I waited around for a few minutes for Drake I thought he was just not going to show up. I jumped into my car ready to race home and get ready for the concert. A car pulled up behind me and blocked me in, Drake jumped out and rushed to my window.
"Ash I'm sorry I'm late."
"Its okay you don't owe me an excuse."
"Well can we talk?"
"Sure but it has to be fast I have a concert to go to tonight."
"Oh… okay."
I opened the passenger door to let him in he sat down and put his arms around me for a hug. I was caught off guard I didn't know what to do his body so close to mine made me feel so good.
"So how's life?" I asked trying to break the awkward silence.
"Ash why did you stay?"
"I wanted to finish up the school year and I like it here. I had no where else to go."
"Ashlee I never wanted you to leave."
"It was something that had to happen sooner or later."
"Ash it didn't have to happen."
"No it didn't. You made it happen you broke my heart and now I think about you every second of the day. I double my school load and work my butt off all not to think about you."
"Ashlee I love you but I think this was a good idea were both getting along okay."
"Wow… you waste a year of my life I stand by you when you can't do anything for yourself and when you become a junkie I stood by your side then you drop me like I meant nothing to you."
"No… No… Ashlee I love you I thought that's what you wanted to hear. I want you to come back I want us to be together. I'm jealous that you seem to be better off with out me. Everyone's better off with out me."
"That's not true. Drake I still love you."
"Well lets start over lets forget this all ever happened."
"I can't right now. I need to prove it to myself that I can be on my own. Drake I love you and I want this to work out." I pulled out a necklace I had hiding under my uniform it was my engagement ring.
"Okay I'll give you some time. But can I ask you if you're seeing anyone?"
"Drake I would never ever cheat on you and in my book were still together but separated temporarily. How many girls have you been with since?" I said spitefully.
"Ash this is like the first time out of the house."
"Well keep it that way. Prove to yourself you can commit and just be with me. If I do this for you, for us just know this is your last chance. You mess up again and were done forever."
"How long do we have to stay apart?"
"Until my lease is up, it's only for three months."
"Ash I thought you were going to say like a week."
"Drake I'm not giving everything up for you again."
"You don't have to I'll give up everything for you. I'll be a normal boyfriend"
"No, I would never ask you to do that. I love who you are I just want you to drop the part where you feel like I wasn't enough. And I ask myself all the time what wasn't good enough. Did I not praise you enough, pay enough attention, sex?"
"No Ash it wasn't you it was me. I was stupid and dumb and it was only when I was drunk, but I stopped drinking."
I wanted to believe him I wanted to hug him and kiss him and tell him everything was going to be okay and that we would live happily ever after but I couldn't do that to myself it was worse enough Drake drug me throw the mud a ton of times but what was even worse was that I let him do it.
"Drake I have to go."
"Okay… Can I at least have a kiss before I go?" I smiled a little and nodded my head. It started out as a little closed mouth kiss on the lips but then I opened mine slowly, he did the same I put my tongue in his mouth it sent electricity through my body he put his hand on the back of my neck to intensify the kiss I pulled away slowly.
"I have to go."
Drake backed away slowly and opened the door. He was about to shut the door when he popped his head in once again.
"Can we see each other soon?"
"How about when you come back from the rest of the tour in 2 weeks? Stay clean, don't cheat and we'll be okay."
"Ashlee I love you."
"I love you too.
Drake shut the door and pulled out of the parking lot.
I raced home as quick as I could Josh was sitting on the front step.
"I'm so sorry…"
"Its okay just hurry up!"
I ran into my bedroom taking off my uniform and throwing on a black tube dress.
"good?" I asked Josh
"Cute… now let's go." He said pushing me out the door.
We didn't talk about Drake I knew it would upset me so I just turned up the music and bobbed my head to it.
