"Hey, Ben I need a favor" Ashley asked.
"Ashley! What's up what do you need" Ben replied.
"I need you to take Amy out tomorrow" Ashley asked.
"Why" Ben replied.
"That's none of your business I just need you to" Ashley declared.
"Ok, but where" Ben asked.
"I don't care" Ashley yelled.
"Fine, just chill" Ben sighed.
Bye, Ben and Thanks" Ashley said.
"No problem, Bye" Ben replied as he hung up.
Ashley went to bed so ready for Amy to be out of the house tomorrow.
Ashley was sitting on her bed the next morning getting ready for school when her phone rang
"Hey" Ashley answered.
"Hey, Ashley how was the rest of your night" Griffin asked.
"It was okay but I highly doubt that Amy is going to give me a ride to school today" Ashley replied.
"Don't get your hopes up" Griffin joked.
"I got to finish getting dress so I'll see you at school" Ashley said.
"Bye, Ashley" Griffin answered.
Ashley picked up her bag and walked out of her room. She headed into the kitchen to find that Amy was there but no John. Come to think of it she had not even seen John since yesterday mourning.
"Hey, Amy where's John" Ashley asked.
"I'm not speaking to you" Amy replied.
"You've got to be kidding me" Ashley replied.
"And good luck finding a ride to school" Amy said as she walked out the door.
Ashley sighed and head out a behind Amy but when she got there Amy's car was gone. Ashley thought for a second but then figured she could get a ride with Adrian. She walked over to Adrian house and was about to knock on the door when it opened.
Adrian walked out with Ricky right behind her.
"Hey" Ashley said.
"Oh, Hey, Ashley need a ride to school" Adrian asked.
"How did you know" Ashley replied.
"You only come over in the morning when you need a ride" Adrian answered.
"Oh, where's John" Ashley asked directing her attention to Ricky.
"At daycare" Ricky replied.
"Was he with you last night" Ashley asked.
"Yeah we can talk about that more later" Ricky said as he walked to his car. Ashley headed to Adrian's car with out saying another word to Ricky.
Adrian kissed Ricky goodbye which surprising to Ashley made her stomach hurt but she ignored that feeling and waited for Adrian to open her car door. The car door opened with a clicked and she got in. Adrian got in and started the car. As they were driving to school the radio was playing a song only old people would listen to Adrian turned down the radio and looked at Ashley.
"What was that about between Ricky and you" Adrian asked.
"Adrian, I know your super afraid of Ricky cheating on you again but don't get all crazy girlfriend on me" Ashley replied.
"Ashley answer the question" Adrian demanded.
"Okay, just wanted to know where John was last night" Ashley answered.
"Why, John should be at your house" Adrian respond.
"But, he wasn't there that's why I asked" Ashley replied as she rolled down her window.
"Oh well okay" Adrian said. The rest of the ride was silent. When they pulled up to Grant Ashley waved goodbye and walked to her locker. When she got there there was a body leaned against it.
"Hey, so what happened last night" Ricky asked.
"I was just about to ask you the same thing" Ashley smirked.
"Well talk about it later" Ricky said.
"One how and Two get off my locker" Ashley stated.
"Here" Ricky answered as he grabbed her hand and wrote his number on her hand. When he closed her hand she felt a jolt ran through her hand. Ashley rolled her eyes.
"Get off my locker" Ashley said. Ricky smiled at her and got up off the locker.
Ashley opened her locker and grabbed some books as she was closing her locker Griffin came up to her.
"Ashley what was that" Griffin asked.
"Nothing" Ashley said denying the whole thing.
"Oh, that looked like you and Ricky planning something that's not very safe for you" Griffin implied.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Ashley replied as she started to walk to her first class.
"Whatever, Ashley just know that anything between you and Ricky would only end in some one getting hurt and by someone I mean YOU" Griffin expressed.
"Nothing going on between anyone so no ones getting hurt" Ashley stated as she headed into class.
Ashley was leaving forth period early when she was walking down the hall way she saw Adrian walling down the hallway toward her. Ashley stopped walking and braced herself for what was about to happen.
"I thought we were friends or some what friends" Adrian hissed once she got to Ashley. Ashley sighed. "Adrian, we are friends" Ashley replied.
"So why was my boyfriend your nephew's father writing his number on your hand" Adrian yelled getting in Ashley's personal space.
"You ever think that I might need it just in case John needed some thing or there's an emergency" Ashley yelled back in Adrian face.
"Oh please, that little boy is almost two if you needed that number you would have already gotten it" Adrian disputed.
"WOW, has everyone complete lost there mind anyway Adrian I'm not going to stand here and fight with you over a guy especially Ricky" Ashley yelled as she turned around and walked to lunched.
Ashley sat down at her regular table and started picking at her salad. Griffin sat down next to her and started going on and on about Grace and Jack who just had this big fight in the hallway.
"Hey, watch out your sister coming this way and she does not look happy" Griffin said just as Amy was walking over here.
"I'm going to murder that boy" Ashley murmured.
"What" Griffin asked. Just as Ashley was about to answer Amy came over.
"Ashley, really right in the hallway" Amy yelled.
"Amy keep you voice down what are you talking about" Ashley sighed.
"I can't believe you were flirting with Ricky in the hallway right in front of everyone" Amy barked.
"Whatever, Amy I'm tried go talk to Ricky about all that" Ashley replied. Amy just turned around and stormed away.
"Griffin, I don't want to talk about" Ashley said before Griffin could open his mouth. They finished there lunches in silence.
Ashley was at her locker trying to figure out how she was going to get home since Amy left her and Adrian was a sure no.
"Hey, Ashley" a high pitch voice that was the point of happy that you want to slap said.
"Hi, Grace" Ashley said as she turned around.
"How did you know it was me" Grace asked.
"Lucky guess, anyway can you give me a ride home" Ashley asked.
"Yeah, sure" Grace said. She started to walk and Ashley trailed behind her. Grace was driving and it was really quiet Ashley almost thought Grace was not as annoying as everyone thought.
"Hey, Ashley can I ask you something" Grace asked.
Just when I had some hope for her Ashley thought.
"No, Grace but I'm sure your going to ask me anyway" Ashley replied.
"It's just that I heard you and Ricky were together and I wanted to tell you that I fully support you" Grace disclosed.
"Grace get real there's nothing going on between me and Ricky Underwood now can we please talk about something else" Ashley said.
"Okay, me and Jack broke up again and I just don't understand why….." Grace started.
"Wait, Grace let me stop you right now you and Jack could be together if you and him would talk about sex and where you stand on it" Ashley replied.
"Oh, well maybe that is it, Thanks Ashley" Grace conveyed. They pulled up in front of Ashley's house and Ashley got out of the car and waved goodbye to Grace.
"Bye, Ashley" Grace said as she drove away. Amy's car was here so that meant Ben had not picked her up yet. Ashley felt like being left alone today so she went to the kitchen
and grabbed some snacks and made two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and went to her room she put the food down and changed her cloths. While doing that she finally was able to look at her hand with the number on it. Ashley stared at the numbers pissed that it was permanent mark and the numbers were still there. She pulled out her phone and called Ricky.
"Hey, I'm at work right now but I'll call you back later" Ricky said.
"Um, no you won't because I just calling to tell you to stop playing games with me because you're really starting to piss me off" Ashley replied.
Ricky laughed. "I'll call you on my way to see John" Ricky said as he hung up.
Ashley wanted to scream at the way Ricky was going at all of this she decided to just start her homework and forget about it. One hour later her phone rang she looked at the number rolled her eyes and put the phone down.
"Hey, Ashley how was school" Anne asked as she came into Ashley room.
"It was fine" Ashley replied as she put her hand with the number on it behind her back.
"Amy just left to go on a surprise date with Ben so I'm watching John until Ricky gets here" Anne said.
"Oh, that's nice" Ashley replied. Anne looked at Ashley and sighed.
"You sure there's nothing you want to talk about" Anne asked.
"No, is Dad here" Ashley asked.
"No not yet" Anne replied.
"Hey, Mrs. Juergens I think Robbie is up stairs crying want me to get him" Ricky asked walking in.
"Oh, know that's okay I got him" Anne said as she walked out. Ricky leaned up against the wall in Ashley's room.
"I called you and you didn't pick up" Ricky said.
"You expected me to" Ashley said sarcastically.
"Well I needed to talk to you" Ricky replied.
"Okay, first you answer some off my questions then we can talk" Ashley said.
"Shot" Ricky stated.
"What happened after I left the kitchen yesterday" Ashley asked.
"Your dad started yelling at me about leaving you alone and then he walked out" Ricky replied.
"Was John at your house last night" Ashley asked. Ricky walked over and sat on the floor next to her bed.
"Well Amy came home less then minute after your dad walked out so I told her I wanted John to spend the night at my house so I took him home then drop him off at daycare the next morning" Ricky finished.
"Then came going over to Adrian's house for a quickie" Ashley said. Ricky laughed.
"Yeah, so that's what happened anyway I needed to talk to you about something" Ricky said.
"GO" Ashley conveyed.
"I feel like no one thinks I'm doing a good job raising my kid" Ricky said sadly.
"Do you think your doing a good job" Ashley asked.
"Yeah I do" Ricky replied.
"Then screw everyone else and do what you have to do for your son" Ashley replied.
"What about Amy she doesn't think I'm doing a good job and when I know I do she says nothing" Ricky asked.
"What did I say" Ashley said.
"Right thanks, Ashley" Ricky replied.
"I need you to stop doing whatever your doing to get people to stop thinking you and me are anything but friends" Ashley asked.
"What" Ricky laughed.
"Adrian and Amy both came up to me today and started to talk to me about you writing your number on my hand" Ashley answered.
"Oh, well don't worry about it I'll take care off it" Ricky replied. Ricky got off the floor and sat on Ashley's bed.
"Thanks for the help Ashley and put my number in your phone in case you ever want to talk" Ricky said as he leaned in closer. Ashley did not reply back to afraid to open her mouth. Ricky smiled and got off the bed and walked out of the room. Ashley let go off the breathe she was holding not even know she had been holding it the whole time.
"I'm not falling for Ricky Underwood" Ashley murmured as she saved his number in her phone.
