Ashley POV


Ever since Jordan came home, everything seemed perfect. I loved that I have 2 men that cared about me. Jordan came over and they decide to watch football. I told the boys that I'd be back. After I left them at the house, I went back to my old house. I unlocked the door, and walked in. Gosh, everything looks the same. I walked through the house, remembering my father spoiling me and my mom yelling at me. I stood in front of the door of my parent’s room. I took a deep breath and walked through. God, the room was just the way it was before mom died. I walked into their room and picked up the old picture of them. Damn, they look happy. I looked at the picture of me and dad. I picked it up when something fell on the floor. I picked it up and it was address to me. I picked it up and unfolded the paper. It was my mom's handwriting. It read:

My Dearest Ashley
You know I love you but this is something I had to do. Your father was my sun, my moon, my sky, my air, my lover, my best friend, my husband. There’s no me without him. I'm so sorry for leaving you like this but every time I see you , I see him and I rather be died beside his side than take myself through the insanity. This is the only way...
I love you
Mom

I can't believe my mom could be so fucking selfish! I shook my head as I re read the letter. Damn, who's mom takes their own life because she could stand the fact of being alone? Mine did. I walked out the room, taking the note with me. I locked up the house and I hoped in my car and drove to the house. I pulled up to see Mic's car there. I got out and I walked inside. I opened the door to see Mic and Krissy sitting watching Titanic and I head to the kitchen. I placed the letter on the counter and got me an orange soda. I drunk it down like it was wine.

Voice: Damn, what happened??

I looked up to see Jordan with a worried look on his face. I passed him the letter and I walked to the room and sat on the bed. A few moments later, Jordan walked in.

Jordan: Ashley...

Me: I can't do this. First, my boyfriend has gotten requested for the Army, than I found out that my mom died because she killed herself, and on top of it all, you’re going back when Shad leaves.

Jordan: It's ok. 

I hug him and the tears continue to flow.
