"Yeah sure. Hold up let me grab my cigarettes." She said walked toward her purse.
"k" I was nervous about what I was about to do, but I promised myself the next time that I saw her and we happened to speak throughout or eyes I would do it. So my knees became weak again so I took a seat and pulled out a cigarette. She returned quickly and we emerged into the garage. We sat side by side on the couch against the wall.
"So what's up ash? How have you really been?" she asked within curiosity
"Honestly, I think you already know the answer to that question!" I said never making eye contact.
"Look ok we really need to talk about what happened!" she said placing her hand on my knee.
"No!" I yelled under my breath before she could finish" There is nothing for us to talk about, I spilled my heart out to you and you acted so…so just like it meant nothing. It took me 3 and half years to tell you that!"
"I know, I just was so mad at you still. I needed to help you so I did. I cut you off and let you find your own way. The first time I saw you that summer, I knew you were going through allot and I knew you needed so sort of shelter."
"Whatever, dont makes excuses and expect me not to see it in you!" I stopped talking as oxygen was escaping my lungs faster then a sinking ship, as emotions took over my body. "Spence before this goes any further I only asked you out here for one reason, and that is to give you this." I pulled my hand out of my pocked and handed her and envelope. The only thing on it was an "S".
Spencer looked at me and then down at the envelope. After she took it into her hands, I stopped her.
"Wait…read the letter before anything else." She nodded her head and pulled the envelope open and began reading the letter.
Hey shug,
Well here we are, the day when Ashley Davies changes you life, like I always said I would do. No matter what has happened or will happen, I will always be here for you. I know it's been years, nut Spencer; I can't and will never get over you, so I ask you to accept this and realize how much I would do to stay true to you. I know that you haven't always been accepting toward the things I gave you, but I think this one will change all of that, good luck
Always and forever,
Ash.
She turned to me and her eyes began to look watery, she glanced up at me and then back at the letter a few times.
"I don't want it." She said standing up and handing the envelope back to me.
"Open it Spencer…jus do 1 thing for me and open it."
She saw the seriousness in my eyes. She could probably hear my heart beating. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, before reaching into the envelope. She stood there in front of me in complete silence, as she grazed over the check written to her for $500,000.
"I can't." She said through her tears.
"Yes you can, and you're going too." My attitude was beginning to arise at the sight of her unknowing.
"Why do you always have to do this Spence? Why can't you let me in? i have spent the last 2 and half years drowning in my sorrow over you, i'm beginning to think I'm wasting my god damn time trying to atleast have you as a friend, I wasn't messing around on AIM I was serious about what I said. I would say it over and over again to get through that pretty little head of yours. I'm head over heels in love with you Spencer." My chest was rising and falling with anticipation.
"I can't have you in my life ash, I can't have you as a friend!" she said sternly.
"Why the hell not?" I was beginning to get scared of that up coming answer.
"Because I'm scared of who I am, or what you make me feel when you're around, and I don't know if i can go through that right now!"
I'm confused now. I don't understand what she is trying to say. she always has to word her words in a way it makes me think about the phrase before being able to actually put it together.
"What are you talking about, how do I make you feel anything? We talk maybe once a year but you act fake every time. That's the only thing I hate about you Spence, why can't you just except when something is wrong, instead of being a fake bitch?"
"I'm only fake towards you because i'm scared of what ill actually do, or ill actually say, it's not only you who is in love with someone out here." She said. Which made me peer around the garage in a desperate search, for the person she is saying she is in love with? After realizing there wasn't anyone out there but she and I, I looked at her and nudged to myself. She shook her head yes in response. I let out a sigh and stood up again. I starred at her for almost 10 minutes. I had no works yet, my mind was blank, and my heart was racing, but then it seemed to slow and the anger boiled over.
"Wait… so you led me on fore almost 3 years, of making my feel bad because I was in love with you? And the whole time you love me as well?" I asked angrily and she just nodded he head. Now I m pacing back and forth, chewing on my fingernails. "How could you do that? Do you even understand what you put me through? You broke my heart day after day, and you made me be so afraid of who I was." She still hadn't said anything. She just sat there quietly as tears strolled own her face. At this point I was so angry at her that I went back inside. I had to get away. So I told my family that something had come up and I needed to get back to the studio.
After I said goodbye I grabbed my things and walked out through the garage door, where Spencer still sat. I still was speechless to her actions, so I walked right past her. Maybe she could get a feel, she how if feels to be put through so much.
"Ash…" she said under her breath but just loud enough for me to hear. I stopped dead I my tracks and closed my eyes for a brief second. I turned to her. "Don't leave." She said starring down at her feet.
"Funny, that's what I said to you a few times, but did you stay? NO! You left." And the truth of the situation was killing me.
"Please…don't leave." She pleaded me. I walked over to her and kneeled in front of her. I wiped the rears from her eyes. She leant her head into my hands as I fixed the running mascara. I could stop getting caught up in her. I don't even know how she does this to me. I dropped my head and then was brought back into her gaze as I saw her peaceful soul floating within her ocean blue eyes.
"One chance! Right now, you come to my house and tell me the truth. Because frankly i cant do this game with you anymore. I need to know what is here and what is not. So that i can move on. One chance, tonight to tell me or I leave again, and no words are spoken." I exasperated softly into her ear.
She thought about if fro a second before she stood up and walked toward K (the Porsche). Ash she got into the car she immediately turned the radio on. This brought me into a flashback.
TBC…DUNT DUNT DUN. What do you think is going to happen? Comments would be nice.
