No.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to risk hurting myself." You say.

"Okay, then what else can I do to help you burn off that anger?" Ash asks, almost sounding disappointed in your answer.

You begin to think. That seemed to be the only legal way to beat her up... there seemed to be no other options to help you deal with the stress.

"I'm not sure, I think I just need some time to cool down." You reply.

Ash takes a breath, then talks into the phone "Okay, I understand. Maybe we both need some time to cool off. Will you call me back when you're ready to talk again?" Ash asks. Her voice is a little bit shaky in the background.

"Yeah, I'll try my best."

Days, then months, then years went by, and you never got back to her. She did the same with you.

One day it was your 30th birthday, after drinking a bit with some friends you suddenly remember another friend by the name of Ash.

When you get home, you attempt to call her. Your heart sinks when you hear the automatic voice saying, "the number you have looked for no longer exists". You find her mothers house and meet with her to inquire about Ash. When you ask where Ash is, she gives you a sad face and hands you a newspaper article.

You read it.

"Young woman found dead in an apartment, believed to be emotionally unstable and committed suicide. No more details are available."

You feel tears beginning to form. You look at the date.

It was her 20th birthday when she died. The day you promised you would go visit her nearly a decade ago...

End.
