A Match Made In Heaven - Brea isome (ebook reader for laptop txt) 📗

now I'm not moving until you tell me what happened."

I laughed and continued my useless attempt to push her off. Jas wasn't fat by any means, she was actually like a stick compared to my ass but she was strong. Once she got her mind set that she wasn't moving, she didn't. She grabbed onto the bed and held herself down.

Once i got short breathed i gave up and decided to tell her what happened. When i finished she got up and stared at me speechless. I ended the story with Ashton leaving me in the shower.

" i- am- going- to - kill- him." She fumed.

I grinned. " get in line cause i call dibs. I'm already about to beat his ass, as soon as i see him."

She stomped her foot and sat down on her own bed. " Not if i get to his ass first. Why would he take your virginity and then just leave you like that."

" he said it was business."

" girl, i wouldn't believe that excuse if it meant saving his life. Liar !"

I sat up and stared at her crazily. " when did you get so -" I stopped, looking for the right word to describe her." Crazy." I said , voicing my thoughts.

She folded her arms across her chest. " Since i had sex with AJ."

" You did what !" I screamed and jumped on her, pinning her arms to her side , " when !"

She huffed . " Saturday night. I went to the club looking for you, i was worried. AJ was in his office and he told me that you had left Friday with Ashton. So we got to talking and - you know. We were really vibbing and then it just happened- on his desk , on the floor, on that couch , against the -"

I cut her off as i jumped up. " You did not !"

" yes, i did. And then after the sixth time he just stood up, pulled his pants up and opened the door to his office, calm as hell like he wasn't just inside me." She sat up, face red. " I swear , dog must run in they family."

" tell me about it." I sat back down on my bed. " you kill Ashton for me and i kill AJ for you ?" I asked with a smile on my face.

She cracked up laughing and shook my hand. " Deal."

See, this is why we were best friends. She knew i was kidding and i knew she was kidding. But that wouldn't stop me from smacking AJ for her and i knew she would smack Ashton for me. I could never hurt the man i love in that way, and the boy she had been crushing on since our younger days.

And then i let my mind wonder- i wondered what Ashton was doing, i wondered where he was, i wondered if he was thinking about me.


-Ashton-

I tried to keep running, pushing myself, but no matter how determined i was, i couldn't run on one leg. My right leg was going out on me and i couldn't help but be pissed at the horrible timing. I knew it was coming though. The pain shooting up my leg was my sign. I needed to rest, or else i wouldn't even be stand on my leg, let alone run.

I wasn't stupid though.

I had seen those horror movies where the person always stopped running, and that was always when they got caught too. I wasn't going for that, i wasn't ready to lose my fucking life but i had no choice but to find a place to rest.

I came up to a opening where there was a wood cabin sitting smack dab in the middle. 'Five minutes,' I told myself, 'Five minutes and then I'm going right back to running.'

So i limped up to the cabin, gritting my teeth in pain. When i got right up on it, i noticed that the door was cracked so i leaned on it and put it the rest of the way open.

It was dusty, but empty. It looked unlived in. There were no doors, no people, no kitchen. All that was there was a heater on the far end of the cabin, a dusty couch on the right side that was covered in cob webs and a cellar door that was built into the floor .

I closed the door quietly behind me and took slow cautious steps toward the door. I needed to get in that cellar so bad i wasn't even thinking straight. I wasn't worried about bugs, not people, not wild animals.

It lifted up easy.

A wave up dust flew up in my face and i covered my cough as i went halfway down the steps and pulled the door back down.

I sat down quietly on the creaking steps. The smell was stale, it was dark. Pitch black, not dim. No lights. I couldn't see a thing, i didn't know if it was anything in there but if it was i would have to suck it up.

Listening closely i heard the door to the cabin creak open and i was ready to cuss myself out. What irrational thinking got me in this damn situation. Wanting to see if i was missing something, wanting to see what my father did, wanted to just make sure-

Well, no matter how much i thought about it, there wasn't a way to twist it to make it make since. And thinking about it wasn't going to get me out of this situation. I had to get out of here- hopefully with the help of AJ - and start making better fucking decisions.

I had a business to run, a beautiful girl- granted, i might've only know her a week- who needed me who i was actually interested in, and i had my whole fucking life ahead of me.

Time to get it together.

The floor above my head creaked and i knew i had to move.

I pulled my cell phone out and shined the light so that i could see around. I descended the last few steps successful without making a sound and held my phone in front of me, looking for a door, a window, a way out.


Two Kinds Of Love

- Saphire-

2 weeks passed. I found myself crying a lot, losing my mind, trying to figure out if I had done something.

Ashton had returned, the day after he left. He was on crutches, beat up and bruised with a nasty cut running from his left ear to the bottom of his neck.

He showed up on Jas's door step at 3 o'clock in the morning saying that he couldn't be with me, that it just wasn't meant to be.

I didn't know what to do, so I did the thing that any sixteen year old girl would want to do when she had her heart broken. I broke down crying, right there on the doorstep and Ashton just walked away. with his face emotionless, and his eyes dark.

It took Jas two hours to get me to stop crying, another two to get me to stop rocking back and forth, then double that time for her to finally get me to open up.

Jas was really ready to kill Ashton then but I said it was okay. I wasn't about to hold on to something that he could let go of so easily. The fact of the matter is that I was heartbroken.

I still cried.

I still went through the emotions of losing my first love.

I skipped school everyday because I couldn't even get myself to get out of bed let alone march into a school where I would have to put up with loud mouths and bullshit. So I dipped out on that.

But that was the first week. By the second week I was up again, not back in school though. I had decided to finish the rest of my schooling online.

High school wasn't the place for me. It was childish and stupid and ghetto as hell. I couldn't do it.

Friday night I woke up and pulled on a pink sundress and black 3 inch heels. I straightened my hair and let it hang, adding a bit of makeup to my face.

" where are you going?" Jas asked.

She just happened to be coming in the front door he same time I was going out.

I hiked my Nike book bag up onto my shoulders and bit my lip nervously.

Jas's opinion of me mattered so much. She was, after all, my best friend.

She meant so much to me and I couldn't help but wonder what she would think if she knew I was about to go back to Heaven.

Her face said she already knew, and that she was about to kick my ass for it.

"Uh-un," she waved her finger in my face." Go back in."

" Jas-"

" if you think you goin' to the strip club then you got life all fucked up. Saphire, why would you go back there?"

A sigh escaped my lips." Please, just move.

"No, sweetheart, we can go party, go drinking, I don't care. But you will not be going to Heaven to dance ever again, understand? Because I care about you and because I'm your friend I have to put a stop to this bullshit. You live with me and my grandmother rent fucking free. You don't have any bills to pay or any kids to care for so why, Saphire, why keep doing this?"

I didn't have an answer. I was glad that Jasmine cared so much about me to say something.

I felt a hug coming on but before I could encase her in a bone crushing hug my phone rang.

I pulled the phone from my bag to see that it was my foster mother calling.

My stomach turned at the thought of going back to her home.

That was the only time she ever called, not to see if I was okay or anything. But hell, I never called her for small talk either so I guess we were even.

I pressed the green button and put the phone up to her ear.

" Saphire, " her voice sounded rushed. " come home now."

Can You Keep A Secret

-Saphire-

My world was coming down around me, i could feel it.

Jas snapped her fingers in front of my face. " sweetheart, what's wrong?"

After the phone call from my foster mother, Macie, i had went into deep thought. I was frozen. Jas had had to pull me in the house and sat
