Telling Ashley about what happened with mum really tired me out there was a lot of curse words and then a lot of crying from the both of us, we tend to have these pathetic moments of us crying with each other.
The guys dropped us both off at her place and after a beautiful meal that her mum cooked for us, we spent the rest of the evening cooped up in her bedroom. Ashley had a beautiful house and it was filled with her mother's amazing designs.
Our mums were seriously close and so were or fathers but since things fell apart with my family they have just drifted away.
"I wish you could live here Mia but the stupid government and their stupid rules," Ashley says leaning against the headboard. I'm currently changing into some night clothes before we settle in her bed and watch a bunch of movies.
"I know it's okay though I can stay with my uncle for the time being before I turn 18, hopefully after that, I can either find my own place or maybe I can patch things up with my mum" when I say this Ashley looks at me surprised.
"you're still willing to live with her after she did that to you" her eyes cast to the red mark still evident on my face.
I shift in my seat. "she's my mother and as much as I hate her this minute I do love her I would rather stay with her than be on my own" Ash immediately runs over to me wrapping her arms around my shoulders. I hug her back and bury my head in her blonde curls.
"Thank you, I really needed that," I say to her pulling away, creating some distance as I continue to wipe the makeup off my face.
We decided that we would watch transformers since its on of my favourite movies at the minute.
We were an hour into the movie when I got a notification on my phone. I quickly check it to find that Trey's friend request pops up again. I look over to Ashley and see her eyes are still fixed on the screen. When I turn my attention back to my phone I notice in the corner of my eyes that her lips curve up into a smile.
I click to his profile and see his picture, he stands on a top of a cliff with a man older than him. This man has trey in a head lock and although he may be in pain he has this massive grin on his face. The smile is contagious and I automatically start grinning.
"you have to admit Mia that by was graced with some good genes," Ashley says turning her attention to me. I quickly put the phone down. She notices my actions and crosses her arms across her chest. "c'mon you can't be possibly telling me that you don't find him attractive"
When she says this my mind refers to the picture I was just looking at. There was a glint in his eyes that made me want to be in that moment with him and I couldn't get it off my mind.
"Fine, yes he's attractive but ... I don't want to have this conversation anymore" I turn so I'm now facing the screen again. All I can hear is her laughter as she turns up the volume of the movie. Were on a slow part of the movie and the Autobots are driving down this big long road.
Don't you just love Bumble Bee
The next morning, we took our time getting ready because well were girls and we must be looking a little bit decent and that takes time.
Half an hour later we were ready. Well, I was ready 15 minutes ago but Ashley wanted to curl her hair which caused me to wait for her.
"hurry the f**k upp Ashley," I said walking down the stairs as she contemplates what shoes to wear.
"Mia" Ashley's mum gasps, only then do I realise that I swore in the company of her mum. My best friend, however, found it hilarious.
"stop trying to act strict mother you swore this morning because you dropped a brush in the toilet." This earns a light slap on Ashley's shoulder, the both erupt into laughter.
I don't follow them; my eyes were too busy fixating on the little action. I start to think back to what happened with my mum and a pain fills my chest. Ashley soon catches on and her face soon masks over. She tries to act normal so her mother wouldn't notice but she failed miserably. Her mum may be stupid at times but she isn't an i***t.
"girls, what's wrong, "she asks as she stops the car, were sitting at a red light and there seems to be quite a lot of roadworks on the road.
Just perfect
"it's nothing really Linda I just had an argument with my mum that's all," I say, there no point lying to her and trying to make u an excuse. She knows about my mum as I said before it doesn't take a genius.
"oh, sweetie why didn't you say, I can talk with her if you'd like" she offers to do, which is very nice of her, this is why I love Linda.
"NO," I say rather loudly and quickly, both seem surprised at my little outburst. "I mean there's no need for that I'm sure she'll come around" I don't know who I'm trying to convince here because I didn't even find that little bit convincing.
I can tell she was about to say something else but the lights turn green and she has no choice but to face the road and pull into the college.
"thank you for the ride Linda" I drop some money in the middle compartment and leave the car quite quickly. She used to hate when I gave her money for the petrol but since I do it every time she takes us she just endures it now.
Ashley stays in the car, obviously, she wants to discuss something with her mum so I just head inside, were in different parts of the school anyway. We probably won't see each other until the end of the day because Wednesdays are normally when she hangs out with the others since I normally am in the library finishing work.
As I was busy rushing to my room I spot Trey walking through the doors opposite, I quickly spin around hopefully he hasn't seen me yet so I can make a lucky exit but instead of successfully escaping I bump into someone which causes my books to fall and spread across the floor.
I curse in my head when I meet the eyes of Brad. when he sees it's me he quickly diverts his eyes and walks over my folder and storms through the doors.
"watch it" Brad mumbles before disappearing from my line of sight.
I crouch down and start to pick up my stuff.
Trey bends down as well and starts to help by picking up some of my heavy books. I smile slightly because I'm sure he could have just walked away but he stayed to help me.
"no thank you?" he questions as we both stand back up. Well if he just gave me a second.
He leans back against the wall and watches me place stuff in my bag.
"I take words or actions as a thankyou it's your choice entirely." He says and rubs his lips together, probably trying to refrain from smirking. I take a deep breath before walking up to him.
"do you normally get girls thanking you before you've done s**t all?" I didn't mean it as an insult maybe something to inflate that big ass ego he has. His eyes widen at my words and he was about to say something but we both turn to find Toby clearly finding something funny as he laughs hysterically whilst leaning over with his hands on his knees.
"brilliant, my mood has suddenly been lifted, love her already," he says taking the folder from my hands and shoves it into Trey's chest. I'm about to grab it back but Toby successfully stuns me to silence as he takes my girly bag and slings it around his shoulder before leading the way into the business department.
"but..." I stutter running after them both
