All Because Of Him

Chapter 12

Ashton is at the side

~~Chapter twelve~~

After I said hi, there was nothing but a silence. To be honest it was quite awkward. But it was nice to hear his voice again. "Why are you calling me Layla?" He said just quietly. I think he was happy I called him. "I know I said for you to forget about me and not to talk to me. But why are you doing this to yourself." I said. He stayed silent, because he knew what I was talking about. "Blake, why did you ruin your basketball career." I added. The next thing I know is the phone hung up. That asshole hung up on me. Being the stubborn person I am, I called him again and again and again. I kept ringing until he picked up. It was so funny, because whenever I called him again, I threatened if he didn't pick up he would be a dead man.

"What do you want Layla?" He snapped at me. "Look I know what I did was wrong, but I didn't want you to ruin your basketball life for me. I couldn't live with myself if you did that." I said. "Well news flash Layla, my career is already ruined. But thats not what hurts." He said sharply. "What hurts Blake?"I asked trying to keep interest in the topic. "You told me you were going to another country two minutes before you left, I thought we could tell each other everything." He said. A whole lot of guilt built up in my stomach, he's right. I'm the worst girlfriend ever. "Your right, I'm a horrible person." I said, and started sobbing. He sighs, "Don't cry Layla, your not a bad person. I just wish that you said something, we could still be together if you said something." He said.

Before I could speak again there was a knock on the door, "Blake can you wait a couple of minutes there's someone at my door." I said. "I can you call you back later if you want." He said. "No this will take a minute, I'll talk to you real soon." I said.

Still holding the phone I opened the door, to see his blonde hair and his gleaming green eye lit up when he saw me. "Ashton, what are you doing here?" I ask. I hold the phone back to my ear and say. "I got go." Even with his voice saying 'Layla who is that, don't tell me your with another guy. Layla talk to me, I don't want to loose you again'. I ignored it, I was more focused with the handsome guy in front of me.

He takes a step forward, and kisses me. I was shocked, I didn't even know him very well. Although he started it, it felt so good to push him away, I want his lips on mine. His kisses weren't as good as Blake's, god maybe if I date someone else he will get out of my head. There will be a good possibility that I could fall for Ashton too. I just have to remember the past is the past, I have to keep moving forward and that will point to my new future.

Ashton pulled out of the kiss with a huge smile on his face. "Um, I came over to give you something you left at the gym." He said grinning. "Oh yeah, what's that." I said grinning like a moron. "The date, you said you couldn't go to. Don't think I'm going to give you up that easily. I've been there and I'm not doing that again." He said. "Hahaha, Ashton I'm sorry I'm not ready for anything too serious."I said in the most serious tone I could give him. "I think I can change that." He said before pulling me into another kiss.

"So Layla, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked after he pulled out of the kiss. Was this really happening? Was I getting over Blake this quick? It's so not like me to do any of this. "I would love to." I said dreamily, it felt weird because it felt like I was cheating on Blake with Ashton. "Great, I'll pick you up at noon then." He said getting ready to leave. "Why are you picking me up for?" I asked dumbly, like the person I am. "For our date, silly. So I'll pick you up at 12 ok." He said and then kissed my forehead and left out my door. "Okay." I practically said to myself because he had already left. I randomly started dancing around my lounge room, saying 'he asked me out'.

I sat on the couch, because I was getting tired. I couldn't be bothered to go to my bed. It was close to midnight, I sat there, my eyelid grew heavy. I grew more tired by the second. I finally gave up trying to stay awake, so I closed my eyes going to sleep.That was until my phone rung loudly, alerting me to stay awake. "Hello." I said yawning. "Hey sweetie, did I wake you?" My mother asks me. "I was about to go to sleep, why are you calling its midnight." I say complaining. "Well anyway I would like to see you on the holidays, you can bring a friend. If you like." She stated. "Mum, can I call you later. I'm about to fall asleep." I whined. "Of course darling I'll talk to you soon. Also come back to America in maybe four months ok. Because at the moment I have a lot of work to do. Anyway Have a good sleep, and stay safe." She said the last part seriously, my mum has always worried to much about me.
