Ashley's Pov
I walk towards the school cafeteria as it is the place I'm supposed to meet Tyler.
Once I've stepped in, my eyes immediately meet his as though he is the only one in the room.
Weirdly, my stomach doesn't do that flip it normally does when I see him.
I ignore it as I flash a big smile to him and walk over.
"Heyy," He smiles.
"Hi.." I say shyly.
"Ugh this is so fucked up, I'm in love with my best friends ex."
My eyes widen.
I definitely did not expect that.
"Wha- he told you?" I ask confused.
"Yeah, he told me last night."
"Yeah, well I broke up with him for you, Tyler. I'm in love with you and I'm sorry it took me so long to confess," I say practically forcing the words out at this point.
A bright smile takes over his face.
"Me too, Ash." He says.
Damn.
That's it?
I look at him awkwardly before he finally takes the hint and speaks.
"So.. would you like to me my girlfriend?" He asks.
The awkwardness could choke me.
"Yeah," I smile.
He pulls me into a hug then kisses me.
I give him one last smile before speaking.
"Um I'll see you later, I have to go to class right now, I've already missed alot."
He nods and I walk off.

It is now lunch time and Aaron still isn't in.
I texted him earlier to ask where he was but he still hasn't seen it.
I spot Tyler with his friends at our usual table and walk towards them.
"Hey babe," Tyler pecks me as I sit down.
I mentally cringe at the nickname but force a smile out.
God why is this so hard?
"Damnn, from one best friend to another?" A guy teases.
I roll my eyes at him flipping him off.
If only they knew.
The cafeteria doors screech open and he walks in.
My eyes immediately shift to his blue ones.
Gosh why is he breathtaking in every way.
Tyler shifts uncomfortably besides me and clears his throat.
I'm about to get up and walk towards him before remembering I am Tylers girlfriend now, not Aaron's.
I give him a small wave and he looks like he is almost fighting the urge to look away from me.
He gives me a small smile and I turn back around, continuing with my meal.
"Ash, you are my girlfriend now. You can't be friends with him anymore, he is your ex." Tyler says with an annoyed look on his face.
The fuck?
"Ty, you may be my boyfriend, yes, but you can't control who I can and who I can't be friends with," I say calmly, not wanting to create a scene.
"I'm your fucking boyfriend, I have every right to. Specially when he is your ex." He fights back.
I'm getting the urge to throw some water at his face.
This, is the side of his I don't like.
"Oh yeah? Then you can't be friends with Melissa," I say.
"No the fuck? You can't do that."
"She's your ex too, isn't she?" I smirk.
"Ugh fine," He says.
"Ok no. You will not talk to me like this Tyler. I'm not Melissa. I will not put up with bullshit like this. Either you talk to me with respect and like I'm your girlfriend or don't talk to me at all." I say before getting up and leaving.
I look around the cafeteria one more time and notice Aaron isn't here so I go to the one place I'm sure he would be.
Once I've reached the back of school, where all smokers are, I immediately see him and walk towards him.
"Hey.." I say.
"Ashley, what are you doing here?" He asks with a sigh.
"Um, me and Ty just had a fight.." I say.
"Already? About what?" He asks.
"Well.. he told me not to be friends with you and I refused. Plus he talks to me like he owns me."
"Wha- you fought with him, for me?" He asks.
"Yes. Is that a problem?"
"Ofcourse it is Ashley, you have liked him your whole life, don't lose it all because you wanna be friends with me. Hell, this whole situation is messed up so being friends with me is the last thing you should think about," He says.
Damn.
"What do you mea-"
"Do you know, how bad it looks for you, that you went from one best friend to another, and then you stayed friends with your ex? Bad! Extremely bad."
"Oh, I didn't look at it that wa-"
"Of course you didn't," He cuts me off.
I sigh before looking down and walking away.
He calls out for me but this time I don't look back.
I just walk, where to? I have no idea.
Maybe to work, maybe to the so called home I have but not back to school.
No, not school.
My day has already been ruined and I don't wanna go around with everyone giving me dirty looks.
Aaron is right, but my heart says the opposite.
This whole day sucks. This whole day will suck. I will have to go back home.
I don't know why it's so hard to be with Tyler. It's what I've always wanted.
And I don't know why it's so hard to stay away from Aaron.
He isn't what I've always wanted.
Yet here I am, my mind fighting my confused heart.
No. Aaron is just a friend.
Tyler is more then that.
I have to choose Tyler.
Because at the end of the day?
It's what I've always wanted.
