I have been in my room, for over two weeks now and I didn't even bother to go to school because I was still pissed. I am not eating and I don't intend to talk to anyone. My phone 'died' after that hit and I got rid of it. I told Gracie along with the security guards at the gates, that they shouldn't let anyone of my friends in the house.

I don't want to see anyone and I really don't want to hear anyone talking about shits. I just stay in my bedroom all day long and have bad nightmares at night based on my ex boyfriend Timmy.

Sometimes my Dad would ask me, what's wrong, but I didn't answer him and when he got tired of asking me, he leaves.

My stepmom would check up on me for a while and when she says something to me or ask what's wrong, I just yell at her to 'get out off my room'.

"Ashley!" I heard Dad yelling as he came inside my bedroom and I rolled my eyes.

"Are you alright?" He asked as he sat down beside me in my bed.

"Ashley talk to me, please. I am worried about you." He pleaded and I sighed.

"Ashley." He said and I kept silent. He sighed and soon after, he eventually left.

What's wrong with me?

A few minutes past and I heard crawling on the door so I knew it was Beauty. I sighed as I got up then I unlocked the door and she came in. She grew a little bigger but she's still adorable and she's the closest to me, right now.

I closed the door and I went to my bed again so she hopped on the bed, beside me. As I ruffled her ears, Gracie came into my bedroom...

"Ashley. There are three girls downstairs and they're dying to see you." She said.

"I told you that I don't want to see anyone." I snapped and she quickly nod. Then suddenly Chloe, Lexi and Zoe walked into my bedroom.

"Ashley. What the fuck? You told the guards not to let us in?" Lexi yelled at me as they sat down on my bed and Gracie decided to leave.

"You look like shit." Chloe said bluntly and I rolled my eyes.

"Why haven't you come to school? And what's wrong with you?" Zoe asked.

"What's wrong?" Lexi asked as she touched my shoulder.

"Talk to us already!" Chloe yelled and I sighed.

"Why do you have bandage on your hands?" Zoe asked, looking concern.

"It's 'damage' and when your hand is 'damage', don't you put a bandage on it?" I snapped, annoying and she rolled her eyes.

"What's wrong? Is it Tyson?" Zoe ask and I groaned at his name.

"I don't want to hear his name!" I yelled at her and she flinched while Beauty barks at me. She's one smart dog...

"Sorry." I apologized and she sighed while Beauty rolled over beside me.

"I guess we got connected to a hotspot." Lexi smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"So what did he do?" Chloe asked as she ruffled Beauty ears.

"If you don't tell us, we will just kill him when he comes back." Lexi smile innocently while looking at her nails and a smile was crawling up my lips.

"Then we will hide the body." Chloe smirked while putting her index finger over her lips and I smiled.

"I am sure no one will find out." Zoe said while playfully looking around and I chuckled.

"There you go. Lighten up a little." Lexi said as she slightly shoved me in the shoulder and I smiled.

I love these bitches so much...

"Now tell us what happened." Zoe said and I sighed. I started to tell them what happened and what Theo said then they started to look like psychopaths.

"That fucking asshole! How dare him?" Lexi said, looking pissed and Beauty growls. She must be agreeing with Lexi or something...

"But do you think he's telling the truth, about Tyson going to see his 'real girlfriend' named Cindy?'' Zoe asked while putting some gestures on 'real girlfriend'.

"Cindy?" Chloe asked and we all looked at her.

"Where have I heard that name before?" She asked herself and I sighed.

"I don't think he was telling the truth but he's just messing with you and knowing you would tell me, to get me jealous then to kill him." Lexi said bluntly and I shrugged it off.

Jealous?

"Plus, Tyson has been calling Noah and asking why Ashley isn't answering her phone." Zoe informed me.

"And he's coming back today. I heard him talking to Tyler this morning." Chloe said.

"You were at Tyler's house this morning?" I smirked at that point and she blushed.

"Just talk to him because I am very sure that he will come straight here after he leaves the airport." Lexi said and I sighed.

"Fine." I said and they grinned.

"Now, go have a bath and freshen up." Lexi said and I rolled my eyes.

"We will be downstairs, waiting for you." Chloe said and I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Come on Beauty." Lexi said as they stood up and Beauty jumped off the bed.

"Where are we going?" I asked, curiously and Chloe shrugged.

"You will see."

******

When Chloe says 'I will see', she really means it because they brought me to my favorite mall.

"You brought us to this mall?" Zoe ask and she nod.

"What?" Chloe asked, looking pissed off.

"Seriously? This mall. I fucking love this mall because they have all my favorite designs." Zoe said while clapping her hands.

"Me too. Like, it's the most fanciest mall in the state, girl." Chloe said and I chuckled as they both babbled away...

"Are you okay?" Lexi asked me and I smiled.

"Let's go shopping." I said while putting my hands up in the air and they chuckled.

After shopping, we literally dropped in the food court and ended up eating lunch.

"Hmm. This is so tasty." Zoe said as she took another bite of her sandwich and we chuckled.

"Yep. They really have good food here." Lexi said as she licked her lips and I chuckled lightly.

"Would you ladies want anything else?" The blonde waiter asked.

"No, what about you?" Lexi smirked at the waiter and he chuckled.

"Yep. What about your numbers?" He smirked back and she looked at us while playfully rolling her eyes at the waiter.

"No fucking way." A voice booms behind us and we all turned to see a person that I never thought of seeing again.

Taj, Chloe brother?

Why is everyone appearing from the past these days?

"What are you doing here, Taj?" Chloe partially yelled at him while catching some customers attention and the waiter quickly left...

"Chloe, he's your brother. You should be happy to see him because it has been a long time." Lexi said while looking at her and I nod in agreement.

"You wouldn't understand if I even tell you." She snapped at Lexi and Lexi raised an eyebrow while I was confused.

"No fighting girls." Taj smirked as he took a seat beside me and Zoe.

"I am Taj. What's your name?" He asked Zoe.

"Zoe." She said and he checked her out while nodding.

"Nice to meet ya, Zoe." He smirked then he looked at me while Zoe awkwardly nod.

What is he up to?

"Taj, what are you doing here?" Chloe asked as she gave him a death glare.

What's wrong with her?

"I told you that I will be in town, sis." He said and she raised an eyebrow at him.

"Don't call me sis! I am not your sister!" She informed him and we stared at her.

"What are you talking about?" I asked and she sighed.

"She didn't tell you guys and you call yourselves, best friends? What a pity? I thought best friends don't keep secrets from each others. Anyways I knew she didn't have the guts to tell you." He said to us and I felt pissed.

"What the hell is he talking about Chloe?" I yelled at that point.

"He's isn't my real brother. He's my stepbrother. My father adopted him, since my Mom couldn't have anymore children and my Dad wanted a son to take over his business because he's getting old. But Taj did something which is unforgivable and I am sorry, I didn't tell you." She started to cry and Taj tensed up.

"And what did he do?" Lexi asked and she sniffed. I hand her a napkin and she took it while mumbling a 'thank you' .

"He.... He..." She was suddenly cut off by Taj...

"No need to tell them now. You will just ruin the fun." He said as he shifted uncomfortable in his seat.

He's definitely hiding something or guilty of something!

"Tell us Chloe! We deserve to know! Aren't we best friends?" I asked and Taj glared at me.

I am a bitch, I know...

"He raped my little sister Abby and she didn't die of illness but she died because of him. And he is supposed to be in prison for his lifetime, but it seems like he broke out." Now she started was crying like crazy.

Wait! What? How could he do that?

"You sick bastard!" I yelled at him as I shoved him out off his chair. He fell to the ground and I stood up while all eyes were on us.

"How could you do that to your half sister? She was just a child! She didn't even get to see highschool because of you!" I yelled at him.

"You asshole! She didn't even get to live. She could have done so much more in her life, if you didn't raped her. If you wanted to do that, why didn't you do it to a dog. You big bitch!" Lexi yelled at him as she got up and she grabbed him by the collar then pulling him up to his feet.

"Oh really? Would that dog be you? Big whore!" He spit at her and some people gasped.

"What a disgusting boy?"

"He should be in prison!"

"If my boyfriend was here, I would let him beat the shit out of that monster."

"He doesn't deserve to live, since he destroyed a little girl's future."

And people started to talk about him while shaking their heads.

"How could you do that to a little girl?" Lexi asked as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Don't question me, you bitch! You caused a scene over nothing." He yelled at her.

"Over nothing? Oh really? You destroyed a life, isn't that something? You raped a little girl and you were her adopted brother. You were supposed to protect her and guide her through the right path!" Lexi spit at him and his face tensed up.

"Shut up you bitch!" He said as he slapped her across the face then she stumbled to the ground and some people stood up.

"Lexi." I said as I kneed down beside her with the girls.

"I am fine." She said as she wiped the blood off her lip while glaring at Taj.

"You." I snarled at Taj and he slowly started to step away.

I stood up and I walked towards him while grabbing a nearby chair. When I was about to, smash it in his face, I was stopped...

"No need to worry girl. We will deal with this asshole." A group of boys stood up and walked towards him then I almost groan.

They were highschool boys, but not from my school. As they started to punch him, I turned around while putting down the chair and I went over to my girls. Peoples were leaving and security guards were coming in...

"Lexi, I am so sorry. This is my fault." Chloe cried and she frowned.

"It's not your fault. He's a sick and insane guy. He destroyed your little sister life and he deserves to be punish." Lexi said and Chloe nod.

"That's so true. Let me help you get her up." A voice said and we turned to see an orange brunette hair girl.

"Thanks." Zoe said as the girl helped us get Lexi up on her feet.

"It's okay. He really deserves to be punish for what he did." She said and we nod.

"My name is Mia, by the way." She said and I smiled as I recognized her. So she's the girl, Scott was supposed to bring on a date, huh?

"So you're Scott's girlfriend?" I smirked and she blushed.

"You know Scott?" She asked and I nod.

"Yep." I said and she smiled.

"Do you think he likes me?" She asked and I chuckled.

"Yep. Do you like him?" I asked and she blushed again.

"Of course. He's so cute and sweet...." Then she started to babble away and when we all chuckled, she stopped.

"If it's so.... We can be good besties." I said while walking in a small circle around her and she smiled.

"Are you guys being serious?" She asked and we nod.

"Oh my god! I never had best friends because the students all say that I am a nerd and blah blah. I always see you guys at school and oh my God, you all are like the most popular students in school. The way you all walk together as one, is really fascinating." She said and we chuckled.

"Welcome to Zoe world, here." Lexi joked as she pointed to Zoe. Zoe playfully frowned and we chuckled.

"You go to our school?" Chloe asked and she nod.

"So what? Besties?" Zoe asked and she grinned.

"Besties." She said and we did a hug until we heard..

"I am still in pain, you know?" Lexi groans and we chuckled.

*****

After that bestie thing in the mall, we exchanged numbers and we all went home. I walked into my bedroom and suddenly I saw Tyson sleeping on my bed. I groan whul putting my shopping bags on the sofa then I walked over to him and I glared at his sleeping body...

"Why are you here?" I snapped and his eyes flew eyes. He sat up and suddenly he grabs my hand while pulling me down beside him.

"What's wrong with you? And what happened to your hands?" He asked, looking curious and I rolled my eyes.

"Why would you even care?" I asked and he pulled me into a hug.

"Tyson." I said and he let me go. He stared into my eyes and I looked away from him.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked bluntly and I sighed.

"You promised." Is all I said and he nodded.

"To make it up to you." His smiled kind of made me smile but for a little while.

"Not that." I said and he raised an eyebrow at me.

"Then what is it?" He asked and I sighed. I pulled out of his arms and I stood up.

"You promised me that you wouldn't let anyone hurt me and you will always be there for me." I mumbled and he sat up.

"What? I didn't hear you." He said, looking serious and I sighed.

"You promised me that you wouldn't let anyone hurt me and you will always be here for me. But you weren't here, when I needed you the most. You weren't!" I yelled and he tensed up.

"What? Who hurt you?" He suddenly yelled back and I rolled my eyes.

"Tyson. Who's Cindy?" I asked and he raise an eyebrow at me.

"Who? Cindy? I don't know anyone named Cindy, well, I think. Was she the one who hurt you?" He asked, looking confused and I rolled my eyes.

"Ashley. Who hurt you?" He asked, looking pissed at my silence.

"Theo kissed me." I said while shrugging and his jaw bone was tensed.

"I am going to kill him." He informed me as he got up off my bed...

"And I kind of beat him up a bit...." I was suddenly cut off by a kiss.

"No one should kiss you, unless its me. Don't worried, I will take care of him tomorrow even though you 'beat him up a bit' and I believe you. So let's get some sleep." He said and I looked away from him.

"Why did you go to you brother place?" I asked, curiously.

"He's a gangleader like me, but his gang house got burned down and he's staying at a little place with my little brother and sister. So he asked me if he could let his gang stay at my gang house until he comes while my siblings will be coming home and some other stuff which we couldn't speak over the phone about." He said bluntly and I looked back at him.

"Now let's get some sleep. I want my strength for tomorrow plus I already told your stepmom that I will be staying over." He said and I sighed.

"You know you are breaking number one rule, right?" I informed him and he ruffled his hair.

"Well, you're dating a bad boy and breaking rules is a hobby for me plus you should have know that because you're the bad boy's girl." He said with a slight smirk and I chuckled.

He smiled. We went over to my bed and I laid down in his chest while he wrapped his arms around me.

I felt so warm and comfortable in his arms. He kissed my forehead and I smiled. He placed his chin on top of my head and I placed my right hand over his chest, feeling comfortable.

Gosh, I missed him!
