Chapter 24
Kyla watched as Jamie and Spencer left the apartment. Kyla wanted to be there for Ashley because she knew that the last comment that Spencer had made would've hurt her so she decided to put the whole Aiden incident aside for a while so she could be there for her sister. Kyla crept up to Ashley's door and gentley tapped on it hoping to get an invite.
"Not now Kyla" Ashley yelled from behind the door.
"Come Ash..I wanna know that you're ok?"
"I'm fine"
"Liar" Kyla managed to get a chuckle out of Ashley.
"I'm giving up on her Kyla...it shouldn't be this much work to be around somebody"
"You're right it shouldn't be this hard but sometimes it's totally worth it" Kyla ignored her own advise as she accepted that her own relationship was in no fit state at the moment.
"I'm starting to doubt that more and more"
"Look I'm sure that Spencer didn't want to hurt you...." Kyla couldn't finish her setence because Ashley did for her.
"But she did though and all we've done so far is fight"
"She's probably terrified Ash...you have only known each other a short while, she's just left her boyfriend and her mom is a frickin loon"
"Oh yea I can't believe that you've just suddenly become gay!!" Ashley suddenly remembered as she flung the door open leaving Kyla to fall flat on her back as she was leaning on the door.
"I'm not gay Ash"
"Wow that's the second time I've heard that today"
"That whole Jamie thing was just a bit of fun"
"Well you should probably tell her that because it sucks to find out later"
"Spencer doesn't see you as a little bit of fun Ash"
"What am I to her then?I just don't get it"
"Ask her not me"
"No way I am sick of running after her..I told you I'm done Kyla"
"You're so not done"
"I am trust me because this whole actually liking somebody is a huge waste of time...it fucking sucks"
"I don't think it's a waste of time"
"How can you not?You're boyfriend or whatever Aiden is to you now told me that he loved me only a day ago and this morning you were caught by somebodies mom making out with a girl....in this womans kitchen..." Ashley hadn't meant to sound so harsh but she was so angry and hurt that the words were just flying out of her mouth before her brain could even engage.
"First of all I have chosen to ignore the fact that my boyfriend of 3 years has been in love with my lesbian sister the whole time so that I can have this conversation with you. Secondly Jamie makes me feel good about myself and I don't see why I can have some of that right now with what I witnessed the other night and finally if I don't believe in the fact that all this shit may be worth it in the long run then what's the point?" Kyla let a single tear run down her face and that was it. She refused to be upset or affected in anyway by what Aiden had done to her. Ashley could see that he sister was upset so she sat down besides her on the cold, wooden floor of their apartment and simpy placed her head on Kyla's shoulder.
"Forget Aiden, Kyla...you deserve somebody that is going to love you non stop, no matter what and no matter who may come along. I'm sorry"
"It's not your fault Ash...you didn't know that he loved you"
"I know but I judged you for kissing Jamie and you didn't even flinch when I told you that Spencer had a boyfriend"
"That's because I know that you would only do something like that if it was worth it and I think you know that she is"
"I really doubt that right now"
"We are just shit really?" Kyla laughed.
"I prefer misunderstood...it sounds more totured"
"What we gonna do?"
"I think that we need to stop been tortured and get out hot asses out there"
"Can I invite Jamie?"
"Nope"
"Why?"
"Because dumb sister she will invite Spencer and I really don't want to see her right now"
"Liar"
"I mean it...promise you won't invite her?" Ashley asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Ok..go get ready"
As soon as Ashley left the room Kyla pulled out her cell and text Jamie. She didn't mean to break her promise to Ashley but she just wanted to help a little bit or at least try to with the best intentions.
KYLA: Hey wanna come 2 gray 2night?xx
JAMIE: I don't think Spence is in the mood
KYLA: I'm goin wiv Ash
JAMIE: I'll lie to Spence and get her there. C U Later Sexy xx
"Hey Spence?"
"What?" Spencer snapped from the sofa where she had planted herself most of the day since she dragged Jamie from the car.
"We're going out tonight"
"I don't want to thanks"
"You don't have a choice I'm afraid. You got me here under false pretences"
"How so?"
"You implied that this summer would be legendary Spence and so far I've seen the Legend but I'm still waitng for ary"
"Calm down it will be I'm just not happy"
"Well ring Ashley and tell her that you're sorry"
"I can't"
"Why the hell not?"
"Because I was a bitch to her and I have been a number of times now...she won't wanna see me anyway"
"How do you know unless you call her?"
"It's not happening Jamie. I'm too confused by this whole thing and I don't think I should drag her into this"
"Let her be the judge of that"
"If I promise to go out with you will you please drop the Ashley thing?" Spencer didn't mean to be snappy but she didn't want to hear Ashley's name because when she did it made her want to cry. Spencer just wanted to pick up her phone and ring Ashley to apologise but couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Deal... go get ready"
