Lolz. I'm horrible… UPDATE! :D

I got back to my apartment, and started looking around for Liz. Traffic had been a bitch. I glanced quickly at the clock: 4:15 PM. Liz still wasn't home. I made my way to the kitchen, dropping my book-bag and keys on the table. I had the munchies.

I opened the refrigerator and looked around. There was literally nothing good to eat. All there were, were Liz's nasty "healthy" organic something or the other, and some lettuce. What was I supposed to do with that?!

"Guess I'm not eating anything," I mumbled to myself.

Just then, my phone started ringing. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw the name "Liz" flashing across my screen. I answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey baby. So. I know I said I had something for you tonight, but I have to meet with my group for a bio project." She said, sounding regretful.

"It's okay. I'll see you later, okay?"

"Yeah. Love you."

"Bye." I hung up the phone, put it away and looked around my apartment. 'Great,' I thought to myself, 'What am I supposed to do now?'

Suddenly, I felt my phone vibrate. "What the fuck?" I said. I reached into my pocket and fished out my phone. It was a text message from Spencer: 'Liz bailed?'

I sighed loudly. Again. 'How do you always know these things?' I quickly typed and sent back.

'She and I are secretly best friends.' She responds.

'Great.'

'10 minutes?'

'K.'

I went over to the living room coffee table sat down on the couch, and took out the necessary equipment, and began rolling a blunt. I grinded the herb, replaced the tobacco of the cigar, and rolled it back up. My phone vibrated again: 'I'm here.'

I pulled a hoodie over my head, and put the blunt in my front pocket. I grabbed my keys from the kitchen table, and left the apartment. At the bottom of the stairs, Spencer waited for me. She smiled slowly and pulled me into a hug. I held her tightly, and sighed into her hair.

"You suck," I muttered as I pulled away.

I opened the door to the apartment building and we walked outside. Her car was parked in front of the complex. I opened the door for her and moved over to the passenger side after she was seated. She started the car, and pulled away from the curb. We drove in silence for the ride around the corner to a nearby park. We both got out of the car, and started walking towards the brush at the far end of the parking lot.

"So how did you know Liz bailed?" I asked Spencer as we walked through the forest-like terrain.

"I'm telling you, we're secretly best friends," She responded with a mischievous grin spreading across her face.

I shook my head, as we walked through the thickening trees. "I'm thinking of breaking up with her," I mentioned offhandedly.

Spencer stopped walking and looked at me, mouth wide. I walked a couple feet more before realizing she wasn't walking with me. I turned around and looked at her.

"What?" She asked unsure.

"I said-"

"-I know, I heard you." She took a minute to compose herself. "I just don't understand. Just the other day you were telling me how convenient she is for you, and this and that, and now all of a sudden you want to break up with her?" She said incredulously.

"Spencerrr," I whine, "You know how I feel. Don't act so surprised." Without another word, I turned and kept walking. After a moment of hesitation, she started walking again, matching my pace. The brush started to thin out, and we approached a clearing. I laid down in the middle of the meadow, and she followed suit. I reached into my front pocket, pulling out the blunt from earlier along with a lighter. I looked at her and smiled. She smiled back as I lit the blunt and took a couple of hits to get it started. I then passed it to her. She hit the blunt, and passed it back to me.

We laid there for a while, silently hitting and passing the blunt before she spoke.

"Ash?" she called out to me pensively.

"Hmm?" I responded, looking towards the sky and breathing in deeply. She knows I like to breathe when I'm high.

"Nevermind," She said, putting out the now finished blunt.

I rolled over towards her and positioned myself on top of her. Straddling her hips, I looked down at her face and smiled warmly.

"You're beautiful," I said before leaning down and capturing her lips with mine.

Sometime later I arrived back at my apartment. Liz was still not home, and it was then I decided to break the news to her. I walked into our room, and pulled out a bag. I began packing as much of my clothes as I could, and sighed heavily when I heard the front door open and close.

"Ashley?" She called out into the apartment.

"In here," I called back.

She walked into the bedroom and came to an abrupt stop when she saw the scene before her.

"What's this?" She asked nervously.

"I uh," I scratched my head anxiously and motioned for her to sit next to me. "You might want to take a seat for this?" I said unsure of myself.

She scoffed facetiously, and leaned against the doorframe. "I think I'll stand," She said bitterly.

"Right," I said awkwardly. "Well, I think we should see other people." I said, looking anywhere but at her.

"You mean you think I should see other people?" She asks sarcastically, "Because I'm about a thousand percent sure you've already been seeing other people" she air quotes.

I decided to remain silent, and let her get it all out. After all, this was a long time coming, and I guess I did deserve everything she was saying.

"You will never be happy Ashley. And do you know why? Because all you ever do is take take take, you never give – not to anybody! Not even Spencer! Do you really think she's going to put up with your bullshit for very long?!" Her voice broke on the last word, and it was only a matter of time before she started to cry.

I sighed heavily and ran my hand through my hair. I stood and picked up my bag, "See you around, Liz," I said with another sigh before I walked out of the door and out of her life.

As I stepped out onto the street, I pulled out my phone and dialed some numbers. On the third ring, I got an answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Ash. Can I come over?"

"Yeah, of course!" Came the rushed reply.

"Thanks. See you in a bit." I hung up the phone and walked over to my car. I unlocked the doors, got in, and started the car.
