Chapter 18
Ashley dragged herself away from her piano to answer the front door. She had a feeling it was going to be a drunk Kyla and really couldn't be bothered to deal with her right now but she also didn't want to leave her in the hall way to choke on her own vomit.
"Hey what are you doing here?" Ashley asked shocked as she looked up at Aiden.
"Sorry to be stalker guy but I was looking for Kyla"
"No it's cool but she isn't here" Ashley signalled for Aiden because she knew him well enough to know that he needed to talk.
"I figured as much but I thought I'd check...any idea where she is?" Aiden probed as he grabbed a beer from the fridge. Ashley really didn't want to get involved with what ever was going on between them at the moment but she also wanted to be there for her best friend.
"I think she is out having a drink with Spencer and her friend...maybe...I'm not sure"
"You mean the girl that Kyla was making out with last night?" Aiden asked obviously annoyed.
"Jamie and yes"
"Is your sister gay now aswell?is it genetic now?"
"You know she's not gay Aiden"
"Then why hell was she kissing that chick?"
"I have no idea Aiden I'm her sister not her keeper"
"I don't care anyway"
"Yes you do Aiden and that's what makes you a great guy and it's why Kyla loves you" Ashley just wanted a quiet evening of moping and self pity.
"Yea well....I don't think I love her"
"You don't mean that you're just hurting because of what's happening....you guys will be all happy again next week" Ashley knew she didn't want to know this because she hated keeping secrets from people she cared for and also she had her own shit to deal with. While Ashley was deep in thought Aiden had moved closer to her, dangerously close Ashley thought to herself but due to his closeness she could smell that the beer he had in his hand was not the first he had had that day.
"You don't get it Ashley"
"What?" Ashley barely squeezed the question out.
"I love you and I always have" Aiden confessed as he leaned and kissed Ashley. Ashley didn't know what to do she was shocked and worried about how to tell Aiden that she didn't feel the same but she also felt safe and secure as he kissed her. Just as Ashley was about to pull away they were interrupted by the front door opening and extremely intoxicated Spencer and Kyla fell in. Ashley pushed Aiden away but didn't have any excuse to blurt out to her broken hearted sister and to the girl that wanted.
"I knew....I fucking knew it" Kyla was the first to break the silence.
"I'm sorry Kyla but it's not how it looks" Aiden finally answered.
"Try another cliche Aiden" Kyla shouted as she walked out the apartment.
Spencer was actually frozen on the spot and really didn't know what to do or say but the one thing that she knew was that she was done with Ashley. She felt Jamie hold her hand and she turned to leave the apartment.
"Spencer...wait...I'm sorry.....I..I" Ashley tried but Jamie had Spencer out the door before she knew it.
"Ashley wait" Aiden called after Ashley as she went after Spencer.
"Don't talk to me. You have ruined everything and hurt my sister. I don't love and I will never love you...just get out" Ashley yelled with pure anger and disappointment. By the time she got down the stairs Spencer had gone and Ashley just sat on the curb crying into her hands.
