Impossibly Possible

•Chapter 4•

Ashton's POV 😏

I couldn't get my mind off of her. Alice. My Alice, the Alice who was there for me when I scraped my knee; the Alice that built pillow forts with me.

We had been best friends, that was until Adam had walked into her life at 12 years old and completely left me in the dust.

When we were 12, Alice had a crush on this guy named Dylan. She used to tell me all about him, how she loved the way his green eyes sparkled and how his auburn hair fell into his eyes. She liked him so much.

That was when Adam moved here. He needed friends, and when he saw a pretty girl with a nerd like me, we were an easy target. He would push me out and become friends with Alice, it was that simple.

So he planned to make Alice hate me. He told Dylan that Alice liked him and lied to Alice that it was me who told Dylan. Turns out that Dylan thought Alice wasn't pretty, and he had his eyes set on another girl. I tried to comfort Alice but she stormed off, thinking that cool and hot Adam was telling the truth.

After that incident, I tried talking to Alice but she just ignored me. I wonder if it was more things that Adam had told her. She never replied to any of my texts and stopped talking to me, so I was really hopeless. I had given up.

But seeing Alice in math class yesterday had made me want her back. She used to be my math partner, and we would always pass notes in math class because we both finished early. I wanted to talk to her, so I followed her the pizza place she went to, our pizza place, and waited to see if I could get her alone and talk to her.

But Adam was there, and it was the same story, Adam tells Alice to ignore me, Alice listens. Oh well. Maybe I should just give up trying.

I looked down at the paper I had started writing my English essay on, and crumpled it. I hate Adam. Walking to my mini fridge, I opened it and pulled out some pink lemonade. Alice's favorite. God, I need to stop thinking about her. But how could she forget 10 years of friendship that easily, when it was so hard for me?

A/N: Plot twist, anyone? 😂 Let me start again. 😂 Hey there, beautiful readers! This was a relatively short chapter, but I feel like it was highly needed for the story to progress. Who is still shipping Adlice? Hopefully nobody. 😂 Oops, was that a spoiler? I don't know.... 😏 Who's excited for the next chapter?
Keep reading!
