YM778.TV Chapter 38 - To Be With Megan Again
Ashton\'s POV
"Ashton, that is not a good idea as of this time; Megan is still angry with you, the more you will force to talk with her, the more she will avoid you, let Zach pick her up, I want to do it, but I need to pick up Sherry," Lennon said after I told him I am going to pick up Megan.
"Besides, Dexter could be there, and I think you already reach your quota for the week." He added.
"What quota?" I asked, confused, and my brother laughed at me.
"Punches requirement for the week, Zach already beat you at Lauren\'s party, and Dexter gave you another blow on the following night, and I think you should allow your swollen eyes to recover first before you face Megan\'s brother again. Don\'t get into trouble, Ashton." He added before he gets inside his car, and I saw our youngest brother running, and I shook my head before I fished out my phone from my pocket, and I called my best friend.
"Are you bringing your car today?" I asked him right away the moment he answered my call.
"Yes, and I am on my way to pick up Megan and her sister, and you don\'t need to ask me to do it since I know you will be begging me." He answered, and I am impressed by my best friend\'s initiative, but I felt a little jealous.
"Wow! You are the best, Zach, but I hope you will never take this opportunity to ask Megan out." I said as I let out a soft sigh.
"What do you think of me, Ashton? You are my best friend, do you think I will ruin our friendship because of one girl? I know Megan would be worth all the trouble, but I know she only has eyes for you, so even if I will beg her to have me, I am sure she will never date me." He answered, and I smiled.
"Thank you, Zach, and I am sorry for doubting you," I replied.
"It is okay. I know this is the first time you have become crazy with a girl, and I am enjoying the show." He declared, and I shook my head.
"Yeah, I can\'t deny I am having a hard time now, I never chase a girl before, but this time I am willing to do anything I can just to have her back," I replied.
"Good luck with that, bro." He responded, and I ended the call after I said goodbye to him, and I drove my car to the Academy.
I felt so restless as I waited for Zach to come because I can\'t wait to see Megan. I was leaning on my car as I waited for Zach to enter the parking lot when Lauren came to me.
"Ashton, I am sorry. I don\'t intend to embarrass Megan." She said.
"Do you think I will believe you, Lauren? Don\'t apologize to me, and you should say sorry to her. Can you explain to me why do you need to tell her that kind of information in front of your friends?" I asked as I looked at her in the eyes, and I am shocked that she got so angry with me.
"I will never apologize to her, Ashton. It was because of you why I did it, and you know that we belong together, and I hate that you were avoiding me lately." She said in an angry tone.
"Look, Lauren, we don\'t belong together, and I am not avoiding you because we are friends, but ever since you started asking me to get back together with you, I don\'t have a choice but to stay away from you. We better off us friends Lau, and I hope you will respect my decision." I said.
"How can I respect your decision? When you broke up with me, you told me we need to break up because you don\'t like commitment, and now you are dating Megan, and you are throwing yourself to her." She is now yelling at me, and I tried to calm her
"I am sorry, Lauren. It was true I don\'t like commitment, but the moment I fell for Megan, I suddenly realized I want to commit with her." I said, her face turned so red.
"I hate you now, Ashton," Lauren said before she turned around from me, and I can tell I pissed her off, but I don\'t have a choice but to tell her the truth because I don\'t want to play with her feelings.
As I waited for Zach and Megan, I can\'t stop feeling so worried because it is getting late and they are not still around, and we still have practice, and I am just glad my teammates are patiently waiting for me. And the moment Zachary parked his car, I am tempted to run to Megan\'s side and open her door, but I don\'t want to ruin her Monday.
I was only waiting for her to climb out of the car because I wanted to see her beautiful face and how I wish I could kiss Megan again. I know Megan is afraid to come down because she doesn\'t want to talk to me, and it hurts me because almost all the girls on campus wanted to have time alone with me, and Megan is trying her best to stay away from me, and she rejected all my calls.
I am so frustrated, but I know I hurt Megan, and how I wish she will give me another chance to prove to her I wasn\'t playing with her heart. The moment she got out of Zach\'s car, she took my breath away. She was wearing a mini skirt and crop top that made me felt so jealous when I found my teammates looking at her legs.
"Megan, wait!" I shouted at her, but Zachary blocked my way.
"Not now, Ashton," Zach said, and I felt so defeated as I watched Megan walked away from the parking lot without taking a second glance, and I felt so glad she was with her close friends, or else I will get worried about her.
"Why did you stop me, Zach?" I asked my best friend as we walked towards the football field.
"Megan asked me to stop you from getting close to her today, and she begged me, Ashton, so I think it is best to give her time to heal," Zachary responded.
"To heal? Until she will lose her feelings towards me? Not a chance, Zach. I will not stop chasing her because once I quit, I am sure everything will change. And I don\'t want Megan to forget me, Zach." I said, and he shook his head.
"You need to listen to me if you want to win her back, Ashton." He responded.
"No, I won\'t listen to your advice, Zach. I am sorry." I said as I ran into the fields and tried to stop thinking about Megan as I concentrate on playing my games.
I became more restless when I get inside our first period. Megan is still not on her chair. I ask our classmate seated beside Megan to exchanged seats with me, and I can tell Megan is avoiding me because this is the first time she is almost late. And I smiled when I found her following behind our teacher, and her eyes widened the moment she saw me seated beside her chair.
She avoided my eyes as she sat down, and I can smell her sweet fragrance right away. And she was trying her best not to look at me, and they said it is bad to stare, but I couldn\'t stop myself from gazing at her beautiful face, and I could no longer hear our teacher as he discussed our lesson since I am too busy thinking of a way to convince Megan to talk with me. And when I couldn\'t take it anymore, I whispered in her ear, and I smiled when I saw her skin having goosebumps, and I begged her to talk with me.
I felt frustrated that she didn\'t even speak to me, but I couldn\'t stop myself from smiling when I
saw her get a piece of paper, and she scribbled something on it, and then she folded the piece of paper, and I felt excited, hoping she would give the note to me, and I wanted to scream when Megan handed me the paper.
I was smiling like an idiot when I read her note. It was telling me she will talk to me on Wednesday night after her work on her new part-time job in a pet shop near her home. I felt glad she found another part-time job, Zachary told me about the incident at the cafe where she worked, and I felt so guilty that because of me, she got fired, and I can tell those girls were Lauren\'s friends.
I let Megan go out of our classroom ahead of me because I realized Zach was right, she is not yet ready to talk with me, but I felt better now after she gave me the piece of paper.
"So, what is the update? It looks like you are happy now, and I could tell something good happened because your aura suddenly changed." Zach noticed as we walked to our next subject of the morning.
"Yeah, Megan already agreed to talk with me, and I can\'t stop myself from feeling so excited about it, and I need to get ready because I don\'t want her to break up with me, Zach. I need to convince Megan that I am serious about her." I said.
"Do you need my help?" He asked me.
"Of course, please help me talk with her to give me another chance.." I asked my best friend, and I know I sound so desperate, but I don\'t care as long as I can be with Megan again.
