Ashley:
No, I'll tell you. (puts a seriously look on her face) Freshman year,
like I said, I started things with Aiden. Well, Madison and I were
like best friends. I don't know, I guess I kind of started to like
her. I know, that's pretty disgusting, but she found out one day
about my so called 'crush' on her and --
Spencer:
How?
Ashley:
It slipped! (sighs) We were hanging out at my house and for some
reason; we started to have a pillow fight. We were hitting each other
with the pillows and laughing and having a great time, and then I got
it in my head to tackle her off the bed. So -- I did. And when we hit
the floor, I was on top of her and we just looked at each other and I
--
Spencer:
You what?
Ashley:
I kissed her. (relief spread across her face) Ugh, that was
definitely one of my biggest mistakes of all time.
Spencer:
Oh, so that's why she hates you?
Ashley:
Yeah, most of her hatred has to do with that.
Spencer:
Was this before or after the whole 'Aiden-thing'?
Ashley:
Before. After that, she swore that she'd tell the whole school I was
a queer. And at the time, my reputation was a big deal for me.
Spencer:
So, you got with Aiden to try and cover up your mistake with Madison?
Ashley:
Yep. I figured that'd fix everything. But, it only made matters
worse. Things got a little out of control and I decided that I should
go as far as possible with him – just to show Madison how
'un-fag-like' I was.
Spencer:
And then the miscarri --
Ashley:
Yeah. That's a time in my life when I knew that I would never be the
same. So, I figured I'd just change my entire lifestyle. I tried it
with a girl and it just clicked for me. (sighs and looks at the
detailing on the steering wheel) And you now know the autobiography
of Ashley Davies.
Spencer:
That's rough, Ashley. I'm sorry.
Ashley:
Don't be, it's not your fault.
There was a thick silence in the air for a while. Ashley was reliving the moment and Spencer was trying to imagine it.
Ashley:
Yeah, let's just go home and hit up the TV and microwave.
Spencer:
Yeah, that'd probably be best.
They pull out of the movie store parking lot and once again, headed off to their Point B
+ASHLEY'S HOUSE+
Ashley:
Which movie should we watch first?
Spencer:
Hmmm, maybe we should watch (points to one of the movies) that one.
Ashley:
Oh, good choice.
So she pops in the movie and as they're watching it, the movie starts off with a loud crack of thunder. Spencer screamed and then, when she noticed Ashley was looking at her with an "I can't believe you just screamed" look on her face, she blushed.
Spencer:
See, I told you I get scared easily.
Ashley:
(scoots closer to Spencer) Well, you shouldn't have to. No one is
going to hurt you. I promise.
Spencer:
I know, it was just that sudden boom that scared me.
Ashley:
(laughs) You're too cute, Spencer. more like perfect
Spencer:
Well, (sighs) I try. just for you, anyway
The two of them sat together watching the movie. And every now and then, Ashley would feel Spencer's body tense up when the scene would get scary and to calm her down, Ashley would lightly squeeze her hand and tell her "It's alright". About an hour in to the movie, Spencer started to get restless.
Ashley:
What's wrong?
Spencer:
Huh? Oh, nothing. I just --
Ashley:
What?
Spencer:
I don't really want to watch the rest.
Ashley:
Okay. (turns off the movie) What do you want to do then?
Spencer:
Well, just -- not this.
Ashley:
Oh. (tilts head down with a hurtful look in her eyes)
The tone in Ashley's voice was that of disappointment.
Spencer:
No, you took it the wrong way.
Ashley:
Well, what way should I have taken it?
Spencer:
I didn't mean I didn't want to be here with you, I meant the whole
movie thing. It just seems that we have more fun when there aren't
any distractions. You know?
Ashley:
Oh. Yeah! I do like just talking to you better. For the past hour or
so, all I've said to you was 'It's okay', and I don't know about
you, but that just isn't enough.
Spencer:
I know. So, do you want to go for a walk? Maybe a swim?
Ashley:
(raising one eyebrow at the sound of "swim") I most
definitely could go for a swim.
Spencer:
Alright, but hey -- I didn't bring over my suit.
Ashley:
Oh it's okay. You can wear that one that you looked hot in.
Spencer:
Oh yeah, the Ashley Davies Original one?
Ashley:
That's the one! Here. (opens her dresser and pulls it out) Now, which
one should I wear?
Spencer takes three steps towards the dresser, looks around and digs through hundreds of suits, then pulls one out.
Spencer:
This one. I don't know why, but it just does something for me.
Ashley:
Well, it that case, (digs through the suits) wear this one.
Sorry, guys/girls, but – I'm going to be gone for the weekend and this is all I can give you for right now! I'll be sure and update as soon as possible! Later…
