"Hunnie what's wrong?" Ashley moms asked.
"I found out Craig kissed Manny. and he said he would love me forever." Ash replied.
"I am so sorry Ash, now I know that you don't want to hear this, but go talk to him."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I ruin everything!" Craig yelled slamming the door.
"Shh. Craig quite!" Joey said.
"I'm sorry!" Craig said sitting down on the couch.
"Now what's up?" Joey asked.
"When Ash was gone Manny kissed me, and I hated it. Ash found out and the girl I love officially hates me!"
"Wow man your in deep." Joey said.
"Tell me about it." Craig replied.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So did you talk to him?" Paige asked.
"Yes, and please I don't want to talk about it." Ashley replied.
"Okay but just tell us what he said." Hazel said.
"Fine, I told him I knew the he said that it didn't mean anything. I then asked him if he enjoyed it. He said no and the he loved me." Ashley replied.
"Is that the only thing guys know how to say when we catch them in a lie?" Paige asked.
"Yes." Ashley replied putting her books in her locker.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey Paige can I talk to Ash. alone?" Craig asked. Paige and Ash were having burgers at the dot.
"I guess." Paige said standing up.
"What do you want?" Ashley asked Craig who was sitting down.
"I just want to talk, I can't stand you being mad at me, I can't eat or sleep." Craig said.
"Hey Craig." Manny said walking up to the table.
"Manny can you um leave us alone?" Ashley asked.
"I was talking to Craig." Manny said.
"Well I don't car I was talking to him first, just like he was my boyfriend first." Ashley said.
"What is this all about?" Manny asked.
"You know what it's about, just stay away from my boyfriend." Ashley replied.
"Oh you know about the party."
"Yes, and don't make me fight you because I always win." Ash said.
"I wouldn't count on that this time." Manny said.
"It's all your fault Manny." Craig said finally speaking up.
"What?" Manny asked.
"Yes you knew that Craig was upset and you took advantage of him." Ashley said.
"What! No I didn't!" Manny yelled.
Craig didn't say anything until Ashley nudged him.
"Oh yea, you came up to me and said you could keep a secret and that we belonged with each other." Craig said.
Manny started crying and then turned around to leave.
"Does this mean you forgive me?" Craig asked.
"No but it mean I am over never talking to you again thing." Ashley replied.
"Well it's a start." Craig said.
"Yes it is."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"It's just not fair!" Manny yelled.
"I know it's not, but you did get yourself into this mess." Emma said.
"Em, are you taking there side?" Manny asked outraged.
"I'm not taking anyone's side. But you knew Craig and Ash were still together and you did it anyway."
"But Craig was out of line saying it was all my fault!" Manny yelled.
"He was drunk and depressed." Emma replied.
"I can't talk about it anymore. I'm going home." Manny said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey Spinner." Ash said walking up to him at his locker.
"Oh hey Ash, welcome back." Spinner replied.
"Can you do me a favor?" Ashley asked.
"As long as it's not to throw a party."
"Can you tell me what really happened that night, with Manny and Craig?"
"Ash, I mean I am Craig friend I can't rat him out like that." Spinner replied.
"Spin I have to know the whole story or I just might have to break up with him."
"Okay, I'll tell him that he needs to tell you, because it's not my place to tell."
"Wow, Paige really straightened you up." Ash said.
"Well sometimes I go back to my old ways." Spinner said with a smile.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Dude you got to talk to Ash, and tell her the whole story man." Spinner told Craig at band practice.
"I am way to afraid that she will dump me."
"I have a feeling that if you don't tell her, she will dump you, not if you do." "Alright I'll talk to her after practice, but if she dumps me I will have to kill some body." Craig said.
"Okay let's go! 1, 2, 3, 4!" Craig yelled.
Then the door opened,
"Oh crap I'm late! Sorry." Jimmy said walking in.
"You know you were never late for practice until you started dating Hazel." Craig pointed out.
"Sorry I had to go shopping with her. You guys do know the spring formal is in like 2 weeks." Jimmy replied.
"Duh dude!" Spinner said throwing one of his drum sticks at Jimmy and then grabbing one from the pile next to him.
" Are we going to play or talk?" Craig asked.
"Craig chill out!" Marco said.
"I'm sorry I'm just a little overwhelmed. Okay guys lets just cancel practice, I can't play any way." Craig said taking off his guitar and walking out of the garage.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey Ash can we talk?" Craig asked.
"Sure." Ash replied.
"Well it's about everything that's happened."
"Fine go ahead."
"Okay, just let me talk. Okay so Spinner threw a party and he talked me into going. For most of the party I just stood in the corner, not really wanting to be around any one since you had just left. Then Manny came over, she asked me if I wanted to dance, and not wanting to seem completely boring I said okay since well you know. When we were dancing she asked me if I wanted to go and talk in the other room, I said no but she kept pushing it. I told her to get over it and that I had a girlfriend but she told me she wouldn't tell any one. Then she told me that she would break up with Sully and that when you got back I could break up with you and then we could get together. I said no and I told her that I loved you but she kept pushing it. By the end of the night I was so confused and I started drinking. I was walking home and she came up to me and started kissing me. I tried to push her away but I couldn't help it, I was drunk and if I had know what I was doing I would never of done it. I mean I love you Ash." Craig said.
"Okay that was a lot of information. Craig I am not mad at you, I mean sure I am a little upset but really I want to beat the ass off of Manny." Ashley said.
"I found out Craig kissed Manny. and he said he would love me forever." Ash replied.
"I am so sorry Ash, now I know that you don't want to hear this, but go talk to him."
