"Hey Ashley!" my friend called as she tried to catch up to me.

"Oh, hey Chelsea what's up?"

"Nothin much, you?"

"Well… I got a trip to go to London for a few months to study."

"Are you serious? That's awesome I'm so happy for you!"

'I guess"

"What's wrong? I thought you always wanted to go to London."

I see my friend Spencer walk by with a wave and a smile, I look back at her then look on the ground with a slight blush.

"I don't know"

"Oh I see, you don't want to leave a certain someone. Are you finally going to tell her how you feel tonight at the party?"

"I… you know what I think I am going to tell her!"

"Just tell h… wait, what!?"

"Yea I think I'm finally going to tell Spencer that I like her as more than a friend"

"AHH! Im so excited" she screams as I'm crushed in a tight hug.

"Yup, and I'm so nervous"

"Relax, she totally feels the same way"

"Are you sure?"

"Definitely"

I walk to class with a smile.

"Soo… are you gana tell her yet?"

"Actually I was right about to go and talk to her"

"Then why are you wasting your time talking to me? Go!" she says as she pushes me towards Spencer's direction.

"Hey Spencer"

"Hey Ashley!" she greets me with a hug.

"Do you think I could talk to you for a bit… outside?"

"Sure" she grabs my hand and takes me to the quiet backyard and we sit on a bench, she kept her hand in mine and turned towards me.

"So we've known each other for a really long time now and…"

"Go on" she says with an encouraging smile.

"Well, the thing is… I think… no I know that I like you as more than a fr…" I get interrupter by some stupid jock in our Spanish class.

"Hey Spencer! C'mon lets dance." And he pulls her away from me, and she turns to him.

"Hold on a bit"

She then turns to me.

"I'm really sorry about him. I'll go dance with him for one song so he'll leave us alone, but I promise that right after that we can continue this conversation… alone."

"Okay" I say with a shy smile as she kisses me on the cheek.

I walk back into the house soon after they leave and immediately get ambushed by Chelsea.

"Hey! How did it go? Are you finally together now? When's the wedding? Am I invited? I better be invited!"

"Chelsea! Calm down! We didn't get to finish Aiden jockhead interrupted us, but she promised me that we would talk more later… alone."

"Well that seems to be a good sign. Im so happy for you!" she gives me a hug.

"Yea me too, anyways it's been a while I should go and look for Spencer."

"Okay, good luck!"

"Thanks."

I'm running out the house when I hear Chelsea shouting my name.

"Ashley! Where are you going?"

"I'm leaving, I can't be here right now."

"Why? What happened in there? I thought thing were going good."

"Well, things don't always go the way you planned them.

"What happened?"

"Well I headed over to the dance floor to get Spencer so we could finish our talk and hopefully end up together, but then I saw her and jockhead kissing and she wasn't moving away"

"Just stay and talk to her, maybe its not what you think."

"What else could it have been?! I saw them kissing so she obviously doesn't feel anything towards me. The only reason that she wanted to talk to me along, was probably so that I wouldn't get embarrassed in front of everyone when she rejected me"

"But she kissed you on the cheek."

"So! It was probably just for pity. I really need to leave now"

"Please Ashley, just stay and talk to her.

"I really can't stay anymore. You don't know how it feels to have your heart ripped from your chest and crushed to pieces. I really cared about her, and just when I thought I could finally be with her it gets torn away. I can't stay in here, it just hurts too much. I just… I need to get out of here, away from the painful memory of him kissing the girl of my dreams." And with that I walked into my car and drove away.

"Hey Chelsea! Where did Ashley go, I've been trying to look for her."

"She left a few hours ago Spencer"

"What? Why did she leave?"

"Cause her heart was torn"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play innocent with me! Do you even know how much pain you caused her!"

"I honestly have no idea what you're talking about."

"She liked you! Possibly even loved you and you just slapped her in the face. You gave her hope and left her thinking that you liked her too, and then you go kissing that stupid idiot!"

"I…"

"Do you not care about her at all?! I thought you were her friend!"

"Would you just shut up and let me talk!"

"…"

"Good. I didn't kiss him okay, he kissed me. I was so shocked I couldn't even push him away, but as soon as I recovered I pushed him away from me and slapped him in the face. There was no way I wanted to kiss him cause I think he is an idiot and because… well because I like Ashley too."

"So, you do like Ashley?

"Yes!"

"We should go to her house quick so that we can tell her!"

"But I don't have a ride, she was supposed to take me home."

"I have a car you idiot! Lets go!"

***

"Here we are, good luck Spencer I'll be here waiting just in case."

"Okay, thanks"

As I walk up to Ashley's front door, my heart starts to beat faster and faster. I finally reach the front door and I knock, her sister opens the door.

"Hey Kyla, is Ashley here? I really need to talk to her."

She looked down.

"She's not here…"

"Oh okay, do you mind if I wait in her room for her it's really important?"

"Well… the thing is, Ashley isn't here and she probably Won't be back for at least a few months."

"What?! Where did she go?"

"She got an offer from a school in London to study there for a while. She said she wasn't going to go, but for some reason she changed her mind. Almost immediately after she got home, she started packing her stuff and told me she was going to take the next plane out."

"You mean she's not coming back?"

"Not for a few months, sorry."

"Oh, okay. Thanks anyways… and if she calls could you tell her that I'll be waiting to complete my promise?"

"Um… sure no problem."

"Thanks"

I walk back to Chelsea's car with a crestfallen face, hoping that Ashley gets the message and that I can set thing right.
