From Ashley's Point of View Right after Ashley walks away from Craig at the
end of Holiday.
I walked as quickly as I could away from Craig. I loved him, I needed him, how could he do this to me? I should have known better. Tears blurred my vision, my head spun and I felt like I would collapse. My heart was shattering. I couldn't see where I was going any more, and I bumped into somebody. Not Craig, any one but Craig, I thought.
"Ash, are you okay?" I heard Jimmy say. He put his arms on my elbows to steady me. "why did you slap Craig?"
"He was sleeping with Manny," I replied, trying to stop crying.
"Oh, Ash, I'm so sorry," he said, putting his arms around me.
"How could he do this to me? I thought he had a thing for Manny, but he could've at least broke up with me first."
"I know, it's cold. Anything I can do to help?" he asked.
"Can you take me home?" I asked. "I can hardly see through the tears."
"Yeah no problem, lets go," he put his hand on my shoulder and walked me home.
"Thanks, Jimmy," I said. "I really appreciate this."
"Do you want me to stay until your parents get home?"
"No, that's okay but thank you."
"I'll call you to see how you're doing in the morning okay?"
"Yeah thanks," I said, walking inside.
The next morning, I woke up feeling a little better. It didn't hurt anymore, it just made me mad. I wanted to scratch his eyes out.
I was getting dressed when Jimmy called, telling me to get ready because he had a surprise for me.
I waited patiently for Jimmy to get to my house, wondering what the heck he could have in store for me.
"Close your eyes," he said as we finished our walk.
I closed them, he guided me for about a minute, I actually laughed. When I opened my eyes, we were in the most AWESOME vintage store ever.
"Buy anything you want, my treat," he said.
"Jimmy, I cant."
"I want you to, please?"
"Okay," I laughed again.
"Do you want to go hang out at The Dot?" Jimmy asked.
"I'd love to," I told him. He was being really sweet to me, I couldn't thank him enough.
We went to The Dot and ordered two French Vanilla cappuccinos and sat down at a table.
"Are you having fun?" he asked me.
"Yeah, I'm having a great time. Thanks, Jimmy," I said, smiling at him. Don't fall for him Ash, this is just rebound. Don't do it.
"No problem. Anything for my number 1 girl."
"I still have that title after everything I've done to you?" I asked, half-joking.
"Of course," he said.
We both laughed.
I took a sip of the cappuccino and help the paper cup in my hands to warm them. I frowned as my eyes fell on the door. Craig had just walked in. Jimmy followed my eyes.
"Jimmy, I can't talk to him. What if he tries to talk to me?"
"If he does, I'll take care of it alright? Don't worry about it."
I looked down at the cup I was holding, then back up at Craig, who was headed my way.
"Jimmy.he's." My words were cut short as Craig came to the table.
"Ash, can we talk?" He said.
"Craig, I don't want to hear what you have to say," I said shortly.
"Ashley, please, don't do this. I love you."
"Yeah me and who else?" I muttered.
He put his hand on my arm, "Ash."
Jimmy jumped up, grabbed Craig's arm and spun him around to face him. "She doesn't want to talk, okay man? Just leave her alone."
"Fine, whatever." Craig jerked away and left.
"Jimmy..that was really sweet of you," I said.
"Don't mention it. Do you want to go home?"
"I think I should," I said.
"Okay, come on, I'll walk you there." He grabbed my hand and led me out the door.
"thank you so much, you've done so much for me."
"Its really not a problem. You're too good to be hurt like that, by anybody."
I sat on my bed with my notebook of songs in my hand. I wrote: You said you loved me, Yet you went to her arms. It didn't take long For me to catch on. Now your out of my life For good. And you're going to pay. I'll make sure you pay.
