Spencer's POV
I hear my phone ringing but I'm too tired to move, so I just lay here thinking about how happy Ashley made me in high school. I wish we never broke up, but I moved to Ohio with my dad he got custody of me and my brother glen in the divorce. I ran into ash a month ago at NYC where I attend school for photography. Turns out she just transferred to be here with her girlfriend Jessica.
My phone is ringing again it's the third time in a row.
"Hello?" I say into my cell not looking at the caller i.d.
"Jess Proposed! And I said YES!" is what I hear Ashley say and I suddenly feel my heart breaking into pieces.
"What?" I say because I just don't want to believe it.
"Yeah she just asked like 5 minutes ago and I just had to call my best friend and tell you first!"
"I'm happy for you ash, when do you get back to New York? We should celebrate?" Or you know get drunk off my tail to drown my sorrows of losing you.
"I get back in the morning. Jess has to take her last test of the semester, then we are going to plan the wedding."
"Oh wo.." I get cut off by ash asking me something
"Wait! Hold on Spence will you pretty please be my maid of honor?" she's not even here and I can tell she has her pouty face on.
"Put that pout away " "I am not pouting" she's laughing so I know she was "I will always be there for you best friend so of course I will be your…Maid..of..Honor." That was so hard to get out but by the squealing in my ear I know I've made her happy and that's all I want is for her to be happy.
"Hey ash I'm gonna go I have a test in the morning…..i'm so happy that your happy." I'm trying to hold in my tears I don't want her to hear me crying she'll know something is up and I don't want to tell her not now.
"Okay Spence night I love you baby." Click. Wait hold the tears, Did she just say I love you and call me baby? No no maybe she was talking to Jess while hanging up.
Ashley's POV
Holy Cow! What. Did. I. Just. Do!
I totally just said that to spencer I haven't said that or called her that since we were dating. I think I'm having a panic attack jess is saying something but I'm to in my head to listen. I hope spencer didn't hear me. I'm brought out of my thoughts by jess putting a paper bag in my face and saying "breath in, breath out" over and over. I think my breathing is back to normal.
"So are you just soooo happy to be marrying me that your already thinking about planning that your hyperventilating?" Jess asks while we get comfy for a nap before heading off to the airport.
"Of course baby! You know how am all girly and has to have everything perfect." She just chuckles a little knowing just how I get about details. I can't really believe I just lied to her it's the first time I have ever lied to her. But I don't wanna tell her what I said to spencer jess is a super jealous person and I don't want to hurt her.
….
We're on the plane leaving L.A. heading back to N.Y I stating out the window. Jess is sitting beside me sleeping. My mind keeps drifting back to spencer and what I said. All these old memories flowing through my mind of us in high school. Like the first time I told her I loved her.
It was at the beach we had been going out for three months and she looked so beautiful I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. I felt her lean back into me and I turned her in my arms, kissed her lips and barley pulled back still touching them without pressure and I looked into her eyes and said "I feel like I've known you all my life not five months but I have to tell you or I'm gonna go out of my mind, I love you Spencer with everything I am." She kissed me and said it back "I love you too ash, forever."
That day was probably the best day of my life. And I shouldn't even say that because I just not even 24 hours ago told Jess I would marry her that should have been that best day of my life. I am totally having second thoughts. Maybe if I call Kyla she can help me sort this out and figure out what to do.
