ASHLEY

"I don't want to talk, Noah. Get the hell out of my sight!" I snapped at the photographer in front of me, who watched me with dull eyes and still tried to speak to me.

"Ashley__"

"Oh fuck off," I growled and walked past him. I didn't know how someone could be such a pest. Like dude, get the fucking hint. I don't want to speak with you. I don't want to hang out with you. I don't want to go on a date with you. Just leave me the hell alone. I was tired and needed a break. I had so much on my plate and I didn't need him adding to it with his childish infatuation.

I got into my car and slammed the door shut. I ignited the engine and made to drive out of the parking lot when my phone sounded with a loud ding. I groaned and picked up my handbag, searching for my phone. I took it out and unlocked it.

And then, my blood ran cold at the text that popped up on my screen.
