Back In Time

CHAPTER 1

ASHTON

Ring
I really hate that alarm. I grudgingly woke up and went to take a piss before looking at myself in the mirror. I really can't believe this is what my life has come down to. Being cheated on and blatantly lied to as if I'm a fool. I sigh deeply before taking a toothbrush and toothpaste, washing my teeth before walking out.

I step out of the bathroom walking into my room and took a glance at my husband. Where did we go wrong or was I the stupid one to actually believe that he loves me. We were great in highschool, heck every one called us the perfect couple. I sighed and made my way to the chair and packed all his dirty laundry before going downstairs to the basement where the washing machine was. I checked one by one for anything that could damage the washing machine and what I found tore me apart.

A girl's underwear in his trousers. Is Michael kidding me? I quickly blinked away the tears and put all his clothes in, turned it on and left. I went up to make breakfast only to find my daughter sneaking a guy out of the house. What is going in my own goddamn house.

"Anastasia come here!" She looked at me and rolled her eyes before coming to me. She gave me a bored look and I felt that in my chest but I can't get mad at her. She's only 16. It's normal for teenagers to get rebellious right?

"What"

"What was that boy doing in my house without my knowledge?" I tried being stern with her but it just doesn't work so I stopped but this is where I draw the line. I don't want grandchildren at the age of 41.

"This is not your house, it's my dad's house so if you're like done lecturing me right now, I need to go take a bath otherwise I'm gonna be late for cheer practice."

"Anas-" She left before I could even finish what I wanted to say. At times like this I really missed daddy, he would know what to do. But he's not here. I put my head on the table and let the sobs out. I really miss him. He passed away while I was in highschool and I was at Michael's game that day. I guess daddy's death really led me to fall deeply in love with Michael because during that time he was there for me through everything. I remember him leaving a bouquet of flowers and a letter. That was really sweet.

I picked my head up, wiped my tears and began cooking breakfast. After 30 minutes I had started plating the food when everyone came out. Michael picked up a piece of toast, kissed my cheek before heading for the door. Ana and Christian also left after that and I started cleaning up. Not even a goodbye, huh?

After tidying up, I didn't feel like eating so I went to my room and took a shower. I  didn't even take that long because I'm so tired and I really want a long nap because it's my off day. Today I just want to sleep and never wake up if that's possible. But of course I had to be disturbed since the whole world hates me.

Anthony
I'm coming to pick you up in 15 mins. Be ready. Love ya

I picked up my phone, replied then tossed it away. I'm too old for this but I know he's trying to cheer me up. We've been through a lot together and best friends since middle school. He's my ride or die but I really feel like killing him. I let out a huge exaggerated sigh and went to take out clothes. I just chose a simple white dress shirt then I unbuttoned the first two buttons and some tight ass black jeans. I put on a bit of make up on my chest to make them pop.

I heard a car honk outside so I knew that impatient thing is here. I put on some chapstick then gloss and ruffled my hair. I didn't feel like doing anything special. I put on my black timberland boots and took my purse and left the room. I went to the lounge and checked everything. Yeah seems perfect. So I took the house keys, locked the house and left.

"What's up bitch!!!!!" This boy is loud. Like no man you're loud but I'm louder. I got inside the car and put on the seatbelt.

"Bitch!!!!!!!!!!!" He only laughed and started the car.

"You're looking great today. What's going on?" I sighed and he already knew because pulled up the car out of nowhere and he turned to look at me.

"What did he do now?" I dropped my head and he gave me a hug. This is why I love him. He knows what I need without me even having to tell him. "Let it all out boo, I'm here for you. You know that right?"

I nodded on his shoulder and he gave me a kiss on the head. I raised my head up and he wiped my tears away. I gave him a small smile and he returned it.

"Listen here I don't even want to know what that fucktard did because I know it's that bad if it made you cry and you know I don't like seeing you cry. So what we're going to do is go shopping and rid our minds of him. Ok?" I nodded and he started the car and we were on our way.
