Ashley crying, knew in his heart this separation would be the best thing for the both of them, "Shel, this is hard enough for the both of us. Please don’t make it any harder. I know this is tough, but . . . it you walk out that door this is it!"
"Well have a nice life Ashley. Good bye........forever." Shelli said walking out that door without looking back at the man she loved for more than a year.
Lyrissa, Erik’s girlfriend, came to visit him and the guys when she saw Shelli exiting the door, "Shelli, what’s wrong?"
"Me and Ashley just broke up." she said sobbing on Lyrissa’s shoulder.
"Tell me what happened inside." Lyrissa said trying to compassionate.
"Well it all started when Ashley was telling me about this girl named Emily. I had only met her once. She seemed really like a nice girl. They both had a ‘friend-date’ a few weeks ago. They had a good time, apparently a really good time. So when they came home they were talking outside on the porch and they had a kiss. And the story gets kind of graphic from there on. If you know what I mean." Shelli said.
"Shelli its ok. There are plenty of guys that would love to go out with you. One guy will be perfect for you," Lyrissa said to comfort her.
"Oh my gosh! Your jacket I ruined it!"Shelli said.
"That’s OK Shelli, I have plenty of jackets," Lyrissa said reassuringly, "Don’t you have a flight in a couple of hours?"
"Yeah I do at 7:30. Could you give me a ride?" said Shelli.
"Me and Erik can drop you off." Lyrissa said.
"Could I what?" Erik said to give Lyrissa a soft kiss.
"Drop Shelli off at the airport, babe." She said giving Erik a hug.
"Shelli," Erik asked, "why is Ash crying? Aimee found him crying in his room and is comforting him now. What happened?"
"We just broke up," Shelli said as if nothing had happened to her.
"Erik, would you mind and get my bags, they’re in the living room. I can’t see him cry." asked Shelli.
"Yes Ma’am!" Erik said acting like a bell boy.
