Ashley was doing her homework at her desk. A week had passed since Mikey's party and she was glad weekend came around. She was finishing up her homework for Monday and an essay for next week so she could fully enjoy the next two days. Tonight she would go to TJ. In the past week he had tried to make up for something he didn't remember and this morning when he gave her a limited edition of her favorite movie, she gave in. She had squealed and hugged him happily. Stephanie had looked at TJ with an impressed smile on her face. "If you hurt her again I will personally make your life miserable. Understand?" TJ had nodded and she had left him and Spin alone. "It sounds like Stephanie forgave you." "Yeah sounds like it. But what about you?" Spinelli just laughed. "I had forgiven you on Wednesday when you gave the drawing you made of me." "What? Why didn't you tell me?" "I am not allowed to make my own decisions when it comes to you Teej." He gave her a strange look, but then shook it off and asked: "You wanna hang out tonight to celebrate your forgiveness?" She grinned at the memory and finished up her homework.
Now she was standing in front of his house with the DVD in her hand. TJ had asked to wear something nice, because he had something special planned. So she decided to wear a black tight skirt with a loose red top. She also wore a long neckless TJ had given her once, it was a silver heart with a picture of them both in it. Curious what they were going to do tonight, she knocked on the door. TJ opened the door, he wore a dark jeans with a black blouse on top. He had his sleeves rolled up and looked, in Ashley's opinion, really hot. She blushed and walked into the house. TJ took her hand and led her to the dining room. Spinelli's mouth dropped. The whole room was led by candles, the table was decked for two and it smelled delicious. "What is this? What did you do?" Spin asked with her mouth still open from shock. TJ chuckled at the goofy face his friend made. "Well, there is something I want to tell. Actually I wanted to tell you this for years, but never really had the guts to do so." He took her hand in his and looked her in the eyes. But before he could tell her, she was mumbling something under her breath. "No, no, no." TJ looked confused. Why was she freaking out already? He didn't even say that he loved her. Spin was still shaking her head and mumbling "no". "What? What do you mean no?"
She stayed quiet for a minute. TJ saw that she was trying to relax herself, but failing miserably. "Teej, no. You can't tell me you love me." His eyes grew wide. "You know? But, but, I do. I want to tell you." "Np TJ please," Spin stuttered, "I just forgave you. I only just decided that because you are an amazing friend I should forgive you for being a horrible boyfriend. But you can't, you really can't expect me to be your girl, again." TJ looked like a fish on dry land, closing and opening his mouth. "What do you mean again? We never were a couple." Spinelli just looked more uncomfortable. She took his hand and walk to the couch and they both sat down. "Actually TJ, we were. For like six hours or something." "What? What are you talking about?" Spin looked him in the eyes and saw his desperation and confusion. She looked around. He had done all this for her. She shook her head. She meant what she said. She couldn't be his boyfriend again, it still hurt. "Spin?" Ashley looked back at TJ and sighed, she had to tell him. "Fine, I'll tell you what happened. But, just don't interrupt okay? I don't really like thinking or talking about it." TJ nodded and stayed quiet, so Ash began.
"A few months ago, on my birthday, you came by early. I was home alone and nobody would show up for a few hours until the party started. You came through the window and sat down beside me on my bed where I was drawing. You told me had to tell me something, something important and you had wanted to tell me for years. You were very nervous, but also very sweet. You told me you loved me. And well I told you, I loved you too. Ahh no way Teej, you said you would let me finish." TJ closed his mouth again and gave a quick nod, so Spin went on with her story. "We kissed and it was kind of amazing. After that you gave me a ring. I am not sure if you remember buying that ring, but it was silver and on the ring there was Fight for love engraved. You told me, it was because I always did just that and it was something you loved about me. So after that we kissed some more and we just hang out. I asked you not to drink to much so you could help me keep an eye one everyone. You agreed. And then it all went wrong. We decided not to tell anyone about our relationship, yet. So nobody knew about us and well, you an-and Ashley and I." she sobbed. TJ reached out for her and hold her in an embrace. "What did I do Spin?" TJ asked after she calmed down a little. "I found you kissing Ashley A in my hallway. You were drunk, like really really drunk. So I sent you home and said we would talk about it in the morning. Next morning I came by and I found you in bed with Ashley A."
