I woke up wanting to call Ash, but when I remembered what happened, I sighed. I really missed Ash. I don't know how it came to this, with Ash hating me for what was merely an accident. I really want him back.

I got up, changed, and went downstairs. I found Squid asleep on the couch. I didn't have the heart to wake him, so I went into the kitchen to make some pancakes and bacon. Halfway through, Squid stumbled in. He must've woken up just then.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," I said.

An awkward silence ensued.

Squid stared at his feet. "So..."

"Squid, I have a problem."

He looked up at me. "What?"

"I - I don't know how it came to this. I don't know if I love you or Ash. My heart is torn. I don't know what to do."

He shook his head and lifted his hands up. "Abigail, I - I can't help you."

I sighed. "I figured. My sister will probably understand."

"Wait, you have a sister?"

"Yeah, but I haven't talked about her much or actually talked to her until very recently."

"Well, okay, that would make sense." He paused to think for a minute. "I think I'm gonna stay at a hotel. I don't want to increase the risk of it happening again because I don't want to completely screw everything up."

"Okay. Text me when you and Ash are on good terms again."

"I will. Bye, Abigail!"

"Bye, Squid!"

He went out of my apartment. I finished making breakfast and called Marianna.

"Hello?" she said sleepily.

"Hey, Anna," I said.

"Hey, Abigail. What's up?"

"Can you come over right now?"

"Sure. Is it alright if I bring the boys?"

"Um, can you actually come by yourself?"

"Yeah. I'll be there in 5 minutes."

"Anna, you live right below me!"

"I know. I just woke up."

"Just get your lazy ass up here."

"Okay, okay."

I hung up and waited five minutes. Almost exactly five minutes later, I heard the doorbell ring. Since Squid didn't lock it on his way out, I yelled, "Come on in!"

Marianna came in, quickly engulfing me in a hug, without saying anything, which I assumed was because she was afraid Dan and Phil would somehow explode the apartment.

"Anna, I need to talk to you," I said.

"Okay," she said.

As soon as we were sat on the couch, I stated, "Anna, I have a boy problem."

"What is it?"

I told her the whole story and then said, "Anna, I don't know if I love Ash or Squid. My heart is torn. I don't know what to do. They're both amazing guys, but I just don't know."

She thought for a moment. "Do either of them already have a girlfriend?"

"Squid has Nicole."

"Okay, but do you think Squid loves you or Nicole?"

"Nicole. We both panicked about cheating after our accidental kiss." I sighed. "How did it come to this?"

"I don't know, but who do you see yourself with?"

I thought for a moment. "Ash. To be honest, Squid does have good looks and an amazing personality, but Ash is more of my type - honest, loving, caring, etcetera."

"Have I solved your problem?"

I smiled. "Yes, you have. Thanks, Anna!"

She beamed. "No problem! Anything for my sister! Now, I gotta go so the boys don't somehow blow up their flat!"

I chuckled. "Okay, bye!"

As she left, I happily sighed.

I love Ash, not Squid.

I choose Ash.
