Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste

Chapter 23

Chapter 23 

“Thank you Ryan.” I mumble, closing the door of  the car with a soft thud. Ryan smiles, it comes out  awkward and cautious as he turns to stare at a still  enraged Arden. 

“Let’s just hope he didn’t kill the guy.” Ryan  winced when Arden slammed the door of the car  unnecessarily harsh.I forced out a smile as we 

watch him stride towards the house. He was still so  furious. This was all my fault. 

“I did this.” I mumble but didn’t know I said it loud  enough that Ryan heard. 

“What do you mean? How is it your fault?”  Curiosity dotted his features. I looked back at  Arden, watching him slam the front door closed  with brutal force. 

I sighed, turning my attention back to my auburn  head best friend. “The boy Arden beat up was  calling me unforgivable words.” I gulped, my eyes  tearing up. 

“If-” My voice cracks and I gulped, breathing in  some much needed air. “If I hadn’t kissed Blake  none of this would happen. This is all my fault I’m  a slut.” 

Ryan’s eyes widen in shock at my use of words.  Regaining his speech, his eyes softened  considerably, but his tone was anything but soft. 

“This isn’t your Fcking fault Ashley. I made that  Fcking dare, I did this! You’re not a F*cking slut  and you’ll never be. In fact if I had known the  reason why Arden was pummeling the kid I’d join  him, serves him right.” He says angrily.
