A/N: I'm feeling generous, so here's another update! Ok first I wanna say thank you to everyone that has reviewed. It's nice to see! Second, I'm sad to say this is almost over. :-(. And third, xxsonrocksxx you make me chuckle! Your explanation of Spencer's situation was perfect haha! Only if you think about it, technically it's not her girlfriend, it's her ex as well. A whole crazy mess of ex's. Ahh thus the life of a South teen.


I Want You Back

It's hard to say I'm sorry. It's hard to make the things I did undone. A lesson I've learned too well, for sure. So don't hang up the phone now, I'm tryin to figure out just what to do. I'm goin crazy without you. You're all I ever wanted. You're all I ever needed, so tell me what to do now, when I want you back.

What the hell? Why am I thinking about N'Sync at a time like this? Oh…wait…because that's what I'm going to be saying to Spencer if I absolutely have to. If she even shows up that is…

I managed to get Chelsea to help me out, thank god. She was pretty much my last resort.

"Chelsea thank you so, so, so, so, SO much! Oh my god, you have no idea how much this means. Seriously, if you ever need ANYTHING just ask and it's yours!"

"Ash, calm down. Breathe with me now, in and out."

"Ok, sorry…it's just…I screwed up MAJORLY with Spencer and you're pretty much my only hope of getting her here tonight. Ugh how could I have made such a big mess Chels?"

"Ash it's ok, really. You made a mess yes, but you're trying to make it right. That's what counts. I just need to tell you now though, that if and when you and Spencer get back together you need to be more aware of what's going on in your head and in your heart. You need to talk to her about stuff ok? Don't just let things sit inside and end up in an even worse mess than this. I know it's hard for you to open up, but this is Spencer we're talking about. You know you can trust her and you know she'll do what she can to help."

"I know…I know…I'm just really scared."

"Why?"

"What if she doesn't love me anymore? What if she's moved on? What if this time I lost everything?"

"Stop playing the 'What if' game girl! You're psyching yourself out that way. I know for a fact she still loves you. She told me…but I wasn't supposed to say anything. She misses you like crazy."

"I miss her too…I need her in my life and I refuse to let her go without a fight."

"That's the Ashley Davies I know! So what's the plan?"

I told her the plan; get Spencer to the art studio at 8pm. Simple if you think about it. All she has to do is tell her she needs help with a project and bam, Spencer's there. Such a good heart my girl has.

She still loves me. There's still hope for us. Chelsea confirmed it. Stay strong. Don't let her go. Not again. Not ever.

I checked my phone…

7:59 "Only one more min--"

"Chelsea what's going on?"

Oh crap…where's the bathroom? I'm gonna hurl…she's gonna hate me…she's gonna be pissed and run…

"Nothing, I forgot something in the car, just go in and I'll be right back."

Should I hide? Maybe I have time to—

"Ok. I-. Ashley?"

Guess not…oh god…say something you idiot!

"Uh…"

Oh yeah, that's good…

"Ashley, what the hell are you doing here? What's going on?"

"Spencer, we need to talk."

"Oh no. I told you last night…or…this morning…whatever, I told you that I don't want to hear it. You came in loud and clear that night in the hospital."

"Spencer about that…"

"What? I get it Ash, you love Aiden. You always have and you always will. End of story. End of us. You didn't love me and you never will."

Is she serious? She can't be.

"I really wish you would just let me move on. Just tell me it's over ok? I'm sick of pining away for you when I know it's pointless."

I guess she is serious…

"It's not pointless Spence."

"Are you high? Seriously have you been doing drugs again? It IS pointless, you're with Aiden. You left me, in the hospital, on prom night…it was supposed to be about US and you once again made it about him. Big surprise there…you always made him priority when we were together."

Ouch…I deserve a lot worse than that though.

"Spence I'm sorry."

"Don't Ashley…just…don't."

Ok that sounded way too familiar…she was about to leave so I yelled for her.

"SPENCER WAIT!"

She turned back around, face contorted in pure rage.

"WHAT ASHLEY?! WHAT DO YOU WANT? Do you want this damn bracelet back? Fine take it! But you know what? I want my heart back! I want my heart back in the condition it was when I gave it to you; not shattered into a million tiny pieces. Can you do that? No, you can't. There's only one way you could do it and there's no way you can."

She threw the bracelet at my feet and turned to leave again, so I went to my last resort…

"It's hard to say I'm sorry. It's hard to make the things I did undone. A lesson I've learned too well, for sure. So don't walk out the door now, I'm tryin to figure out just what to do. I'm goin crazy without you. You're all I ever wanted. You're all I ever needed, so tell me what to do now, when I want you back."

She stopped dead in her tracks, turned slightly so she was looking me in the eyes, confusion running ramped through them.

"What?"

It was almost a whisper. All the anger seemed to have melted from her body, now her face was the image of someone either completely perplexed, someone who just found out their dog died, or a mixture of the two.

"I want you back Spencer. I was such an idiot for ever leaving you for Aiden. I realized that. I got back with him because I felt guilty. About what I'm not really sure, but I know it was guilt that drove me to be with him again. I mistook it for love, and I'm an idiot. I broke it off with him. It's completely over this time, I swear it. I know you deserve someone so much better than me, but I can't stop thinking about you Spence. Every single night I lie awake in bed just thinking about you. Every minute that passes is like an eternity because you're not there in my arms. You're not there in my life. If you give me another chance I swear I'll spend every single day making it up to you. I'll wait on you hand and foot, carry your books, give you piggyback rides to class, do your laundry…anything you want! You're my one and only true love Spencer Carlin, I can't and I won't lose you again. So tell me what to do, tell me what to do to get you back, I'll do anything it takes. Hell, I just quoted N'Sync! That has to tell you something! I need you Spencer…I'm so in love with you that it hurts. It hurts so bad to not be with you, but it hurts so good when I am. Please Spence…please take me back…"

She stared at me for a few seconds. Dumbfounded to say the least, then her eyes got wide and I blinked; a split second involuntary motion of one's eyelids; and when the blink was over, she was gone. Nowhere in sight. I knelt down and picked up the bracelet, just staring at it.

"Fuck…"
