Ashlyn was sitting on a cozy arm chair with a cup of hot chocolate in her hand and holding a romantic novel called , "The Sun in also a Star" on the other . She wasn't a fan of love stories/novels but Bella had pretty much forced her into reading it so she had no choice whatsoever.

"This is shit." said Ashlyn as she shut the book.

"Uh-excuse me?" Bella narrowed her eyes clearly offended , it was her favourite book ," Did you even finish it yet?"

"Yup." Ashlyn replied as she took a sip from her hot chocolate.

"How can you not like it?" Bella asked puzzled.

"Oh no! I like the book , it's cute." Ashlyn responded.

"Then why did you call it shit ?"Bella raised a brow.

"It's just the idea of it.." Ashlyn hesitated a little , " Love like that does not exist."

"What do you mean?" Bella asked her curiously.

"I mean-" Ashlyn answered , "Loving someone as though he or she is the only person in the world , falling so deep in love with someone that you would be willing to sacrifice your life if it means to keep the person safe , being 'that' loyal . I mean that's crazy."

"No it's not. Love is the most wonderful thing in love." Bella sighed as she placed her hand on her chest.

"Dumbledore , would've liked her." Ashlyn mumbled to herself.

"What?" Bella questioned her.

"Nothing." Ashlyn shook her head as she took another sip from her hot chocolate.

Bella looked at her confused then asked , " What about Noah then , you were in love weren't you?"

Ashlyn bit her lip , She did indeed love him but it wasn't that intense was it? 

"Well.." She started , "It was-" 

She was cut off by her phone's notifications.

"Excuse me for a sec." Ashlyn said as she reached for her friend kind of glad she didn't have to answer the question.

When, she checked her phone . Her eyes widened and she almost choke on her hot chocolate.

"NO WAY!" Ashlyn shouted.

********************************

A/N - Sorry for the extremely short chapter , but I just wanted it to be like a cliffhanger . What do you think happened or maybe who texted her that made Ashlyn give that reaction , Let your imaginations take hold . Till then.

Peace!
