Aiden sat outside of Ashley's mansion for what seemed like hours but was really only five minutes. He ran his hands through his hair and took a deep breath. He could not believe his best friend and the girl he once loved was now addicted to drugs. It killed him to see Ashley like this and to see what it was doing to Spencer. He knew he had to do something or they were going to lose her for good.
He glanced at his watch and saw it was a little past six, he didn't have basketball practice till seven so plenty of time to deal with Ashley. He thought about calling Spencer but decided not to. It will only anger Ashley more, he thought to himself, as he climbed out of his car and slammed the door. He slowly walked the familiar path to Ashley's front door and picked up the spare key she left lying around.
His eyes took some time adjusting to the darkness that greeted him, but he knew she was here, he saw her car parked in its usual spot, plus the blaring of music that could be heard coming from her room was a dead giveaway. He took another deep breath before descending the stairs.
Ashley was too busy counting her stash to notice Aiden had entered the room. She spread the packages evenly in front of her and smiled as she began to pour one on her table.
"Ashley?" Aiden spoke up finally making his presence known.
Ashley jumped and some of the powder flew from her hand and landed on the floor. "What the fuck Aiden?" she yelled as she began sniffing if off the floor.
Aiden shook with fear and rage as he watched the scene unfold in front of him. "You know what enough!" he screamed as he picked Ashley up off the floor and slammed her into the couch.
Ashley was dazed for a minute before she was filled with rage. "How dare you!" she screamed as she began slapping and hitting Aiden as hard as she could.
Aiden stood there and took it before he finally snapped; he grabbed Ashley and roughly pinned her down on to the bed. "You know what; you're going to listen to me!" Spencer may not have the guts to tell you how she feels, but I sure as hell do! He screamed.
Ashley struggled underneath him but it just made Aiden squeeze harder.
"You need to stop this Ashley." This isn't good for you. Aiden had tears streaming down his face. "This girl right here is not my best friend or Spencer's girlfriend." You're just an empty shell.
"Are you done yet?" Ashley growled as she manages to push Aiden off of her.
Aiden wiped his eyes. "Ashley please don't shut me out."
"Why are you really here?" Were you hoping I would be high enough so you could fuck me?" Ashley screamed.
Aiden cringed as he heard the words. "Ashley stop." He pleaded.
"Why?" You tried for so long to break up me and Spencer and now here is your chance to do so." Take it."
Aiden began crying harder. "STOP IT!" he screamed.
Ashley laughed as she went to sit on her bed.
Aiden's head shot to the door when it burst open and spencer entered, worry written all over her face.
"Aiden oh my god are you okay?" She asked as she saw the angry hand prints on his tear stained face.
"Figures you would care more about him." Ashley mumbled.
Spencer's eyes softened as they landed on Ashley's. "Ash sweetie, are you okay?"
"Don't touch me!" Ashley screamed as she jumped off the bed, as far away from Spencer as possible.
Spencer jumped liked she had been burned; she could not believe the girl in front of her was once her loving girlfriend.
Aiden had not said a word as he watched the exchange in front of him. He was deep in thought and finally knew what had to be done. He walked quickly to the table a grabbed the bags of coke and headed towards the bathroom.
"Aiden no!" Ashley screamed as she ran after him.
Aiden pushed her to the floor as he slammed the door and locked it behind him.
"Ashley!" Spencer screamed as she ran to her.
Ashley stood up and began pounding on the door ignoring Spencer who was crying beside her.
Aiden began ripping open the bags and flushing them down the toilet once he was done he took a calming breath and opened the door.
Ashley pushed past him and ran towards the toilet. "How could you?!" she screamed as she slapped him again.
Aiden brushed it off and said in an eerily calming voice "either you get help or I'm so done with you." I can't stand to see you like this and I will not stand for the way you are treating me or Spencer.
Ashley's eyes shot to Spencer who was crying silently next to Aiden.
"I don't need this shit." Ashley said as she grabbed her jacket and left slamming the door on her best friend and her soul mate.
