ASHLEY.
"Where the fuck have you been all day?" Vincent questions the moment I walk through the door, and I shut the frame behind me, dragging the straps of my bag.
Vincent is sprawled on the couch, watching a basketball game it seems, and I shrug.
"The library. " Trying not to fuck your best friend. My stomach churns in excitement at the memories of what went down at Sinclair's house I swear to God; it took everything in me to not pull that man towards me, and have him fuck my brains out.
"Talk about being a nerd, " he mutters under his breath before turning back to the television, and I roll my eyes with the middle finger.
"Where's mom?" I question, my eyes moving across the room in search of my mother.
"You know. The usual. She's out. " Vincent says with a wave of his hand; not seeming to be paying much atten
Happy New Month, Sweethearts! Anyone feeling excited for December?
ASHLEY."Hi, Darren, " I greet the guy that sits behind the wheel with a smile, and he only responds from his seat; not bothering to turn around to check who it is.I know he knows who I am, but my point is that... The guy is so damn shy!"Evening, Ashley, " he responds in a voice that I barely heard, but caught it anyway, and decide not to say any further thing."Why are you beside me?" I cock my brows at Lucy who's perched beside me, and she glares at me in a way that says, 'Keep your damn voice low. 'Shifting closer to her, and leaning my head towards her, I say, "I'm pretty sure you were at front when you guys came, so why are you here now? Are you shy?" I tease her, and she rolls her eyes before shifting her gaze away from me; her arms crossed against her chest.A laugh rips through my throat as I lean against the glass; a soft s
ASHLEY. I lift my head, and turn in my stand to come into view with a furious looking Vincent, with Sinclair standing beside him. Murmurs erupt in the air at the sight of the town's ever so popular man, with his infamous best friend beside him. "What the fuck are you doing to my little sister?" And talk about being so fucking overprotective. I had this. I didn't need him to do this, but knowing Vincent; I know better than to try, and stop him. This is why I move to the side instead; my gaze going over to Sinclair who's a few feet away from us with his hands in his pant pockets, and his eyes on a certain boy. Sinclair knows about Dave, and that look he's giving him right now tells me he regrets the moment he decided to listen to me about letting him go. "No one was doing anything. She came to my house, and create
ASHLEY."We are here, " Sinclair announces from his seat, and I raise my head to stare at the view of my house ahead.Guilt eats me up from the inside, knowing that I should be here with Vincent, but I just had to be a fúcking bitch to him.I know he's just trying to protect him, but that overwhelms me most of the time, and now, I said something I shouldn't have."He will be fine, little Greene. You don't have to worry about him. "Sinclair says, turning in his seat to come into my view, and I nod with a sigh.I know he will be fine, but that doesn't make me less worried about him. Not does it make me feel any less guilty?"Come on, you should head inside. " He says, jerking his head towards the direction of my home, and I stare up at the building before moving my gaze back to him; my brain regis
ASHLEY.I walk down the hallway that leads to my mother's room.Opening the door slowly; a small smile crawls to my face at the sight of the woman sprawled over her bed, with her hair covering her face.She works too much trying to take care of me, and Vincent, and it saddens my heart that she overworks herself. Which is why I have to make her proud.Shutting the door silently to make sure it doesn't disturb her; I make my way back to my room, and drop on my bed, a soft sigh leaving my parted lips as I stare at the white ceiling.The events of the night flow through my mind, and have me clutching my pillow. So many disastrous things in one night.From that stupid Quinn, to fighting with Vincent, and then Sinclair.Sinclair.I don't even want to think about that.
ASHLEY.Sinclair has this that makes me want to jump me right here, and there. But thankfully, for the both of us; I'm able to control myself, look away, and walk up the stairs, and down to my room.Shutting the door behind me; I lean against the frame with my hand against my chest. The echoes of my heart pounding wildly against my chest so sound in my ears.That man is barely doing anything, and I'm like this.Shaking Sinclair's thoughts off my mind; I strip down my clothes, and stride to the bathroom to get ready for school. Where I have to see Quinn, and Dave. Again.My hatred for those two grows with each passing day, and even when I try to forget about them— they somehow find a way to make that NOT happen.Stepping under the shower; I shut my eyes as the cold water runs down my body, calming down my nerves, but d
ASHLEY.My eyes are widened as the cold metal of his lip ring melts against my mouth, and he wraps one hand around my waist; pulling my body closer to his.I shit my eyes, and allow myself to dwell on the fact that he is kissing me. Sinclair is fucking kissing me!Wrapping my arms around his neck; I forgot the fact that I'm in just a towel, or maybe I just don't care about that as his tongue thrusts against my mouth, asking for access, and I part my lips, giving him access with his tongue easily slipping into my mouth.He wraps his tongue around mine, bringing me into a battle I easily give into before it could start.Sinclair's hands move to my hips, and he hoists me up; backing me up against the wall with my legs wrapped around his waist; my towel holding dearly onto my body.He pushes forward again, and pulls my bottom lip bet
ASHLEY.I smooth my hands down the material of my skirt, as I stand before the full-length mirror; my reflection staring back at me.Letting out a deep breath, I grab my backpack, and head out of the room, shutting my door.Walking down the stairs, I can hear the distant echoes of Sinclair's, and Vincent's voices with their laughs, which makes me wonder what the hell they are talking about, for Vincent to be laughing that loud.Probably girls, and stuff. The thought has my heart clenching, but I don't allow myself to dwell too much into it as I finally take the last stair."I'm off to school, " I speak as I stride towards the refrigerator, and grab an apple, taking a bite, and turning back in my stand to come into view with a smiling Sinclair. God, don't look at me like that.Vincent is turned the other way, messing around
ASHLEY."Hey, are you okay?" I flinch at the sound of the voice, and turn around in my stand to come in view with s frowning Lucy, and I ignore the strange way Darren just behaved."Yes, of course. Are you done?" I smile at her as I hand her the phone, and she nods with a smile; grabbing the phone from me."Yes, we can go now. ""Right. Oh, by the way; Darren was here. " Her face literally lits at his name, and I shake my head with a chuckle; knowing she's already head over heels."Really? He was? And I missed that? Oh God! you should have tried to delay him, or something. " She frowns, and I roll my eyes. Well, I did try to get him to stay so he could tell you the news himself, but your prince charming was more than eager to leave."It's not my fault that he's got a class to get to. It's now like you're never going to see him ag
