Ashlyn began writing down her feelings cause now she didn’t know if she would ever say them out loud if he and Joleen got back together. [i]I think it really began when you stood up for me when we were ten. I was really getting it hard for being an American and a bit of a proud one too, or something I did annoyed someone. Children can be cruel for no good reason after all. And you stood up for me. We’d known each other probably for two years and barely talked during that time. But you still did it.[/i] She smiles at the memory and went to her closet to get the dress out. She even put on some mascara and light lipstick. Well if she were to play this part, might as well go the whole six yards. “Mom? Hi I just wanted to give you and dad a call.” She said into the phone as she brushes her hair staring at nothing. “Nothings wrong, but Kane got this hair brained scheme to get back together with Joleen. And it has to do with me. It’s a dating farce. But when it’s over and he gets back together with her...I just can’t stay here any more getting hurt all the time. Is the offer of coming back home still on the table?” She asks in a tiny voice biting the inside of her lip to keep from crying. “Oh thank goodness. No there is no need to waste your money by having you come here and kick his ass. The offer is nice though.”
