SPENCER'S P.O.V
"Hey honey how are you?"
"Hey Bobby"
Bobby owns the convenience store a couple of blocks down from the bar.
"Busy night sweetie?"
I walk over and grab the cold and flu tablets off the shelf.
"Yer Thursday's are always busy"
I hand Bobby the packet and grab some change out of my pocket.
"Just that thanks Bobby"
"Awww honey are you not feeling well?"
"No it's Zara she's got the flu"
It's just after two in the morning and I'm exhausted.
The bar was crazy tonight.
"There you go honey"
"Thanks Bobby have a good night"
"You to honey"
Bobby's a sweet guy.
He's owned this store for years.
"Hey"
The second I stepped outside the store I bumped into her.
"Hey"
It's freezing but I can't just ignore her and walk off.
"Are you getting sick?
"No these are for Zara"
"Ohhhh"
She's acting kind of strange.
"Spencer are we alright?"
"Yer why wouldn't we be?"
"I just..."
She seems nervous.
"It's nothing"
"Okay"
She's staring.
"Ashley are you alright?"
"Yer i'm fine"
"Did something happen?"
"No nothing happened"
"Okay"
She's acting really strange.
"Ashley are you sure everything's alright?"
"Yer tonight's just been weird"
Something's clearly bothering her.
"Look Spencer i've been in New York for three weeks now"
Has it really only been three weeks?
It seems so much longer.
"And we've been fooling around since I got here"
"Ashley are you trying to tell me you don't want to fool around anymore?"
"No I just..."
Now she's making me nervous.
"Look Spencer I shouldn't have done what I did tonight"
She doesn't owe me an explanation.
"Is this about that girl again?"
"Yer"
"Ashley you don't need to explain yourself to me"
"I know but I want us to be friends"
This is a side of Ashley i've never seen before.
"But Spencer friends don't treat eachother the way I treated you tonight"
"Ash it's really not that big of a deal"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive"
"You'd tell me if it was right?"
"Probably not"
She's smiling.
"Look Ashley it's sweet that you're worried about me but we had a deal"
It's sweet that she cares.
"You don't need my permission to hook up with someone else and you really don't need to feel bad when you do"
"Okay then can we just forget I mentioned it?"
"We can do that"
I force a smile so she knows i'm not lying.
"Well I should probably head back and give Zara these"
"Yer of course"
"Night"
"Night"
I really need to sleep.
"SPENCER?"
I'm a good ten metres away when she yells out my name.
"Yer?"
I stop walking and turn so i'm facing her.
"I've got tomorrow off do you want to go grab lunch?"
That doesn't sound like a bad idea.
"As friends of course"
Why does she keep throwing the friend thing in?
"I like food so lunch sounds like a brilliant idea"
"Okay well I'll see you tomorrow then"
"Night"
"Night"
