For a few minutes I let Ashley take out all the tears. She cried on me, due to that and the rain on her, my shoulder was soaking wet. After she was calmed and sitting upright, I asked her "What's wrong?"

I had to wait another few minutes before she replied. "My mom." She whispered, "But it's to long of a story." I sat up straight and turned to face her completely.

"I've got time." I said. After a few hesitations Ashley finally began explaining.

"Yesterday my mom and I got into a lot of fights." She started off, "She was...mad because...well, because I cut. She said I was just seeking attention. She doesn't understand!" I ran my hand up and down her shoulder slowly to comfort. "And well, when my mom is stressed she drinks...a lot." Ashley admitted, "My mum was totally out of it. And when she invited her boyfriend 'Xavier' things just got worse. Xavier and I don't have a great past." Ashley paused before continuing. "The reason's my parents split up is because my mom was cheating on my dad with Xavier. Of course I knew, I tried telling my dad but he wouldn't believe me. My Dad's such a nice person and could never believe such a thing actually...well, until he saw it his self. My parent's divorced right away and I didn't see my dad after that."

My face felt hot. Ashley didn't even bother wipe the tears that were sky diving down.

"I wanted to live with my dad but my mum had other plans, she didn't let me even see him. Its been almost a year without him." I could barely understand what Ashley was saying because of her sobs. I admired her strength as she said more. "Anyways, so yesterday Xavier was over and he got really mad because im always making my mom stressed. I couldn't take that it was my fault now. I grabbed the first thing in my hand, a glass, and chuck it at him. Soon furniture was flying everywhere and there was a lot of yelling. I could get into more detail...but I rather not."

"Did anyone get hurt?" I asked. Ashley nodded but didn't explain who.

"So Xavier and my mom left. That's basically it, they left. I was used to them leaving every night and return n an hour...But they didn't this time." The whole time Ashley was looking down and fiddling with her palm, but as she said this she stared right at me. "The reason I couldn't come over was because I was expecting my mum to be back. It wasn't until an hour ago I realized...She isn't coming back."

The two of us sat in silence. The house felt cold and the atmosphere tense. "Um...don't you have an Aunt or someone who could take you in for care?" I suggested after an hour of no speaking.

"Well I have one...But her brother, who could also be labeled as my Uncle, he hates me. He's the guy I called the police on."

"Wait, are you saying your Aunt is Melly?" I asked. Ashley gave me a surprised expression.

"How do you know?" She questioned.

"Long story." I simply answered.

I just remembered something.

"But Ashley, you can go live with her now!" I exclaimed.

"But...how?" I explained to her part of what Melly had told me earlier. The look of Ashley's face showed tears of joy. She squeezed me into a tight hug.

"Thank you so so so much." She said under her breath, "For everything."

The next day after school, I sat on my bed sipping iced Tea when the phone rang. I didn't bother checking the caller ID and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello beautiful." Smirked a voice I couldn't recognize.

"Um hi...who is this?" I asked. The voice looked offended and gasped in shock.

"How could you forget about your own husband? Shame on you." My eyes expanded in glee. It was the flirtatious voice I haven't heard in a long time.

"Oh my god, Harry!" I emitted louder than I should have said it. "I've missed you!"

"Haha I've missed you to Jana." He laughed, "You alright?"

"Ya, you could say I am, how about you Curls?" I replied.

"I'm good too. Just overly excited for the finale." He said , though he seemed more nervous.

"Right! It's next week right?" I wondered.

"No, its on Sunday!" He corrected. "We're one of the three acts left."

I spat out my Iced Tea "Are you serious?"

"Haven't you been watching TV?" Harry inquired.

"Sorry! Not all episodes, Ive just been really busy." I told him. 'Busy' my excuse for everything.

Harry sighed in a jokingly way. "Poor Jana can't multitask being pretty and watching TV at the same time."

"Just shut up Styles!" I beamed, though we both knew I was enjoying it. I really was missing the boys.

"Hey tell you what, why don't you make up for it?" He asked, "How's about I send you some ticket's for the live show?"

"Are you for real!" I exclaimed, "Oh my god!" I was on my feet now.

"Ya! I'll mail you two tickets then, " He confirmed. "See you soon I hope!"

"Bye!" I hung up. I was overly excited, but why would I need two ticket's for?

On Saturday, just before I received the tickets in the mail I decided to ring Hannah and ask her if she wanted the other one. I bet she wanted to see Louis preform. After getting a message from Hannah's voice recorder indicating the phone was busy, I hung up. I jumped at the sound of the door bell buzzing. I opened the door and met the mail deliverer.

"To Jana Smith." He read on the envelope.

"That would be me." I smiled. After signing a paper and closing the door, I looked at the envelope grinning with gleam. I waited for Hannah to call back but instead got a call from Ashley to let me know she was coming over.

"Hey." I greeted.

"Hi!" She enthusiastically said. Her happiness joyed me.

"So, How'd it go with Melly?" I asked. Ashley bot her lip before unexpectedly hugging me again.

"Perfect!" she said as we pulled away. "I can't thank you enough!"

"But why thanks me?" I insisted.

"Because you are the only person who I can call my friend." Ashley said, which made me smile. "So, do you have any plans for this weekend?"

I looked at the envelope of tickets in my hand. "Well...ya." I said.

Ashley's smile faded. "Oh."

I thought for a second. "Hey Ashley, do you want to go to The X Factor on Sunday?" Her jaw dropped farther than it ever could. It was settled.

When Hannah called back later, I found out she already had tickets. Which was absolutely perfect, so the three was of us planned to meet up at an airport and go together.
