RememberMe.
**Chapter 18**
Ashley approaches. She had been crying. “Get your sl/tty
hands off my boyfriend!” She yells at Kimmy. Henry looks
scared. “What are you going to do about it?” Kimmy
comments while inhaling her cigarette. “Henry why are you
smoking? That’s disgusting.” Ashley ignores
Kimmy’s question. Kimmy walks right in front of Ashley and
blows her cigarette smoke in her face. Ashley’s face
scrunches up while holding back tears. And to make it worse
Kimmy, then walked over to Henry and started to make out with him
right in front of Ashley. That’s when Ashley broke. She
began to cry hysterically in front of all of us. Kimmy started
laughing. Evan ignored it and Henry didn’t do anything
except look a bit guilty. I gave Evan a peck and grabbed
Ashley’s arm. I threw her into the passenger side of her
car and I got in the drivers and drove. I drove to my house and
parked in the driveway. “Ashley… stop crying”
I pleaded while handing her tissues. She just stared at me
blankly. “Why are you being so nice to me? I’ve been
such a b/tch to you since I found out you smoked?” She
gasps.
“Deep down we are still emotionally best friends..” I
say in an almost whisper. She continues to blow her nose and wipe
her eyes. “Ashley, I have to come clean.” I say
feeling guilty. “It’s my fault.”
“What?”
“That Henry cheated… its my fault”
“Huh?” She sniffles.
“I texted you asking if we would ever be friends again
because I set Jenni and Henry up to hook up. You said no so I was
mad and set them up out of anger towards you. After Jenni and
Henry pecked lips once, I asked Jenni not to. And she was more
than glad because she knew I wouldn’t want her to because I
wouldn’t want to hurt you like that. Then Henry got mad and
called up Kimmy. I created his urge to cheat. Then I called you.
Because, well. I know personally what it’s like to be
cheated on… more than once and it has destroyed me,
Ashley. I used to be this perfect good girl with perfect grades
and a perfect life. Then, Evan cheated on me and I was wrecked.
Then when I moved to New York, I figured all relationships were
like that. So I didn’t trust anyone enough to be exclusive
so I just would be friends with benefits or do random hookups.
Then I fell into the wrong crowd of smoking, alcohol, drugs, s/x,
and more. I mean I love Jenni, she is my other best friend. But,
I changed. And I understand that you don’t like the me
I’ve become Ashley because well frankly, I wouldn’t
like me either. But, this is who I am now and I cant go back
because I can never be that perfect girl again. I pretended to be
in the beginning, but once Evan cheated on me for the second
round, she came back out. There’s no going back.”
Ashley looks at me stunned. I felt a tear roll down my cheek but
I quickly wiped it off with my hand. She leans over and hugs me.
“I’m sorry, Sadie.. You never told me the entire
story” She cries. “I miss being best
friends…” I blurt without thinking. “Me
too.” She agrees. We both smile and start to laugh for no
reason. We should not be laughing right now. “Want to sleep
over?” I ask. “My room is kind of small now that two
girls share it though” I add. She nods her head. We get out
of the car. “What’s up with all those piercings
anyways?” She jokes. “Oh you know, each one
represents rebelling against something” I laugh. We both
giggle as we enter the house. It felt good to have both my best
friends with me. Happily.
