“No I won’t keep my voice down I don’t care who hears me. I wanna know what the hell is going on in that head of yours. It’s been so hot and cold with you lately and I’m sick of it.  I’m tired of having to walk on egg shells around you.” Said Aiden in a voice that showed he was both fed up and concerned.

“What do you want me to tell you Aiden? Huh? Do you want me to tell you I’m not happy? Is that it? Do you want me to tell you I hate the situation I’m in? That I can’t sleep at night because all I can think about is the mistakes I’ve made this year! I’m sick of it to Aiden, I’m sick of all this pretending; I’m so tired of it all. Is that what you wanted? Are you satisfied now?” replied Ashley with so much emotion. She was on the verge of tears; she however held them in, in the hopes of preparing herself for what was to come out next. What she knew she deserved.

“Mistakes? Is that what you think this is? I don’t want your pity ash. You think I like seeing you like this. I wish I could be what you want, the one person that makes you happy. God…I tried so damn hard to make this work. You really had me going here Ash; you really had me thinking this was what you wanted. Guess I’m still the same dumbass as always. Only difference now is that you’re not the same person you were. I’m not who you want so just say it. End it Ashley isn’t that what you’ve wanted from the start?” questioned Aiden with anger and hurt in his voice.

Silence filled every inch that separated them. Ashley couldn’t come up with an answer for him. Nothing sounded right. It all sounded too harsh or too useless. So she remained quiet. She decided against speaking.

“Well at least we finally have some honesty. And I’ve managed to silence Ashley Davies. Two firsts. I’m done Ash; I’m done trying to be the one you want. You could go do whatever or who ever you want. You’re free I’m sick of all this crap. I’m sick of all this pretending and pushing me away. Do whatever the hell makes you happy” he finished as he handed Ashley her books and walked into the small crowed that had begun to form.
