Goodbye Ashlee, Hello Eva pt. 19

I walked over to answer the phone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey, heard yall partied last night.
Yeah, a little bit harder than we should have. My head is killing me.
So, hows Rose?
Funny thing is apparently she doesnt get hangovers. Shes never had one in her life.
So, shes awake?
Yeah, and chipper. Too chipper.
So do you remember last night?
Yeah. The memories of Rose on top of me instantly flashed back. I pushed them away when I heard Patricks voice.
Well I dont wanna sound protective but did she did you
Patrick, she got off the phone with you and went to bed. She didnt even say goodnight. Just left up the stairs.
Okay. Thanks, Jeremy for respecting her and me. I felt a pang of guilt.
No problem. Hey, you wanna talk to her? I looked up at Rose who was shaking her head and waving her arms frantically in a no motion.
No, I dont think I could deal with that right now. Were about to get off the bus anyways for an interview. I wouldnt have time to talk to her like I would want to.
Okay, well, Ill let her know you called and that youll call back later?
Yeah, good. Thats good. Shit. I gotta go. Bye. And there was a click. I looked up at Rose as I laid the phone down.
Why dont you want to talk to him?
I just I dont know. Ill talk to him later.
Okay. I shrugged and went upstairs. I walked into Eva and Petes room. Wow they left this place like they were going to come back in the next few days. I decided to clean up the room while I waited for Ashlee to call. I picked up Petes jacket and a piece of paper fell out. I didnt want to be nosy, but I wanted to know what it was. I unfolded it.
Peter,
I hope you know that I miss you like crazy everyday. Not saying that Jeremy isnt great its just that hes no you. Of course, I know Ill always come second best in your life or maybe even farther down. But youll always be my number one. Oh, and you look good today in that jacket. Anyways, Im about to give this note to you, and then go fuck Jeremy to get my mind off of you.
Love you forever,
Ashlee.
That. Bitch.
I put the note back into Petes pocket. I couldnt let her know that I had read the note. So, I was just going to have to find some other way to put it. I finished cleaning up the room and walked into Patrick and Roses room. They left their room clean. Thank god. I heard my cell ringing and went downstairs. It was Ashlee. I grabbed it and went and laid in Pete and Evas bed.
Hey, babe.
Hey, Im on my way to Petes house. Unless you wanna meet me somewhere.
Actually, that sounds really good. Lets go eat Mexican or something.
Okay, that little place down the street from Petes house?
Yeah.
See you there, baby. God, I missed you.
I missed you, too. Love you. See you soon.
Love you, too. Bye.
I stood up and there was a knock on the door. When I opened it, Rose and my drummer, Corey, were standing at the door holding hands.
Rose!
I went straight to bed last night and Corey followed.
Corey!
What, dude? Shes fucking hot!
Corey! Thats Patricks girl! And Rose! God, you know better!
Yeah, but
So, you dont love Patrick anymore?
Of course I love Patrick! Im just trying to work things out with Corey. That was fucked up last night. You and me. Me and Corey. It shouldnt have happened.
You dont seem to be working it out very well.
Well, thats none of your business. Corey took a step forward.
So, I guess Ashlees on her way here?
Were meeting out. I gotta talk to her about something and I just dont want the whole house to know.
So, youd rather the paparazzi know and then he whole world blow it out of proportion?
They wont find out.
Whatever. You better hurry! Shit. She was right. I had to go home and get ready and then get back to the Mexican restaurant. An hour later I was walking into the restaurant, and got us a table. Ashlee came walking in not far behind me. We sat down and held hands across the table and caught up with each other for a little while. I had a plan. I was going to ask her a question. If she lied, I was ending the relationship. And if she told the truth, I could understand why she would feel that way, and deal with it.
Ashlee, I need to ask you a question
Sure, baby.
Are you still in love with Pete? She drew in a sharp breath.
Im not going to lie to you, Jeremy. I think I really dont know. But I feel weird without him. Im sure in time Ill get over it.
Thanks, for telling me the truth. I promise I wont leave you hanging without anyone to get your mind off of Pete.
Thanks, Jeremy. That means a lot.
Youre welcome.
Ashlees PoV:
He doesnt even know the half of it. I lied to him alright. If I told him the truth hed tell Eva.
<3
Holy shit
