Background: AU, Ashley is an All-American High School softball player for King High. Spencer, the new girl, is also an amazing player; she was the "Best in Ohio" and now is trying out for the team at King High.

Chapter 28:

Ashley couldn't move. She was stuck at the spot she was sitting on her bed. "FUCK!" She screamed.

Kyla rushed into the room. "What's wrong Ash?"

"I fucked up majorly." She fell back into her pillows.

"What did you do?"

"I kissed another girl."

"Oh my, when, why, and where?"

"Last night, cause I was drunk off my ass, and at some party."

"Who was it?"

"Some girl that Brooke brought to our party last week."

"The hot brunette?"

"Uh huh. What do I do Ky? I know I screwed up big time, but I can't let Spencer go. She means too much to me and I don't know how to fix this."

"Well, you're gonna need to make it up big time. But I think you should give her a little bit to cool off first."

"Yeah, considering she walked out on me today."

"Oh, wait, you didn't chase her?"

"No. Was I supposed to."

"Duh Ash! When a girl walks out on you, you dash after them! Don't you know anything about girls?"

"Oh. So I should go over there…"

"Take flowers."

"Gotcha." Ashley got up, "Thanks Ky." And she left.

Before going to the Carlin's, Ashley stopped at the local flower shop and picked up a dozen pink roses.

She got to the Carlin's house and rang the bell. Glen answered.

He looked at Ashley, then at the roses. "Well, guess you got some making up to do. She's in her room."

"Thanks Glen."

He nodded. "Good luck. Spence is a hardhead when it comes to making up."

"That's what I was afraid of."

Ashley walked up the stairs and knocked on Spencer's door.

No answer. She knocked again. Nothing. "Come on Spence, open up."

"Go away Ashley. I just need some time."

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll sit out here till you're ready to talk."

"Why are you so persistent?"

"Because I'm in love with you."

"So in love that you kiss another girl? Gee, you guys must handle relationships totally different in LA than we do in Ohio, cause last time I checked, kissing another girl is cheating and you don't do that to someone you're in love with." She yelled through the door.

"I know! I'm sorry! It was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. I don't want to be with anyone but you. Please know that."

Spencer opened the door. "I trusted you once and you screwed up. What makes you think that I'm going to trust you again?"

"I, I don't know…" Ashley handed the flowers to Spencer. She then looked at the blonde, nodded her head, and turned to walk away. "I'm sorry…"

Spencer let her go. When Ashley was gone, she looked at the pink roses and read the card that was with them.

Spencer,

I know I made a huge mistake, I never meant to hurt you. I'm a screw up. I always seem to mess up the best things in life. Before you, I wasn't the kind to have a relationship. I only wanted to hook up and have fun, but you changed that. You're the one I want. No one else. I think of my life and I don't know where things will take me but in all of my looks into the future, I see you. No matter what else I'm doing, you're the only one I see. I just want you to know I mean all of that these roses signify. Love, Grace, Gentility, You're so Lovely, Perfect Happiness. And the last oneplease believe me. I'm so sorry.

Love, Ashley.

Spencer felt the tears streaming down her face. She didn't notice Glen standing in front of her.

"She loves you Spence." He said.

She looked up and wiped her eyes.

"Look how hard she tried. She knows she messed up. She wants to fix it. Don't push her away. I can't see you this unhappy. You love her; she loves you, that conquers over everything. I wish I had half the love for someone that you have for her. It's amazing. You two couldn't be more perfect for one another and I don't want to see it getting ruined because you pushed her away. Yeah she fucked up big time in kissing someone else but she's only human, and we all make stupid mistakes. You have to move past that. You have to let love work. It's not going to all be easy and simple. If it was, it wouldn't be love."

Spencer, not able to control her tears, nodded and ran to her brother giving him a huge hug. "Thank you Glen."

"Hey, that's what big brothers are for. Now, wash up and go get your girl back."

(AN: Done for now. Let me know what you think.)
