I'm glad some things may be starting to make more sense. Thank you so much for all the reviews and for reading the story, it really helps motivate me to write more. Anyways here is the next chapter...review...please..and Enjoy!

I look around the room trying to find something to change this subject to, anything. "Spencer please just drop it"

Her royal blue eyes travel down to the floor and she whispers so quietly, I almost couldn't hear her, almost "I want my friend back Ashley, and I know she must have had something to do with what happened between us."

Now I'm not just upset or annoyed, I'm angry. I'm livid, she shouldn't be putting Katie into this conversation, it just isn't necessary. "Last time I checked, you wanted to be something more than just friends."

Her head snaps up and our eyes meet a daring look in her eyes. "So now you're gonna blame this on me, you're unbelievable" Her words drip with disbelief and anger, it doesn't suit her sweet voice.

I don't know what else to say to her at this point I just want her to leave. "Spencer YOU kissed me, who am I supposed to blame? Katie? She was out of my life before you did what you did."

"I tried to apologize so many times. I came up to you at school, after school but you never listened to me, not once. I thought after everything we had been through you would at least hear me out. I thought I meant enough to you that you would at least try to save our friendship. But instead… you acted like you hate me in front of the whole school. You took all of my insecurities that I felt safe enough to tell you about and just threw them out there for everyone to laugh at…you laughed at me Ashley. What were you thinking?"

All I can do is stare down at my hands. I'm ashamed of myself. I hate myself more than anything in this world right now, because she's right. She's always right. She never deserved anything I did to her. "I don't know what I was thinking."

She slowly starts to take small steps towards me, a sense of anger and irritation in her voice. "As much as you hate to admit it Ashley I know you, and I can tell that you're lying to me." She's standing in front of me her electric eyes searching me for some kind of answer, anything to help make sense of the situation, she says the next part In a gentle whisper. "You can tell me. I wasn't lying when I said I would always be there to save you Ash but you have to let me in."

I don't deserve this from her, she should hate me and walk away right now but she is here trying to help me and I can't take it "Why can't you just give up on me? All I've done is made your life hell. Honestly I thought you would have gotten some kind of message by now."

"I have definitely gotten a message, and it's simple. You're not happy. When we first met and started hanging out you were different Ash. Now you're so, I hate to say it but cold and so reserved. You close yourself off from people so you can't get too close to them; I've watched you do it to so many other kids at our school. And I'm guessing that's exactly what you did to me. But you can't just turn that way over night. You couldn't have gone from the Ashley I knew and loved to some cold heartless girl in 24 hours. What happened to you Ash? What happened with her?"

Tears start to slowly make their way down my face. I've never felt so vulnerable since my time with Katie. Spencer said she had loved me. She said the Ashley I knew and loved, for some reason that made me open up. It was like some kind of wake up call. I needed to let out what happened to me because no matter how hard I tried, what she did to me was always in the back of my mind slowly tearing me apart. And to me when I said my following words they sounded so broken, and hollow. "She hurt me Spence"

"What did she do to you" And now there was no longer purely curiosity or irritation in her voice. There was a sharp edge, and that question was filled with what might have been hate. I looked up into her eyes and they had taken on a much darker shade, like the midnight sky, and she had a determined kind of look on her face. And then I realized that the hate and anger in her voice wasn't directed at me, not at all, it was directed at Katie.
