Ashlyn POV

“Jessi! Jessi!” I banged the door hard in haste.

I could feel my heartbeat banging hard against my chest and goosebumps all over my skin. My vision was getting blurry due to tears on the brink of my eyelids.

Shaking like a leaf, the panic and frustration were hitting all at once. However, I had no time to figure out the cause. Could it be cold rain that had soaked me from head to toe? Or could it be an unexpected circumstance that came across my way?

“Ash! Slow down!” Finally hearing my best friend Jessica's voice on the other side of the door, I came to a halt and desperately waited for her to open up.

The moment she stood at the door, I hugged her tight. The tears which I was trying hard to control burst out all at once.

“Ash! What happened? Is everything alright? Ash!”

She kept on asking, but I was not able to answer any of her questions. All I could do was clutch her tight and cry like a baby. Once I was able to take control of my cry, I pulled away from her. Then I fetched a piece of paper from my jeans pocket. With a trembling hand, I passed it to Jessica.

“Oh! My god!” She exclaimed. “What is this? Don’t tell me this is a break-up note from Nico?”

“NO!” I exclaimed, “It’s– my mom–” Not able to explain, I burst into more tears.

“Sorry! Sorry! My bad!” She grabbed my arms and dragged me inside, saying, “Come! Take a seat first!”

Just as I was about to plunge on the couch, she shouted, “Wait!”

Astounded, I glanced at her and saw her reaching out for the towel. Tucking it neatly on the couch, she said, “Sorry! I cannot afford to drench the sofa. It will be hard for me to dry it. Now you can sit.”

After I settled down on the couch, she stood before me and unfolded the note that I handed to her.

“Hey! Honeybunch,

I will be gone by the time you read this. I am so sorry. I am leaving with Alex and will not be back anytime soon. Below is the address of your stepbrother, Xavier. Please go to him. He will take care of you from now on.”

Your Loving

Mom!”

“Damn!” Glancing at me from the note, Jessica muttered, “Your mother eloped with the guy you hate the most and wants you to stay with his son.”

She plunged beside me, adding salt to my injury, “How can she abandon you like your father?”

Pulling my legs closer to my chest, I hugged my knees. Her words hurt me like hell, and I could do nothing because that was the truth.

Moving back and forth in anxiety, I muttered, “What am I gonna do, Jess? My world has crumbled down.”

“I know, right!” Gently, she placed her hand on my shoulder, saying, “Is there any option other than going to your stepbrother? I really don’t want you to leave!”

Silently, I glanced at her for a second and then hugged her breaking down in tears. “I don’t know. I don’t know anything, Jess!”

Late in the night, the rain was making the loudest sound hitting against my roof. Unlike other moments, it didn’t give me solace to drift into the dream world, instead it was hard for me to fall asleep.

I twisted and turned, shutting my eyes tight, but the sleep was nowhere near to me. The only thing that was near was my desperate heart. It was missing my mom and recalling all the happy moments I had with her.

Trying to shake away her thoughts, I opened my eyes wide and stared at the ceiling for some time. Then I turned my head to the side and saw Jessica sleeping beside me. I couldn’t help being thankful to her for staying over at my house, even though she had extra classes early in the morning.

When thoughts about her ended, and I got back to thinking about my mother, I flipped to the other side and reached out for my phone. Finding no text messages or phone calls from my boyfriend, Nico, broke my heart.

To mend it, I tried to call him for the twentieth time, but still he was not answering my call. I wondered why he was ignoring me like a plague or if he was occupied with some important work for real.

Placing the phone back on the nightstand, I began to think about my future. While counting all the possible places where I could get a job and continue my studies, I finally fell asleep.

I have no idea how long I slept until my sleep was broken with some noise coming from the window behind me. Just as I was about to get up to check, I heard someone calling for Jessica.

‘Who might be calling her this late in my window?’ I was wondering when I sensed Jessica getting down from the bed and rushing towards the window.

“Nico! What are you doing here?”

‘What? Nico?’ I was shocked to hear her whisper. ‘No, no, I must have misheard it. Why would Nico–’

“I couldn't hold it, so I came to you!” I heard the whisper of the person at the window, which sounded like Nico. However, my heart was not ready to accept it was him. I mean how it could be him. After all, there was not a single chance for him to be there in that heavy downpour.

“We can't do it tonight. You must leave!” Jessica whispered.

“How can you say that? You have made this habit for me, and now you are denying it. This is not fair.”

“I do not deny it. But see your girlfriend is sleeping, right there. What if she gets up? Are you ready to take the risk, Nico?”

‘Nico!’ This time it was all clear. She indeed said Nico and there was not even another fact to deny it as she called me his girlfriend. My heart ran wild against my chest and chills ran down my spine.

“Who cares?” I could hear Nico’s whisper. “Besides, it would be great if she could find out about us and I don’t have to ask for a break-up anymore. I am so fed up with her. Do you know how many times she called me? Why can't she understand that once ignored, you shouldn’t call again?”

“I know, right? She is such a leech. Once stuck, you cannot get rid of her. No wonder why her parents abandoned her. First it was her father and now her mother.”

It was hard for me to believe that my bestfriend, whom I had been with since my first grade, was talking such things about me. I clutched my chest tight and shut my eyes tight, squeezing the tears from my brink. I wished I could block my ears and not hear anything they were talking about me. So, that I could be with them even after the betrayal they gave me behind my back.

“She got what she deserved. Anyway, are you coming out or should I come in?” asked Nico.

“It's pouring outside. I don't want to get wet!” Jessica whined.

“Then I am coming in!”

“Nico, no, you really should leave.”

“Since I am already here, let me have one kiss. Just one kiss–”

“No!” Jessica denied sharply. “Once you start it doesn’t end well. So, please–”

Suddenly, the room dropped into total silence. Gulping hard, I slowly turned my head and looked over my shoulder. Seeing them kissing passionately and his hands grabbing both her apples, I felt my world crashing down. Then, when his hand reached between her legs, she flinched. Hastily, I turned away and shut my eyes tight.

“Nico–” Jessica whispered, which sounded more like a moan. “Don't do that.”

“Why?” He whispered back. “Don't you like it? Or will you not be able to hold back like me?”

“Nico–stop–ahh!” She moaned. “Not your fingers inside–Nico ahh!”

“Please, say yes! Please! I want to get inside you!” I heard him begging.

“I want you inside me! Should we go to the other room? Ahhh–” asked Jessica in between her moans.

“No, I will have you right here. Right beside her. She sleeps like a rock and will not know a thing. I promise!”

Right after those hurtful words, I could feel them sitting on the other side of the bed.

“Oh! How badly I have been starving to have you! Why do you taste so good?” I could hear his voice coming from down. He was probably tasting her lower lips between her legs.

“Nico! Baby why are you so good at this– ahh” she moaned in whispers. “Oh! My God! I am coming! I am coming! Nico! Please get inside me, please, I cannot take it any longer.”

“Okay! I will be inside you! Wait!” he said and next moment he declared, “I am entering!”

“Ahh! You are big! I love this! Faster! Nico, faster!”
