ASHTON
[I could never hate you, Dee-Will]
Why did I send her that? Shit. I wasn't thinking straight. I can't have Demi thinking we can ever be a thing. I promised Ashley to stay away. Sighing, I try to chuck my phone into my bedside drawer when another message beeps in. I know it's from Dee and I probably shouldn't continue chatting with her. But I am so curious to know what's been going on in her mind ever since I went cold turkey on her. Hence, I check the message.
[Thank you. I thought I lost you.]
I clench my fist and grit my teeth at the crying emoji that pops in after the message. Has she truly been crying? I haven't really been paying attention to her especially when we are in the same room. I get barely a second to skim my eyes over her face without setting off any warning bells in Ashley's head.
