Getting broken up with was one thing Aliana Haven was used to. Her first years of High School mostly consisted of heartbreaking break-ups. But on top of all that, she has to deal with the remnants of sadness left behind after her mother left her and...

Ashton's POV
Usually, Saturdays were the greatest day of the week for me. I could do anything I wanted without having school hanging over my head. But this Saturday? I didn't know what to do with myself.
I couldn't sleep last night because my mind was taken over by thoughts on how to break up with Abbie. I wasn't going to waste anymore time. Abbie just wasn't the girl for me.
Ali was.
But Abbie was in between us, separating me from her. And I just needed to break up with her so I could get to Ali, show her that we can be friends again. It was really weird waking up that morning. Usually, I would have a text from Ali. But there wasn't any.
My heart dropped when I saw that I didn't have any notifications. I guess I was hoping that she had changed her mind. Decided that we could be friends again. Because honestly, this was Hell.
I could always go to Ali with any problems, she always listened. If I ever needed someone to hang out with, she was there. And now, knowing that I couldn't text or call her and ask if we could hang out, I was lost.
Like I said before, I didn't know what to do with myself. But, this was the day. I did actually know what to do with myself.
Wait, what was I going to do? Oh yeah, break up with Abbie. I got off my bed and headed downstairs. "I'm going to Abbie's, Dad!" I called from the front door.
"Okay, son! Have fun!" he called in reply. Haha, sure. This was going to be great fun. I left the house and got in the car, bracing myself for what I was getting myself into.

Knock, knock.
I rapped my knuckles on Abbie's door before gazing up at her huge house. She was definitely rich. Her house was three stories tall, and very wide. A total mansion.
It even had a huge pool in the back that we made out in this last summer.
Stop it Ashton. Stop thinking about the past. I took a deep breath, and just as I let it out, the door opened.
Abbie's mom appeared. "Ashton? What are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to Abbie," I told her. She stared at me a second before calling Abbie. Abbie came down the stairs seconds later in a very fancy dress. She was probably going to a party, like usual.
"Ashton." she sneered. I was taken aback. "What are you doing here?" Her mouth set in a firm line. Why was she so angry at me?...
Oh yeah. I had been a total jerk to her.
I gave her mom a 'leave us alone' look. She must've got the message because she watched us for a second before going up one of the huge staircases. I cleared my throat. "Can we talk?" I pulled her outside and shut the door.
