My Heart is Going to San Fran?

Ashley POV

Once I heard those words my heart sank. I'm shocked. She's moving? We kiss and she tells me she's moving?

"Ash? Hun…say something.." She looks at me pleadingly, with watery blue eyes.

I groan. "God, Alex, you better not be fucking with me here…"

Her face hardens and she moves out from behind me, standing up. "Ashley, why the fuck would I say it, if I didn't mean it? I'm not heartless and cruel." She says waving her arms around and pacing back and forth.

"No, Coop, you are." I can see it hit something. But come on, she just fucked with my head...she led me to kiss her, only to pull away. "When do you leave? Where are you going?"

She sighs, staring at her feet as she kicks sand. "Two weeks….San Francisco."

San Fran? San Fran? That's 6 hours away. Great. Just fucking great.

"Ash…Please don't be mad at me…" She pleads. " Only found out yesterday…my dad got a better job offer up there and I have to go…"

"Alex…I waited so long for us to have some sort of chance, and you decide to make it so much harder for me to say good-bye, by kissing me."

"Ash, if you don't remember, I wasn't the one who kissed you, you kissed me." She says in a harsh tone.

"Yeah, well, I didn't fucking ask you to bring up your shitty love life either." I growl out.

She cringes, I've never spoken to her like this before. She's never been the target to these words and they're hitting her hard. She starts breathing deeply, trying to remain calm. "Ash…please…"

"Please what? Be your little fuck toy, til you leave me like everyone else? Huh, Alex..Is that it? Because you're out of your mind if you think I'm gonna stick around and let you jerk my heart around until you disappear like everyone else…"

"Ash…it's not like that-"

"Whatever, I'm leaving. Happy first kiss to you. You got what you wanted from me." And I leave, I hear her sobbing behind me as I make my way back down the pathway.

It's been a week since that incident. And the only thing good Alex gave me out of that day is Spencer. Spence helped me out of my funk, she still doesn't know what exactly happened, just that Alex and I got into a fight and are no longer speaking to each other. Alex called Spencer up a couple days later and gave her the moving news.

I was sick to my stomach the first couple days, sobbing in my room. I was loosing my best friend, but that sadness turned to resentment, how could she leave me? She told me I could trust her, and she goes and leaves like everyone else.

She walks through the halls with her head down. Smiley, happy, clown Alex is gone, and replaced by a duller version, one looking like she's walking towards her death. She sits in the grass by herself during lunch, observing the people around her. She's in her own quiet world of solitude. I my heart wrenches every time I see her by herself with that blank look on her face, but she's leaving…I have to push her away before she hurts me even more.

"Ash? Ash?" Spencer calls me out of my daze.

"Uh, yeah?"

"Listen, I know I'm new and everything…but as your surrogate best friend…you need to talk to your best friend."

"That person…is not my best friend." I glance over at Alex's form sitting in the grass. "She never will be."

"Ash…" I interrupt her. "No, Spencer! Just…ah, she's fucking with my head and she's leaving."

"Ash…at least say goodbye…I mean two years is worth at least a goodbye."

"I'll think about it…" I look down at my food, suddenly not so hungry anymore.
