"What's there to talk about?" she asks.
Aiden stands up, "What do you mean? I'm in love with you."
She stands up straight, "Don't say that."
"It's true. I can't lie to myself anymore." he says going closer to her.
"Well, Aiden, I don't love you like that. You're like my brother. And plus I have Ashley and you have Kyla." Ashley says walking away from him.
He grabs her arm, "So what? None of that changes my feelings. I know you love me the way I love you. You just don't wanna hurt your sister or Spencer, I understand--"
She takes her arm back slowly, "No, Aiden. I don't love you like that. We tried that once before and it didn't work. You're kind of scaring me now."
"Stop it." Aiden says throwing his hands in the air.
"I'm sorry but I don't feel the same way. You're with my sister, be happy with her."
"You can't fake happy, Ashley, I wanna be with you." Aiden says invading Ashley's personally space.
Ashley pushes him away, "NO! Stop, Kyla's right downstairs. Stop making a fool out of yourself."
"Fine!" Aiden says walking to her door, "I'll go but you can't lie to yourself about what you feel. I know I'm in your heart."
"You are in my heart… just not where Spencer is, Aiden." Ashley says feeling sorry for him. He walks out of her room to go see if Kyla was still sleeping. Ashley grabs her cell out of her purse and lays on her bed. Ashley plugs her cell up to her charger and as she does she gets a text. She opens the text:
"What R U doing? -Spence 3."
Ashley texts back, "Nothing. I just sat down."
Spencer: aw. R u tired, u want me 2 leave u alone?
Ashley: Never
(When Spencer sees the text she smiles.)
Spencer: good. I wasn't gonna.
Ashley: cute little jerk :/
Spencer: but u love me
Ashley: true. True. True.
Spencer: o! Glen definitely pissed me off.
Ashley: hey can I call or r u not in the mood? I wanna tell u something.
Spencer: No, call me. I have to tell you 2
Ashley: o.k.
Spencer phone rings and she knows it's Ashley without looking at the caller ID, "Hello?"
"Hey." Ashley says happily.
"Hiya." Spencer says just as happy.
Ashley chuckles a little bit, "You're such a weirdo."
"No, Glen is." Spencer says remembering what she was gonna originally say.
"And why is that?" Ashley says.
"He picked a fight with me out of nowhere when I walked in, about you and me." Spencer says.
"What did he say?" Ashley asks getting defensive. Spencer tells Ashley all the details… and that means everything. She definitely made sure not to leave out the part about where she slapped him silly. "You're kidding, right?" Ashley says appalled that Glen, no matter how evil he can be, said that.
"No, I'm not. He seriously had the nerve to tell me all that crap… he's ridiculous." Spencer says getting fumed from the conversation with Glen.
"Calm down, Spence, it's over. Sounds like you definitely won that fight. You're so tough." Ashley says trying to make Spencer laugh, "Growl." Ashley makes a growling noise.
Spencer laughs, "Shut up."
Ashley laughs, "Seriously, that's crazy… Glen's never been that big of a jerk. I actually though he liked me, I mean we did play paintball together. He even gave me a high five."
"I know, right? I hope he apologizes tomorrow. I think he's just a little bit scared that Chelsea's in the hospital… again." Spencer says with sadness in her voice.
Ashley frowns add this, "How's she doing? Your mom's watching her still?"
"Yeah. And Clay's still at the hospital, right by her side like a knight in shining armor." Spencer says smiling at the thought of at least one of her brothers being sweet today.
"Is the baby okay?"
"Yeah, yeah the baby's fine… I hope. Actually, I don't really know."
"I hope so, too. Clay would make a great dad and Chelsea would make a great mother. I just know it." Ashley says sweetly.
"Did you just say something nice about someone else?" Spencer says pretending to gasp.
"Funny. Very." Ashley responds.
Both girls laugh at Spencer's joke. They continue to talk about random things for the next hour and a half. They both are pretty much asleep until, "Hey, didn't you have something to tell me?" Spencer says.
"Uh," Ashley remembers what she was gonna tell Spencer but quickly tries to forget. If I tell her that Aiden came over and confessed his love for me, again, she'll dump me… again. And we're really happy now, I mean it's only been a good six hours but I feel like everything is going back to normal. I don't think I need to--"
Spencer interrupts Ashley's thoughts, "Is that a no?"
Ashley snaps out of it, "It wasn't anything important. Just that I love you and I'm glad that we worked out everything."
Spencer smiles at this, "Me too. Everything you just said but from me, I'm too lazy to repeat everything."
Ashley laughs at her girlfriend's laziness, "Okay. I think I'm gonna let you go so you can sleep."
"Mhmm." Spencer says dosing off.
"Night. Love you."
"Mhmm, you too." Spencer manages to say. Ashley hangs up her phone then snuggles up in her sheets and Spencer does the same thing in her bed.
