Disclaimer: I don't own South of Nowhere. I just got the inspiration and time to write this storyline.
Chapter 1: Moonlight madness.
Ashley's point of view
I'm all alone, sitting on a bench in a park under the moonlight. Why am I all alone you may ask? Well, I was just dumped by let's say my 8th girlfriend that started out as a blind date. Oh well but who's counting other than my little tiny heart and me. Looking at her photo with me in my hands makes me more upset than I was before. Her name was Julie. Yeah it's a she. Don't be surprise now. I thought being gay is quite a norm nowadays. Back to Julie, she has quite a jovial personality and makes good cheese omelets for breakfast. But I guess sometimes even the homiest girl doesn't quite click with me. Initially the differing views were welcome as we had a lot of topics to talk about and banter. Well, it became such a communication problem after sigh… a month. She couldn't stand the fact that I don't agree with her choices. Yeah differing taste and preference. Sigh… when will I ever meet the one.
A few minutes after my inner turmoil, I hear a 'plop' sound beside me. Oh don't worry, its not some passerby or joggers taking a break beside me. It's none other than my annoying roommate trying to cheer me up. Though, I think she's already sick of this. As you can see with Julie being no. 8 then that makes this happening for the 8th time. I'll get sick of it if I were her. Oh btw her name is Jamie. I've known her since I started on my journey of building my career. We got close ever since she got evicted from her rented apartment and became homeless. Kind-hearted me just couldn't let her sleep in the streets fearing she'll be rape, invited her to stay at my loft. I have room for more than 4 persons but I'm living alone. I like it that way. But now, I would say I used to like it that way since I got use to annoying Jamie parading around my loft.
"Quit it, you know that you aren't affected by this break up than you think you do. Just cut the act already and then we can enjoy some yoghurt. My treat!" Jamie cuts my train of thought. Seriously doesn't she want me to introduce her to you guys properly like she deserve? Wait actually, there's no need for that, you'll get to know her along the way.
"You know, I really like this girl. I thought she was the one" I reasoned with her.
"Who are you trying to fool, missy! Yourself or me! This is like the 8th time already. And plus you said that about me before. And look where we are." She stood up and took my hand, "come on let's go. You'll find her. Good things come to those who waits."
"Stop quoting that song by David Archuleta. He's so old news. You should seriously get a new idol or something. Plus, he wasn't even the winner!"
"Well it was a good song." She rebuts. As you can see, she needs to win this battering between us all the time. Well I let her most of the time. And my bet now is that she's gonna sing that verse.
"Take me where I've never been, help me on my feet again. Show me that good things come to those who wait. Tell me I'm not on my own. Tell me I won't be alone. Tell me what I'm feelin' isn't some mistake. Cause if anyone can make me fall in love, you can." Yup I'm right. Here's a very predictable, Jamie.
"There she goes, there she goes again." Well you see, I sing too.
"Ash, seriously you gotta let me finish that singing that song to you someday. Who knows when you do, the right will just pop out of nowhere".
Suddenly we hear ruffling sounds from the bushes, it sounds like it's coming nearer and nearer. "Ash, do you hear that?" She came closer to me to hide behind me. She's quite a scaredy cat. The ruffling sound got louder and a squirrel jumps out from the bushes and took the nut and jumps back into the bushes.
"Well Ash, I hope your Ms. Right don't pop out of nowhere like that." We both laughed it out and walked to the yoghurt shop nearby.
Song choice : You can by David Archuleta and There She Goes by The La's
