Words Lost and Found
Alex's POV
I get back to my apartment and see Bridget waiting for me. No, we don't live together, she has a key though. Bridget's sitting there with a glass of wine, staring at the tv.
"Hey, hun." I say softly as I drop my bag and keys on the counter. She just ignores me. "Bridge…come on, the silent treatment? Really? I mean I should be the mad one right now. You accused me of cheating in front of Spencer and new people that could become our good friends."
"Oh no, of course not. Alex Cooper can never stay mad, everything's a joke, she can't even tell her girlfriend her true feelings without making a mockery of it." I wince. That one hurt. She sits in silence for a bit. "But Al, I am sorry I did that in front of them. I can't help how I'm feeling and you not being able to admit any feelings isn't helping the situation. How do I know that if you're not saying you love me to me that you're not saying it to someone else? Who has your heart, Alex Cooper?"
I sit next to her, "Bridge, I'd tell you if I knew."
"Wrong answer, Cooper." She goes to get up and I grab her arm. Her head whips back at me, glaring.
"No, it's the right one. You know I can't lie to you, Bridge. I can't tell you I have feelings that I don't. I just…think that love should be something so much more than what I'm feeling right now, and I'm sorry. I truly am." Tears well up in my eyes and her glare softens. "You have to believe that I'd never cheat on you…You know I'm not that person."
She sighs and sits back down, pulling me towards her, "Al, I know. It's just it was such an easy conclusion to come to after what I saw in your trailer and then hearing about you and Ashley today. It was better to believe that you were cheating on me than that you didn't love me."
I chuckle, "Very twisted thinking on your part, Bridge." She smiles softly. "So what now?"
She sighs, "I think it's best we break up. The media is going to have a field day with this one. It's not like the rumors about you and Nikki have died down." I roll my eyes and then get an idea.
"Bridge, what if we break up, but just keep it between us, just for now. The media won't have to know until we're ready to deal with it."
She smiles, kissing my cheek, "I knew I liked you for some reason."
"I thought you were just using me for my body and mesmerized by my charm." I bat my eyes at her and she giggles.
"You are such a goof." She ruffles my hair a little.
I pout, "Dude…the hair. Come on now." I fight back messing up her hair.
"Oh…now it's on." We giggle rolling around on the couch before we fall off and I'm pinned to the floor. She smirks above me, "I always was the top in the relationship."
"Har, har, har. Durr...Good one, B." I say in my goofy voice. She hits me with one of the pillows that fell to the ground during our wrestling match. "Hey, no using my pieces of furniture against me!" She just giggles and sits on my stomach.
I run my hands up and down her thighs. "We had a good run, Bridge." I look up at her.
She smiles sadly down at me, "That we did. I do love you Al."
There's a pang in my stomach, "I know." She leans down and traps my lips in a kiss. I entangle my fingers in her hair as the kiss deepens. Her hips grind down into me and I moan out.
Clothes were shed. Names were whispered. Bodies were touched. We had break up sex on my living room floor that night. It was a goodbye that we both needed.
Ashley's POV
Last night was intense. I need to apologize to Arden. I hear the front door close and I know that Nikki's left. I walk into my sisters room.
"Ard?" She's writing a few things down in a notebook. She's writing again?
She looks up and closes the book, "Hey Ash."
"You're writing again?" She hasn't written since our dad died a few years ago in a car accident. She said she couldn't feel anything but numbness and couldn't write anything useful without feelings.
"Uh yeah. I became inspired." She smiles with a dazed expression.
"Nikki?" She shakes her head. "Oh, Alex." She nods. "Arden, listen, I'm sorry for the way I was being. I just see so much of me in you that I let my own fears of my not being good enough for Spencer out on you in the form of Alex being your own Spencer…if that makes any sense?" We both laugh at my ramble.
"Yeah, it kinda does. Thanks. I forgive you. We were both heated, you know how it gets with the two of us in a room together." She chuckles. "Even when we were kids we were trying to take the spotlight away from each other. Two huge egos in one household was not the best situation." We smile at each other. "But…it's not like she even knows who I am. She didn't even talk to me. Didn't even look my way." She runs her hands through her hair. "At least you know Spencer's interested. Al is a mystery to me and she's got Bridget." She sighs heavily. "I'm really going to try to respect that, but I can't help the pull that I feel towards her. She's just…I don't know how to describe it."
"Like a drug? Like something always brings you back to her? Like your thoughts have to center around what she'll say to them?" I suggest and her eyes widen.
"Uh, yeah. How'd you know?" She flips through her notebook.
"It's what I feel for Spencer." I scoff and smile. "Look at us, we've only met them both once and we're acting like Kyla." We both laugh. Kyla would probably kill us if she heard that, but hey she was the one that we picked on as kids. Our laughing dies down and I continue. "But I wouldn't hate to be Kyla right now. Girlfriend who loves her and shares everything with. Successful career. She's truly happy."
"Yeah, she is. Glad it was with Luce. She was such a good friend growing up." I nod and watch as she pulls out her keyboard from the corner of the room. "I…want you to hear this. I started to write it for Dad after his death but…I guess Alex helped me finish it." She sits behind the keyboard and takes a deep breath before beginning to play.
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
Tears well up in her eyes as she sings. It's been a while since I've heard her sing. Still has the Davies musical talent that Kyla failed to acquire.
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
She belts out the last word and I get goosebumps. She definitely has her emotions back.
You're on to me, on to me, and all over...
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
Her voice breaks on the last line and I wrap her up in a hug. "Arden…that was amazing. Dad would've loved it." She sniffles and nods into my chest. "Pretty sure if you wrote something like that for Alex that she'd see something pretty good in you. She is a writer ya know."
Arden looks up at me with tear filled eyes and smiles, "So now you're all for Ardex?" I chuckle.
"Only if your for Spashley." I wink and she giggles, shaking her head. "Us Davies girls gotta stick together."
"Hey…there's one Davies girl missing here." We hear Kyla's voice from the doorway and Arden motions for her to get over here. We see that Kyla has tears in her eyes too, "That was beautiful, Ard. I'll scold you for going after Alex and you for going after Spencer after only knowing them for a day later." We all laugh and somehow everything feels ok.
