Chris - 3:00pm, October 30th

I hear Ash yelling at Sam in the other room as I shift my position on the couch, watching a weird cartoon. My phone buzzes, signaling that I received a text, so I pick it up and read it. It's from Josh, what does he want?

Josh: yo bro, u at ash's place?

Chris: Obviously

Josh: is she hot? u bone her yet?

I blush brightly, putting my hand on my face as Ashley finally comes out, dressed in maybe the hottest thing I've seen her wear: a skin tight, full body black suit with a zipper down the front. As she sits down, I whistle at her, receiving a glare and a shove from her.

"So what are we watching?" She asks, giving me a soft smile. God, she's gorgeous.

"Oh, um. I'm not really sure. Some weird cartoon with alien space rocks or something."

"Huh, sounds weird." She settles down into the couch, putting her feet up on the coffee table.

I scooch over to her, putting my arm around her shoulders, feeling her lean into me. My eyes close and a small smile forms on my face as she rests her head on my chest. Hopefully, she doesn't feel my heart beating a million times a minute as she places her hand down on my chest, next to her face. I look down and see her eyes close as she starts to drift off again. I lean back into the couch a bit more and slowly drift off myself.

- 6:00pm, October 30th

"Hey, Chris, get up. Everyone's here." I hear the familiar voice of Ashley, causing me to smile as I open my eyes. I feel her hand on my arm as she leans over to wake me up, smiling shyly.

"Hey Ash." I say groggily, brushing a few strands of hair behind her ear.

"Get a room, lovebirds!" I pull my hand away quickly when I hear the voice of Josh from a few feet away. I look over at the group in the kitchen, seeing Mike and Jess getting a little too touchy while Emily watches, obviously jealous while Matt tries to get her attention. I look to the couch next to the one I'm on and see Sam and Josh talking to… Who the hell is that? And why is his arm around Ash? Why is he making her laugh?

"Hey guys, what'd I miss?" I ask, sitting across from them, on the edge of the coffee table.

"Well, this is Josh's friend. Chad." Ash says, gesturing to the handsome jock sitting next to her.

"Nice to meet you man. Chris, right?" The douche says, holding out his hand that's not preoccupied by touching a cute girl.

"Yeah. Hey, Cher?"

"It's actually Chad."

"Right." I get up from the coffee table, brushing off my clothes. "Hey, Josh? Can I talk to you?"

"You got it, bro." He walks over to the corner of the room with me as Sam and Ash continue to talk to the asshole. "What's up?" He asked, causing me to roll my eyes.

"You serious? Who the hell is that?"

"Chad."

I take my glasses off and rub my eyes. "I know that. What is he doing to her?"

"Hitting on her, obviously. That's why I brought him. I know Ashley is pretty lonely."

"You know I like her, why would you do this?" I ask, putting my glasses back on and glaring at him.

"It's not like you're doing anything. He's got a few notches in his belt. He'll treat. Her. Right." He says, pelvic thrusting with the words.

"I swear to God, I'm going to punch you in the face." I look back over at them, seeing Ashley laugh at a joke Chad told. "He just better keep his hands where I can see them, or else you're gonna get it, Josh. You hear me?"

"Ohhh nooo I'm so scared." He laughed, patting me on the back as he passes by me, going to the kitchen to get some beer. I sit back down on the couch next to Sam, who smiles at me.

"Hey, sorry about Ash. I can try to find someone for you, if you want." She says to me quietly, turning to me.

"No, it's okay. I'll be fine. I just want to chill and watch a movie or something. You know?"

"No problem, let's put in Friday the 13th."

"Got no issue with that."

- 8:00pm, October 30th

As the movie ends, I watch Ash and Chad whisper to each other before getting up and going into her room. I stand up and look at Sam, who looks at me sympathetically.

"I'm gonna go, okay? Sorry, I'm just kinda tired."

"Yeah, no problem. See you tomorrow?"

"We'll see." As I pass by Ashley's room on the way out, I hear giggling and feel my heart rip in two.
