Ashley’s pov
I can do this, i can do this. All i just need to do is to go in there, get my things and leave. Is not that difficult, right?
Here i was standing in front of the Js mansion to collect my things but I’m finding it difficult to walk in there. I mean, what if i cross path with Josh? What if he hates me already?
I took one step to the front door when it was push opened. Luckily for me it was Joshua.
Thank goodness.
“hey, pony. Are you here to get your bags?”
“yup. What are you doing out here?” He wave a pack of cigarette and lighter in front of my face. Oh, he was going to the garage to smoke. “how about the others?”
He grinned. “ ‘the others’ you meant Josh, right?”
“maybe?”
He smiled. “haven’t set eyes on him since morning. You guys broke up, right?” I nodded my head yes. “he is really heartbroken. He haven’t said a word to anyone since he got back from the date yesterday. He hasn’t even eaten. He is really depressed.”
God, what have i done? I don’t suppose to have broken up with Josh. Maybe i should have told them or better still tell Josh the truth about Evans and his threat. Why did i keep quiet about it? Why? Oh, Evans had threatened me with Jeremy.
I sighed as i ran my fingers throu-ghmy ponytails. “he will be okay, right?”
He shrug. “can’t say.”
After a while, Joshua left to the garage to have fun with his cigarette while i walked into the house with my last boldness. Trust me, if i set eyes on Josh, I’m going to fall. My legs are weak already.
I didn’t see anyone in the living room so, that made my journey easier as i climbed the stairs into my room. I packed my bags and said my last goodbyes to the room i grew to love.
I stepped out of the room with my bags and was about to go downstairs when i sighted Josh closed door. Should i go in and see what he is doing? Should i tell him goodbye before leaving? I contemplated on what to do before going with my first thought which was to go in.
I dropped my bags down and walked closer to Josh’s door. I knocked but there was no answer. I knocked again. Still no answer.
I hope he is okay.
I knocked again and again and again but he wasn’t answering. I tried opening the door and surprisingly it opened.
I stepped into the black cool room and closed the door behind me. I looked around but i couldn’t find Josh anywhere.
“Josh?” No answer.
I opened the bathroom and started hearing the sound of the shower. Oh, maybe he was talking his bath. I was going to leave when half part of me told me to still check up on him.
“Let’s do this. we just need to know if he is okay or not.” I whisper to myself before going further into the bathroom and lo and behold, there he was. His clothes were still on but his head was facing down. I was quite sure he has being there for God knows how long.
“JOSH!” I screamed as i stepped inside the shower glas-sto get him out of it.
He slowly lifted his head and his cold gaze came on me. He was angry. Very angry. If look could kill then i would have being dead by now.
“wh…what are you doing here?” He asked coldly.
I took in a de-ep breath before speaking. “ are you alright? Come on, let’s leave here. You are cold.” I turned off the shower and motioned him to stand up which he did but the next step he took, took me by surprise.
He held my right arm and dragged me out of the bathroom with him into the bedroom.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE.” he yelled this time around.
“i..i..”
“HAVEN’T YOU DONE ENOUGH ALREADY? I AM IN THIS MESS BECAUSE OF YOU, YOU, YOU.”
“Jo..Josh..I’m..i..I’m sorry.” I stuttered. I was so fu-cking scared of the guy am seeing now. His eyes were so cold and he looked so mean. God, the Josh am seeing right here could kill someone.
“you promise you wouldn’t leave me. You promised! But what did you do? You left! You left me! I shouldn’t have trusted you, i shouldn’t have fallen for you. You are worse than my father!”
Okay, that hurt like a bitc-h.
“what are you saying?! Do you think am happy? Do you think you are the only one suffering from the break up? huh? I’m in pain also!”
He scoffed, looking at me in irritation. “wow. Why are you telling me all this now? do you want me to feel bad for you? or sad? or what?”
“i want you to und-erstand me! und-erstand me, Josh!”
“und-erstand what?!? I should und-erstand the fact that you left me and broke up with me because of some selfish reason? huh?”
Okay, this is getting out of hand. Why was he making all this difficult? Huh? i did everything for him. I left him for his own good, so why was he treating me this way?
“stop shedding those crocodile tears, okay? Stop acting like the victim here, it’s fu-cking annoying.”
I was crying? I quickly wipe the tears and stare at him in his eyes. “you are…”
“hang it there, Ashley.” Ashley? How about princess? Really? Does he hate me this much? He moved closer to me. “i will make sure to forget about you. I will live my life and forget you ever existed. Trust me. Now, get out of my room, get out of my house and get out of my life.”
?Josh’s pov?
She stood there staring at me with sadness and hurt in her eyes. God, i made her cry. I fu-cking made my princess cry. Yeah, she hurt me, she hurt me really badly but that didn’t justify what i did.
”I’m sorry.” She whispers before walking out of my room and probably out of my life as well.
What have i done? I shouldn’t have said all those things? But i was hurt too.
I ran my fingers throu-ghmy w-et hair and stare down at the frame at my bedside. That was the gift she had given to me before she left.
The frame held the picture of both of us when we went for our first date. I didn’t even know she had taken a picture until now.
I miss her like crazy. Its only being a day without her and I’m already going crazy.
I sank down at the edge of my bed and rested my head on my palm. I need to think about my future and my next step.

Ashley’s pov
“hello?…yes…i know…he hasn’t showed up yet…yes…The plan?…. okay…we just need to figure the other person in the picture…yes…he is our only hope…yeah…bye.” I hung the call up and toss my phone to the bed.
Only one person knew about Evans threat and trust me, that person is trustworthy. The fight between Josh and i last week, made me fall sick the next day. He wants to forget about me when I’m here trying to help him out of his mess.
Yes, he deserve the right to be mad at me but come on…I am doing all this for his own good so, why does he want to forget about me? why?
My bedroom door was flung opened and there they were, my friends.
“babes, are you alright?” Jasmine asked as they both walked in.
I nodded my head yes and sat down at the edge of my bed staring at the floor.
“are you sure?” Tiffany asked again.
Honestly, I’m not okay. I’ve being searching for this so called guy in the photo for the past one week now but haven’t seen him. And i need to locate him before Josh moves on and forget about me because if he does, I’m going to die.
“you are crying.” Jasmine whispered and sat down at my left side before drawing me closer to herself. My head rested on her ch-est. I didn’t even know I was crying. fu-ck this tears.
“Josh is a di-ck.” She added to lighten my mood but it rather made me more upset.
I pulled away from her embrace and glared at her. “it isn’t his fault, okay? I was the one who broke up with him! I am the jerk here. I am_”
“I’m sorry.” She cuts me off. Thank God she did, if not i would have mistakenly mention that douche bag name. Yeah, Evans.
“calm down, Ash. Please, everything will be fine. I’m sure of it.” Tiffany said calmly.
“i miss him, Tiff. I miss Josh like crazy. I miss him. What if he moves on and forget about me? What if he hates me more than anything in this world? I can’t live without Josh. I can’t.” I said sobbing.
“then why did you break up with him. Because you clearly still love him.” Jasmine said. I didn’t say anything but turned my gaze to the window. If they could look de-eply then they would see him. Evans had being keeping his eyes on me since i got back home but fortunately, he always keep a good distance.
“Ashley?” They both called out.
I let out a soft breath. “i have no choice.” That was all i said.
†††
I was still asleep when my stupid phone rang, waking me up from my ugly sleep.
I groa-ned before answering the call.
“yes?” I asked in a sleepy tone.
“hey, love.” I groa-ned loudly. Hearing his voice always make me want to commit murder. Going to jail after killing this jerk worth it. “seems like you are happy to hear my voice.”
“fu-ck you, Evans. What do you want again? I’ve done everything you asked me to do, I’ve broken up with Josh and like you want, I’m very sad about it, very, very, very sad and heartbroken. So what else do you want?”
He chuckled. Die! Idiot! Die! Damn! where is the magic power now that i need it? ”hey, you haven’t done the important part of the deal.”
“what? What are you even saying?” Jerk.
“i will rephrase, love. I had told you to break up with Josh and be mine again.”
“kill me.” fu-ck! I shouldn’t have said that. “forget i said that.” I quickly added before he takes that serious and then kill me when I’m asleep.
He started laughing. “i won’t kill you, love. So you don’t have to worry about it. I want you to meet me at your former house tomorrow, at sunset. You must come and you must not be late.”
“what? why? what for?”
“hey, love. No question, remember?”
“you never said that before.” i pointed out angrily. No, i can’t see Evans yet until i find that guy in that picture. Oh my God. I need to find the original picture and post it but if i don’t find the guy before sunset tomorrow, then my plan is ruined for good and i will also lost Josh.
“really? okay, now am telling you. Hey, mind you, you are to come alone. I repeat alone.” and with that he hung up.
fu-ck! This can’t be happening to me. No, it can’t. I need to think of a plan immediately.
i started bit-ing my nails as i think of what to do.
My phone started ringing and quickly yank the phone from the bed and answered the call.
“yes?…wait, really?….Yes! Yes! Yes! I’m on my way now. Yeah!…” And i hung the call up as i hurriedly put on my sweatshirt and sweatpan-ts. I alway made my hair in its usual and ran out of the house.
God finally answered my Prayers. The guy in the photo has finally being found. This was a step…a step to victory…a step ahead of Evans….a step to Josh. And yes, I’m going to beat Evans in his own game. *smirks.*
TBC.
