when i woke up i was in the room alone. hayley was gone and so was my mom. i figured they went downstairs for breakfast and laid back down, there was a big day ahead and i just wanted five more minutes of sleep.
as soon as my head hit the pillow there was a knock on the door. when i tell you it took everything in me to find the energy to get up and open that door-
anyway i got up to answer it, i figured it was asher and i really wasn't in the mood for talking to him.
i looked through the peephole and i was right, "asher. i really don't feel like talking."
"annie you just have to let me explain myself." he said. it sounded like he was about to cry.
i heard his body go down.

i sat down with my back facing the door and waited for her to respond to me. i felt a tear coming down my face.
it sounded like she was doing the same, as i felt a small weight go against the door. i put my hand under the door.

when i sat down and put my back against the door, i saw his hand go under the door.
i thought about it for a second but i put my hand above his. then i placed my hand on top of his. i closed my eyes and was reminded of the first time i had ever touched him.
suddenly he spoke, "i know i say this, obviously as i'm talking but we don't have to talk. we can just sit here and not talk?"
i wanted to cry but it's all i've been doing lately.

she put her hand on mine. i took this as a sign that we were getting somewhere so i spoke, "i know i say this, obviously as i'm talking but we don't have to talk. we can just sit here and not talk?"
with my free hand, i pulled out my phone from my pocket and opened up our messages.
asher
remember the first time we touched?
i was so nervous
annie
i remember it like it was yesterday..
asher
we were so good together.
annie
yea we were
asher
everything was so much better when we were pretending.
annie
maybe they were, but you still cheated on me.
i felt her slowly letting go of my hand. trying to make her stop i typed as fast as i could, not wanting to scare her off with my voice.
asher
wait but that's what i wanted to talk to you about, i didn't.
annie, i was set up. jayden set me up.
she completely let go of my hand and i heard her get up.
then i hear her almost yell, "wow asher, i cant believe you're just gonna lie like that."
standing up i tried to defend myself, "but im not!"
"just go." was all she said.
"annie can't we just-" i started to say before she cut me off, "go!" she said sternly.
i took the hint and started to walk back to the room. there was nothing i could do. jayden won.
a.n. if you didn't listen to the song while reading it probably wasn't as sad.. js..
also can we just talk about how seriously underrated some artists are and it truly irritates me. like gabrielle aplin, daughter, M83, novo amor, aurora, LENNON STELLA, night beds- especially that song 'faithful heights' they made.
anyways i had an initial ending to this but im changing it and making it longer. BUT I PROMISE ITLL BE BETTER THAN WHAT I HAD BEFORE I PROMISE.
what if i made the ending sad. what if i killed one of them or uh made annie gay or uh just made asher fall in love with someone at the wedding. i would be pretty mean wouldn't i?
im kidding..
or am i?
nope i am. just testing to see who actually reads these.. ill go now and stop messing with your heads.
