fifty-five.

A/N: A very special chapter in honor of 100k reads. Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heartu <3

I told you.

Ashlyn, I told you to hate him.

Now look at you.

A mess.

You always were, torn between two dilemmas because of your kindness but...

Where is the self respect?

You were fine being friends with the enemy.

Then you fell in love with the enemy.

You've become the enemy's pawn.

Now, who has the leverage?

Check mate.

So what's your next move?

The flight I boarded two hours ago has landed me in good ol' Kansas.

My sister, Kate, came to visit my parents again before her semester started so I decided why not me too.

Oh yeah, this is also the week of the lawsuit so there was that.

I have been running away from my problems.

I know.

I just need to find my solutions to stand up to those problems.

Then maybe I'll face them.

"Ash Catch'em, wanna go get some food," My sister blatantly says, poking her head into my room.

Which has now turned into my Mom's personal closet but okay thanks Mom.

"Sure, what are you feeling for?" I ask, looking up from my laptop.

She ponders about it for a quick second, "I'm thinking of Chinese?"

"I'm down," I oblige.

"Let's go."

We hopped into our Mom's car and drove to Lucky Dragon for some high quality Chinese food.

Once we ordered and got our food, my sister and I brought it inside the car to eat.

"Don't spill any food onto the seats, Mom would kill us," Kate warns.

I sigh in annoyance, "Blah blah blah, chill."

She rolls her eyes, "Stop being a snob and just listen noob."

"Whatever," I chuckle, pestering her even more.

"Oh, how long are you staying?"

"A week, I think that will be long enough for the people to mourn about their loss at the trial."

"You really did not wanna go testify," My sister laughs.
