gan's POV
I couldn't see the ground because my eyes are covered with tears, and I never felt so hurt before, as if my heart is pulled out from my chest. The excruciating pain in my chest is making cry harder. I never thought that Ashton would do sothing like this to . I know I was so doubtful, at first, why he ca to and introduced himself to when from the beginning he doesn't notice at all. And it was the first ti that Ashton looked at that way ever since we were classmates. And right now, I knew the reason why he wanted to be his girlfriend.
I don't care if I am wet as long as I will never go back in there. Lauren made the laughingstock of her entire friends, and Ashton is not an exception. He humiliated and made fun of . Ashton played with my innocent heart, and I can never forgive him for hurting this way. And it dawned on why my brother doesn't want to associate with Ashton because he knew from the very start that he was the reason why Ashton ca to , and I hate my brother right now for not telling the truth before sothing like this can happen to .
I ran away from Lauren's mansion, and I hate that their main entrance is so far from the gate. I felt so mortified that the rich kids only made fun of . They didn't consider I have feelings too. And I promise myself I will never look at them because they don't deserve my ti. I know I am ridiculous since they never get interested in , only this ti because I beca Ashton's toy. It feels so good that no one ca after , and I continued running into the street; I don't know where I am going, but all I want to do is go as far away from Lauren's house as possible.
After a while, I heard a sound of an approaching vehicle. I was hoping it wasn't Ashton because I can't face him right now after what he had done to . I don't know how am I going to et him ever again because I know even if I was hurt, I know he is still in my heart, and I don't know how I am going to forget him after I taste his sweet lips, and I hate to think that everything we did together felt so real.
"gan, would you please stop running and get in." I heard Zachary's voice, and he was pleading at , and I could tell he is different from them. My instinct is telling that among all the rich kids, he was the only one I can trust. I stopped in my tracks, and I turned my head to look at him, and I couldn't stop myself from crying when I can see the concern on his face and when I saw my best friend sitting beside him in the front seat.
"Please, gan, don't make this harder for us," Alice said while I can see that she looked so worried about .
I walked closer to them, and I opened the door of the backseat, and I get inside his car without saying anything; and Zach drives his car, and no one dares to talk to , and I can tell they are both afraid If I will break down. I put my tears at bay, and I told myself never to cry in front of anyone ever again.
"Where are you taking , Zach?" I asked.
"Don't worry, gan, I already told you that we are friends, so don't be afraid because I will never do sothing bad to you. I care about you, and you know that. You are so wet, and you need to change your clothes. I'm taking you ho but don't worry, because no one is at ho right now because my parents are always busy, and my brother is out of the country at the mont." Zach replied, and I suddenly felt guilty that I asked him with accusation in my voice.
I fell silent as I look outside the window, and I realized we are near the Pritzgold mansion, but Zach told we are friends. I trust him that he won't do sothing that can make feel sadder and more hurt. Then I am shocked that he slowed down his car in front of Ashton's place, but I felt so glad that he turned on the other side. I realized that Zachary's family owns the mansion across the Pritzgolds, and I can see the enormous house of Zach King; and Alice gasped, and I realized this is the first ti she ca to this part of the subdivision.
The entire house is so quiet, and no wonder Zach always wanted to be with Ashton, and I hate that even my boyfriend hurt so badly I am still thinking about him, and the worse part, I long to see him again. But I am aware we can no longer be together because it will be only a slap on my face since I was humiliated in front of his entire friends, and they all know that Ashton is only playing gas with . So, if I get back with him, they will still laugh at , and they will tell it into my face that I am so pathetic and I don't want to be like that kind of person. I don't want to be weak. I want to look strong and tough in front of those rich kids who laughed at .
Zachary asked us to co with him to his room. He gave a bath towel, and he told to use the liquid bath soap I can find inside his bathroom. And I get inside, And I take a warm shower. And I know he was talking with Alice. And I got dress quickly while I try to dry my hair with the towel, and I felt better, but my heart is still aching. I am wondering when it is going to stop hurting, and I can't ask Alice about it since she never broke up with her boyfriend, and I felt so glad my best friend is so lucky in terms of her love life.
"Are you ready?" Zach asked , and I nodded.
"Thank you, Zach," I said as I looked inside his room, and I could tell right away they have a lot of similarities with Ashton, and no wonder they are best friends.
"Don't ntion it, gan. You can call anyti if you need sothing." He replied.
"Did Ashton ask you to take ho?" I asked.
"Yes, even after I gave him a hard blow." He replied, and my eyes widened.
"You hit Ashton?" I asked in disbelief.
"Of course, we are friends, g, and I already warned him not to court you if he wasn't sure about his feelings for you. I can't speak for Ashton, g, but I know him. He is into you, and that is all I can say. I don't know what the real story is, but maybe if your anger with him subsides, you can give him a chance to at least hear his side of the story. I am not asking you to give him another chance because you may say I am biased, but I know you like him a lot, gan. I don't want you to suffer." He said, and he strode towards the door while my mouth hangs open with what he had said, and I don't want to hope again and made my heart suffer in the end, just what happened tonight.
We followed Zach into his car, and this ti, Alice sat in the backseat while I take the front seat. We talked, but I can tell Zach tried his best not to ntion's Ashton's na.
"Can I have a sleepover at your house, Al?" I asked my best friend.
"Yes, of course, I have been dying to hear you say that," Alice replied, and I felt relieved because I can't trust myself right now. I may feel okay now, but I don't know what I think later, and I don't want Ava to know I am broken-hearted, and I don't want to face my brother yet, since I am still in deep pain, and now I realized my brother was the one who suffered under Ashton's father and not his friend.
"Thank you again, Zachary," I said as we get out of his car.
"Your welco, g, and please don't overthink about it. I already give Ashton a lesson." He said, and I laughed. He drove away from us, and we get inside Alice's house, and we tiptoed going to her room. I inford my mom to tell Dex not to pick us up, and I told her I would sleep here at gan's place.
"Did Zach punch Ashton?" I asked Alice after we get inside her room, and he goes to her cabinet, and she pulled out pajamas for , and I put them on since I already took a bath at Zach's house.
"Yes, and I was shocked, but Ashton didn't fight back. He just allowed his best friend to hit his face once and then to his gut. I think Zach has a point, and maybe you should give him a chance to speak with you, g." Alice said, and I looked at her before I lay down on her bed.
"As of now, I am so confused on what to do, Alice, and I am hurting inside, and all I asked from you is please, don't talk about Ashton, for now, while everything is still fresh. Because I know if soone will ntion his na, I can feel the pain, and I hope you understand ." I said, and she nodded and offered a weak smile.
"Of course, g, good night.." She said as she switches off the main light, and she clapped her hand to make her lump shade light up, and I try closing my eyes, but I know I can't sleep tonight, and for the first ti, I experienced how to be a broken-hearted because of Ashton.
