Hey guys, I'm back and sorry for the delay. I'm just flooded with ideas on how to end this story and maybe even start a sequel to this story. Tell me what you think. And as promised, the three lucky reviewers have a surprise in the chapter. Hope that you all enjoy.

Chapter 25

Ashley's POV

"APOLOGIZE? APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT? GIVING THAT STUPID STANK THE ASS KICKING THAT SHE DESERVED?" Kyla screeches at me. I know I am risking my life right now by asking Kyla to apologize to Tonya but Kyla took it too far by calling the police. Don't get me wrong, I'm not best friends with Tonya; however I do feel sympathy for her after seeing her crying her blue eyes out.

"Kyla can you stop-"

"STOP WHAT ASHLEY? FEELING BETRAYED BY YOU?"

"Betrayed? How can you say that?"

"OH I DON'T KNOW, I DEFEND YOU, OUR HOME, OUR FAMILY AND YOU STICK UP FOR THAT…THAT TRASH!"

"First of all Kyla, no one asked you to defend me I can take care of myself!"

"Yeah, the same way you took care of yourself when you almost overdosed on drugs!"

I can't help but feel hurt that she brought my past into the argument; I lose eye contact with Kyla who sees the hurt in my body gesture. She walks closer to touch my arm but I pull away before she even has a chance.

"Ash….that….I didn't mean it like that."

"There is a good way for you to bring my past up in my face like that?"

"Ashley I would never try to hurt you…I was ju—"

"Just hurt? Feeling like I turned my back on you? Well I can feel the same way by what you just did."

Kyla moves in to touch my arm again but I moves away. I can feel the water burning my eyes as tears form, but they aren't because I'm sad, it's all hurt and anger.

"You know what Kyla? I made a stupid mistake when I was younger and I pay for it every day."

"Ash—"

"Don't interrupt me!" I say to Kyla so that she understand that I have to speak. "You may not have meant to hurt me but you acting like you have to protect me from everything is pretty annoying… is Tonya a bitch? Of course she is. Am I going to be best friends with her after everything that happened? Hell no! But she's Spencer's sister, and I plan on spending the rest of my life with her…. Spencer and I have been so much and we're getting better, but you calling the police on Tonya and kicking her ass isn't going to make our relationship easy."

"So what do you want me to do Ashley? Act like the past is the past."

"THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS KYLA! THE PAST!" I yell out of frustration, I look at Kyla who seems hurt and I decide to lower my voice. "I'm sorry for yelling, but dwelling on the past isn't helping anyone. I just need you, as my sister, to not cause problems. Please? When do I ever ask you for anything?"

Kyla doesn't say anything to me as she leaves the room. Am I wrong for asking her to get along with Tonya? After all, I'm the one who took the drugs from Tonya, not her and if I can forgive her and take responsibility for my actions, why can't Kyla just leave it alone. Deciding not to focus on the situation, I look at my phone to see the time…. Shit I'm an hour late! I need to get to the radio station for my interview… that right! Ashley Davies has an interview with the ELVIS DURAN SHOW! I know, it feels so surreal but soooo amazing. I just hope that I don't make a fool of myself.

Chance's POV

It's official. My morning ballet class hates me. Now I know it's hard to know when someone hates you, but when you're locked out of the morning studio and no one will let you in, you pretty much get the picture. Plus, by the dirty looks I get on campus says enough. I'm just stressed out beyond belief with dance, working at the club and the studio I feel like I'm going to override my body. I just need to reschedule some things, maybe I can dj only on Saturdays instead of the whole weekend…who am I kidding? I love that place and I always need the extra cash…. What if I teach only three days out the week…wait, that won't work either…. I love that dance class and—

"So I was thinking that we should do a quickie in the car." Whoa! I look up at Chelsea who is giggling at how fast she got my attention. "What are thinking about so hard?"

"It's nothing." I say taking a bite of my chicken salad. I wanted to take Chelsea to lunch to get my mind off of everything, but I just keep thinking about it more. Chelsea moves her chair closer to me and plays with the few loose strands of hair that are around my face.

"Still thinking about this dance class?"

"Just everything, I'm just so stretched out with everything that it's hard for me to stay focused with anything."

"Have you ever thought about quitting something?"

"Though about it, but I know that I can't quit dance…it's my life. And quitting the club would really kill my cash flow."

"Baby, I'm sure that whatever you decide to do will work out."

"I hope so, I just can't be on campus tonight everyone is talking about me and I can't handle the whispers right now. Do you think your parents would mind me staying at your place for the night?"

As soon as I said that, Chelsea's body language changes, her hand is no longer caressing my face and the vibe changes. Chelsea is no longer looking at me, but is not focusing on a loose thread at the bottom of my skirt.

"I would love that but I don't think that it's possible. "

"Oh… did I do something wrong?" I really hope I didn't say or do the wrong thing because I love Chelsea's parents.

"No! No… they love you… it's just that some friends of theirs is coming over for dinner tonight."

"Oh, maybe you can just ask if I can come over later."

Chelsea takes a sip of her drink and doesn't make any eye contact with me. Something isn't right.

"Babe, you know I can tell when something is up, so please tell me what's wrong."

"It's nothing…I don't want to stress you out."

''Stress me out? Babe, it's stressing me out that you aren't telling me what's wrong."

I take my hand and place it under her chin so that I can turn her face towards me.

"Okay…" she finally says while looking into my eyes. " They aren't just coming for dinner… they're bringing their son Adam."

"And?"

"And our parents are trying to set us up."

"Set you up? Like… like a date?"

Chelsea gives me a head nod and suddenly I have lost my appetite, I break eye contact with her, just the fact that she's going to be with this kid…I don't even want to talk about it.

"Baby, it doesn't mean anything… I'm just doing this for my parents."

"Look can we just go? I'll drop you off at home." I say putting enough money on the table to cover the bill and leave a tip. I don't even wait for Chelsea to get up, or check to see if she is following me as I head to the car. Wow, she's had more than enough oppurnity to tell me and she tells me now? She gets into the car shortly after and I speed off as soon as she closes the door. The only thing that is keeping silence from filling the air is the music from the radio. About thirty minutes later, I pull up to her house and turn off the engine. We both sit in silence for quite a while until I decide to speak.

"Were you even going to tell me if I hadn't have asked you if I can stay tonight?"

"Honestly?"

"Well I certainly don't want another lie."

"No."

"Wow… so you're going on a date with a boy and you don't think it's important to tell your girlfriend? Nice one Chels."

"Chance it wasn't like that. You've been going through a lot lately and I didn't want to upset you."

"Well you didn't do a good job at that." I say coldly. I can feel Chelsea touching my hand but I pull away before looking at her face.

"I don't even want to go."

"So then don't go."

"I can't."

"Why not?" I ask as I'm frustrated with the situation.

"Because…my parents… they keep asking why I haven't dated anyone since Clay and I feel like they're suspecting something."

Wow…it all makes sense now. I look at her Chelsea and I couldn't help but laugh, trust me I'm not crazy and I don't find this funny. I'm laughing out of anger.

"I get it… you're too afraid to let your parents know that we're together and you're using the date as your cover."

"Chance… please say that you understand."

"I understand Chels, that you're embarrassed by me."

"What? No! Can you not think that way?"

"How can I not Chels? You're going on a date with some dick and you expect me to be okay with it?"

"I'm new at this okay? I don't even know if I'm gay or not."

"So I'm an experiment?"

"No! Stop twisting my words. Maybe we can talk tonight when I come home."

Chelsea leans in to kiss me but I turn my cheek, letting her know that this is not okay.

"Have fun on your date Chels."

I couldn't look at her face because if I did I would have said something that I would regret later on. I hear the car door close and I drive off back to the dorm, thinking to myself 'Could anything get worse?'

Spencer's POV

"Spencer! Spencer can you move your skinny ass in here already?" Tonya yells at the top of her lungs. I have no idea why she's yelling when I'm right behind her; I wouldn't miss this for the world. My Ashley, the love of my life, is going to have a live interview with Elvis Duran and not only is it going to be on the radio, but broadcast live on the internet. She's been working so hard and I couldn't be any more proud of her. I talked to her before she went got her call to go into the studio and I can tell that she is nervous. Even if she swears that Ashley Davies doesn't get nervous. I'm sure she will wow them with that killer smile and sexy raspy voice. I sit down next to Tonya who seems more excited than me.

"What are you so excited about?"

"Um hello? Ashley is wearing one of my designs that I'm working on. I have to see how it looks on camera."

I roll my eyes and turn the volume up when I hear Elvis's voice.

"We are live on the air and online with Ashley Davies!" Elvis says which makes the whole room cheer. "I can see Ashley's cheeks turning bright red, which is just too adorable. "Now if you're like Scary and you haven't been on the internet, then you must not know who Ashley Davies is."

"Hey! It's not my fault that I'm not the internet all the time." Scary says.

"Of course not Scary." Danielle says while rolling her eyes. "Doesn't it suck when people don't know who you are by now Ashley, I mean you're an internet sensation now?"

"Actually, it doesn't bother me. If someone hasn't heard my music by now, it's not a big deal." Ashley says in a low raspy voice.

"But I'm sure that you're getting recognized on the streets now." Elvis says

"Oh, I've had a few people stop and stare at me but few people actually come up to me and ask me for an autograph."

"Do you think that's weird? That people that you don't know want an autograph or picture or a lock of hair?" Elvis asks jokingly even making me chuckle.

"No, I don't find it weird and I guess it's because of my dad. He has fans all over the world and when we used to go out people used to ask him to do that kind of stuff all the time so it really doesn't bother me."

I just love how confidence and professional she is, she is such a natural at this.

"Well that's good; you're not the other rock stars that blow off their fans." Carolina injects suddenly.

"Of course not, I don't believe that I have fans but I'm not going to turn down anyone who wants to spare a minute of my time."

"Trust me sweetie, you have fans because they are blowing up my twitter." Elvis says looking through his IPhone. "They have so many questions, and I know that this is last minute but would you mind answering some of their questions and we'll jump back into the interview?"

"No not at all."

"Alright, three lucky people will have their questions answered so let's get on with this. Xpedx wants to know: Has music always been something thing that you wanted to pursue or is it just a hobby?"

"Music has always been a big part of my life and I use it as a therapy in a way to get out how I feel, but I've always wanted to do something with music, if I was singing or writing music for other artists out there."

"Very nice, like Keri Hilson in a way." Scary says out of nowhere.

"I guess you can say that." Ashley says giggling at Scary's random comment. I can see everyone rolling their eyes.

"Just ignore him Ashley. Act like he isn't even here." Danielle says making the whole room laugh. "Let's just get to the next question."

"That's right." Elvis says "crazykrew says: Ashley, you are unbelievably gorgeous. Please tell me that you're single." The whole room awes and I can even see Ashley's beautiful smile.

"Um.. actually, I'm not single and every much taken." Ashley says. I'm so happy that she isn't going to hide our relationship and people know that she is unattainable.

"Ashley I hope you know that you are breaking a lot of hearts out there." Elvis says. "Who is the lucky guy?"

"Actually Elvis, the lucky girl is Spencer Carlin and she is the love of my life." Omg did she really say that?

"So you play for the other team?" Carolina asks Ashley.

"Yeah I do and I'm proud of it!"

The whole room applauds and even Scary makes a comment. I can't help but laugh at everyone's reaction and Tonya's facial expression at the commotion going on.

"Now is this a real relationship or is this sexuality thing just an experiment…" Danielle says, I can tell that Ashley takes offense to the question even though she isn't trying to show it.

"Defiantly not an experiment or fling. My parents knew I was gay when I would always try to look up my pre-school teacher's skirt."

Did she really say that? I swear that girl says whatever is on her mind.

"But on a serious note, I have never met someone that I connect with so well. She's basically the reason why I wanted to take music more serious because she is just a breathtaking inspiration."

I can feel my face turning a bright shade of red and I hear Tonya snort as she looks at me.

"Could she be any more of a cheese ball?"

"Could you be any more jealous?" I say sticking my tongue out at Tonya who puts her hand in my face playfully. We look back at the interview, because I don't want to miss a second of this."

"You hear that listeners, Ashley Davies's heart is taken. She even has that same glow that her father had when he spoke about your mother."

"By the way, how is your mom? Is she still smoking hot?" Scary asks in a perverted way.

"Gosh Scary can you not perv on my mom?" Ashley says rolling her eyes.

"I'm just saying, in a couple of months I might be your new step dad."

"Sorry to break it to you Scary but once you had a dose of the Davies, you tend not to downgrade after that."

Nice comeback babe!

"And that should shut Scary up for the rest of the interview." Elvis says going through his phone. "And the last question comes from FFReviews: Heard your demo and I love it. Are you just gonna be an internet icon or actually sign with a real record label?"

"Wow, that's something I hadn't really thought about. Right now I've been putting everything on hold because I don't want to be caught up in too much of the hype, but my amazing manager is on my case all the time. I know I have some offers that I'm sure about but whatever I choose to do, I will always make music."

"Nicely said rock star. I think that's all the time we have because Ashley has to go back to being admired by all, but I want to thank you for putting up with Scary and his stupid comments." Elvis says asking Ashley chuckle lightly.

"Oh I have a best friend who says the same things Scary does so I'm used to it."

It's true, Aiden does say some dumb stuff.

"Can we set them up on a play date? Get the both of them out of our hairs?" Carolina jumps in.

"I think we could make that happen."

"Anything you'd like to say before we wrap this up?"

"I want to thank every single person that is not only listening to this interview but listens to my music. Also, Spencer Carlin, good luck at your audition tomorrow. I'll see you before you go on. I love you."

"Spencer Carlin, you are one loved woman. This has been the Elvis Duran Morning show with Ashley Davies. Thank you for listening to…." Elvis says pointing to Ashley to finish the sentence.

"Y100!" Ashley says excitedly. She looks at the camera and gives it a wink before the camera cuts off.

"Alright Spencer, you watched the interview. Now let's head to the studio so you can practice." My mom says while standing in the doorway.

Damn where did she come from? Don't you hate it when people sneak up on you?

"Can I just call Ashley for a second?"

"No Spencer, we got to get going. Just send her a text message like a normal teenager." My mother says before exiting the room. As I get up, I pull up my phone to send her a text message that will surely make her smile.

Me: I love you too baby

Ashley's POV

As I exit the radio station I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I take it out to see Spencer's name on the screen. I wonder how she was able to text me with her audition with IDA tomorrow.

Spencer: I love you too

She actually listened to the show? Awe, she's so sweet. Even though she's going through a lot with the auditions and wrapping up her senior year, she still made time to listen to it. I couldn't ask for more of an amazing girlfriend. Anyways, being on the air was a little intimidating at first but once we started going around it was great, I think I could get used to this. I'm on my way to a meeting with Ian who says he has great news for me, but honestly could my day get any better? I went from fighting with Kyla to hanging out with Elvis Duran.

I get to the studio an hour later, mainly because I had to stop and get coffee. It doesn't usually take me that long but people kept stopping me to ask for autographs which is still new to me, I don' t know how my dad can do this all day. When I walk into the studio, Ian was there with all smiles and hugs congratulating me on the interview.

"Ashley Davies, you are a goddess!" Ian says.

"If I didn't know any better Ian, I'd say that you were hitting on me."

"No way, besides you totally belong with Spencer."

"Yeah and all of L.A. knows that now."

"And soon the whole world. So I got some exciting news."

"I would hope that it was good news, I would hate to have driven my ass down here for bad news." I say taking a seat on the couch.

"Nah, I would have called you. That way you wouldn't have a chance to kill me."

Very smart guy.

"Okay so what's this exciting news."

"Well tomorrow you don't have to come to the studio to work on material."

"That's always exciting news."

"But there's more." Ian says with this big smile plastered on his face.

"Ian when you smile like that you look like a child molester."

"Oh bite me Ash, can you just let me tell you the exciting news."

"Fine, tell me." I say trying to hide my excitement.

"You, Ashley Davies, will be performing at the House of Blues tomorrow night."

"…."

"Ashley please say something."

"How… how did you manage to pull that off?"

"Some artist had to pull out last minute due to the stomach flu, and being the amazing manager that I am, I got you the opening."

I get up and jump on Ian as he turns me around. In case you live on another planet. The House of Blues in the hottest stop for upcoming artist to get their start in the music business.

"You're right! You are amazing!" I say as Ian places me down.

"I've been telling you this for the longest. Now this is gonna go by pretty fast. You have sound check at eight in the morning."

"Scratch that. You would have been an awesome manager if you would have gotten me a later sound check."

Ian ignores my comment and keeps telling me my schedule.

"Well it was either take the early sound check or miss Spencer's audition tomorrow."

"Now you're back to being an amazing manager."

"Make sure you're at the House of Blues by seven to check in. You go on at nine."

"Ian this is huge!"

"I know, soon you'll want to trade me in for a big time manager/producer."

"Never that Ian."

Like I said, Could my day get any better?

Tonya's POV

I have exactly one week until my collection has to be presented. And I still have to figure out music, do a dress rehearsal, and hair and makeup. Even though I'm stressed beyond the point of no return, I like the past pace that I'm going out. Maybe this could be in my calling cards, I wouldn't mind being a fashion designer. I get to Ashley's house who assured me that I won't be attacked by her crazy sister. I take the spare key and make my way to the sewing room, which had a surprise waiting for me.

"Kyla?" I say quietly. I'm a little nervous, what if she wants to do more damage? What if she ruined my stuff? I automatically kneel down into a little protective ball. I can hear her footsteps getting closer as she shadow is over me.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"Protecting myself. Whatever you do don't hurt my face."

"Can you get up?" She says extending her hand. I look at her confusion and fright. "It's my hand, it can't do anything to you."

"Besides punch my lights out."

I wait a few minutes and finally take her hand as she pulls me up.

"I don't like you." She finally says after being silent for a while.

"Well, I don't care for people who attack me out of nowhere. But I can't say that I didn't deserve it…. Kyla, I'm sorry for hurting your family and putting Ashley in that situation. I was a stupid kid and I made a stupid decision. I'm sorry."

"As much as I want to put all the blame on you, I can't."

"Am I being punk'd?"

Kyla laughs at my comment. Seriously, am I being punk'd? Is Ashton going to pop out with cameras? Wait, it'll probably be some celebrity now. Maybe it will be Chad Michael Murray. He is so hot.

"No… I will never like you Tonya but it wasn't your entire fault. Ashley had a choice that night and she chose to do what she did. If I'm going to blame you then I have to blame her too, and that's kinda hard to do because I love my sister to death."

"I know and I'm still sorry for what I did."

"Let's just move on past that because if things keep happening the way they are, we might end up being in each other families."

"Scary…"

"I know. So we agree that we don't like each other, but will get along for the sake of our sisters?"

"I can deal with that."

"Good, now fair warning, the second machine tends to jam so don't use that one."

Kyla says before walking out the room. What is this weird feeling? Like a relief, that I no longer have to worry about getting my ass kicked when I come to work on my line. I kind of like it.

"Oh and Tonya?" Kyla says turning around. I turn to look at her, to see what she wants.

"If you ever put my sister in harm again. You will so regret it." Kyla walks away humming a creepy song. As I make my way in the sewing room I wonder, how can someone so small be so scary?
