My Twin's Best Friend

Chapter 56

Nolan's POV:

They're leaving.

What the hell? Are they really leaving because of what I did? They can't, it's not like them to run away from their problems. I need to go find one of the guys, I need to know what the hell is happening and why they're leaving all of a sudden.

I walked around the school looking for any of the guy or even Hazel and Paisley. There were still students roaming around even after school hours but I don't know if any of our friends are still here. The guys and I didn't have practice today so surely they're gone by now and the girls are probably gone as well, who the hell can I talk to?

"Damn it, cut it out, Julian!" I heard a voice sat from one of the classrooms.

Julian. That names sounds familiar, I feel like I've heard of it before and I feel like I should know.

Julian

Julian

Julian!

That's how I know the name, he's one of Ashley's friends.

I followed the direction of the voice and I saw a familiar face, that was definitely Julian, and he was with a girl. The girl was painting and he had his arms wrapped around her waist. They looked happy and they were laughing with each other. It made me miss Ashley and the thought of her leaving came rushing back and I remember the reason I was hear.

They didn't seem to notice me walk in so I made my presence known by clearing my throat. They both stopped what they were doing and looked at me. The girl had a confused look on her face and Julian looked pissed off. I don't know if it's because I disturbed him and the girl he was with or if it had something to do with what happened with Ashley and I, probably the later part.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked clearly annoyed, I sighed and stuck my hands in the pockets of my hoodie.

"I just wanted to ask something." I said, he looked at me wearily and he looked at the girl.

"Babe, can you give us some time? I promise I'll drop you home after this, alright?" He said to her, she nodded her head and grabbed her stuff, Julian gave her his car keys and she walked pass me without looking at me. Once she was out the room, Julian walked closer to me and looked me dead in the eye.

"What the hell do you want? Isn't hurting Ashley enough for you?" He asked, I looked down and took a deep breath.

"Is it true?" I asked him, he raised an eyebrow and I continued.

"Are they really leaving?" I asked again, his eyes softened and he sighed. He sat down on one of the desks and looked up at me.

"I don't know why I'm telling you this, but yeah, they're leaving in a few days." He said, I looked at him and I ran my fingers through my hair.

"But why? Is it because of what I did? Is that really why they're leaving?" I asked him, he scoffed and fake chuckled.

"Oh don't give yourself so much credit, their biological parents are going back home. A few weeks ago, they asked them if they wanted to go back with them and they gave them time to think. They were thinking of staying and to just visit them from time to time, but then this whole thing with you happened and that's what pushed them to leave." He explained with sorrow in his voice, I don't know what to do with the information I just received, but I know one thing's for sure. There is no way in hell I'm going to let Ashley leave.

After talking to Julian, I ran back to my car and rushed to Ashley's house as fast as I could. They're leaving in a few days, how the hell could they just up and leave? Did they not plan on telling me sooner? Was Ashley so desperate to get away from me? I know that I hurt her pretty bad, but does she really have to leave, and so soon at that? I understand that she wants to spend time with her biological parents, but why didn't she tell me sooner?
