(un)lucky Number thirteen by Missy (reading a book .txt) 📕

he is really pissing me off,” I muttered. I clenched my jaw remembering some of the shit that he has pulled.
“ What did he do?”
“ its… its nothing…” I laughed.
“ how long have you known Zane?”
“ About six and half years.”
“ Wow Galaxy that’s a long freaking time…!”
I let out a little laugh and nodded my head.
“ Where… where really close,” I smiled. Even though he really pissed me off Zane has always been there for me. I love the kid.
“ What about you Ashton? Do you have a “best friend”?”
Ashton thought about it for a couple of second, and put his elbows on the table.
“ Well I guess you would say Kale.”
“ How long have you known Kale?”
“ Since freshman year. We met from the football team.”
I nodded my head and we sat there for a couple of minutes in silence. I looked up at Ashton who was just looking at me. I looked back down and all over the shop and then I looked back at Ashton.
“ Are you trying to burn a whole in my head?” I laughed. Ashton just blushed! He put his head down and let out a little chuckle. “ Awe Ashton you blushed,” I giggled. Ashton’s head shot back up.
“ I did not!” He growled.
“ Note to self, Ashton blushes,” I smiled at him, and he just shook his head at me and laughed. We sat there and finished our drinks. I really didn’t know what to talk about. I have never talked to Ashton without getting into a fight with him. We talked about favorite animals, color, foods, and all of the basics. I looked out the window and it was already dark outside.
“ Wow,” I said. Ashton looked at me.
“ What is it?” He laughed.
“ it got late,” I mumbled.
“ Well we have been here for about three hours,” he smiled. My mouth nearly hit the floor.
“ Im sorry… did you have plans today?” I asked. He shook his head.
“ you want to go to the park?” he asked.
“ The- p- park?” I uttered. He nodded his head. I looked at him confused.
“ Ah what the hell,” I laughed and got up. We walked down the street to the park. I loved it. There was a field surrounded by trees and there was a hill where you could see the stars perfectly. Ashton made his way up the hill and I hesitantly stood there watching him. He turned around and let out a laugh.
“ I don’t bight,” He smiled. I let a smile spread across my face, and I walked up the hill. I stood there looking into the sky when I felt someone wrap their arms around my waist, and then Ashton pulled me to sit down next to him.
“ Hey,” I smacked his arm. He smiled, and nudged me back. We sat their looking up at the skies, and then I heard Ashton sigh, and he fell back onto the grass, and put his arms behind his neck. I turned my back to look at him, and he then looked at me. he did a little smile, and patted the spot next to him. I fell back, and laid their next to him.
“ Hey Gal,” He whispered.
“ Hm?”
“ How come you hate me?” He asked. I laid their looking at the sky, and I let out a little laugh.
“ What’s so funny?” he turned over to look at me. I put my hands behind my neck and continued to look at the sky.
“ I guess I wasn’t expecting a question like that,” I said looking at the stars.
“ Well I mean you do. You have hated me since the first day I have come here,” he said. I turned my head and looked at him.
“ Because since day one you have been acting like girls are books and you can just check them out, and return them when you’re done,” I said bitterly. His eyes widened a little.
“ That’s not how it is Galaxy,” he whispered. I sighed and turned my whole body to him laying on my side.
“ Enlighten me Ashton…”
“ Well.. ugh- I…”
I interrupted him, and put my finger to his lips, and sat up. I reached for my phone, and put it in my pocket, and got up and padded my pants to get the grass off. Ashton jumped up and stood in front of me.
“ Ashton please…” I mumbled.
“ But those girls were not you,” He said. I looked him straight in the eyes.
“ But those girls are human being who have hearts and feelings. Those girls go home to their parents worrying about them and wondering what is wrong. Those girls who have little siblings who are disappointed in themselves for sleeping with you, and they don’t want their little brother or sister to grow up the way they did. Those girls have a family, feelings, and hearts,” I said coldly.
“ But I never hurt you,” he said grabbing my arm.
“ because I am not going to be stupid enough to let you,” I hissed, and walked away from him. He stood their staring at me. I walked past his car, and stood there for a second.
“ Aghh damnit! I got to walk home!” I pouted. I started to walk, and let my head hang. It was dark out know. I heard a car next to me, and I turned to see Ashton in his car.
“ Galaxy let me drive you home,” he said.
“ Screw you Ashton,” I stomped my foot.
“ Galaxy….” He muttered.
“ Ugh when I hear my name come out your mouth it sounds like venom!” I hissed. He sat in his car and I continued to walk. He continued to follow me, and I felt my rage begin to build. I stopped next to a house, and picked up a rock.
“ Know you hear me out Ashton! If you don’t get the fuck out of here then I am going to throw this rock at your window! So help me god,” I said while raising my arm. His face tightened.
“ You wouldn’t,” He smiled. I shook my head, and shot my arm forwards releasing the rock, and it smashed against the back window, and shattered. Ashton sat their starring at the window, and then he got out of his car, and walked towards me. he looked completely utterly pissed. I took a step back, and then Ashton grabbed my arm and brought me closer to him.
“ Are you crazy!” he shouted at me. His grip on my arm tightened and I shuttered from the pain. His face was bright red, and I stood their shutting my eyes. He grabbed my arm tighter and shook me. I bit my lip, and pushed him off, and ran off down the street with tears filled in my eyes. I continued to run until I was at the front of the steps panting, and tears running down my face. I walked in the house, and ran up to my room, and shut the door.
I leaned against my door, and continued to cry. I brought my knees up to my chest, and slowly drifted into a dream.
Chapter four-
I felt vibration on my leg, and I fluttered my eyes open, and looked around my floor, and dug into my pocket for my phone. I flipped it open.
“ Hello?” my voice sounded groggy.
“ Hey Galaxy! Ick you sound horrible,” Des laughed. I sighed and leaned back and rested my head on my door. I stretched out my leg, and I was so sore from sleeping on the floor.
“ Well I have been better,” I mumbled into the phone trying to pull myself up.
“ So what are you doing today?” She giggled. I looked at the clock and it read eight in the morning.
“ Des I seriously think you have a disorder. You woke up this early on a Sunday?” I groaned falling onto my bed.
“ Well im not going to waste my day away sleeping, unlike some people!” She sung into the phone. I held the phone away and pinched the bridge of my nose.
“ Des please it’s too early to be this awake,” I yawned.
“ So what are we doing today?”
“ Des honestly I am just going to stay in bed today,” I whispered.
“ You’re kidding me right!” She barked. I remembered everything from last night and felt tears in my eyes.
“ Please des… just not today,” I croaked. She was quite for a couple of seconds and I heard her breathing.
“ Alright Gal, call me later before you go to sleep and if you need me just give me a call or text and I’ll be there for you. I’ll see you tomorrow gal,” She said.
I smiled and nodded my head.
“ Thanks Des. Love you,” I mumbled.
“ Love you too,” She said, and then hung up. I held the phone against my ear, and then I flipped it closed and threw it on my bed next to me and fell into my blankets. I heard a knock on my door, but I didn’t bother to responded. I heard the door open, and I felt the bed go down on one side.
“ Hey Gal,” a deep voice whispered. I looked over at Zane and smiled.
“ Hey Zane,” I mumbled. He wiped a tear off my face, and I didn’t even realize I was still crying. I sat up and wiped my face away with the back of my hand.
“ Im sorry,” he said holding my hand. I looked at his hand and then wrapped my arms around him.
“ Zane I can NOT stay mad at you,” I whispered into his ear. He hugged me tighter and I felt him touch my arm and I pulled away, and jumped off the bed.
“ Gal?” He looked at me. I touched my arm and winced in pain. I ran down the hall and into the bathroom and removed my sweater to see my whole upper arm black and blue. It looked like a son of a bi-
“ WHO DID THAT TO YOU?” a voice screamed with anger. I looked over at Zane who was walking towards me, and the doors opened behind him, and I saw Mark, River, and Tony standing there. All their eyes widened when they saw my arm.
“ No one,” I spat. I covered my arm back with my sweater but someone grabbed it from me. I looked over at Mark.
“ Give it back,” I yelled at him. I felt Zane grab me and pull me into a tight hug.
“ Im so sorry, I shouldn’t of let you leave last night,” He mumbled into my ear. I shook my head and let out a laugh, and broke from his hug and lightly hit his chest.
“ not your fault,” I laughed. I looked over at the cousins and smiled.
“ I don’t think I have really said hi,” I smiled at them.
“ Man Galaxy you look different,” Tony said, and he winced at me. I remembered the twins. Tony was the flirty one and river was the one with the glasses and he was a sweetie. Me and him us to be close. I rolled my eyes and walked up to river and gave him a hug and he lightly hugged me back.
“ Haven’t seen you Riv in forever,” I smiled. He nodded his head.
“ yeah you look like
