That one night (mashley)

A stupid mistake

Time skip>>>>a couple of days later>>>

                “Hi!” Tyler’s old roommate says. Her name is Mallory.

“Hi Mallory, Are Kyle and Tyler available right now.” She nods and calls them over. Kyle walks down by himself looking exhausted.  Mallory leaves and Kyle takes us into the living room.

“Hey guys” he says.

“Hey Kyle. How have you guys been?” I say

“Things could be better. Tyler kinda has shut down a bit. Not as bad as before, but still. We finished cleaning everything yesterday and since Shelby’s folks came to get the last of her stuff he has been….distant.” He says softly. Tell me about it I think.

“I’m sorry. Can we go see him?” I say.

“Yeah. Can I hold Cassidy?” I hand her to him and we go up the stairs. Kyle opens the door and we see Tyler on the floor looking at the TV but not really watching it. He looks at us then goes back to staring at nothing. I go over and sit next to him.

“Hey Tyler”

“What’s up dood?” Mitch says. Tyler doesn’t say anything. But he does do something else….He glares at Mitch. What the hell is that about? Kyle looks a bit awkward and looks down.

“Can I be alone with him?” I ask Mitch and Kyle. They nod and leave the room. “Hey, what’s up?” I ask him and go sit on the bed next to him. He opens his mouth then closes it again. “I remember last time we did this. I was fat and pregnant.” I laugh a bit. He looks at me and smiles a bit. “Tyler we need you. Just like before. If you need to talk to me about anything at all then tell me. I will always be here for you.”

 He looks down and tries to speak. He ends up just crying. I hold him in my arms. “It’s just soo hard” He says. His voice is a bit scratchy. “Cleaning her stuff was so hard and finally having to let go. I feel horrible for Kyle. I love him so much and feel terrible because of what I am doing to him” he sobs.

“Why” I ask.

“I just….He has been the best thing that has happened to me since Shelby’s death…. Heck since I have met him and here I am crying about my ex-girlfriend. He shouldn’t be here. I don’t deserve him. I love him but I miss her. I can’t stand it.”

“Tyler, Kyle understands. He understands that it is hard. He loves you though. All he wants is for you to be ok”

“That’s why I don’t deserve him. I should be able to be ok with just him. I shouldn’t be crying about the past.”

“You need time to grieve.  He gets it. But Tyler, Kyle loves you and he knows you love him. He wouldn’t be here if he felt that you don’t love him.”

“I know” he gasps. He is still sobbing as I rub his head.  We sit there for a bit. He calms down.

“What was that glare you gave Mitch about?” I ask as th question suddenly pops in my mind. He looks uncomfortable and a bit mad. “Tyler” I say a bit more sternly.

“Why don’t you go ask him?” he says coldly. I am getting worried. I get up and walk out of the room. Tyler follows me out. We go into the living room and see Mitch on the couch and Kyle in a recliner with Cassidy. Kyle gasps and walks over to Tyler looking relieved. Tyler kisses him and takes Cas. I go over to Mitch.

“Hey Mitch can we talk?” I ask nervously. He looks shocked but says yes. “Can we go in your guy’s room?” I ask Tyler and Kyle. They nod and go sit on the couch. I take Mitch’s hand and drag him to the room. “Why was Tyler glaring at you and why did he tell me to ask you why he did?” I don’t say it accusingly. I say it, my voice shaking.  He looks nervous and scratches his neck.

“Ashley I am sorry.”

“Mitch why did he say that?” I feel tears start coming. I don’t like the sound of his voice.

“Ashley we were fighting- and I was mad and you kissed Jason and I was drunk and I couldn’t control myself” he starts rambling.

“Just fucking tell me Mitch!” I half scream.

“Ashley I- I cheated on you!” He half screams as well. I sit on the bed. I can’t hold myself up anymore. I feel sick as I feel my whole body go numb. Mitch stares at me. He rushes over to me and starts hugging me. I push him off of me and glare at him.

“Are you fucking kidding me Mitchell? You have to be kidding! Did you kiss them or have sex with them?!” I scream.

“The later” he looks down.

“You slept with another girl! You went and told everyone! But you couldn’t tell me, were you even planning on telling me what happened?” I cry and scream at him.

“I only told Kyle but I guess he told Tyler! And Yes I was planning on telling you! I was waiting for the right time.”

“Oh and when would have been the right time to say ‘Hey Ash I cheated on you because we fought and I thought you willfully kissed Jason’!” I yell some more. “Who was it? Do I know her?” I ask angrily and lower my voice.

“It was Jess” he says as his voice lowers

“Your ex fucking girlfriend Jess?” I ask and yell. “I thought I could trust you Mitch. But no, you are just like my ex-boyfriend Austin! Doing the same goddamn thing!” I yell.

“Ashley Please, it was a stupid mistake. I drank more after what happened with Jason and she was there and-…..”

“No Mitch. Just stop! I am not going through this shit again. I’m done. We are fucking done!” I storm out of the room and slam the door with tears running down my face. I run downstairs and grab Cassidy from Kyle and Tyler.

“Ashley are you ok?”

“I’m fine. Thank you for having us over. I will see you at home.” I smile and walk out. I head over to Mitch’s parents’ house.  Thankfully his parents are out tonight. I take Cass’s car seat in and set it in the living room. I run to Mitch’s room and grab my suitcase. I hurry and throw everything in. I grab my laptop bag with the plane tickets. I leave one ticket on the bed and load all my stuff in the car. I put Cass in and drive to the airport. Once I get there I check in for a new soonest flight and do what I need to. I wait around with Cassidy until I hear my flight is called.

Flight to Cheltenham, England

I grab Cassidy and walk onto the plane. So much for a good trip.
