jump immediately and see a red faced laughing Dylan.

I stand up from the couch and stomp to the bathroom, wash my face and come back to the living room, when I get to the living room I see Dylan going through his phone and laughing like a maniac, I walk over and peep at his phone, I got a glimpse of my sleeping face before he moves the phone from my view.

"Dylan!!!!!! Please tell me you didn't take pictures of me while I was asleep"

"I'm sorry I can't do that Chipmunk cause I did" he says and waves the phone in front of me.

I lunged at him in an attempt to get his phone but he put the phone out of my reach, I started stretching trying to reach the phone but no such luck. I finally give up and plop down on the couch sulking.

" I hate you Dy just know that" I say to him while sticking my tongue out at him.

"I love you too" he replied and continues pressing his phone

"What's the time Dy, aren't you hungry, let's go get something to eat"

"I thought you'd never ask, let me grab my keys and we'll be off" he says as he bounds up the stairs. Few seconds later he comes back downstairs and we head towards his car for McDonald's.
