burned bridges

new plans

    Andy walked into the living room to join Dustin, Matt and Ashley , as soon as she walks in they stopped whatever conversation they had been having. Ashley gave Andy a smile and elbowed Matt in the ribs and he and Dustin get settled on the couch flipping on a football game , Uggg Andy thinks , no thank you. Glancing over at Ashley she makes her way over to Dustin to let him know that they were on the way out to the nail salon . "hey" she said as she nudged his foot with hers, "hey" he replied back giving her a smile. " so you guys are going to be ok here right? " she wondered , "yea, we are going to watch a few games and when you guys get back we can watch the movies and get some food, if you are feeling up to it"  Dustin Took her hand and was playing with her fingers as he had been talking to her. " yea sounds good "  she replied . 

Ashely had walked over during Andy's conversation and had been making out with Matt the whole time , it was almost like they could not go 20 minutes without touching each other when they were in the same room. "alright Ash lets go , we definitely need some girl time" Andy grabbed her friends arm and started pulling her towards the door for the 2nd time that day. "where do you want to go for our nails?" Andy asked as they reached the elevator , she pushed the down button repeatedly . 

 Andy was once again stuck in her head , no matter how much she was starting to like Dustin she still could not get Taylor out of her head, she really wanted to talk to him , no matter how upset and frustrated she was with him she still had feelings for him. she was confused on what the heck she was supposed to do .It was something that she did not really want to think about the situation to much even just thinking about Taylor gave her the urge to check her phone to see if she had any messages from him or not .

    She pulled her phone out of her pocket and her heart instantly sped up at the site of a message on her w******p . opening the app with shaky hands she noticed that the message was from Taylor but was disappointed to see that he must have messaged her and then instantly blocked her again as soon as he had sent the message. All it said was "hope you have fun" just those 4 words made her feel super guilty and then she felt stupid for feeling guilty , he was the one who time and time again had told her that he did not have feelings for her, he was the one who said that they were not together and that he was just having fun even when she would cry, so why the heck did she feel so bad that he seemed upset with her for finally finding a guy who seemed to really like her and want to be with her and so far was doing everything she always wanted Taylor to do for her ? at that moment though all Andy wanted to do was go home to her own apartment and cry and try to get Taylor to talk to her. it was a feeling that she was all too familiar to one that nawed at her gut . but she knew that she had. to be strong it was not fair to her or fair to Dustin to be obsessed with a guy who really did not care enough about her to actually act like she was important to him until she had someone who was treating her like she was special. 

    Andy looked up to find Ashley giving her a look, her best friend knew exactly what was on her mind , she was never any good at hiding that kind of stuff from Ashley , it was almost as if they could read each others minds sometimes . " its no big deal Ash, I know he is a jerk and I know that Dustin is pretty much everything that he is not but I seriously can not help but feeling something for him, you know how my brain is you know that for some reason no matter how many times he has treated me like garbage i still have wanted him" Andy was about to cry thinking how pathetic she sounded . Ashely's eyes hardend at her friend "enough ,Andy , we are going to have a good day today, we are going to go get our nails done grab some ice cream and go back to your place to hangout with the boys and you are not going to feel bad about liking a guy who is actually treating you the way that Taylor should have been this whole time, he's just being like that because he just had someone take his favorite toy away" Ashley gave her best friend a hug and pushed the elevator button again , she knew that Andy had a ton of demons that she was fighting in her head everyday and she seriously hoped that Dustin was the guy that would finally make things better for her friend and not worse, the elevator finally arrived and the girls walked in both back in their own heads , the ride down to the first floor was quite as they were thinking , Andy had pulled her Iphone back out of her pocket and had started looking for salons that were taking walk in appointments . 

    As they rode the elevator Andy streatched her arms over her head and took a deep breath. then look back at her phone to continue looking for where they could get their nails done. there was a new place that had just opened a few blocks from her place she had been wanting to try out and looking at the website it did not look like they would require appointments and as a bonus it said they also had hair and makeup services as well as offered mimosas yum, that actually sounded super relaxing and really what she needed to get her mind off of everything . " hey Ash, this place looks like it would be cool to try, we have never been here before"  Andy said showing her the phone with the address and the description of services that they offered. Ashley rolled her neck and looked at the phone in Andy's phone. "mimosas? yumm, that sounds like the perfect place, I can't believe that we have never been there before" Ashley looked like she had stuff. that she wanted to talk about anyways . " for sure lets check it out ," she stuffed her phone back in her pocket as the elevator reached the first floor , as they walked out of the elevator two girls walked in the front door, Andy elbowed Ashley in the side and raised her eyebrows looking at the girls, she had never seen them before , it was interesting how they seemed to look at her and Ashley like they knew of them or thought that they did .
