A new start

Asher really was the perfect gentleman. His brother however apparently decided to come since I was coming (according to Asher) and spent the whole time glaring holes into my head. He wouldn’t even speak to me.

There may not be any feelings for Asher but I was content to hang out with him. And that is what we did. Asher met my kids but I told all of them that we were just friends. We enjoyed each other’s company. We went to ball games and dinners and car shows. It was fun, but I was always very sure to make sure he knew it wasn’t serious. I didn’t want him like that. His brother still haunted my body, my mind, and my soul.

Apparently Collier really had called the wedding off and broke up with Madison after that night at his party. BUT he was now dating someone 10 years younger that did not look like his type. Which who was I kidding. I wasn’t his type. Why was I even worried about it. It isn’t like he even gave me a second thought.

Collier’s POV

Really? My brother. He is not a good person and she deserves better. How am I going to tell her this without her thinking it is a jealousy thing? I mean it is too but more importantly I cannot watch him hurt her. Maybe it is different this time. I’ll keep a watch. In the mean time I cannot stand to be without her. I am trying to do what she asked and stay away so I found someone who looks almost identical, but it isn’t her. I can’t bring myself to even touch this girl which sucks because I really need release right now. This is just how it will be I guess this is my life. Watching the one I cannot have with my brother. What did I do to deserve this level of pain? Why can’t we be together now?

Ally’s POV

I feel like Asher’s getting too comfortable. I’ve noticed more and more that he thinks that he’s my boyfriend so I’m trying to put some distance between us. I don’t let him hang out right now. The last time we hung out he kept pushing for sex. I explained to him why I don’t want to hang out but he assures me that that we can be friends. I created this monster myself. I guess I need to clean it up but at the same time it’s really beginning to create a lot of stress. Kayden’s wife reached out and asked if I wanted to come to her birthday party this weekend and I guess since the kids are gone I’m gonna go ahead and go. It’s not like Asher hangs out with them anyway anyways so I should be able to avoid him. The only downside is that I really hope Collier is not going to be there this weekend. I mean it’s more of Amanda’s friends than anything so I think I should be safe, but I am going to just wish for the best. I feel like everything in my life has finally got a reset so it’s time to keep pushing forward and I enjoy hanging out with Amanda so there’s no reason we can’t be friends. What could possibly go wrong handing out with the same circle that Collier hangs out in. Thought like a true idiot for sure.
