"Still... loves me? Erin that's ridiculous! How could he still love me, when never even dated..." I looked up at her hoping she'd believe me. She looked at me and laughed.
"Ashley, everyone knows you dated Nate."
"No I didn't!"
"Ash, you suck at lying!" I looked down and my bed and brought my knees up to my chest. "Do... you want to talk about it?"
"No."
"Fine, let me know when you do." Erin walked out and closed the door. I put my face into my knees and started crying. Memories starting flooding back to me, memories I didn't want to remember. I laid back down in my bed and let my tears flow from my eyes. Soon enough, I had fallen asleep...
When I woke up, I grabbed my cell phone. One missed call. I opened it up and looked at the caller I.D. log. It was from Nate. I noticed that I had a text too so I checked it. It was also from Nate. I opened it and read it
"Hey Ash... it's Nate... just making sure you were feeling ok. Call me."
I rolled my eyes and closed my phone. I threw my head on my pillow and looked at the ceiling... I started listening to some music. I turned on my favorite song and started to softly sing the lyrics
"Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it..."
I heard my door open and I turned and saw Erin walk in.
"Ready to talk?" she asked me. I nodded and she came and sat down on the bed next to me. "Ok, so what happened with you and Nate."
"Well. It's a long story. But in 8th grade, near the end of the year, he told me that he liked me and that he wanted to go out. So I said yes and we decided to keep it a secret. We lasted through the summer, and like, we cared about each other a lot. Then high school started. I knew he'd do football, and he knew I'd do volleyball. Well, one day after our practices, we were walking home and he said that he was going to a party that night and asked if I wanted to come with him. I told him that I'd come if I felt like it and later that night I decided to go. Well when I got there, I asked someone where Nate was and they said upstairs in one of the rooms. So I walked up there and..." my words got caught in the back of my throat and I felt some tears coming. "He was... with Larissa... and they were..."
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" Erin hugged me and I started crying again...
"That's why I hate him so much... he was my everything, and I thought we were perfect... but things change... anyways, as soon as I opened the door my mouth dropped and he started making up a bunch of excuses and I slapped him and told him it was over and left... ever since, he's changed into this horrible person... he was never like the way he is now."
"Ash, I'm so sorry... I had no clue that's what happened..."
"So how'd you find out?"
"Oh, I saw you two together that summer you were together."
"The thing is... I... I think I might still have feelings for him. That's why I treat him the way I do... I'm avoiding them. Because I don't want to get hurt again." I looked over at my phone. "He called me earlier... but I don't know if I should call him back."
"Call him. Talk to him about it. Maybe there is an explanation for what he did."
"It doesn't matter anymore, it was 3 years ago. But... I think I'm going to call him..." I sighed. "Now."

I decided I hate this chapter. Ha. It's pretty much just a filler, telling you what happened. Btw, how many of you are kicking yourselves now that you know? Ha. Sorry this chapter sucked, I really don't like the turn out but I said I'd post today, so yeah. I'm still not sure where I'm going with this series really... well I kinda do. But not really. Anyways, the song that I quoted was, Forget by Demi Lovato. I love it :).
