Chapter 25: Greatness Takes Time

Five months since Spencer made her choice. Five months with out speaking to each other. Five months with out looking into each other's eyes. Five months with out interaction. Five long grueling months with hurtful lies on Spencer's part and pain on Ashley's part.

Spencer was now with Jared. They've been dating for four of those five months. Her friends and family see them as the perfect couple. He's the ideal guy. Tall, muscular, well kempt black hair, with grey eyes. Spencer wouldn't deny that he was a catch but she knew she wanted someone else. She's been living a lie for five months and she wasn't happy of what she'd done to Ashley those many months ago. She just didn't want to risk losing her family so she stayed with Jared, while living her lie.

Ashley wasn't doing wonderful. She to was not happy. She cut from time to time. Kyla was not aware of her cutting. She started slutting around and sleeping with different girls every other night. She went clubbing constantly at got drunk on countless occasions. She was slowly throwing her life away for this girl that didn't want her. Why was she doing such things? Spencer, was the only person besides her father that she had put all her trust in and losing that hurt her. It was like losing her father all over again. It hurt. Even though she wanted more out of the friendship they once had, she would be ok with being just friends. It hurt not to have Spencer and it was a pain she knew she couldn't endure much longer.

Maybe this time away from each other helped, because things do grow over time. Love, care, trust, it all grows as time goes by. Maybe this time away from Ashley made Spencer realize that life is hell without the brunette and the same for Ashley. Maybe it made each of them realize their true feelings and that they're better off together then apart. Everything great only became great over time. All of the 'great' people weren't born with such a title. They worked their way to it with their nature, their being. It took time. No matter if it was a short amount or long amount the greatness was reached and the clock ticking away made that possible. Great things took time to become well great.

It was around 2am Saturday morning. Ashley was out partying and Kyla sat on the couch awaiting her arrival. She was sick and tired of Ashley's behavior. She was cold and a down right bitch to everyone. Kyla has had enough of the older girl's idiotic out of control behavior, so she sat on the couch waiting until she stumbled through the door so she could finally give her a piece of her mind.

About thirty minutes later Ashley loudly stumbled through the front door. She began to lag herself to the kitchen while giggling quietly. She passed by the living room and saw Kyla sitting on the couch arms crossed and glaring at her. Ashley laughed and began to wave at Kyla.

Ashley: "Heyyyyyyyyyy Kyla."

Kyla: "Ashley shut up."

Ashley looked at her confusingly.

Ashley: "What I do?"

Kyla: "Want me to tell you what you did or what you've been doing." Kyla rose from the couch and made her way over to where Ashley was standing and got in her face. "All you do now is get drunk and get laid. Stop this ok! I'm tired of seeing you drunk off your ass and you've become a whore! Fucking stop!"

Ashley just looked at her with amusement written on her face and pointed at the now fuming Kyla.

Ashley: "Ha ha you spit Kylaaaaa."

Kyla: "Ashley, I am tired of your shit. By acting like this you will lose everyone and not have anyone. You will meet someone like Spencer again Ash, it just takes time."

This sobered Ashley up as she looked at Kyla like she was psychotic.

Ashley: "Are you crazy?! Meet someone else like Spencer?! Ha you are hilarious Ky really I give it to ya."

At this point Ashley was clapping and walking away.

Kyla: "Wait! Why can't you compare her to anyone else Ash?"

Ashley just stayed with her back facing Kyla.

Ashley: "It's just no one can relate to her. You won't understand."

Ashley once again began walking away but Kyla caught her wrist this time. Ashley sucked in a breath of air and Kyla quickly extracted her hand and with that hand she covered her mouth and gasped.

Kyla: "Please tell me you didn't."

Ashley just lowered her head and looked at the floor.

Kyla: "Ash come here."

Kyla grabbed Ashley and pulled her into a hug.

Ashley: "I just miss her Ky. A lot."

Kyla: "Ash you don't need to do all this to yourself. Just talk to her and tell her how you feel."

Ashley: "I can't do that Ky."

Kyla pulled back and looked at Ashley with pleading eyes.

Kyla: "Will you at least talk to me?"

Ashley sighed and nodded her head as she wiped away the few tears that had fallen. Kyla smiled and led her to the couch she had occupied minutes ago. Ashley sat away from Kyla. She just sat there with her feet flat on the ground, her elbows on her knees, and head in her hands. Kyla sat there patiently waiting for Ashley to start. Ashley sighed and lifted her head, looking straight ahead at the black tv screen.

Ashley: "I just really miss her. She was the only person besides you and Aid who I cared for so much." Ashley looked at Kyla with tears in her eyes and spoke in a broken voice. "I still do care for her. She's the first person who made me feel alive. I was dead all those years until she came and just opened my eyes. Gawd her eyes. I miss those the most. They are the most beautiful shade of blue." Ashley smiled. "You know that's my favorite color. Spencer blue. I've tried so hard over these past few months to find anything remotely similar to the blue of her eyes and nothing even comes close."

Kyla: "Ash just talk to her."

Ashley: "Kyla, I have nothing to say to her. It's obvious she doesn't care for me as much as I believed. Everything she told was a lie. She said she would never leave me Ky. She said she would hold me for the rest of my life and here I am a throwing my life away and she's not here. She promised Ky."

Kyla watched as her sister once again put her head in her hands. She watched as the cries escaped her lips, as her body moved up and down. Kyla scooted over closer to Ashley and began to rib her back. Ashley looked up and with her mascara running. This is the worst that Kyla has ever seen Ashley. Yeah she's seen her wasted, drugged up, and all but she's never seen her so broken hearted.

Ashley: "She promised. Why isn't she here? I need her so much."

Kyla just pulled Ashley into her and rested the sobbing girl's head onto her shoulder. She ran her hands up and down her back to calm her down.

Kyla: "Ash she's scared. You need to understand that. I understand what you're saying, she should be here right now and it was careless of her to walk out on you but do you even know her side of the story. Do you even know if something happened? You don't. Both of you guys just silently decided not to talk to one another. No one explained anything. She didn't tell her story and you didn't tell yours. Just talk to her. Do something for her. Get her back Ash. Let her know that you are worth that big risk she's so afraid of. Let her know that you understand how she feels."

Ashley: "I have had this idea running through my head for awhile."

Kyla pulled back from Ashley leaving her hands on the girls shoulders. She sat there smiling urging her to continue.

Ashley: "I thought maybe if I sang a song to her or something. It would let her know that I understand because I do know how it feels. It's scary. I mean I do I have a lot written and she is the only person I've been writing about but there is this like one song that umm yeah."

Kyla: "Ash! That would be great!"

Ashley shyly looked down.

Ashley: "I mean it's just...I umm...I need...help you know."

Kyla smiled goofily at her sister.

Kyla: "I would love to help Ash."

Ashley looked up at Kyla with a huge grin spread across her face.

Ashley: "Really?"

Kyla: "Yes, silly."

Ashley: "Ok."

The two stayed sitting there planning to get Spencer back, or to at least talk to Ashley.

As the two sister's sat on the couch talking and laughing another Davies sleepily stood in her night apparel smiling at her two daughters. Even though the two had rudely awoken her with their loudness, Christine Davies was happy to see her two daughters happy. Especially Ashley because she hasn't seen the girl smile the very few days she is home. She smiled at them and even though in she hadn't spoken her love for the two aloud in years she knew she did and in time she knew she would have to let them know that. She just didn't know how they would take it as she had been absent most of the time and made it seem like she didn't care, but she did and she wanted to have a great mother-daughter relationship with the two.

Greatness takes time...
