*Nate's P.O.V*

I watched her walk away and buried my head into my hands. I slowly got up and walked home. I had lost her. Again. I put my hands in my pockets and walked back to my house. When I got home, I looked down the street and saw Ashley walking into her house. I sighed and walked into mine. Jason was in the living room and he looked up at me.

"Hey buddy how'd it go?"

"It didn't. She still hates me. She doesn't think I love her..."

"Well you did cheat on her-"

"Not helping Jason. I just... still love her so much. I wish she could see that."

"Want my advice on how to let your feelings out?"

"What?"

"Write it down. I do it all the time and it really helps."

"Like a song?"

"Kinda... or just your feelings."

"Yeah right, like I'm gonna write a song." I said to him.

"Whatever. But Nate, it really does help. But it's your choice. I'm going to bed. You should too, you've got school tomorrow." Jason patted my shoulders as he walked up the stairs. After standing there for a good minute I followed him and went up into my room. I sat on my bed and took out the pictures again. We had so many... all the good times me and Ash had together. I really did miss her. I looked at the notepad on my dresser and the pen by it. I didn't want to exactly write a song, but what other choice did I have? I grabbed the pad and the pen. I let my hand guide me as I wrote down the words on the paper. Before long, it was almost midnight. I put it down and went to sleep.

*Ashley's P.O.V*

I ran home, crying. Why I was crying, I didn't know. I really thought I was done crying over him, but apparently I was wrong. I got to my door and shoved the key into the slot. I turned the knob and ran up to my room. Once I opened the door I jumped on the bed and cried into my pillow. I saw my ipod sitting on my dresser and turned it to one of my playlists. It started playing and I softly sang along.

"Here I am once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see these tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes."

It was currently one of my favorite songs. It reminded me of Nate and how he broke my heart. It sounds like a weird reason to like the song, but I did. I kicked off my shoes and laid down on my bed. I soon fell asleep, not awaiting school the next day.

I missed my alarm the next morning and got up late. I was fantically running around my house, getting ready. I got out the door with 20 minutes to get to school... and I had to walk. Well in this instance, I ran. I got to school just before the first period bell rang, thankfully. The day went by as usual, except Nate wasn't talking to me at all. I'd occasionally see him looking at me during lunch or our last period class but hey, it's Nate, I was used to it. I went to volleyball practice after school and I must have still been mad at Nate because my spikes and serves were better than normal. I was exhausted after practice and I started walking home. "I really need a car..." I thought to myself. I heard a car coming up behind me and I turned around. Of couse the driver of this car, was Nate. I rolled my eyes and kept walking. He pulled along side me and rolled down his window.

"Need a ride?"

"No I can walk" I said to him without looking at the car.

"You look really tired. Just let me give you one ride."

"No Nate, I'm fine."

"Ashley, I'm not leaving until you get in the car."

I stopped walking and looked at him. He patted the passenger seat and I rolled my eyes... again.

"Fine..." I said while opening the door. Once I closed it he started driving towards my house.

"So... what are you doing tonight?"

"Nothing that involves you."

"Oh... well I-"

"Nate listen, I might have agreed for you to give me a ride to my house, but that doesn't mean I like you again. You broke my heart, and I can't just forget that." I said to him. He looked hurt when I said that but I just shook it off. We drove the rest of the way in silence and soon arrived at my house.

"Listen, if you change your mind-"

"Nick, give it up. We aren't going to date again. You changed Nate... and I'm done with you." I got out of the car and walked into my house.
