flops. “ Wait!” Ashton said.
“ Fuck you Ashton!” I screamed slamming the door behind me. I started to walk down the drive way, and I heard the door opening, and someone grabbed my arm turning me around. “ What do you want!” I screamed.
“ Gal, just… im sorry,” Ashton said shaking his head.
“ Ashton what the fuck!” I cried pointing towards the house. “ What was that? Why the heel would you treat your brother like that?”
“ You wouldn’t understand,” he said shaking his head. I threw my hands up in the air.
“ Fucking enlighten me!” I said pinching the bridge of my nose. Ashton shook his head. “ Why Ashton?” I cried.
“ because… You wouldn’t…. you wouldn’t understand!” He said raising his voice.
“ I can’t understand, because you’re not telling me anything!” I said also raising my voice. We stood their looking at one another. I shook my head, and turned away, and Ashton went to go grab for me again, but I drew my arm away. “ Don’t touch me,” I cried.
“ Please….” He cried.
“ Ashton!” I screamed at him.
“ I don’t get along with my brother, and I don’t want him near you,” he said wrapping his arms around me. I tried to struggle out of his grasp, but he wouldn’t let me go. “ Please, I love you,” he whispered against my temple. I sighed, and wrapped my arms around him.
“ Im gonna go,” I whispered.
“ Are you mad?” He asked. I pulled away from his grasp.
“ Im fucking pissed, but I forgive you. I am still pissed though. I can forgive, but I can’t forget the things you said, and the way you acted. Im gonna head home, and just relax,” I said turning away from him.
“ let me drive you home,” he said walking towards his car. I sat down in the passenger seat, and when we were driving off I saw Ron looking at me through the window, and his hand was clutching onto the curtain. I watched him until we turned off the street.
“ What did he ever do to you?” I asked after some time of silence.
“ He ruined my future,” He said and he didn’t say anything after that. I sat their looking at him, and when we pulled up front at Rickey’s I sat there, and got out of the car, and held the door open.
“ Relationship is based off of trust Ashton,” I whispered, and then closed the door, and walked towards the house. I got to the door, and when I turned around I saw Ashton sitting in the car gripping onto the steering wheel. I shook my head and opened the door, and closed it and fell to the ground with my knees up to my chest, and tears fell down my face. I stood up and grabbed a lamp, and threw it across the room, and it across the room, and it shattered on the wall and fell to the floor. I leaned up against the wall, and had tears rolled down my face. I heard someone knocking on the door, and I got up, and opened it and saw Ashton standing there.
“ gal,” He whispered. I went to close the door, but he pulled it open, and stepped inside. “ Gal,” he said again.
“ Ashton, what…. You don’t need to lie to me,” I said shaking my head.
“ I wasn’t… I swear to god Galaxy, Im not hiding anything!” He said wrapping his arms around me. I pulled him off of me, and opened the door.
“ just leave for now Ash,” I whispered. He walked out of the apartment, and stopped at the door looking down at me, and he shook his head and walked off to his car.
Im not a freaking idiot Ashton… I know your hiding something from me. I thought as he drove away. I closed the door, and walked into the front room, and flopped down onto the couch, and closed my eyes. I leaned back, and when I was about to take a nap my phone went off. I crawled off the couch, and picked my phone up off the floor, and flipped it open.
“ hello?” I said groggily.
“ Heyyy baby, what’s up?!” I heard Des’s cheerful voice. I sighed and leaned on the wall tilting my head back.
“ hey Dessy,” I said closing my eyes.
“ Hey listen… So my parents are out of town, and i want to go out, but I have to babysit my baby brother, and I don’t have a babysitter….” She trailed off.
“ You want me to babysit huh?” I laughed.
“ Um…. Could you?” She asked doubtfully.
“ of course. It’s not like I having anything better to do,” I sighed.
“ Oh thank you! Thank you!” She screamed into the phone. “ Okay so you think you can be here in like…. An hour and a half?” she asked.
“ of course. I’ll see you seen,” I replied.
“ Okay thanks much love byesss!” She sung. I laughed and hung up the phone. I walked over to my bag, and pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a black hoodie, and slipped on my converse. I sat back down on the couch, and laid back taking a deep breath. I heard the door opening and I looked over my shoulder and saw Ben and Rickey walking in.
“ Hey!” ben sung opening the fridge.
“ Hola,” I smiled.
“ What’s wrong?” Rickey asked plopping down next to me.
“ It’s nothing. You think that…. You can drive me to Des’s?”
“ Sure your hanging with her tonight?” ben asked sitting down on a chair.
“ Nope, im babysitting.”
“ What about Ashton?” Ben asked taking a sip of his drink.
“ What about him?” I muttered. Ben looked at me arching an eyebrow.
“ You got into a fight?” He asked. I shrugged my shoulders.
“ You could say that,” I sighed.
“ Why?” Rickey asked nudging my arm. I nudged his arm back.
“ Reasons of the unknown,” I laughed. Rickey rolled his eyes at me, and I got up and stretched out. “ Can one of you drop me off at Des’s house?” I asked walking into the kitchen.
“ I will!” ben sung jumping off the couch and running out the door. Rickey and I turned to one another, and I let out a laugh shaking my head.
“ Talk about being exited?” I laughed turning away and heading towards the door.
“ if you need a ride home just call me. be careful!” Rickey yelled.
“ Alright!” I smiled shutting the door. I walked outside, and it was kind of nice out. the air seemed to be more warm, and a nice breeze. I jumped into the car, and ben started the car and we were off. I looked at Ben and he seemed so damn happy. After about ten minutes I groaned. Ben turned towards me arching an eyebrow.
“ Something the matter?” he laughed.
“ Why are you so damn happy?” I said looking at him. A huge grin broke out onto his face.
“ I met someone,” he smiled.
“ SPILL!” I said nearly jumping out of my seat. He let out a laugh.
“ Last night when I went out, and there was this guy that I met at the restaurant, and we so hit it off… he was like perfect!” Ben smiled.
“ Are you guys going to go out again?” I asked. He nodded his head, and then shoved his hand in front of me. I sat back a little and looked at his palm.
“ he wrote his number on your palm?” I laughed. Ben nodded his head, and put his hand back on the wheel. I started to laugh, and ben gave me a confused look. “ It’s just like how it is in the movies! How the ‘girl’ gives the guy her number on his palm but this is like the gay version!” I laughed my eyes watering. Ben let out a laugh and shook his head.
“ Enough of me and my love life,” he laughed. I wiped my eyes, and brought my knees up and sat Indian style.
“ What do you mean?”
“ What’s going on with you and your nice piece of ass?” ben said looking over at me. I pointed towards the road.
“ One…. Keep eyes on road,” I stopped. “ And two… his name is Ashton!”

“ Blah. Blah. Blah!” He laughed. I rolled my eyes.
“ Where just having some trust issues,” I sighed.
“ why is that?”
“ I was at his house… and his brother came there. He was being so mean to his brother, and acted like a total jerk, and was being mean, and he won’t tell me the truth as to why,” I sighed.
“ Everything will work itself out,” Ben said pulling up to Des’s house. I sat there, and turned towards him.
“ Will it?” I asked. He nodded his head and smiled.
“ it will.” I sighed and opened the door.
“ Thanks for the ride,” I smiled.
“ Of course. Have fun!” He laughed. I closed the door, and waved him off. I started up to Des’s house, and knocked on the door. The door swung open, and their stood a little boy with blonde hair that was everywhere, and he had deep brown eyes, and about the age of seven.
“ Hello,” I smiled. His eyes widened and he slammed the door in my face. I stumbled back, and grabbed my nose. The door opened and Des stood their smiling.
“ Hey their!” She smiled. She grabbed my wrist, and pulled me inside. I stumbled in and stood their looking at the boy who just tried breaking my nose. “ Rigs,” Des laughed. Rigs stood their looking at me and smiled sheepishly. “ Galaxy this is my little brother Rigs.” Des smiled. Des knelt down next to Rigs. “ hey Rigs, this is Galaxy my friend. You can call her Gal. She is going to babysit you tonight. Would you like that?” Des asked cocking her head. Rigs looked at me, and then back at Des. He nodded his head. Des jumped up and clapped her hands together. “ GREAT!” She smiled. I let out a laugh, and des ran up her stairs, and Rigs turned towards me, and sent me a full out smile.
“ What are we gonna do when sissie gone?” he asked. I squatted down to his height.
“ Well… What do you want to do?” I asked.
“ Can we play basketball outside?” He jumped up and down.
“ Sure,” I smiled ruffling up his hair. He swatted my hand away from him, and I let out a laugh standing up. Des came running down the stairs, and she kissed Rigs on the forehead, and then gave me a quick side hug.
“ I’ll drop you off at home when I get back,” Des smiled. I nodded my head and she bolted out the door. I turned towards Rigs, and he gave me a sheepish smile.
“ Can we play basketball at Tony’s?” Rigs asked.
“ Who’s tony?” I said kneeling down.
“ he is my friend. He lives a couple doors down, and I always go their! PWEASE?!?” he cried throwing himself at me. I stumbled back and Rigs landed on top of me. he wrapped his arms around my waist and squeezed me hard.
“ OKAY!” I laughed trying to pry his arms off me. He jumped up off me, and ran to his shoes,
