Hearing the Door Slam (Ch. 7)

Rebecca hugs me. To my surprise I wasn't crying in tears. I guess I've gotten so used to this feeling that I'm not so hurt by it anymore.

I inhale a deep breath.

-Next Morning

I go to my dorm and get dressed. Ashton is still sleeping when I enter the room. I grab my things. As I'm doing this, I notice his eyes open. He grabs me to pull me into his bed.

I feel the heat of his bare chest.

"Ashton?" I ask annoyed.

He doesn't make a sound. Agitated, I pull myself away from him. I hear him whine in disappointment.

I walk out the door.

During our free time is when we get our lunch. I decide to stay in the lounge today. Rebecca and Annette sit next to me. Annette and I don't make eye contact. It's been too long.

Ashton sits down with us. I roll my eyes. Honestly, I didn't know what we were.

"Heh, this boy." I chuckle.

He looks at me and I put my head down.

I raise my head to see Ashton staring at someone.

It was a boy. By the way he walked you could tell he was extremely egotistical. Like the type of boy who'd only get with girls to boost his self esteem. He dressed somewhat elegantly. By the smirk on his face he seemed proud, too proud. As if he thought he was an alpha. He had a good looking face though.

"Hmm." I thought.

I had the desire to see what would happen if I were to do this. Make Ashton know that he can't keep doing this. That he can't keep doing this to me. The one he loved. The one he betrayed.

I give Ashton an evil smirk. He looks at me in confusion. His face quickly fades from confusion into sadness and hate for this guy.

I walk up to him.

"Hey." I said.

"Oh, why hello." He replies.

His voice already sounded so cocky. It disgusted me. I clear my throat and continue.

"Um... so what's your name?" I ask.

"Well, my name is..."

His talking turned into mush. This guy had been annoying already and would not stop rambling.

"You talk to much." I snicker.

Get onto my toes.

"But you are quite good looking." I whisper into his ear.

His face turns smug, like as if he had just ran a marathon and won.

He grabs me and kisses me. I wasn't expecting this at all. Though I needed Ashton to learn a lesson. So I kissed back.

I regretted it.

I pull away and look at the ground. This guy had been too fast. I look up.

"Desperate huh?" I smirk and walk away.

When I get back to the table I see Rebecca and Annette laughing. I smile. I turn to see Ashton fuming.

I laugh at him sarcastically.

I walk to go upstairs to my dorm.

When I finally get to my room I realize Ashton had been following me.

I don't talk, but he starts.

"Unbelievable." I hear him say.

I chuckle.
