Liam POV
I walked into my apartment that I share with my brother, he wasn’t home. I waited forever for him.
Finally I hear him open the door.
“What’s up bro?” He said to me.
“Where have you been all night?” I asked Him.
“Woah, sorry DAD, I had a date, what’s up with you?” He replied confused and kinda annoyed.
“We have a problem, dad told me that the guy he hired was Logan Miller to his company. And that’s who Ash is assisting.”
He had a confused look on his face, I think he was trying to figure out Logan Miller was.
“Wait, Ashlee’s exboyfriend, is she ok?” He said figuring it out.
“Yes and uh tbh I don’t think she is. I went over to her apartment after dad had told me, and I let myself in, and she was on her couch with him drinking wine.” I said.
“No way. Is she back with him? I hope not, she can do so much better.” He replied.
He doesn’t know this but I have always had a huge crush on her, she doesn’t know either. Because she always had this jerk of a boyfriend off and on since she got here. I was gonna finally tell her, this weekend when we hung out but now with him back, I don’t know what’s gonna happen.
“I honestly don’t know, she says they’re not.” I replied. She agreed to go out to dinner with us but then cancelled like 30 minutes after I left her apartment, I’m sure it’s either cause he convinced her or she’s upset.”
“Have you talked to her since then?” He asked.
“Nope, I texted her a few times but no reply.” I said.
I am nervous that she has besides to take him back. I thought this was finally my turn to have a chance with her. She always was flirty around us when her and dumba** weren’t together. The day we met her, I knew I like her and haven’t stop. I always been so proactive over her, and so has my brother. Anything time she needs us, we dropped everything and go to her. I’ll never forget the day we met her….
5 years ago…
We walked to school, laughing because we just had thrown a nerd freshmen in the dumpster. That’s when I saw her at her locker, she was beautiful as ever.
“Hey there, you must be new, I’m Liam and this my brother, Spencer.”
“Hi, yeah I just moved here like 4 days ago. I moved in with my grandmother.” She replied.
“Who’s your grandmother?” Spencer asked her.
“Ruth Johnson.” She replied.
“Miss. Johnson is your grandmother? We love her. “.I didn’t know she had such a beautiful granddaughter.” I replied
“Thanks. Can you guy actually help me find my math class with Mr. Clarkston.” She asked
“You’re in luck, that”s where I’m going to.” I said.
I walked with her to class, Spencer had a different class, opposite way. We talked while walking to class. She had told me what happen to her parents, killed in car accident, by a drunk driver. And how she been living with her moms friend-who she hated for the last month until her grandmother could come get her. I felt like I need to protect her so no more stuff happens to her. We went to class, and I could help to stare at her almost he whole time, she just was beautiful and sweet. This girl is making me feel soft, it’s weird.
The bell rang, and we got up and walked out.
“Hey, you wanna maybe hang out after school today or another day.” I asked her.
“Yeah sure. I really don’t know anyone around here, so that will be fun. I gotta go home first and call my boyfriend, I told him I would call him after I got outta school. She replied.
“ oh ok, I live right down the road, I can come over after your done.” I said.
“Yeah that’s will be fine,” she said.
we exchanged numbers and since the. We been the best of friends, same with Spencer and her.
When she told us about her boyfriend, we kinda liked him at first. But then we he starting fighting with her all time and kept breaking up with her, and calling her a b**** is when he couldnt stand him. She would forgive him within a week if not sooner. We were always there for her when she needed us when he would do it again. Part of me feels like he would dump her to get laid, then talk her into getting back with him. He was an as****.
“I texted her. Asked her if she would like hang out after she got outta work.” Spencer said to me.
“Yeah maybe we talk some sense into her,” I said.
She never replied to Spencer either. I am hoping she sleeping and not with that Logan.
Spencer said he was going bed, that’s he tired.
I laid in my bed wide awake, just thinking about Ashlee. Hoping she’s ok. It was passed midnight and I started feel like my eyes were getting heavy and I was falling asleep.
3am.
I woke up before a weird dream, but second I open my eyes, I couldn’t even remember what is was about. I looked at my phone to see what time it was, and I had two text messaged both from Ashlee.
Ashlee: hey I am sorry for earlier, I ain’t mad at you just so you know. I told Spencer we all can hang out tomorrow after I get outta work. Why don’t you pick me up at work. I won’t have my car.
Ashlee: your probably sleeping, just wanting to add, thanks for always looking out for me, your the best, Liam.
I smiled. But wonder why wouldn’t she have her car going to work. I decided to reply even tho she’s probably back to sleep.
Liam: I am always here for you, babes. You know that. I was worried when you had not texted me since you cancelled. You ok? Yes I will pick you up from work tomorrow!! But where’s your car?
I sat my phone down thinking she wouldn’t reply but she did.
Ashlee: This is why your my best friend, Liam. I’m fine, Logan and I just were catching up talking. I barley looked at my phone. Yay I can’t wait to see you, dork. My car is here, I’m just not taking it to work. Logan is giving me a ride in the morning. He stay over last night cause he was drinking and it got late. I’m gonna go back to bed, gotta be up early. Hugs, see you tomorrow.
When I read her text message, I began to be angry. That son of a b****. He better not of convinced her to get back with him. He doesn’t deserve her.
Liam: ok see you tomorrow I ucan’t wait.
After that message, I decided to get some more sleep. It was hard because I had a lot going through my head.
