Chapter 4: Rainy Nights
Say You Like Me
Ash's P.O.V
I watched as Adrianna get safely across the branches watching her feet making sure she didn't slipped. My eyes moved up to her legs. Wow she has amazing legs and an amazing... wait what am I thinking?! Anyway she finally made it into her room, she looked a little sad as I was closing my window. Did I upset her? Laying down I couldn't stop thinking about how cute her laugh was and how cute it was when her face got really red, and how great it felt when we were laying down together and how great it would be waking up to her face. I laid back down and quickly closed my eyes while thinking about Adrianna.
Waking up in the morning I stretched out and went downstairs to have breakfast with my mom, step dad and of course my brothers.
"So Ash tell me about last night." Chad said winking at me.
"I have no clue what you're talking about." I lied. Of course I knew he was talking about Adrianna but how'd he know she was over?
"Oh you don't remember hearing a girls laughter last night? Cause I do." Brock added.
"Still don't know what you are talking about." I said grabbing an apple from the Island. At this point my mom, Talia, was just giggling on the other side of the island.
"It was Adrianna! Wasn't it!" Chad said in excitement.
"Still don't know what you are talking about." I said heading back upstairs and jumping back in bed turning on my x-box. I turned my head towards my window and I could see Adrianna heading out her bedroom door already dressed. It was seven in the morning, I wonder where she's going.
"Hey man, we are going to go dad's grave, we wanted to know if you wanted to come?" Jared asked nervous.
"Are you guys seriously asking that!?...HELL NO!" I was so mad, I hate going to my dad's grave I hate thinking about the past! I got up pushed him out of the door way and slammed the door. They all know the reason why I hate going to the grave but the ask me anyway? At this point I was running my hands through my hair. I put my hand in a fist and then punched my wall, I was so mad I didn't even think of the pain I was feeling from hitting the wall. I fell back on my bed and put my hands behind my head staring at the ceiling.
Adrianna's P.O.V
It was now like three o'clock in the afternoon and I just got back from Saturday school since I was late to school yesterday and now Kylie was at my house so we could hangout.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe he invited you in his room!" Kylie said looking out my window.
"And you didn't fall off the tree!" She added.
"haha nope!" I said popping the 'p'.
"Omg! I can't wait to tell girls that you got invited into Ash's bedroom! Just imagine the look on their faces!" She said happily.
"NO! Kylie you can't tell anyone! I don't want anyone to know! He'll think I'm telling people everything and he'll think I'm some kind of creeper or something!" I said getting kind of mad that she wanted to tell people.
"Okay fine I won't, sorry."
"It's fine. It was probably just a one time thing anyway." I said looking at her
Kylie left after we talked more and around eight my mom finally got back from work and so did my dad!
"Daddy!" I ran toward him like a little girl embracing him in a tight hug.
"Hey sweetie!" He said kissing the top of my forehead.
My mom, dad and I all sat together at dinner table catching up and asking him when he had to go back to the office.
"Um actually sweetie, it's a little more complicated then just going back to the office."
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"Um I got a new job offer in New York City and I leave tomorrow morning."
"W..what? What do you mean you got a new job offer? And you took it without my opinion?" I felt the tears coming, and my eyes began to water.
"I had to take the job offer sweetie it was to great of a deal to pass up." He stated.
"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE THE STUPID JOB! THAT'S IN NEW YORK DAD! WE ARE IN CALIFORNIA AND YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LEAVE US???! I BARELY GET TO SEE YOU NOW AND YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LEAVE!?"
After arguing back and forth with my mom and dad I couldn't take it anymore, I barley got to see him as it already was and now he was planning on moving across the entire United States.
By this point I was standing and tears were streaming down my face. I didn't know what to do so I just ran out the house. I ran into the cold raining weather getting soaked right away, I started to cry even harder and harder standing in the middle of the road. I saw a flash of car lights coming towards me. Did I want to move? Did they see me? Where they going to stop? A part of me wanted to get hit by the car so I stayed and closed my eyes but when I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and the body jolting me to the side of the road the car stepped on its breaks and honked angrily at us, then drove off . At this point both me and the person who saved me were on the ground. I looked up to see who saved me.
"Ash?" I started to cry more.
"WHAT THE FUCK ADRIANNA!? ARE YOU CRAZY!" I just looked at him not saying anything.
"Say something!" He looked so angry, disappointed and even hurt. The rain got even harder and by this point we both were soaked.
"I wasn't thinking." I said honestly.
"DAMN RIGHT YOU WEREN'T THINKING!" he said helping me off the ground.
"WELL GEEZ GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!" I said screaming at him.
"ADRIANNA YOU COULD OF KILLED YOURSELF!"
"SO? SO WHO CARES ABOUT ME! NO ONE! NOT EVEN MY OWN FUCKING DAD! OR MY BEST FRIEND! SHE LEAVES ME AT PARTIES NOT EVEN REMEMBERING SHE TOOK ME! MY MOM IS TOO BUSY WITH WORK! I BASICALLY LIVE BY MYSELF! by this point I was crying as hard as I ever could and I never ever cry it was like my diary was falling from my eyes. I just felt so alone and it didn't seem like anyone around me truly cared for me.
"I ONLY HAVE ONE FRIEND AT SCHOOL BECAUSE EVERYONE THINKS I'M ETHER WEIRD OR ANNOYING! WHY'D YOU FUCKING SAVE ME? YOU COULDN'T JUST LET ME DIE OR SOMETHING?! I continued.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR DAMN PROBLEM?! MAYBE I SHOULD OF JUST LET THAT CAR HIT YOU!" He said storming off now I was left alone all by myself in this cold weather soaking wet.
I didn't realize how mad I made him and now he'll probably hate me! I just ruined the friendship I could of had with Ash. I turned down the street not wanting to go to my house or anything so I just ran. I ran, I wasn't sure were I was going I just let my feet take me anywhere I needed to get away from my parents, from everyone.
I finally stopped to catch my breath in a middle of a big field, I sat down and slowly laid my head on the ground just watching the stars. The words just replayed in my mind. I began to cry again but quickly wiped the tears away knowing my eyes where going to be swollen in the morning.
It finally stopped raining and I was cold so I walked back home, it probably wasn't the smartest idea to run as far as I did. Once I got to my house I went to the backyard and decided to curl up in a little ball and close my eyes on our outdoor couch. Luckily there was a blanket I could use to stay warm.
I woke up with the sun beating down on me, I felt all gross and sweaty, I probably smelled too. I had realized slept outside which was not my plan at all I eventually was going to go inside. Getting up I tried to check my phone but it was dead.
"Of course." I mumbled to myself. By this point my dad was probably on a plane right now, I don't even want to go inside yet, I'm not ready to but I didn't really have a choice I needed to shower and get out of these clothes.
Finally getting to my front door I was scared to open it, like really scared I was probably going to get grounded for running away from my problems and not facing them. That's what I always do though. I always run.
Slowly opening the door my scared, worried, sleepless mother ran towards me and giving me a tight hug.
"Oh sweetie I'm so sorry your father already left and the boy next door told me that he saw you running and didn't know what was wrong." Ash? Of course he knew what the fuck was wrong! I guess he didn't want to say anything to my mom.
"I tried looking for you and calling your phone but no answer. I had no clue where you had run off to, I was worried sick." My mom said looking very distraught.
"I'm okay, I'm going to change and take a shower." I told her walking upstairs.
"Adrianna." My mom said sternly. I turned around to look at her again.
"Never run off like that again. Please." She said almost in a begging tone. I just nodded my head and continued to my room.
I'm still really sad and mad of what happened last night I didn't mean what I said to Ash, I was glad he saved me. I guess I was just angry. I finally got to my room and started the shower. Getting into it I felt the warm water fall on my face. After my shower I changed into some dark denim Hollister jeans and a with tight grey fitting t-shirt. I brushed my hair and then brushed my teeth. Since it was only the morning I put on some makeup.
I finally was finished getting ready when and began to charge my phone. I looked out my window to see if I could see Ash 'stalker status'. Right away Ash saw me, he walked to his window and I thought he was going to open it but he just closed his blinds. Wow I must've really screwed up and I can't text him because I don't have his number.
"What a wonderful Sunday." I said to myself sarcastically. By this point I was super mad that he was ignoring me so I decided I'd walk to his house and tell him that he needs to stop acting like a baby. I slipped on some flip flops and ran out of my house to his.
I knocked on the door multiple times not caring if his parents got mad.
"What do you want?" Ash said swinging the door open obviously still mad at me.
"I'm sorry okay, I'm really sorry about what I said I didn't mean it okay!"
"Adrianna you may not know this but I watched my own father die I couldn't just sit in my drive way and watch you die too." He watched his own dad die?! I'm such a bad person! I felt a tear stream down my face.
"I'm really sorry Ash!"
"I don't want to hear it Adrianna! I got to go." He said shutting the door in my face. Was he really not accepting my apology? Great just great! I went back to my house and ran to my room. As soon as I laid on my bed I had the urge to cry because I was so frustrated but I didn't. I didn't want to give Ash that satisfaction.
