(Ash POV)
So turns out Rachel did get kicked out so my dad offered for her to stay over our house until she can find a place on her own so she been over here since Sunday. I let her have my room while I slept in the room in the basement where we had an extra room, she tried to convince me to let her sleep down in the basement but I told her she had to take my room I also told her to lock her door at night just in case Jesse or Nathan tried something not that they would try after me and dad gave them a warning, she also told them she was gay much to their disappointed I laughed at them when their faces fell. Her father also took her car away from her so I have to drive her to school, which isnât a problem since she is living with me so it wasnât out my way or anything she said she would leave as soon as it was possible she said something about sheâs been saving money up in case something happened my dad offered to give her an office job with him but she refused it saying that she had one that paid her well enough which is true waiters make a lot of money especially if its an expensive restaurant like the one she work. I think my dad called up his friend from the restaurant and told him what happened and asked him to give her a raise of course the guys agrees they also told me not to tell her. Well this leads me to today I parked my car and Rachel got out earning stares at us I groaned theyy usually just saw me with Gabriel in my car, I donât usually take girls to school unless its Gabby or Aly I could already see the rumor circulating around us.
âHey Ash you can tell youâre friends what happened I donât want you to lose youâre chance with Gabriel over meâ She said I nodded thankful, I really didnât feel like explaining it to them but I would have to because by lunch time their bound to here something.
âThanks Rach Iâll see you laterâ I said she nodded and we went our separate ways I went in the class where I saw everyone talking I looked and Gabriel was sitting there lost in her thought I made my way to her sat down.
âGabby what wrongâ I asked snapping her out of her thoughts
âUm nothingâ She mumbled she looked so confused and lost right now I frowned at her Iâll ask her later about whatâs going on with her.
âAre you sure Gabbyâ I asked concerned she nodded and gave me a small smile before turning to the front as the teacher came in. Sheâs usually talkative in this class something must have happened over the weekend I didnât call her on Sunday because I was helping Rachel settle in but I did text although she never responded back to it. I glanced at her she was just taking notes as the teacher talked I sighed Iâm definitely going to talk to her later.
(Gabriel POV)
1st period I was zoned out Iâm so confused now the empty feeling in my stomach did not leave it was almost gone until I heard someone say that Ash and Rachel were together I also heard that they came to school together today too. Iâm guessing that it true because Ash hasnât denied it yet I was in the cafeteria sitting at the table with the other as both Ash and Rachel walked in laughing I felt something in my chest I turned away from them as Ash came over and sat down next to me she looked at me and I looked away from and started to eat my food as the girls and guys talked animatedly about the upcoming party Friday I donât think I wanted to go anymore.
âGabby please tell me what wrongâ Ash said quietly to me I looked at her and gave her a fake smile I cant tell her what wrong when I didnât know what was wrong with me myself.
âNothing Ash just thinking about stuffâ I said she frowned at me
âGabby you know you can tell me anything rightâ She said I nodded at her
âThere isnât anything to tell,â I mumbled as Alex spoke up
âAsh is it true,â He asked excitedly Ash looked at him confused
âIs what trueâ She asked he grinned at her
âThat you and Rachel are datingâ He said Ash sighed I stood up and left to throw my food away I didnât want to here the answer I walked slowly to the trashcan hoping that it would give them enough time to talk about it then drop it I threw my plate away and made it back to the table and sat down.
âOh so thatâs what you were doing this weekend you could have told usâ Aly said Ash nodded
âItâs wasnât up to me she said she comfortable with you guys knowing nowâ Ash said I guess the rumors were true, I should have stayed at the trashcan a little while longer.
Ash was looking at me frowning while the others went back to there conversations she grabbed me by my arm and tugged me up the others gave us a strange look as she pulled me out the cafeteria.
âAsh stop pulling meâ I whined she let go of my arm and turned to me still frowning
âGabby please tell me whatâs wrong and donât say it nothing I know something is wrongâ She said I looked at her there isnât anything wrong just something wrong with me.
âNo Ash I promise there isnât anything wrongâ I said she nodded
âYou know you can tell me anything rightâ She said looking me in the eyes softly I nodded and she gave me a soft smile before we went back in the cafeteria and sat back down ignoring the others as they looked at us questionably.
âAsh did you get a costume yetâ Samantha asked Ash groaned I smiled a little bit completely like her to forget something like that.
âNo I forgotâ She said I shook my head.
âI brought one for youâ I mumbled sheâs not going to like what I brought she looked at me and smiled.
âCan I see them after schoolâ She asked I nodded while the girls laughed and grinned they knew what I brought in fact they helped me picked it out. Ash looked at them not understanding why they were laughing.
âWhat so funnyâ She asked
âNothingâ they all said in unison laughing again Ash turned to me with her eyebrow raised I shrugged my shoulders as the bell rang.
(Ash POV)
Itâs the end of the day and Iâm heading over to Gabrielâs house I hope she doesnât mind me bringing Rachel over I canât just drop here off at my house and leave her by herself I got in my car with Rachel and headed to Gabrielâs house Gabriel left a little bit ahead of me because Rachel had to stay behind to talk to a teacher. I pulled into Gabrielâs drive way and parked the car.
âAre you sure sheâs cool with me coming overâ Rachel asked
âIâm sure sheâll be fine with it weâre not staying long anywayâ I said she nodded and we got out the I knocked on the door and Gabriel opened the door smiling at me but it quickly drop when she saw Rachel behind me I frowned.
âHey Gabby you donât mind me bringing Rach with me do youâ I asked I didnât want her to feel uncomfortable with someone she didnât really know in her house.
âItâs fine Ash just go in the living room Iâll just run upstairs and get it for youâ She said smiling softly at me but I didnât reach her eyes like it usually did I nodded and led Rachel to the living room while Gabriel went upstairs there is something she isnât telling me I ran my hand through my hair frustrated.
âAsh did you tell herâ Rachel asked I nodded
âYeah I believe I did,â I said I pretty sure she knew what we were talking about in the cafeteria.
âAre you sureâ she asked I nodded at her
âAnd she okay with me staying with you and everythingâ she asked again.
âYes Rachel why wouldnât she be she know everything that happenedâ I said just as Gabriel walked in with the costume I walked up to her and smiled as she handed it to me.
âYou can try it on if you wantâ She said I nodded and went to the bathroom.
(Gabriel POV)
âAnd sheâs okay with me staying with you and everythingâ Rachel said as I was about to walk into the living room I stopped and listened she living with her now I frowned at that.
âYes Rachel why wouldnât she be she knows everything that happenedâ Ash said I didnât want to go in there but I had to I took a deep breath and walked in Ash stood up and smiled at as I gave her the costume.
âYou can try it on if you wantâ I said she nodded and went to the bathroom leaving me with Rachel I sat down not saying anything.
âGabriel are you ok with everythingâ She asked how can I not be okay if Ash is happy then I donât have any say in it.
âYes itâs okâ I said softly giving he a fake smile why was she asking for my approval
âOk I just wanted to hear it from youâ She said smiling I nodded
âGabby come hereâ Ash yelled I laughed a little and went to the bathroom Ash was in there looking at the out she had on frowning.
âDid the girls help you pick it out I canât wear thisâ She asked frowning at it
âYea sort of and you have to wear it, it matches my costume unless you donât want to matchâ I said she was still frowning at the costume
â Really so youâre going to wear something similar to thisâ She asked with her eyebrows raised I nodded my head she sighed
âFine Iâll wear itâ she said defeated I smiled and left the bathroom so she could change back I went back in the living room where Rachel was looking at the family pictures we had around.
âIs this youâre sisterâ She asked pointing to Kenzie at her 3rd birthday covered in cake.
âYeah her 3rd birthdayâ She nodded and put the frame back down Ash came back and thanked me.
âWell Gabby Iâll see you laterâ She said as I walked them to the door I nodded and ruffled my hair and kissed me on the cheek smiling at me as I frowned at her she laughed and left taking Rachel with her. I sighed and went upstairs Iâm so lost right now maybe itâs the fact that I think Iâm losing one of my closest friend I went to bed not bothering to eat dinner.
(A/N so Iâm just going to skip to the Halloween scene now)
(Ash POV) Most costumes on in the slide show on the side Gabs costume has a link  http://www.partycity.com/product/adullt+little+red+riding+hood+costume+deluxe.do?sortby=ourPicks&pp=60&size=all&navSet=178782
or you can click open external link on the side
(A/n Ash out is similar to the one on the side but without the cross and the claw thing yes I know it looks like a cat but just picture it with wolf ears and a long wolf tale also the outfit is black leather)
I donât know what going on with Gabriel sheâs been distant or in her own little world for the last few day sometimes she would zone back in and give me a soft smile when I looked at her but other than that she seemed like she was trying to figure something out. Its finally Friday and school went passed fast so me and Rachel are getting ready she going with some guy that asked her awhile ago I put on my outfit which consisted of tight leather pants with silver chains hanging from the front side connecting to the back I put on the leather top it was kind of a half top with a silver zipper and buckle on it next was the black sleeves that went past my elbow they also had a buckle on it I had Rachel connect my wolf tail, I went into the bathroom and put on the wolf ear and teeth followed by the leather silver spiked collar with a silver hoop in the front for the leash that Gabriel would give me when I get to her house I looked at me myself and grimaced yes I looked good in the outfit with all my best feature showing but it was kind of embarrassing I stepped out the bathroom. Only to see a Flash go off I groaned and saw my whole family standing there laughing at me I grumbled under my breath.
âWhereâs Rachelâ I asked
âShe left already with the guyâ Jesse said still laughing at me
âOh man Ash you look so funny right now this is definitely going on facebookâ He said snapping another photo I glared at him and snatched his phone out of his hand and deleted the picture before throwing his phone on the floor.
âSo whereâs your dateâ Sarah asked taking another picture
âIâm picking her up right now byeâ I said moving past the door I ran downstairs and out the door.
âYou should bring her over I want to see her costumeâ Sarah yelled from the window I waved and hopped in my car and drove to Gabrielâs house when I reached her house only one light was on and that was the downstairs light I guess sheâs ready I knocked on her door god this leather is irritating I canât wait to see her costume. Gabriel opened the door grinning I looked at her she had a Little Riding hood costume on it was a red and black corset stop with ribbon lace up front it had a matching puff sleeve balero jacket, she also had on a red and black checkered mini shirt with a black lace lining a red hooded cape and a red bow hair piece in her drop curled blonde hair. I looked down at her she had on black sheer thigh high stocking and black pumps on all in all she looked hot or sexy I donât know but she definitely looked good tonight. (A/n Here is the link to her costume http://www.partycity.com/product/adullt+little+red+riding+hood+costume+deluxe.do?sortby=ourPicks&pp=60&size=all&navSet=178782 )
âWowâ I whispered still eyeing her body
âAsh please stop staring,â She said frowning I closed my mouth and looked her in her face trying to stop my eyes from trailing down her body.
âSorry you readyâ I asked coughing lightly
âOh no I forgot the basket and your leashâ She mumbled and turned away I looked at her retreating form damn the skirt was short and I just saw the red bows she had on the back of her stockings, she was definitely going to turn heads at the party. She came back quickly with her with a silver chained leash and her basket.
We got in the car and drove off I looked at her she seemed like whatever was on her mind this past week was completely gone and erased from her memory I smiled but frowned when I looked at my costume and herâs.
âGabby you said my costume would look the same as yoursâ I said she let out a light laugh that I hadnât heard all week.
âI said it would correspond with mines Iâm red and youâre the wolf duhhâ She said rolling her eyes I frowned Gabby is so lucky that I like her or I would have turned around and went home.
âLets go partyâ Gabriel said once we pulled up to the school where the party was held in the gym. We got out the car and Gabriel connected the leash to the silver ring on my collar before she took hold of it the leash and walked to the gym.
(Gabriel POV)
I decided to forget about everything tonight and just have fun Iâm tired of being confused so I stored everything in a box in the back of my head.
Ash looked good in her costume I brought her it showed off her six pack like I wanted it to I personally thought the costume looked cute on her it gave her a little edge I was now walking with her to the entrance of the gym the her on the leash that I had in my hand I could hear the music blasting in the gym as we opened the door we were immediately greeted by crowd of teenagers in various costumes dancing to the monster mash.
âDo you see the others Gabbyâ Ash yelled over the music I shook my head and pulled her through the crowd until we were where the tables were.
âThere they areâ Ash said pointing to them they were crowded in a corner talking we walking over to them
âHey guysâ I said taking them all in Matt was of course a football player and amber was a cheerleader, Aly was cop and Sean was a prisoner, Jenna, her being her was lady gaga and Tristan was Lady gaga dressed as a man I looked at him with my head cocked to the side before I looked at who Iâm assuming was Alex he was the robot from the Lmfao video Im sexy and I know it he also didnât have any clothes on except for a very small speedo. I didnât see Samantha anywhere or Tyler I guess Iâll see them later.
âYou guys looks so cuteâ Aly said ash groaned and I smiled
âYes Gabriel you look sexyâ Jenna said winking at me I laughed at her
âDude is she holding you by a leashâ Alex said taking his robot head off and laughing at Ash, Ash glared at him and walked up to him but I pulled the leash causing Alex to laugh even more Ash looked at me and frown I laughed nervously.
âSorry wasnât thinkingâ I said she stop frowning and turned away from me.
âAsh listen to youâre ownerâ Alex said we all turned to Alex and glared at him
âIâm just playingâ he mumbled and walked off. We all went our separate ways and started mingling with other people we knew we were talking to some guys from the basketball team when Ash looked up at me and grinned I looked at her confused before she excused us.
âGabby lets dance this is my songâ Ash said pulling me to the dance floor it was thriller by Michael Jackson I laughed as she started doing the dance I soon joined in with her even though I didnât know the dance I still had fun dancing with her we dance to a couple more songs before we finally decided to take a break she led me over to and empty table and told me she would be back with some drinks. It been almost 3 hours since we got here and the party is still a blast. A zombie character sat down next to me.
âHey Gabrielâ I t said I looked at him confused.
âIts me Tylerâ He said laughing ohhh
âHey Tyler you enjoying the partyâ I asked he nodded
âYup I having a blastâ He said tapping his foot to the beat of the song playing
âWanna danceâ he asked I looked up for Ash she was talking to Rachel who was dressed as a fairy I frowned.
âYea only one songâ He nodded and pulled me to the crowded dance floor just as the party rock anthem came on I loved this song so much we started dancing when a though came to my mind.
âTyler donât you have a dateâ I yelled over the music as we dance he shook his head.
âNo I came by myselfâ He said shuffling on the part, I laughed at his attempt
âWhy didnât you asked someoneâ I asked as I calmed down
âThe person I wanted to ask was already takenâ Now Iâm curious
âWho was itâ I asked he looked around as if he didnât want to say it I opened my mouth to tell him that he didnât have to tell me but he started talking.
âYouâ He said I looked at him shocked
âWhy didnât you asked me earlier I would have said yesâ I said he smiled
âI would have but you were off limits and when I finally had the nerve to ask you Ash asked you alreadyâ He as the song ended and another one came on off limits what did he mean by that I stopped dancing and looked at him confused he started to explain.
âYour friend Ash told everyone not to ask you to the danceâ He said in a duhh tone I frowned she cant do that to me did she not know how I felt when no one asked me to the dance it was her fault I turned and left the dance floor looking for Ash I found her in the same place still talking to Rachel I walked over to her fuming.
âAshley Hughes Davisâ I yelled at her she looked at me and frowned before her face turned to confusion.
âWhatâs wrong Gabbyâ She asked I glared at her
âWhats wrong, Whats wrongâ I yelled, I grabbed her by her leash and pulled her outside with her grunting. When we were outside behind the gym building I let loose
âWhy did you tell people not to ask me to the danceâ I asked fuming she looked at me with wide eyes
(Ash POV)
I was hanging with Rachel since Gabby disappeared awhile ago we were laughing at something when I heard my full name being yelled at me I gulp only one person in this school knew my full name and that was Gabby I turned to the voice it was Gabby she looked pissed off no she looked beyond pissed I looked at her and frowned in confusion I didnât do anything well I donât think I did.
âWhat wrong Gabbyâ I asked she glared her daggers at me
âWhats wrong whats wrongâ She yelled angrily before she grabbed my leash and pulled me to the side exits and out the building ouch this hurts I think I just got leather burn.
Once we were out side looked at me and narrowed her eyes.
âWhy did you tell people not to ask me to the danceâ she said through clenched teeth I looked at her shocked how the hell did she find out I didnât know what to say.
âWho told youâ I asked she looked at me and said Tyler that bastard of course he would tell her.
âNow Answer me Ashâ She said
âI donât knowâ I looked up at her she was still glaring at me
âWhat do you mean you donât know do you know what I was thinking the whole time I thought there was something wrong with me, everyone left and right were getting asked to the dance and not a single person glanced or batted their eye at me, while everyone was talking about their dates I didnât have one not one person approached meâ She yelled she looked super pissed I looked down I didnât know it effected that bad I wanted to tell that there could never be anything wrong with her because she was perfect.
âGabby I was just protecting from the guys who are just trying to get in your pantsâ I mumbled looking at her she still looked mad.
âAsh not every guy is tryingâ she yelled I frowned
âTyler isâ I said back she came up to me and slapped me across my face.
âLike youâre any different Ash you go through girls like underwear, and Tyler was the only guy in there that had the balls to tell me that they wanted to go to the dance with me unlike you who just asked because you knew no one was going to ask meâ She said I held my face and looked at her hurt.
âGabby Iâm sorry I just didnât want you hanging out with any those man whores like himâ I said she looked at me.
âWhy Ash you get to hang out with Rachel all the time, I donât tell her to stay away do Iâ She asked frowning and crossing her arms
âGabby that isnât the sameâ I said
âHow isnât it the same Ashâ She asked I sighed and ran my finger through my hair.
âBecause I donât want her those guys wants you,â I said she frowned again
âAsh Iâm not stupid I can take care of myself and Iâm tired of you lying to me I saw both of you the other day when you were supposed to be at youâre business dinner She mumbled I looked at her oh god she must have seen the kiss.
âGabriel nothing happened with us I told you there isnât anything going onâ I said she looked up at me anger was in her eyes again.
â Ash just stop lying I know everything okay and you know what have just fun with her, I going to hang out with Tylerâ She said walking towards the door no I canât let that happened I grabbed her by her forearm and spun her around to me and pushed her against the wall she looked at me with anger clearly written on her face.
âAsh let go of meâ I shook my head and looked into her eyes
âI canât let you go Gabbyâ I whispered before I kissed her.
(A/n I was going to end it here but I thought what the hell I mines well put it up anyway continue)
(Gabriel POV)
I headed to the door Iâm tired of fussing, right now I just want to have fun I felt her hand on my forearm as she spun me around and pushed me against the brick wall.
âAsh let me goâ I said angrily she looked me in the eyes softly
âI canât let you go Gabbyâ she whispered she leaned in and kissed, My eyes grew wide I didnât know what to do I was shocked Ash was kissing me and I like it all my thoughts went away and my mind went blank. I closed my eyes as my mouth started to move with hers you know that electric feeling youâre supposed to get when youâre with youâre soul mate I was feeling that right now. She nibbled on my lip as I felt her tongue cross over my lip sensuously asking for entrance I automatically granted her access I felt her tongue glide gracefully into my mouth she tasted like Winter fresh she pushed me her body up against mines making me push harder into the brick wall, I heard a moan as she sucked and played with my tongue I think that was me I was running out of breath as we attacked each others mouth I think she was to because she pulled back and rest her forehead on mines, my eyes were still closed, we were both breathing heavy. I opened my eyes and looked at her she was staring me straight in my eyes.
âI like you Gabby hell I think I might even actually love youâ She said staring at me waiting for my reaction, her words just processed through my head Ash likes me or loves me then I thought about what Samantha said then what I saw then I realized something I just made out with a girl who just happens to be my best friend I didnât know what to say so I did the next best thing that came to my mind I pushed her away slightly she looked at me hurt.
âIâm sorry Ash but but I ccanâtâ I stuttered with tears forming in my eyes she canât say that to me when sheâs playing house with Rachel I turned and ran inside the building as I heard her call my name I ran past my friends they looked worried I shook my head at them and kept going till I was in the parking lot I was crying I donât even know why I was crying.
âGabrielâ I heard Samantha voice from behind she ran up to me out of breath.
âAre you okayâ She asked I shook my head as she guided me to her car she turned it on and we pulled out the parking lot.
âWhat happened,â She asked concerned looking over at me.
âAsh kissed meâ I said quietly I could tell she was shocked because she pulled over on the side of the road and turned to.
âAndâ She said telling me to continue
âI kissed her back but then when we pulled back she told me she likes me then I kind of pushed her away and ran away what am I supposed to do now I donât know anything Iâm so confused right nowâ I asked sadly she looked at me and gave me a soft smile.
âWell do you like herâ She asked me did I like her
âYes, No I donât know like I told you before she was there for me and protected me when she didnât have to and if I did like could I trust her or anything â I said she nodded I guess Iâm going to have to tell her about what happen.
âStart from the beginning and I want know everythingâ she said I told her from beginning and I meant the beginning from the incident with Declan to the beach to the day at the diner and everything that happened at the party. She listened carefully and didnât interrupt she only nodded her head a few times when I finished we sat in silence for a few seconds.
âFrom what you told I think sheâs actually does like you Gabriel, she has changed a lot since she met you she hasnât messed with one girl since you guys became friends and if you knew her before this you would know that she had a different girl every week â She said I nodded
âBut what about Rachel their dating arenât they I saw them kissing at the dinerâ I mumbled Samantha sighed Iâm still confused my parents would probably kill me if they found out that I kissed a girl or liked a girl period
âI donât know youâre going to have to ask her and if youâre confused because sheâs a girl think about it like this if she was a guy would you date her if that answer is yes then stop worrying about whether its right or wrong and just go with her do what youâre heart wants and what you feel is rightâ She pulled from off of the side of the road and started to take me home we didnât speak the rest of the ride I was lost in my thoughts about how I felt she pulled up at my house and I got out the car.
âThanks Samanthaâ I said she nodded and pulled off my parents were home today I walked in the house everyone was probably sleeping I went straight to my room and took off my costume before laying in bed thinking why she have to make things so complicated.
(Ash POV)
Iâm so stupid I punched the wall repeatedly I donât know how long Iâve been out here punching the wall but I kept at it until I couldnât feel my hands I slumped against the was and slid down to the ground. Iâm such an idiot of course she wouldnât like me I shouldnât have kissed her even though it was the best kiss of my life. It tore me up when she looked at me and told me she couldnât and ran away now what am I supposed to do I just lost the first girl I actually liked and my best friend I groaned and slammed my fist into the ground it was getting chilly outside.
âYou know slamming and punching the wall is not going to helpâ a voice said I turned to it, it was Tristan he was leaning on the wall looking at me.
âLeave me aloneâ I mumbled to him I wasnât in the mood for it I just wanted to go back in time so I can fix this I rather have her as my friend then not all I always mess up everything.
âGive her time Ash this is new to her itâs probably hard for her to accept things that she canât yet comprehendâ He said I looked at him he was still in is lady gaga costume (A/N The one where she dressed like a man) this is the most I heard him talk, hell I donât think I ever heard him talk.
I sighed and ran my hands through my hair as he went back in side it was starting to rain and I think the party was almost over I stood up and walked around the school until I got to my car, I got in my car and went home when I got home it was still raining I didnât bother running to the door I didnât want to I didnât even go inside I just sat there listening to the rain pound down around me. I think I was out her for awhile because Sarah came out and told me to come in I didnât say anything I just stood up and went to my room I was drenched like a puppy I laughed slightly at irony then I remember I was now a dog without its owner.
