Craig stared at his cell phone, unable to make up his mind. Should
he do it? Or should he wait? Jimmy rolled his eyes and sighed. "Come on
man...just do it. You're not going to get anything done just staring at
it."
"I know...I know...Ash is going to hate me though. I don't want her to hate me but..."
"She'll get over it. Girls are so hypersensitive anyways. This is highschool and you need to live it out. If she's holding you down, don't let her."
Craig took a deep breath. "You're right..." He dialed her number and waited. The moment he heard her voice on the line, his heart ached. Craig hated to do this. "Uh..Ash hey...it's me..umm can I meet you somewhere? I need to talk to you....oh you are?...Do you think she'd mind hanging out with Jimmy at the mall for a few minutes while we talk?..." Jimmy looked at Craig with a confused face. "...Alright...see you there in a few..." Craig hung up.
"What's up?" Asked Jimmy.
"She's with Ellie, they were going to go to the mall together. Ashley said they could meet us there in about ten minutes. Would you be cool hanging with Ellie just for a few while I talk to Ash?" Craig looked at Jimmy hopefully and was relieved when he nodded.
"Yeah I guess so...I don't really know what we'll talk about but..." He shrugged "sure whatever."
"Thanks."

"Ready Ellie?" Ashley shouted through the bathroom door.
"Yeah, just a minute alright?" Ellie looked down at her arm, sighing. Why did this make her feel better? It was really...disgusting. She shook her head and ran her arm under warm water, watching the blood flow away, down the drain. Against her arm, the towel felt soft, almost too comforting. Ellie swung the door open after pulling her sleeve down and walked out meeting Ashley. "What's Craig want to talk to you about?" She inquired.
Ashley shrugged. "Who knows? We haven't really talked much lately. I think I know where it's going and really I'm fine with it." She looked over to her friend and smiled. "Besides...don't tell but I kind of miss Jimmy."
Ellie laughed and shook her head. "You're crazy Ash...you and all of your boyfriends." They walked out of the house towards the mall, Ellie secretly feeling a bit jealous. The closest thing to a boyfriend she'd ever had was Marco. That was a big lie though, the whole thing had been. Pushing the thoughts away from her mind, Ellie walked on in silence.
