Hey Journal, it's me again, Ashley. Well I have some quite interesting stuff to tell you about…and maybe some emo things too. Well today my father has been driving me nuts. Allie hasn't been helping my mood either. He picked me up tonight and took me out to this nice restaurant. It was amazing…he's amazing. But then he started questioning me if I'm ever planning on visiting my mom again back in Canada. It's like, why do you care? I can if I want to. Not that I really plan to…I mean I left Craig…I broke his heart. I'm pretty sure El is upset with me also, since I heard she became best friends with Craig over the summer. Ha, I even heard rumors that Ellie has a crush on Craig. Can you believe that? Ellie liking my ex… she wouldn't go for him. Well…at least I think she wouldn't. I really miss him though…I shouldn't be. I can't miss him, he probably wants nothing to do with me. Besides, I heard that him and Manny are hooking up again. Surprise surprise huh? She's just his rebound…poor dumb slut thinks he actually cares about her. Wow listen to me…I'm definitely sounding like some jealous ex.

All of a sudden Ashley's cell phone started ringing. She jumped from the startling sound and dropped her pen. She flipped open her cell phone and answered it. "Hello?" She asked into her phone.

"Hey Ash!" said a voice over the other line.

"Ellie!" Ashley squealed as she jumped onto her bed and laid back beaming a smile.

"Ashley!" Ellie said back giggling.

"How are you!" Ashley asked

"Eh, could be better. Man Ash do I really wish you were back here. I miss you so much, and right now I just need my best friend." Ellie said with a sigh.

Ashley sat there fiddling with her bracelet. "I know El, I'm sorry. I'm thinking of coming back for a visit sometime soon though."

"Are you serious!" Ellie shrieked.

"Yup. Now I just gotta talk to my dad about it." Ashley said with a laugh.

Ellie laughed. "Yeah, good luck with that one. I just really hope he lets you come back and visit."

"Well I'm sure he will…I've been here for months now…and yeah I want to see everyone again." Ashley said.

"Yeah…" Ellie said.

"…What's wrong?" Ashley asked.

"Well…when I told Craig that you weren't coming back and that you met someone, he got pissed off and everyone pretty much thinks of you as an evil person now." Ellie said quietly.

Ashley stared at her wall. She didn't know what to say.

"Sorry Ash… But maybe if you come back for a visit, you can let everyone know how sorry you are about what you done." Ellie said in a brighter tone.

"What? Well excuse me for following my dream and going to London." Ashley said getting defensive.

"Ash, no. I mean how you broke it to Craig that you found someone else. …That was pretty low you know." Ellie said quietly.

"I know, I know. I just didn't know how to tell him I met someone else." Ashley paused. "I didn't want to…"

Ellie cleared her throat. "Well it's over and done with right?"

"Yeah, right." Ashley said softly as her eyes started to tear up. She looked up at the ceiling to try to keep them from falling down her face.

"Well El, I gotta get going. I'll get back with you about when I'm coming back to visit." Ashley said quickly.

"Ash, don't be mad." Ellie said.

"I'm not…I just gotta get ready for bed, that's all." Ashley lied.

"Ok, well call me then as soon as you ask your dad and what he says." Ellie said.

"'Kay, will do." Ashley said. "Nite Ellie."

"Nite Ash. Bye." Ellie said.

Ashley hung up her phone and laid back in her bed. She covered her face in her hands as tears streamed through.
