Brothers
Best Friend
Chapter 13
"Are you expecting someone? I didn't
invite anyone over..." I said, wondering if Harry had
invited somebody over since the doorbell just rang.
"No, but I'll get it." he said, getting off the
couch and walking over to the door.
"It's for you Ashley." he said, giving me a warning
look as we crossed paths when I went to see who it was.
"Danielle?" I questioned, shocked that she was here.
What did she want?
"Well, well. If it isn't Miss 'I'm gonna steal
your boyfriend.' We need to talk." she said, an attitude
in her voice that I didn't like.
I walked to the kitchen, so Harry could hear our conversation if
I needed his help. Which hopefully I wouldn't.
"What's up?" I asked casually, as if nothing was
wrong.
"Liam and I broke up. He was so caught up on this girl, and
even admitted to kissing her while we were still together. Do you
know anything about this?"
"No, and I'm sorry to hear about you and Liam." I
said, playing dumb.
"Oh SHUT UP." she said, grabbing my hair, making my
flinch.
"You kissed my boyfriend. I thought I told you to stay away
from him. I will make your life a living hell if you don't
back off." she said, her voice loud and even.
"You should leave." I said, raising my own
voice.
"And you should stay away from Liam. After all, you
wouldn't want me to tell everybody your dirty
little secret, would you?" she asked, a devilish glare in
her eyes. What was she talking about?
"That's right. Crystal told me." she said, glaring
at me.
Suddenly I realized what she was talking about. My mind flashed
back to a week before Homecoming, when I sat cross-legged on my
bed, revealing the only secret I kept from anybody to my best
friend, Crystal.
"Please Danielle. I'll stay away from him. You must
really hate me." I said, tears forming in my eyes. No
Ashley, you can't give Danielle the satisfaction of making
you cry. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"Well, yeah. I do." she admitted.
"Get out of my house." I said, pointing to the door.
She didn't move, so I screamed even louder.
"Just don't mess with me. I can be your worst
nightmare."
She glared at me again, slowly making her way to the side door
before turning around, opening her mouth to say something
more.
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" I screamed, and at this point,
Harry walked into the kitchen and pushed her towards the
door.
"Hey, are you alright? What did she say?" Harry asked,
trying to comfort me.
"Nothing. She just told me to stay away from
Liam." I said, wiping my eyes.
“Hey now,”
Harry put his hand on my back and rubbed slightly, which only
caused me to feel like I was a child again.
“Don’t worry. I’m glad they broke
up.”
I turned up and met his eyes, and sighed a shaky breath.
“Oh really.”
I let out a stifled laugh, rolling my eyes. I felt completely
alone and depressed, want to just fall asleep and never wake
up.
“Totally. She was way too bitchy for my liking.”
He got me to smile at that one.
At least I had someone like Harry on my side.
