ASHLEY'S P.O.V
When we walked into Roadhouse Bryce came over straight away.
So I excused myself and walked over to the bar.
"Hey"
"Hi"
I have no interest in picking up tonight.
But if I did I'd strongly consider this girl.
"I'm Bree"
"Ashley"
"It's nice to meet you"
"You to"
This girl's actually really attractive.
"Are you from around here?"
"No i'm actually from LA"
"La La land?"
I hate it when people call it la la land.
"Yer"
"Sorry I don't mean to annoy you"
"You're not annoying me"
I'm trying not to be rude.
But i'm really not in the mood for this.
"Sorry i've just got alot on my mind"
"You don't need to apologise do you want a drink?"
"Yer but i'll buy"
"No it's cool i've got it"
Before I have a chance to argue she turns around and orders two beers.
"You really don't want to be here right now do you?"
When she says that I start laughing.
"It's been a long week"
"I know how you feel"
She seems nice.
"Why did you come?"
"My sister wanted to go out and I couldn't really say no"
"You've got to hate when that happens?"
I really do.
"My friends dragged me here as well"
I guess we have something in common.
"Here"
I grab the beer off her.
"Thanks"
"No problem"
She watches me as I take a sip.
"Okay well I should probably go find those friends of mine"
"Thanks for the drink"
She's smiling.
"Ashley come find me if you get bored"
"I will"
When she leaves I can't help but smile.
Bree's got game.
I do what she just did to me all the time.
I approach a girl at the bar, I buy her a drink and then I leave.
Nine times out of ten the girl comes and finds me.
But that won't be happening this time.
"Ashley why are you standing here by yourself?"
"Ky this is where you get the beer"
I hold my drink up.
"Are you going to come sit with us?"
"Yer i'll be there in a sec"
"Ashley did something happen that I don't know about?"
Yes but there's no way i'm telling her.
"No i'll be there in a sec i've just got to use the bathroom"
That's a lie.
I don't need the bathroom but I really don't want to sit at a table with Spencer.
"Okay well i'll meet you over there"
I force a smile.
"Yer"
When she walks away I head straight for the bathroom.
But before I can get there, the one thing I don't want to happen, happens.
"Hey"
She looks uncomfortable.
"Hey"
"I ummm..."
"Spencer I really need the..."
I nod in the direction of the bathroom.
"Sorry"
When she steps to the side I walk past her.
I have no idea how everything turned out the way it did.
I thought we were on the same page.
I thought we wanted the same thing.
But she freaked and now it's awkward.
"Hey"
The second I step out of the stall I notice her.
"I thought you were just using the bathroom to avoid me"
She's leaning on the sink.
"I was"
I could lie and say I wasn't.
But Spencer's not an idiot.
She knows exactly why I came in here.
"I thought so"
"Spencer why are you in here?"
"I was kind of hoping we could talk?"
She looks incredibly nervous.
"I think we covered everything the other night didn't we?"
"Ashley please?"
I don't know why but I can't just cut her out of my life.
"Spencer we don't need to do this"
She's staring at me.
"We barely know eachother and for all I know I might be heading back to LA tommorow"
I quickly start washing my hands.
"Ashley please?"
When I turn around she's still staring at me.
"I want to apologise"
"Spencer there's really nothing you need to apologise for"
"Seriously Ashley can you stop talking for one second?"
If this was anyone else that would of annoyed me.
But this is how Spencer and I are.
"Spencer you suck at apologising"
"You're not making it very easy"
"Have you thought that maybe I don't want an apology?"
Now she's listening.
"Look Spencer I don't know what I did that made you freak out..."
"You didn't do anything"
I know that.
"I must have done something?"
She looks irritated.
"Okay just forget I even bothered"
When she tries to walk away I grab her arm.
"Look Spencer I don't know what you want from me"
Her eyes are locked on mine.
"You tell me you only want sex and then when we have sex you find something that isn't there and panic"
"I just..."
"Spencer I haven't been in or wanted a relationship since I was seventeen"
I let go of her arm.
"So I don't know what i've done that's made you think I want more from you..."
"You haven't done anything"
"Then why the big freak out Spencer I don't get it?"
"Ashley I don't know why I reacted the way I did but i'm sorry"
"Okay"
I really don't know what else to say.
"You're annoyed"
"Yep"
I'm not going to lie.
This whole conversation's really annoying me.
"Ashley I don't know what else you want me to say?'
"Why don't you try telling me the truth?"
"That is the truth"
"No it's not"
This isn't going to end well.
"You can't handle this"
I wave my hand between us.
"That's ridiculous"
"I'm done with this conversation Spencer you're annoying me"
This time when I try to walk she grabs my arm.
"Ashley what exactly do you want me to say?"
"I want you to keep lying Spencer I want you to keep telling me everything that you think I want to hear"
Sarcasm is my friend.
"Can you just stop with this whole I don't give a shit act?"
Her eyes are locked on mine.
"Look Spencer I just think it's best you do your thing and I do mine"
"Ashley I came in here because I wanted to apologise"
"I know..."
"I wouldn't be standing here right now if I wanted us to go our seperate ways"
"Well fucking tell me what you do want?"
She's so frustrating.
"I want you to stop avoiding me"
"I'm not avoiding you"
"Ashley you left the loft without saying bye and I haven't seen you since"
"I've been busy"
"Sure you have"
Is she really going to turn this around on me?
"Spencer just go back to your table and forget you saw me here"
I'm not interested in listening to her if she's not going to tell me what's really going on.
"You're such a bitch"
"So i'm told"
I start walking away.
"Ashley?"
I'm done listening to her.
So I just ignore her and walk away before she has a chance to say anything else.
