(A/N) I couldn't get to sleep all night because I was looking forward to writing the rest of the story, I don't want to rush it but it's so hard! I want to keep it as long as possible. It's like 5:43am here! Hopefully after writing a little I'll get tired :)

Ashley's POV

I was cold and everyone kept staring at me. I felt awkward and horrible. TJ was kind enough to give me his jacket to wear. It was so warm and comfy unlike these stupid clothes. I was so comfortable I could fall asleep in it.

"Thanks-you."I said to TJ who just sat staring out the window.

"Yeah, whatever."TJ said grumpily.

"What's wrong?"I asked. Why would he be grumpy when the groups back together like old times.

"The groups together..."TJ said.

I was shocked. Did he not want them to be together?
"What's wrong with that?"I said aloud.

"But it's not exactly! We need Spinelli! Sure you can take her place but you're nothing like her!"

I wanted so badly to tell him. But I needed a perfect place, time and this would not do. I was thinking, should I treat them to Kelso's and tell the gang all at once? Or should I tell them one by one in their own house? I wasn't sure how to do it but I was sure I'd know when the time comes.

I sighed heavily making it last long.

Once we were off the bus, we walked up to our houses. I looked at mine and realized, if my mom saw me come in like that, she'd freak and maybe dad as well...or he'll blush and try not be pervy.

"TJ, can I ask a favour?"I asked softly and quietly.

"Yeah?"He said hardly into to what I was trying to say.

"If my folks see me like this, they'd freak! So can I..."I started to fiddle with my fingers.

"Sure, get changed in mine. My parents are out. I got the text, Dad's car broke down so Mom has to collect him."He explained, with no expression or emotion. Just simply bored look.

"Thanks."I smiled.

I owned his bathroom and locked the door in case he got any ideas, which hopefully he wouldn't. I washed the gunk of my face and kicked of my clothes. I then realized I left my school bag in TJ's room.

Dammit! I went over to the door.

"Em...TJ?"I called out nervously.

"What?"

"I left my school bag in your room. Can you please get me it?"
I heard shuffling and rumbling going around on the other side of the door. I then heard a knock.

"Here!" He called out.
I unlocked the door.
"Turn away!"I commanded before I opened the door. "Is it turned?"I asked unsure.

"Yeah."

I opened the door small enough to fit my hand through and grabbed my bag opening the gap wider to fit the bag through.

I closed the door and locked it.

"Thanks."I said still blushing.

"Whatever."I heard him say stumbling and falling onto his bed.

I put my bra on, hoodie and jeans on with socks and trainers. They were warm and comfortable. I guess they felt like I was in my pyjamas after what I worn. Not even sure if they should be called closed.

I took the extensions of my hair and brushed my hair over and over again. Taking out the tats and frizz out of the hair.

It was hard brushing my hair that long. Maybe I should cut it but if I did, well then it won't take much to show who I am.

I cleaned up my things and walked out of the bathroom.

"Here."I said chucking over his jacket he lent me. "Thanks."

TJ just stared out of the window.

I sighed and walked over to him and sat on the bed.

"You know, you're going to get over her someday." I said trying to comfort him.

"Whatever."He kept saying.

Could you stop saying that!"I ordered.

TJ jerked his head to me ready to start shouting at me.

"Stop it! The tough act doesn't suit you!"I shouted.

He gulped down what I had said and he looked sad. I sighed.

I put my hand on his hand and he looked at me.
"Trust me, if you become the old TJ I kn...I mean heard about!"I said quickly making my correction.

TJ gave a half smile.

TJ then stared into my eyes. TJ was coming out of his shell for sure. All he needs is a helping hand.

TJ stared into my eyes and I saw his soft blue eyes. The sparkled and shined. His facial expression may not look it, but...he was smiling. TJ was smiling with his eyes.

TJ leaned closer to that his breath hit my face, to our noses were nearly touching. I closed my eyes breathing heavily.

This was what I wanted. I wanted to be with him so badly. I was ready to kiss him. I was ready and I really wanted.

So if I was ready and I really wanted, why did I pull away. I blushed ferociously and turned away from his shocked, confused and embarrassed face.

"I-I-I...I should get home."I quietly said.

I got up off the bed a bit too fast so I fell down. When I was down, I grabbed my school bag and got up and dashed out of the room.

TJ's POV

Her brown eyes were beautiful. I saw they were begging me to make the move. I leaned over and stayed there, getting her breath wiped across my face. I was waiting to see if she'd pull away. But when she didn't I got hopeful. I got very excited. Maybe too excited. I turned my head and got closer to her lips. She still didn't pull away. So just as I was about to lay my lips on her, her face turned suddenly. For some reason I was expecting it, but that didn't hurt and embarrass me less.

"I-I-I...I should get home." Ashley stuttered quietly.

She got up a bit too fast before stumbling and falling. Ashley lay on the ground. She ran out of the room with bag in hand.

I sat on the bed.

WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING! I screamed in my head. WHY HER! WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY HER!

I was a mess. Why did this happen to me? I mean I don't have feelings for her do I? Of course I don't I'm just a pathetic weakling!

I closed my eyes and fell back onto my bed pushing the pillow on my face.
