Last Chance (Completed)

"Can't you stay a little longer?" Ashley whined.

I shook my head, we went through this every time. I know what you're thinking, I'm fucked up; and I know I am but shit wasn't that easy to break off. I tried, I really did and shit went left. She was crying, hitting me, and pissed that I was breaking it off to try and work shit out with Aria. And I felt her anger, her pain and her confusion in it all. Because all in all, I wanted both of them and I told her that. But I knew I couldn't have both, but I wanted my daughter to grow up with both of her parents in the house if I could make it possible and I felt like I had to explore this relationship with Aria if it had me questioning leaving Ashley to begin with.

One thing led to another after the argument and we ended up in bed having sex, after that I had nothing to do with her for about a month. But then she called me crying one day begging me to come over because she needed someone to talk to and I was the only person she felt like she could really talk to, and that night is what had us here at the moment. Plenty of times I wish I wouldn't have went.

She knows about Aria, it's a not a secret. A part of her doesn't care but I know in another sense it's eating her up. Shit, it was eating me up. I needed to end it, I just couldn't. Ashley made it hard, and it was no telling what she would do. That's what scared me the most. I vowed I wouldn't do shit like this again because I wanted to be a better example for Ava, but yet I put myself in this situation and I had no one to blame but myself, I planned to end it with Ashley though, but I feel like I had to make her feel like the choice was hers. That's the only way this was going to work without it being messy as hell, at least that's what I hoped.

"You know I can't." I responded as I started to get dressed. She rolled her eyes, hating any time she felt like I was leaving her to go be with Aria. It was eleven at night and well past the time I should have been here seeing as how I shouldn't have been here at all. "I'm over you not being able to stay the night." She let out.

"You know the situation Ashley." I pulled my shirt over my head before connecting eyes with her, I could see the hurt in them. "I have to go." I left out as she didn't speak another word. I hated what I was doing to Aria, and I hated what I was doing to Ashley.

I got in my car speeding off towards Aria and I's place, calling Chris in the process. "Yo!" he answered. "My boy, what you up to?" I questioned.

"Not shit, chillin' at the house. What's good?"

"I was with you tonight."

He chuckled, "boy you ain't shit, but I got you. Jodie told me how you got that nigga off guard in front of Aria." I shook my head knowing exactly what he was talking about. "Don't get yourself caught up now."

"Trying not to. But Imma get at you."

"Alright, bet." As we hung up I pulled into our parking lot, Ashley only stayed about five minutes from where we stayed so it was never a long drive. I deleted Ashley from my messages and my call log as I walked in. I was surprised to see it was pitch black, I walked in the room turning on the light seeing an empty room. It was late as hell for Aria to still be out with Ava. I shook my head deciding to give her time until I got in the shower before calling her.

I ran the shower water as I stripped down as my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID seeing Ashley calling, however I didn't have her name saved as Ashley. I shook my head as I let it go to voicemail and hopped in the shower. Once I got out I brushed my teeth then walked into the room seeing Aria tie her hair up and Ava sleep. She turned looking at me, "Hey." I walked over to her wrapping my arms around her body, kissing the side of her face. I loved this girl and there was no doubt about that shit. She was who I wanted to be with. She smiled, closing her eyes before turning around to face me looking me in my eyes like she was trying to read my soul. I smiled as she smiled back, pecking me on my lips. "How was your day?" she asked.
