Ash"
"Ash" Someone said tapping me.
"Ash."
"What!!!!!!" I said trying to shake the person off.
"ASHLEY KARA COLTON WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!" Trish shouted jumping on my bed.
"I'm up, I'm up, I'm up." I said sitting up and the massive hang over I had made me plop down on my bed back.
"What are you doing here this early?" I asked her groaning.
"Early? Bitch this is two in the afternoon."
"Two?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah so get the fuck up."
"Please stop shouting." I said putting my hands on my head.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like hundreds of elephant are doing them morning exercise on my head. What about you?"
"I was like that this morning but it has reduced."
"Wait. How did you get in?" I asked confused.
"Spare key. Under mat."
"Oh. How did you know there was a key there?" I asked again but she just shrugged
"Thanks for ditching me last night by the way."
What?
"What?"
"You tots left me last night. Thanks a lot."
What?
"What?" I repeated again.
"Don't you know how you got home last night?"
"No I don't"
"Well....." She smirked "A guy from the party had it with you and then he took-"
"Trisha get the fuck out of my room. I need to shower." I said throwing a pillow at her. I was still wearing the clothes from last night and I felt dirty.
"Bitch." She muttered and walked out of my room.
"Love you too!!." I shouted after her.
I sighed and got up to shower. The water helped a little. I decided to wear a very loose black shirt that stopped right above my knees, packed my hair in a ponytail, wore blue shorts and a black and orange pattern socks and I went downstairs to meet Trish.
"Hey Trish I heard-" I said entering the kitchen but was cut short by the sight in front of me.
"What are you doing here Christian?"
"Good day to you too panda." He greeted me with a smile. He was sitting down on the counter with a red apple in his mouth and as he munched his apple, I suddenly wished I was the apple.
"You do know a picture last longer right?" He said and I quickly took my gaze away and walked to the fridge to get a bottle of water.
"I like your outfit." He said as I turned back to him to see he was close. Really close.
"Um... T-t-thanks?" I croaked and he chuckled and moved back.
"How are you feeling."
Wet.
"Tired " I said and he was nodding his head hopping on the counter again.
"What are you doing here?" I asked again
"Well," He took another apple and took a bite. "Trish needed a ride so I brought her here."
"But she can drive and she has a car." I said in a matter of fact tone.
"She has a hangover."
"I thought she said it had gone."
"But she still has alcohol in her system."
"You need aspirin right?" He asked hopping down the counter again and walking towards the cupboards.
"Yeah?" I said tilting my head to study him as he searched the cupboards. He was dressed in grey sweats and black sketchers, his hair was rough.
"Found it!" He said holding the bottle of aspirin and set it down on the counter and reached another cupboard for a glass.
"Hey do you know how you got home last night?" Christian started
"Nope" I said still studying him.
"Really?" He sounded surprised.
"Yeah"
"Well you called me." He said filling the glass with water.
"What?"
"Yeah. Then I picked you up and then you sang in my car making me to almost go deaf." He handed me the aspirin and water.
"Nooooo"
"Yeah." He said with a smile.
"Oh god. Please tell me I didn't do or say anything stupid."
"Well..... We talked a lot." He said as I plopped to tablets of aspirin in my mouth and I drank water.
"You are kidding."
"Nope." He said popping the 'p'
"Well, all what I said and did was a lie." I said and he looked at me in as if in thoughts and nodded.
"Where's Trish?"
"She should be in-"
"You hoes talking about me behind my back?" She came into the kitchen grabbing the aspirin and the remaining water and popping it in her mouth.
"Did you just call me a hoe?" Christian asked pointing at himself.
"Sorry, forgot you were a pussy." She said apologically and I burst into laughter.
"WHAT!!!!!" Christian shouted.
"Yeah." Trish nodded.
"Why you little-" He lounged for her but she saw it coming and ran the other way.
"Come here."
"Nope "
"You....guys...are.....so...funny" I said in between laughter.
"Glad we could amuse you." He said glaring at Trish but was smiling and Trish stuck out her tongue to him.
"So what are you guys doing here?" I asked when I stopped laughing and the smile on Christian's face dropped.
"Em....." Trish spoke and she and Christian shared a look.
"What's going on?" I asked starting to panic
"Panda no need to panic, we just want to talk. " Christian said when he saw the panic on my face.
"Yeah." Trish muttered
"About?"
"Your problems." Trish said.
"My problems?" I asked shocked.
"Look we just want to help." Trish said coming forward and I took a step back holding my hand up for her to stop.
"I don't need help." I gritted glaring at Christian. "And I told you that."
"I know but we could help if you just give us a chance." He spoke up.
"And how will you do that huh?" I asked skeptically.
"Maybe you could go to-"
"Therapy? Tried that. What else?" I asked but continued before Trish could talk.
"Look Trish, I tried and it's a waste of money and time."
"Then we could try other means!" Her voice rising in frustration.
"Like what huh?" My voice also rising.
"I don't know but anyhow we just want to help."
"Look! I'm perfectly fine and I don't need any fucking help!" I said and turned back to walk away.
"YOU ARE NOT FINE!!" Trish snapped and I turned around shocked. Again. "You are not fine Ashley. It pains me. you don't know how much it pains me seeing my best friend coming to school like a train run her over because of a nightmare I could do nothing about. It really pains me because I can do nothing." She said the last part more softly and tears streamed down her face.
My heart ached for her. I didn't know my best friend was feeling like this all this while.
"Oh Trish. I didn't know you felt like this." I said pulling her for a hug.
"I didn't want you to see me like this. I wanted to be strong for you." She said sniffing and she pulled away.
"I'm sorry for being inconsiderate."
"No you weren't. You are just going through a tough time and I totally understand but what I don't understand is why you won't let me help you."
"It's difficult you know. It was hard enough telling you and I've kept it in for almost 3 years so-"
"Oh my god." She said interrupting me.
"What?"
"You've been in pain for three years?" She asked and she started crying again.
"Yeah but-"
"Please let me help you Ash. Please." She said her voice pleading and her eyes were also pleading and it was really hard to say no.
"I'll try okay?"
"Really?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks Ash. Oh my god thank you so much." She said hugging me.
"I didn't say yes. I just said I'll try okay?"
"Whatever still the same." She said pulling away.
Meanwhile, Christian was by the corner silently watching us and I turned to look at him.
"You!" I said pointing at him.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"You know I couldn't say no to Trish so you brought her here."
"Well I knew she is a weak point and I couldn't get you to say yes to me." If only he knew he also was a weak point. It was really hard for me to say no the first time.
"Yeah and it was really a good idea seeing she said yes." Trish spoke up.
"I said I would try." I reminded her.
"Yeah whatever." She said smiling.
Hey peeps! I feel we have reached the stage where we can tell each other things and also share some info.
Well, who or what's your weak point? Like what's that thing that can make you change your mind in a serious kind of situation???
