TBTS#1: She Dated Me for Character Development [GirlxGirl]

chapter 7 - The sister

Ashley ran towards the information center asking about her best friend.

"Calm down, miss. Can you tell me the name of your best friend?" The nurse asked, shaking her head.

"Any Zahra Garge? Jewel Amazon? Rain West?" Ashley played with her fingers.

She felt anxious. What did they do! Fuck!

She felt her breath becoming heavy.

"I'm sorry, miss, but there's no patient with those names," the nurse simply said, looking at her.

"Huh," Ashley felt confused.

Just then a doctor heard their conversation and walked toward them. She looked sad, her face filled with anxiety, "Your best friend, Brooklyn V-"

Without letting the doctor finish what she said, Ashley interjected, "Brooklyn?"

Ashley was taken to the scene where she had broken up with Brooklyn. So she renamed me her best friend huh? Ashley felt her throat tighten. It's been a long time since she had uttered that name.

"What happened to her?" Ashley simply asked, her eyes becoming dark. Calm down! You have moved on. You have moved on.

"Please follow me," The doctor bowed, then took her to Brooklyn's ward.

They walked slowly passing by the other wards. Ashley felt her heartbeat quicken as if there were still some feelings left that she had for Brooklyn, but after she stepped it. She inhaled, and her lips formed a smile. It seems like she was just nervous to meet Brooklyn.

As they walked closer, Ashley could see the unconscious Brooklyn. She was still the same as before.

Her beautiful long lashes, her lips, and even her hairstyle stayed the same. The only difference now is that Brooklyn was in a coma.

"Doctor, is there an estimated date when she will be awake?" Ashley asked, turning to the doctor.

The doctor fixed her coat as if nervous, "We can't say. She received a heavy blow, especially on her skull."

Ashley's eyes dropped, "Thank you, doctor."

"The pleasure is all mine," the doctor simply said before leaving the two alone.

Ashley creased her forehead. It has been four years now. I wonder what she is like. Ashley left her lips curving upwards. She must have been the same as always. The same warm happy person.

Ashley sighed. If only she wasn't a cheater.

Ashley kept staring at the unconscious Brooklyn, memories started to fill her mind. It made her nauseous. How could she be such a fool to still continue being with Brooklyn after the latter had cheated on her the first time?

The way Brooklyn had smiled at her when they were in college. How could she forget about that? She then slowly approached Brooklyn to be her friend, and soon they became best friends. Brooklyn had always been there for her.

It all changed when Ashley fell deeply in love with Brooklyn and decided to pursue her. This memory made her laugh. Ashley really did rely on Brooklyn too much.

Looking at Brooklyn right now, she hoped that when Brooklyn woke up, she could at least receive an explanation of Brooklyn's cheating acts. Well, that is if she will tell me.

Ashley then reached her head slowly towards Brooklyn's face. Her old habit of poking Brooklyn's face had emerged again. She won't know anyway.

Just as Ashley's hand was about to reach Brooklyn, a voice shouting at her caused her to pause and retreat her hand back.

"Keep your filthy hand away from my sister!" an authoritative voice of a female shouted.

Ashley was surprised, causing herself to step back. She then turned her head toward the person.

The person had silver wavy hair past her shoulders, her eyebrows were furrowed, yet still very darn attractive. She wore a black suit customized and tailored to fit her style and to match her high heels.

Ashley raised her eyebrows. How rude.

"And, may I know who you are?" Ashley politely asked despite being irritated.

The female smirked, "Like what you see?" Flirtingly.

Ashley was taken aback. Her ears suddenly turned red. She's darn attractive. Why does she have to be?

"I'm Ashley Kay, and do you know that it is very rude to shout while my best friend is in a coma?" Ashley recovered her senses.

The person raised the corner of her lips as if remembering something, then walked towards Ashley and said in a friendly manner with a hint of sarcasm,"Apologies, but I am your best friend's sister. It's very surprising that you don't know me. How would I know if you're not some fake crazy stalker pretending to be her best friend?"

Ashley's veins popped mentally and she forced a smile, "Well with due respect, stranger, how would I know that you aren't some stalker stalking my best friend then?"

For a second, it was almost as if a fight would break down any second now. Ashley looked at the stranger with hatred despite being calm on the surface.

"Not bad," the stranger felt amused.

She stretched out her hand and introduced herself, "I'm Collier. Nice to meet you."

Ashley accepted Collier's offer and shook her hand, "Not willing to disclose your identity then? I'm Ashley Kay."

Collier shrugged, "I don't have to. I'm Brooklyn's older sister."

Collier then raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms, "You said you are her best friend, so why don't you know me?"

Ashley snorted as she grabbed a chair for herself, then sat down, "Why don't we ask her?"

Collier grabbed herself a chair feeling irritated. No matter what she has to avoid Ashley and her sister engaging in a relationship. She'll do everything! The accident might have been Ashley's doing for all she knew.

"You are humorous, aren't you? Why don't you be a clown then?" Collier smiled at Ashley.

Ashley rolled her eyes. Very funny.

"You're good at joking, why not become a comedian then?" Ashley raised her eyebrow with a smug look.

Collier narrowed her eyes, giving her a glare. She had never been counterattacked like this all her life.

Ashley sighed. She better get this over with if she wants to arrive home early. "Your dear sister didn't tell me. Besides before you go on and accuse me, she's also my ex-girlfriend. I don't know why she labeled me as her best friend. All I know is that the hospital called me, telling me my best friend is in a coma." Ashley glanced at the clock. Fuck. It's already this late?

Ashley looked at Collier again. She was surprised.

Collier's eyebrows shot up and her eyes widened as if she just had seen something so shocking that she had turned pale.

"Are you alright?" Ashley asked, leaning closer.
