Chapter fourteen: Time To Say Goodbye

Ashley walked along the snowy road her hands buried deep inside her pockets. She knew where she was going, inside her pocket she clutched the reason for what she was about to do. She had to make things right for Paige and set one more person's mind at ease. As she came upon the house she took a deep breath watching her breath float off into the air. She climbed the stairs up to the front door. She rang the buzzer. She stood there waiting for someone to answer after a few minutes the door finally opened.

"Hello," said a familiar voice. Ashley just looked at him.

"Hi spin,"

"Ashley what are you doing here?"

"Can I come in?" It was cold outside and she was beginning to shiver. Spinner nodded and opened the door wider.

"What are you doing here?" He asked her finally once they were seated in the living room.

"I came to show you something," Ashley pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket. "It's from Paige's diary" she said softly.

"Should I really being reading it then?" Spinner said giving her an odd look. "We broke up that's' it end of story."

"No that's why you need to read it." Ashley handed him the piece of paper he scanned each entry shuddering as he read tears formed at his eyes as he fought to keep them away. He stopped and started crying. Ashley knew why.

"I broke up with spinner. If I didn't I just would have hurt him I cried for 4 hours straight after I did. I will never forgive myself."

"She didn't want to break up with you spin," Ashley said looking at him. "She still loved you" Spin broke down crying when she said that. Ashley went over and hugged him.

"There somewhere I need to go will you come?" Spinner said after a few minutes. Ashley nodded.

"Sure" The two of them got up and left the house. Ashley had an idea of where they might be going. But she just followed his lead and said nothing. When they got there he put the piece of paper in his pocket and opened the gate. It was quiet and calm as the two of them walked along side each other. Spinner stopped and knelt down in front of Paige's grave.

"Hi Paige," Spinner said softly. "I understand now why you broke up with me I just wish you could have felt you could trust me. I will always love you…" He voice trailed off. Ashley knelt down beside him.

"I love you too Spinner" Spinner and Ashley looked up they had felt her. The wind had picked up and was brushing their faces. "Thank you, Ashley. You set me free from that monster. Thanks for explaining to spin. Thanks…for everything."

"Your welcome Paige…" Ashley said to her self.

"Goodbye…" Paige stood there looking at Spinner and Ashley she wished more then anything things could have ended differently but she was glad that monster was in jail and Spinner knew how she really felt. The only thing she really wanted was to give him one last kiss…
