Reaction

The night before Ashley's mother ran off they had a fight. Her mother was trying to tell her that they need to cut off on the way they are living. But all Ashley could think about was her self and how her mother was not thinking about her needs. Ashley was being very selfish she said some pretty nasty thing to her mother. But now that her mother is gone she wish she had never said such things and now she would do anything just to have her mother back in her life. You never know what you have until it's gone.
