SPENCER'S P.O.V
"You're staring"
"Shut up Zara"
"Spencer just go talk to her"
"I already did that and now everything's worse"
She's been avoiding our table all night.
"What did you say to her?"
"Zara can we not talk about this now?"
Kyla's here with Bryce and I really don't want her to know what's going on.
"Come with me"
I have no choice but to hop up when she shoves me out of the booth.
"Zara i'm really not in the mood"
"I know"
She grabs my hand and starts dragging me through the crowd.
"Where are we going?"
She doesn't answer me.
"Hey Ash"
When I look up Ashley's staring at me.
"Hey Zara"
She's talking to some girl.
"We're getting shots do you want one?"
"No i'm fine"
She's staring at me.
"Zara we should probably..."
"Who's your friend?"
She's ignoring me.
"Sorry"
I watch Ashley as she turns so she's facing the girl.
"Bree this is Zara and Spencer"
"Hey"
I watch Zara as she shakes her hand.
"Hi"
"Hey"
I'm left with no choice but to shake her hand as well.
"It's nice to meet you"
"You to"
This is only going to make everything worse.
She's obviously trying to hook up with this girl and we're ruining that.
"Ashley where have you been hiding all week?"
I'm going to kill Zara.
"I've been really busy"
I'm not surprised when Ashley glares at me.
I'd be pissed as well.
"Bree can you give us a second?"
"Yer of course come find me later"
Ashley's going to lose her shit.
"What the fuck was that?"
"Sorry we didn't mean to..."
"Really Zara?"
I watch her as she takes a sip of her beer.
"Let me guess"
We're both going to cop a mouthful.
"Spencer told you what happened?"
Of course I did she's my best friend.
"Yer"
"I bet you when she told you it actually made sense?"
I'm such a bitch.
"Because she would have actually told you what the fuck's going on"
"Ashley?"
"Zara maybe you could tell me what's going on?"
I watch her as she quickly finishes her drink.
"Can one of you two tell Kyla I've left?"
"Ashley don't leave because of us"
"Spencer i'm not"
She looks over at me.
"I didn't want to be here in the first place"
When she leaves I look over at Zara.
"Thanks for that Zara"
"Spencer chase after her"
"Are you nuts?"
The last thing Ashley wants right now is for me to go after her.
"Spencer don't be annoying just go"
"The last thing she wants right now is for me to chase after her"
"Spencer i'm not asking you to tell her you're in love with her"
"I'm not in love with her"
"I know but you feel bad and you're going to keep feeling bad until you two sort your shit out"
"We're not a couple Zara we don't need to sort our shit out"
"Spencer I know how you feel about relationships but Ashley's a cool chick and I know deep down you want to at least be friends with her"
I do want to be friends with her.
"If I go after her she's going to think it means something more"
"Spencer i'm starting to see why Ashley's pissed at you"
When she says that I roll my eyes.
"Go apologise for being an ass"
"Zara how do you know I was the one being an ass?"
"I just know these things"
She's right but it annoys me that she just presumes i'm in the wrong.
"Okay fine but if she kills me it's on your conscience"
"I can live with that"
When I walk away I really don't think i'll catch her.
But then I step outside the bar and I see her walking in the distance.
She's quick she's at least two blocks away already.
So I start jogging when I realise I have no idea where she's going or where she's staying.
"ASHLEY?"
She's either ignoring me or she can't hear me.
"ASHLEY?"
When I get closer I notice she's on her phone.
"Okay Robbie sounds good"
She stops walking when she notices me.
"No i've got no plans all week"
She's staring at me.
"Yer that sounds good"
Her expression's blank.
So I really can't tell what she's thinking,
"Okay cool i'll see you tomorrow"
I'm really hoping she's not too annoyed.
But I know that's incredibly unlikely.
"Bye"
I watch her as she hangs up her phone and slips it into her back pocket.
"Hey"
When I say that she starts walking.
"Ashley can I please explain?"
"I thought that's what you did in the bathroom?"
I have no idea where we're going but right now I really don't care.
"Can I explain properly?"
She stops walking and turns so she's facing me.
"Spencer if you're fucking around again?"
"I'm not I promise"
"That's my hotel"
She nods across the road.
"And I'm frozen so if you want to talk it has to be in there"
"Alright"
