Ashley sat in the darkness of her room as she thought about all the pain she had caused. Spencer wouldn't even speak to her and either would Aiden, she felt torn between the two. She had really fallen for Aiden and Spencer was her best friend and she had hurt them both beyond repair.
Aiden was in the middle of playing Call Of Duty when he heard a knock on his door.
"Come in," he called figuring it was just Clay.
"Hey," Ashley mumbled as she came through the door.
Aiden paused his game and set his controller down as he glared at her angrily.
"What do you want?"
"I came to apologize," Ashley said as she looked around the room taking in all his trophies.
"For lying to me?" Aiden asked angrily.
"For lying to everyone, it was stupid of me," Ashley said as she sat next to Aiden on his bed.
"Then why do it?"
"I wanted to be popular and I wanted you to notice me," Ashley said sadly.
Aiden reached over and took her hand, "I already had."
Ashley looked up at his words, "you did?"
Aiden nodded as a smile crossed his face.
Ashley couldn't keep the smile off her face as she leaned in and kiss him lightly on the lips, "I'm sorry about lying to you," she said against his lips.
Aiden pulled away, "I'm sorry to."
Ashley looked surprised at his admittance, "for what?"
"Making you lie to Spencer and for keeping our relationship a secret, you are an incredible woman and you deserve better than that," Aiden said as he kissed Ashley's forehead.
"I love you Aiden," Ashley whispered.
Aiden beamed, "you do?"
Ashley nodded.
Aiden smiled as he leaned in and kissed Ashley deeply, "can I take you out?"
Ashley beamed, "like you have to ask."
"So do you like laser tag?" Aiden asked as he pulled into the parking lot of the local arcade.
"I have never played before," Ashley answered as she followed him inside.
Ashley giggled as Aiden tackled her from behind, "I suck at this," Ashley pouted as he landed on top of her.
"Yeah you do, "Aiden said with a smirk as he kissed her quickly before helping her up.
Ashley pouted as she swatted his chest playfully.
Aiden laughed as he handed the clerk back their equipment, "hungry?" he asked as they headed towards the car.
Ashley just nodded as they got in.
"Sorry about the place, it's all I can afford," Aiden said as he took a bite of his Mcdouble.
"It's okay," Ashley said as she stole one of his fries.
Aiden smiled, "glad you think so."
"So want to go back to my place and watch a movie or something?" Aiden asked as he dumped their trash.
"Sure sounds fun."
Ashley cuddled close to Aiden as he hit play on the DVD player; he wrapped his arms around and pulled her close.
Aiden watched Ashley as she continued to watch the movie; he licked his lips as he leaned over and began kissing up and down her neck.
"That feels good," Ashley said nervously as she pushed his head closer.
Aiden grinned as he pushed Ashley down on the bed and began kissing and nibbling at her neck harder and more aggressively.
Ashley was getting more and more nervous as his hands began to wander, she knew he was wanting to go further but a voice inside her head was telling her this was all wrong and she felt herself pushing him away.
"What's wrong?" Aiden asked as he saw how hard Ashley was breathing. "Did you not like it?"
Ashley shifted away from him and sat up as she ran a hand threw her hair, "it was nice, I just I," she began nervously.
"You want' to keep waiting?" Aiden asked as he stood up and crossed over to his desk chair and took a seat so he could still face Ashley.
"Yes," Ashley mumbled as she avoided eye contact with Aiden.
"Oh, I figured you and Spencer," Aiden began but Ashley was quick to cut him off, as she stood up and crossed over to where he was sitting. She kneeled in front of him and placed her hands on his knees for support.
"Me and Spencer never did anything more than kiss, I swear it."
Aiden smiled, "okay good. So you don't have feelings for her then?"
Ashley gulped, as she thought about it, did she?
"Ashley?" Aiden asked as he suddenly got nervous at Ashley's sudden change in demeanor.
Ashley shook the thoughts of Spencer out of her head as she refocused on her boyfriend, "sorry spaced out for a minute, I don't have feelings for Spencer," Ashley said as sincerely as she could muster.
Aiden beamed, "great then what's the problem?"
A look of confusion washed over Ashley's face, "what do you mean?"
"Why can't we take that next step? What is stopping you?" Aiden asked as he stood up and began pacing the room.
Ashley tried not to show how hurt she was, was this the only reason he was with her?"
"Well?" Aiden pressed as he stopped in front of her.
Before Ashley had a chance to answer there was a bang on Aiden's bedroom door and an angry looking Clay stormed in.
He looked around the room before his angry eyes landed on Ashley's.
"I need to speak with you," he snapped as he glared at Aiden.
"Dude what the hell?" Aiden all but yelled at his best friend.
"I need to speak with Ashley alone," Clay said dismissing him.
Aiden frowned as he glanced towards Ashley before exiting the room and shutting the door behind him.
"Look Clay before you rip off my head I'm sorry," Ashley mumbled sadness evident in her voice.
"You should be," Clay snapped. "How could you be so cold to her?" He said angrily as he sat next to her on the bed.
Ashley looked away ashamed, "I don't know."
"Bull shit!" Clay yelled at her as he stood up. He tried to control his temper as he sat back down.
Ashley seemed shocked at his outburst, "look this isn't easy on me either."
"Oh boo hoo, you get the boy and Spencer gets humiliated and turned down by the only person in this entire world she ever loved."
Ashley was rendered speechless, "I'm the first person she ever loved?"
"Well duh," Clay snapped.
Ashley let the tears fall freely as she thought about how it felt kissing and holding her best friends in her arms. She had a lot to think about did she even really love Aiden or was it yet another lie?
"You need to fix this," Clay said as he stood up and left leaving Ashley alone with her thoughts.
"Oh and as much as I love my best friend, he only wants sex," Clay said before shutting the door behind him.
Tears welled up in Ashley's eyes as she grabbed her things and bolted for the door and passed a confused looking Aiden.
A/N: So a lot of you wanted me to continue his story so here we go, sorry it took so long for an update I work all the time. Up next Spencer meets someone and maybe Ashley gets a little jealous?
