28 to Life

Micheal sighed as he put his phone down. What the heck was he doing? He knew it was stupid to call. But if he didn't then he would hate himself for it. He would be lying if he said he didn't miss her. Or think about her when he knew he shouldn't have. He was happy; he's career had gotten him movies and more TV shows.

One of which got awards.

It was also the one that had cause so much trouble for him and Ashley.

When the producers had asked him for it he'd been really excited. The show was called 18 to life. It was about two kids who on a dare get married. The actress he knew very well. She had red hair, green eyes.

He'd told Ash about it. And she'd been happy for him. She knew it'd be all acting, he knew she knew he loved her. But after the second season of 18 to life, things started to get tense between them. He should have figured about by then that things were downhill from there, but that was always his problem. Not figuring out in time.

He remember the first time he'd met her, in the audioning room. She'd looked so beautiful. He'd notice her because of her laugh. They'd been paired up together. The couldnt even get through the first lines without stopping to laugh or make comment. Something with her had just clicked

The first two season of LWD they remained close friends. He'd wondered where she'd been all his life. During their long friendship. They'd both dated other people. Both shared their number of broken hearts.

But it was around the third season when he finally had given up on the whole friendship charade.

......

"Hey; have you seen Ash around" He asked Ariel.

"Sorry no." Ariel said. "You look nervous"

"Nervous..No" He laughed uneasily. "Why would i be nervous"

"I don't know" Ariel said amused. "But i think it has something to do with finally telling Ashley of your undying passionate love"

"You have been watching to many movies." Michael said looking down at her with a hard gaze.

She laughed. "She's in Coffee room"

"Thanks!" He quickly said as he dashed off the coffee room.

He stopped at the door, he saw her there carefully putting the coffe into the cup.

He smiled and put his hands over her eyes.

"Guess who"

She jumped.

"Michael!"

He laughed as he took his hands off her face. "Miss me?"

"More than you'll know" She smiled back at him.

Say it.

His face turned serious. "Ash i wanted to tell you something."

She looked up from her cup to him. "What do you mean?"

"You're my best friend right?'

She nodded.

"Well i think.. more like i know.. i..."

"Mike?"

"I'm in love with you"

She'd been in shock. Cried a little too. But what he remembered the most were the 3 words she said back to him. The once he was painfully remembering now. She'd loved him too. And then he just threw it all away.

Anyways. As stupid as he was being, he needed her with him for this. She might not like it. Heck, she might even yell at him. But...

Well he guess he knew soon enough. Because the famous ring tone "Mama Mia" started playing. He'd never got around to getting a new phone.

"Hello" He said his heart beating faster than ever.

"Hi Michael." His heart welled he hadn't heard her voice in over a year. His fault. He was now figuringout that most of what happened was his fault.

"Hey Ash; How have you been?"

"Good, I haven't heard from you in a while."

He paused. "Yeah i know. I'm sorry"

"Don't be, you're not the only one to blame here."

Yes i am. He stubbornly thought.

"Hows the shows going?" She asked him.

"As well as can be. But we have a break for 3 months. While they're showing the 5th season"

"Oh i guess thats good"

"Hows the dancing" He'd heard she'd quit acting for a while to pursue her dancing career. He'd even gone to pne of her shows. But that was a diffrent story.

Its been going well. We also have a break for the summer. But in September we start back again."

"Thats cool"

"Yeah..."

An akward paused filled the space for a moment.

"I don't mean to make you uncomterble or anything" She paused "But do you remember the last night of shooting of "Vacation""

Man, how could he forget. it was the frst time he'd asked her to marry him. Well sorta.

"Yeah of course i do i think about that night all the time."

She paused and he could hear her soft breathing. "Really?"

"Yeah" God why was this so hard. It wasn't like he was in love with her anymore. He was the one who'd broken off their engagement. Just say it. "But that's not why i called."

"Oh" He heard her disappointed voice say. "Then why did you?"

Say it

"I'm getting married."
