Hey guys! I'm sooo sorry I haven't added a new chapter in a while. I've had a lot going on recently. I apologize for another short chapter. I promise I will start updating with longer chapters more regularly starting tomorrow : )

Ashley's POV

The morning came and I awoke next to the most beautiful thing on this planet. I was sure it wasn't a dream this time. I just lay there observing how cute she is when she sleeps; The way the golden light creeping through the window shines on her smooth skin. I go to brush her messy hair out of her face, when I here her whimper slightly and scrunch her eyebrows. Damn it. I woke her up. She stretched as she yawned, then looked up at me with a sleepy smile on her face.

"Good morning beautiful" I said smiling at her.

"Good morning yourself" She smiled back at me.

I leaned down to give her a quick kiss on her gorgeous lips.

"Ashley I don't want to go."

"Then don't"

"I can't just stay here forever" she said with a laugh "My mom's going to be pissed."

"Well you go get ready and I'll make you some breakfast, and by breakfast I mean cereal, and then we can worry about getting you home."

"Alright."

Spencer came down in one of my very few comfortable tee shirts and shorts. She looked so adorable. I wish I could keep her here forever.

"What's that?"

"Breakfast is served!" I handed her bowl of various cereals mixed into one marvelous creation.

"Hmm… I think I'll pass" She said as she looked at the bowl.

I looked down pouting and turned away from her with my arms crossed.

"Awe, Ashley!" She grabbed my shoulders and ran them down my arms from behind me. "I'm sorry I hurt your feelings." She nestled into my neck. I remained silent. I worked hard on that cereal.

"I'd love a bowl of your special cereal" I spun around to face her.

"Ok, you're forgiven. Almost."

"Almost! What do I have to do?"

I smiled and pointed to my lips. She smiled back at me and leaned in. Our lips met and lingered for a moment. She began to pull away, but I put my hand on the back of her neck and pulled her back. I could feel her smile in the kiss. Just then Spencer's phone started ringing.

"Ugh!" I said when she pulled away to answer.

"Hello. Jess? Oh… Um that's great. Umm yeah… alright. Ok. See you there. Bye."

"Fuck!I gotta go Ash I'm sorry."

"Jess is back." I said as my heart sank. I didn't even think about Jess.

"I'm such a horrible person."

"You're not so bad. Good luck breaking up with her today" She looked down and said nothing.

"You are breaking up with her today right? Right?"

"I need some time to sort things out."

"What's there left to figure out? Spencer you looked me in the eyes and you told me you still love me. Or is that just part of your little game?"

"What game!"

"Oh don't play that innocent card with me. You know exactly what you're doing. You're afraid to get hurt so you're just using me whenever you want because you know I'll give in and come crawling back the next day. And what's worse is you're keeping Jess around to be your little safety net and leading the poor girl on. I won't be apart of that Spencer. I can't."

"You're right. I'm just scared.."

"Scared of what Spencer? To get hurt? Don't give me that crap. You think you're the only one that can get hurt? You think I'm not just as afraid to get hurt as you are? This is affecting me too Spencer. You are the only person that can hurt me right now, because you're the only one I've ever completely let in. You have so many people who love and support you, so don't tell me that you're scared. The truth is I am too, but the difference is I want you to bad to care right now, because you're worth the risk."She had tears in her eyes. I hate when she cries, I would do anything to stop them from falling down her cheeks.

"Is that what you think? That I don't think you're worth the risk? That's not true, I... I'm sorry, I just really need to clear my head right now."

"No, I'm sorry, I understand. Last time I was the one who needed time. Now it's your turn. I'll drive you home. Sort out whatever it is you need to sort out. Call me when you're ready. I'll be there for you. No matter what."
