House Of Broken Love chp.6
I walked up the two steps and knocked on the door. I looked behind me and saw Jeff driving by slowly.
"Oh Ashley sweetie."
I turned around and saw Trish's mom. Loves me like her own. I'd rather be her own. "Hi mom!" She insist I call her mom. "Trish here?"
"Yes she is" I turned around and saw Jeff parked across the street. "She is upstairs in her room." She said as we walked to the stairs. She ran her hand threw my hair. She smiled at me and then walked to the kitchen.
I walked up the stairs slowly. I wish the word or feeling of confused did not exist. I knocked on Trish's door and walked in as she looked up at me and smiled. Her smile has showed me she was there and always made me feel like the world is safe. I honestly don't know what I would do without her. "Hey Ish!" I greeted normally. Like I did when we were little. Back then it was said with happiness, now it's just said with...nothing.
"Hey!" She got up and hugged me. She pulled back and looked at me. "Woman! What are you doing to yourself?" She sat down on her bed as I followed.
"Trish." I paused as I was thinking. "I'm just so confused."
"Ashley" She sighed. "Do you really wanna be with him?"
I looked at her. She knew and that is what I love about her. She is after all, my best friend. "I dunno Ish. All the beat downs and shit. I mean I was okay with how my life was with just being Randy and Amy's sister. But putting Jeff's girl in with it just brought the spotlight on me. He only has people hasslin' him and I have people beating me." I looked at her. "And I still continuing being with him."
"Have you thought to why?"
I frowned as I realized. "No"
"Ash, I may not agree with you and Jeff being an item, but I am your best friend. I will support you, but you just have to get your head straight. You never have listened to what your bro and sis have ever had to say about who you date. But do you want to go through all this to just have it end close down the road."
"But what if we get through this Trish! What if everybody we're to just disappear and it's just me and Jeff. Trish, when we actually have the time to be with each others it's like there is nobody else in the world. We laugh, we make-out...sometimes more. We are just happy with each others company. We talk about the future, the past, the present. I feel so happy when we just erase everything that keeps us apart. Then it gets crashed when one of us has to jump out that window."
"What are you saying? You going to runaway?" She looked at me with demand.
"Tell me Trish. Why don't you agree with me and Jeff?"
"Well, for starts he is Matt's brother and they are friends with Darren and Joe." She looked at me with disbelieve. "May I remind you of what they did to Amy. What they did to you. They start a lot of shit that Randy and them settle."
"EXACTLY!" I positioned closer her. "Not once did you say me or Jeff."
"I did. I said he is Matt's brother."
"Ya. Matt's brother. Just like how I am Amy and Randy's sister. Trish, we are only associated with them. Hardly do we participate with them in the usual shit. Me anyways. But only reason everybody is against the idea of us is because he is Matt's brother and I am Randy and Amy's sister. Feuds that we don't participate in. Matt doesn't like it when Jeff is on some of the shit they do. Gang ups, partying, challenges and all that. Randy and Amy wish I would do it so we can "bond" more." She did the bunny ears as she sarcastically rolled her eyes.
"See, there is a difference there. How do you know if Jeff wasn't in on what happened to Amy! Or what happened to you!" Trish said getting worked up.
"You are just like THEM! Nobody wants to give this a chance. Not even me. Well at first I didn't. Trish, I'm tired of everybody else's bullshit!" I got up and looked down at her. "Even yours." And I walked out. I felt so wild up and still a little confused. But after that argument my mind seemed a bit clear. Just some pointers have been cleared. Never mind, I am still confused. Why everybody is pulling us in the middle now I will never know. Maybe if I act in with Randy and them it will clear. Sounds like and idea.
"Babe." I looked behind me and saw Jeff stand by his car with his door opened. I sighed as I looked at him. My heart just tickled and I felt like crying.
I looked at Trish's house and back at Jeff. I hesitate in taking a step towards him. After my heart grew in that tickling "just do it" feeling, I walked towards him. He grabbed my arm lightly when I was in reach. I stopped and looked at him uncertained. He smiled and pulled me towards him. He wrapped his arms around me. I rested my head against his chest. After awhile I felt him pull away a bit. I looked up at him and his lips met mine. We had a long passionate kiss. He let his grip on me loosen. "Lets go."
