Chapter 34

• ASHLEY'S POV
• As soon as I got to my apartment, I couldn't help but think about the trip. I felt different since I came back, It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted off my chest. The trip with Micheal had given me something I've always wanted…peace. And for the first time in a long time, I wasn't overthinking, I wasn't worrying or feeling sad about anything. I was just me. And it felt really good.
• After I've freshened up, I decided to reach out to my friends and meet up with them. We haven't met since Austin’s birthday party and I missed them. What happened that night was something I kept to myself because I wasn't ready to talk about it. I knew they would demand answers, and I'm ready to give them.
