Thinking Of You (Before You Exit fanfiction)

Chapter 36

"Wait" he called out

I stopped and turned back around to face him

"Ashley I told you this before and I'll tell you it again, I don't hate you and I never will. It just really upset and hurt me that you would go and do something like that. I mean after everything that you told me I thought you liked me not my brother"

"It is you I like, I mean I like Toby too but as a friend and nothing more. I was so careless to let it happen and it literally meant nothing to me. I don't know what I was thinking. I promise you that you're the one I really like, hell you're the one that I love" I confessed

"I see that now and I have to tell you that I love you too, I really do and that's why it hurt so much. I forgive you but I just hope it never happens again"

"I promise you that it won't...so are we good again" I asked

"We're good" he smiled as he gave me a hug "I have a question though" he continued

"Sure what is it"

"Are you really going to break up with Zach"

"Yeah but I just have to find the right time and figure out how I'm going to do it"

"Okay well I'm here for you if you need me"

"Thanks so much...I better go give Connor his guitar back" I spoke up

"Yeah speaking of that I didn't know you played"

"I don't he kinda just taught me so I could do that for you"

"So that's where he's been going every evening" he mumbled

"Yup"

"You went through all that work for me" he asked

"Yup"

"Why"

"Because I wanted to show you how sorry I was and I didn't know what else to do"

"Well thanks so much and by the way you did a great job"

"You're welcome and thank you"

I then left his room to go find Connor but I didn't have to go far because he was standing right outside Riley's door
