It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends...
Chpt.2
Author's Note: I think all the chapters are going to be from Aiden's POV but I might throw in some Ashley POV too but we'll see as it progresses. Enjoy. Thanks for the reviews.
That was almost a year ago. She's moved on, and I've pretended that I have. Madison, just someone to cure my loneliness. I've seen the girls Ashley's been with since we broke up, she told me about all of them all and of there problems and every detail about her relationships. I just try to be a friend like im supposed to be and give her my point of view of things. Usually her "relationships" with girls never lasted longer than a month. It was a Saturday night in the second semester of junior year. I've been dating Madison for the past 3 months. She's can be great but sometimes she can be so bossy, a huge turn off but she was a quick fix every time I let my mind wander back to me and Ashley. I was with her and Ashley at the Gray. Ashley couldn't stand Madison, Madison couldn't stand Ashley, so it was pretty rough hanging out with the both of them at the same time. "Why is your little lesbo friend here? I thought it was just gonna be you and me tonight." Madison said as she walked up to me and Ashley at the bar. "Why don't you just leave Madison? It obvious were having a deep conversation, something that he's been lacking from dating you." She said as he narrowed her eyes at her. "uh!" Madison scoffed. "Come'on baby lets dance, let little Ashley find a new little lesbo friend, that is if anyone wants her." She said with a smile. She pulled on my arm, I resisted for a second and Madison noticed. "Baby?" She said as I looked at Ashley who just shrugged her shoulders. I got up with Madison's tight grip on my hand that was leading me to the dance floor.
While we were dancing I kept my eyes on Ashley at the bar and frequently saw her silver flask sneakily leave her purse and tip over her cup of cranberry juice. She's been drinking a lot lately. Especially since she's been having a lot of relationship problems. It was a half an hour later and I was wiped out from dancing so much. "Hey Madison Im going to sit down I've had enough" I said loud enough for her to hear over the music. "Ugh fine." She said. we walked to a booth and sat down. I looked at the bar again but Ashley wasn't there. I scanned my eyes across the club and found her dancing with a girl with blonde hair. Madison was talking but I wasn't paying attention. "huh?" I said as I tore my eyes from Ashley. "What are you looking at?" She asked as she scooted closer to me and look in the direction I was looking at. "Uh so disgusting, I can't believe you dated her, she's such a slut, I wonder if this is the 50th girl she's hooked up with or the hundredth." She said with a disgusted look on her face. I hated when she talked about her like that. But I blew it off my shoulder, if I defended Ashley too much she would begin to wonder. "What ever just leave her alone." I told her. She scoffed. "Well what do you say we get out of here" She said as she put her hand on my upper thigh. I looked at her hand then back at her face where she was wearing a sly smile. "Alright let me tell Ashley..." I said as I got up and left her at the booth. I couldn't find her for a while then I finally spotted her with that blonde girl in a corner of the club they were getting pretty friendly and I couldn't help but feel turned on and depressed at the same time. I walked up to them and they abruptly stopped kissing. "Uh sorry, um im leaving do you have a ride home?" I asked since she got a ride with me to the Gray. "Um I don't -." She said but was interrupted by the blonde girl who still had Ashley pinned to the wall. "Um I think I got it covered." She said with a wink and it made Ashley giggle who was way past buzzed by then. "ok um Ill call you tomorrow." I said as just stared at the blonde. "Um ok bye." She said quickly obviously wanting me to leave.
Me and Madison left in my car and I drove towards her house. "Babe where are we going my parents are home, we can't be alone there" She said noticing that we weren't driving towards my house. "Sorry Madison, im just, not feeling well tonight, I need to get some sleep." I said as we pulled into her street. "Are you kidding me?" She asked as though she was the last person you would want to turn down for sex. "Sorry besides I have Basketball practice at 6 in the morning." I said lying. I just wanted to be alone."ugh whatever you know I don't know what has gotten into you lately but you better change your attitude or were over." She said as she hopped out of the car and slammed my door. I drove home and thought about me and Ashley, and how it used to be, but theirs nothing new about that.
Yea we still kiss but its just on the cheek, she pulls away so easily. We go to dinner but she wont hold my hand. We sit at the same table but we don't play with our feet. Yea we still go to dinner sometimes, but we don't sneak a kiss when the waitress turns around. We still watch movies, but she doesn't lay in my lap, like when the plot was slow, she would take a nap. Yea she'll even sleep over, but now well stay in our clothes, im only there so that she's not alone. I get home and about at that time im so depressed. My parents are fast asleep. I sneak into the cabinet where all the liquor was. When my parents weren't home Ashley would visit it more than my parents did. They never went in there, they didn't have a clue how much was gone. She drank more when we broke up. Almost every time she came over she would have at least a couple of shots of vodka, whiskey, gin, whatever that she chose to suppress her feelings of abandonment. But tonight, I needed a drink. So I poured myself some whiskey, Jack was going to be my only friend tonight because Im going to get real fucking drunk so I pass out and forget your face by the time I wake up...
