Chapter summary-Craig is going to give it one more try with Ashley but will she let him back in his life or will it be it for them.
Spinner- So Craig are you going to sit here the rest of the night staring at Ashley or are you going to go over and talk to her?
Craig- I already tried she is dating someone and has no interest in us getting back together.
Jimmy- Ashley not wanting to get back together with you never stopped you before so why should it stop you know?
Craig- because it is different this time the things she said are right we will be far away and I cant ask her to stop living her life to follow me around the country.
Spinner- Yes you can now go ask her and I dont want you back here until you are done.
Jimmy- Yeah because watching you drool over her the whole night isnt going to change anything only you can change the way she feels.
Craig nods takes a deep breath and walks over to Ashley who was talking with Ellie and Sean.
Ellie- Yeah it is cool working in Hollywood. Oh hi Craig
Craig- Hi guys Ashley can I talk to you for a minuet.
Ashley- Well I was talking to Sean and Ellie
Sean- Its okay me and Ellie were going to go over to see Jay and Alex anyway.
Ellie- Yeah see you guys later.
They start to walk away
Craig- Ashley I know you say there is no hope for us but I want there to be I love you more then anything in the world and I cant live without you.
Ashley- Craig thats not fair because you know I love you but I cant just pick up my life and move around the world with you I have a job and a boyfriend.
Craig- How serious? Do you love him?
Ashley- We havent been going out for long but that doesnt change anything I still dont want to hurt him because what if me and him turn into something serious.
Craig- Ashley please dont do this to me you could have the perfect life being with me.
Ashley- Look I tagged along with your band in high school and look how that turned out.
Craig- That was so long ago this isnt high school any more
Ashley- Exactly this isnt some high school fantasy this is real life I have a job and I cant just quit to be with you.
Craig- Why not?
Ashley- Craig I am sorry I love you okay you know I do but there is no future for us even though you want there to be.
Craig- And you dont want a future for us?
Ashley- The only future we will have is us being friends thats all we can be you can call me and when you play concerts by my town you can visit but thats all. We cant be together it would be to stressful and it we break up then I am stuck with nothing I would have to find a new job and I would be heartbroken again.
Craig- There would be no again.
Ashley- You said that last time yeah I know it was so long ago but it doesnt change that you promised me once that we would never break up but we did and I was supportive that you were going to go off and do something that you really loved.
Craig- Please Ashley dont hold this against me it was a long time ago.
Ashley- Craig dont do this please I made my mind up last night that if you wanted us to get back together I was going to do it because I was risking my heart being broken again.
Craig- So there is nothing for us in the future.
Ashley- We can be friends.
Craig- I cant be friends with you I love you to much it would be to painful for me.
Ashley- Fine then be like that but you are acting so childish.
Craig- Look I have to go it was great seeing you again I guess have a nice life.
Ashley- Dont leave like this!
Craig- To late I am.

Emma- Oh I am so sorry Chris.
Chris- Dont be it was for the better trust me. Why do you think you feel out of love with Toby?
Emma- Because there was always that one person that I would deny being in love with but in my heart I knew that I always loved him and I couldnt get over it.
Chris- Anyone I know.
Emma- Maybe
Chris- So do you want to dance or maybe go out to get some fresh air.
Emma- Lets dance
Manny smiled as she looked back at Emma who looked so happy again, then she walked over and said good bye to all of her friends and decided it was time to face her husband.
She drove home and was looking in front of her house she could see her bedroom light on so she knew he was still awake. She walks in.
Mom- Manny how could this happen? You never told him!?
Manny- Mom you know how his parents are I was afraid he would love me.
Mom- you think he loves you right now you lied to him.
Manny- Thanks for making me feel better.
Mom- where are you going?
Manny- to talk to my husband
She walked into her room and saw Javier staring blankly at a wall.
Manny- Javier
Javier- Manny I asked you if wanted to talk about you and Craig and when you said no it was like it was no big deal just a nasty break-up and then I come to find out that you had sex with him and has an abortion.
Manny- I know I was wrong but your parents
Javier- You didnt tell me because of my parents
Manny- Please dont yell you will wake Jasmine up
Javier- if you told me about this maybe I wouldnt have told my parents because I know how they feel about this stuff.
Manny- I was afraid of what you would think of me all through out high school I was called a slut who slept with someone elses boyfriend and –
Javier- wait you slept with Craig while he was dating someone else.
Manny- This is why I didnt want to tell you because this whole thing makes me look so bad and its not the person I am.
Javier- why would you sleep with someone elses boyfriend?
Manny- I liked Craig for a long time and he was upset one night him and Ashley were fighting so it just sort of happened and then I end up pregnant.
Javier- so you have an abortion
Manny- what was I going to do keep it I was 14!
Javier- Then we get married and you never tell me.
Manny- I am trying to forget about the past it was so long ago and I dont want to be haunted by my decisions back then because I wont live in the past I am not going to spend every day thinking about the fact that I made a mistake when I was younger. You want to be mad at me fine but I love you and I dont want you to think of me as a boy friend stealer or a slut who got pregnant and then had an abortion.
Javier- I love you and I would never see you that way.
Manny- (starts to cry) I am sorry okay I just didnt know how to tell you and that it not the way I wanted you to find out.
Javier- Well you cant change the past but we can change the future.
Manny- Javier you arent going to leave me.
Javier- Are you kidding of course not but we are going to have to deal with this.
Manny- There is nothing to deal with that was my past and you are my present and future and I am not worrying about the past anymore.
Javier- Lets go to bed.
Manny- I love you
Javier- I know you do and dont worry my parents never have to know
Manny- good night
