Craig ran up the steps to Ashley's house and banged his fist on the door.
"Coming," he heard Ashley's mom, Kate say.
She opened the door. "Craig?" she asked. "What brings you over?"
"Where's Ashley?" he asked, he held a copy of the Grapevine out to her. She took it and skimmed it.
"ASHLEY!" Kate yelled up the stairs.
"What?" Ashley yelled back.
"Come downstairs for a minute."
Ashley walked out of her room and down the stairs. She saw Craig. "What do you want?" she asked.
"What is the deal with this?" Craig asked, holding up the Grapevine.
Ashley looked at it and shrugged. "Eye catching isn't it?" she asked.
"Ashley, this was low!" he said.
"Ashley, did you write this?" Kate asked.
"Write what?" Rick asked, walking in. Kate ushered him out of the room and let him read the article. She looked at Ashley for an answer.
"Yes, I did," Ashley said.
Craig looked at her. Craig looked at it. "What's your problem, Ash?" he asked.
"You love her more than you love me," she said. "This is just like what happened last year."
"Last year was nothing, Ashley," Craig replied.
"You slept with Manny!"
"I know! It was wrong!"
She looked at him, her eyes filled with tears. He looked back at the article. "And for your information," he said. "Get the facts straight. She didn't steal me from you. I walked away. Just like I'm doing right now." He dropped the paper and turned and walked out of the house. Ashley sat down on the steps.
"Ashley, we have to talk about this," Kate said. Ashley shrugged.
