Chapter one.
Dear Diary,
This last break up with Chris must have had a more serious effect on me than I thought it did. For some reason since we broke up, I'm not finding myself attracted to any guys whatsoever. Anyway hopefully the sleepover at Jesse's house will help take my mind off things. Everybody is going to be there so I should be distracted all night, making new friends and catching up with the ones I haven't seen in a while. Well I'm off to get my stuff ready, as always I'll keep you posted on the next events,
Love Ash.
Ashley closed her diary and sighed. She then got up and packed her pyjamas and makeup for the morning in her bag and walked downstairs.
"Mom, Dad I'm going now. I'll see you tomorrow." She shouted into the living room on her was past the door.
Just as she reached the front door she heard her parents call back "Okay honey, have fun." She laughed and walked outside to her car.
Ten minutes later she was pulling up outside her best friend's, boyfriend's house and got out her car. Before she was even completely out of the car Brenda ran from the house and hugged Ashley.
"Er, Hi there Bren." Said a shocked Ashley.
"Sorry, its just been so long. I missed you so I was watching for you out of the window" apologised Brenda.
Both girls laughed until Ashley said "Let's go in. I'm getting a bit cold."
Brenda agreed that it was probably a good idea to g inside, then both girls walked into the house.
"Hey Ash. Come, I'll introduce you to the people that you don't know." Said a handsome blonde boy and Ashley followed him into the lounge. "This is Gabz, Zac, Jamie, Candice, Leigh-anne, Jake and Ryan. Guys this is Ashley."
"Thanks Jess, but please, just call me Ash." Then turning back to Jesse she said "is there somewhere I can put my stuff until later please Jess?"
"Oh yea, you know where the spare room is, you can just put you belongings in there." Was her reply.
So Ashley walked up the very high steps and placed her overnight back in the room first on the right. When she was in the room alone a solitary tear slowly fell down her left cheek. She couldn't help it, she just felt so lonely. About ten minutes later she heard a soft knock on the door, so she quickly wiped her eyes and said "come in".
The guy that had been introduced to her as Zac opened the door and said "Hi. Jesse was worried about you, so he asked me to come up and see how you were."
Ashley: "That was nice of both of you. I'm fine. I've just had a rough time lately is all. I'm just going to wash my face and sort myself out. I'll be back downstairs in a moment."
Zac: "Are you sure you wanna go downstairs? I'll stay up here and we can talk about anything until you feel better if you like…"
Ashley: "Yeah, I like the sound of that. At least then I can go down with a bit of a better attitude and not snap at anyone."
Zac: "Well, you can snap at me all you like. But only until we go downstairs…. I know how it feels to have anger you just need to get out…. My ex is downstairs, can't even stand being in the same street as her nevermind being at a sleepover in the same house as her all night."
Ashley: "Well, we can talk each others anger out then. And if you need to get away from her later just come and find me" This was followed by a smile from both.
About half an hour later Ashley went to wash her face and her and Zac walked downstairs laughing. And sitting in the lounge was a very jealous looking girl who scowled at the image coming down the steps. She had never wanted him to be happy again. That was why she had cheated on him. But wait…. She had just realised why that girl had looked familiar earlier… Ashley's boyfriend, or rather ex boyfriend, was the reason for the end of Leigh-Anne and Zac.
