A/N: I've been getting some good feedback on the past couple chapters. I'm glad! Makes me feel all funny inside, you? Haha ok sorry, I just love that quote. One of Glen's finest. So I've got it all figured out now, after this there'll be 7 more posts. Again I don't know when I'll be posting again. I'm not feeling too well right now. But then again that may result in more frequent posts haha. Who knows? But anyways, here's the next installment.

Walk Away

I've been thinking a lot about what Kyla said; the whole having to tell Aiden about why I broke up with him. I was planning on doing it, I really was. I just didn't wanna do it this soon…

Knock Knock

"Come in."

"Hey…"

"Aiden, what are you doing here?"

"Ash, we need to talk. Why? Was it something I did? Baby I'm sorry, just please don't do this again! I need you. I love you."

"Aiden stop it! Seriously, you need to stop. Look, it's over. You need to accept it. It wasn't anything you did. This is all on me. I made the mistake."

"Ash what we have isn't a mistake. It's true love."

"No, it's not."

"How do you figure otherwise? You left Spencer for me. You left her because what you had with her wasn't anything close to what we have."

"Leaving her for you was a big mistake. Listen, I thought about this, long and hard, and I realized that I only got back with you because I felt guilty. I mistook guilt for love and it would've been wrong for me to keep up something that would've just ended up way worse than it already has."

"You're wrong. You're so wrong Ash. She doesn't know you like I do!"

"Do you really even know me Aiden? Like seriously, do you?"

"Of course I do! I love you!"

"Really? Then what's my favorite color?"

"Easy, red."

"Wrong. It's black."

"What? Black is so not a color! It's a shade."

"Whatever. What's my favorite movie?"

"Uhh…The Notebook?"

"Wrong."

"Damn it."

"Yeah…"

"C'mon, what do these questions have to do with anything? They're trivial things that don't mean anything!"

"Are you kidding me Aiden? These "trivial things" are what make me, me! They mean everything. If you can't even answer these simple things then how can you say you love me? You can't love someone you don't know, not really."

"But…"

"No Aiden. There's no but."

"You know she'll never love you like I do Ash…"

"Well, there's one thing you have right."

"Wait, WHAT?!"

"She won't love me like you do. She'll love me more. She does love me more. She knows everything about me. Before this whole mess started and we were together, she'd call me in the middle of the day just to tell me she loved me. She'd stay on the phone with me all night when I had a nightmare. Just one look in my eyes and she'd know something was wrong and she wouldn't give up and get mad when I'd deny it. She knew I'd end up telling her."

"I can learn Ash. I can learn all that stuff!"

"That's not stuff you should have to learn when it comes to the one you love Aiden. It should just come naturally. Even when you and I were first together you couldn't do what she does."

"So, I guess it's really over then."

"Yeah…I'm really sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt you again. You have to know that. I do love you Aid, just…like my brother."

"Second choice, but I'll take it. I guess it's time to walk away from the past."

"It's for the best."

"Yeah…"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"What's Kyla's favorite play?"

"Phantom of the Opera, why?"

"Just wondering…say, do you happen to know who her favorite singer is?"

"Kelly Clarkson. She's obsessed. It's kinda creepy."

"What's her favorite food?"

"What do you mean by food? Like, actual food such as apple or type of food such as Mexican? Because if it's option A then it's pasta alfredo, but if it's option B then it's Italian. Why are you asking me all this stuff?"

"Because I do believe you are in love with her. You're just too blind to see it."

"What? How do you know?"

"All that stuff I asked you was all the stuff you couldn't answer about me."

"I dunno Ash. I mean yeah, I like Kyla…but I don't think I'm in love with her."

"Boys…you're so oblivious. Ok look, you said you like her…when you're around her do you feel sick to your stomach?"

"What?!"

"Answer the question damn it!"

"Um…I guess I do."

"Is it a good feeling?"

"Uh…yeah, it is actually. Weird."

"Love's a crazy thing."

"So, what should I do? I mean, she like…wont even talk to me."

"Well, I think you should sit down and have a talk with her. Get everything out. But before you talk to her, you need to sort everything out in your head. Because I will not have you messing with hers more than you already have."

"Ok."

"I'm serious Aiden, if you go into it before you have everything figured out and you hurt her again I'll kill you. I don't want her heart broken over you again. That's not fair."

"Ok Ash, I get it. I'm gonna go and do that thinking thing."

"Don't hurt yourself now."

"Ha, you're so funny. But uh…thanks. For real, thank you. I'm glad we talked."

"Yeah, me too. Good luck Aid."

"Thanks…I think I'll need it…"

I feel so much better now. So, so much better. This huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I love it. I wasn't kidding when I said I'd kill him if he hurt Ky again. I really will. It'll be a slow and painful one. Because that's what he'll deserve. Huh, whoda thunk it…me being the protective older sister. Insane.

Now let's hope Spencer doesn't walk away from me…
