Chapter 6

Ashley POV

Aiden and I are in the studio working at my latest album, I'm working and Aiden well he's just here to annoy me ok fine he's my personal bodyguard and physical trainer so technically he's working but I have to remind myself every now and then for that fact. We've been best friends for so long and when he asked me for a job, I couldn't say no.

I frowned at my phone as I read the message Spencer sent. I felt a little jealous and sad as I quickly replied. Being Lily is taking a toll in me and sometimes I can't separate being Lily and being me. Give me a fucking break ok? Lily's supposed to be a neutral person to Spencer. She needs someone to lean on for support but I am only human I can't help but let Ashley Davies feelings show. Using third person reference, God, I'm getting crazier by the minute. I sigh and place my hand up to my face. Aiden notices the change in my mood and he knows it has to do with Spencer.

"Ashley Davies the stalker. Has a nice ring to it, don't you agree?" He joked to try to change my mood but failed miserably. I grab the nearest thing (it happened to be a stapler) I can find and throw it at him which barely misses him. "Hey" He said as he dodged it. I tried to go back working on my music to keep my mind off Spencer but every now and then I take a quick glance on my phone to see if she replied. I'm getting tired of being just Lily to her. I want to meet her but something in me doesn't want to change anything, yet. I am such a coward. I sighed again.

Being my best friend, he knows my dilemma as he said "Stop! I'll help you meet her. All we need is a plan" Aiden place his hand on his chin and begins to pat his finger. It's kind of a funny look he got in his face as he tried really hard to think. I kinda feel sorry for him. Thinking and Aiden doesn't mix well.

"Well duh captain obvious. Like I haven't thought of that before" I hope he hears the sarcasm in my voice but it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't.

Suddenly, Aiden's eyes popped open like he's having a heart attack.

"What's wrong Aid?"

"Oh, oh, oh I have a plan but you need help and you won't like who" He said waving both his hands up.

"No, no, no, not again you know what happened the last time you had a "plan" I had to wear that ridiculous thing all night. Hell to the N-O if you can't spell, that means no Aid"

"Come on Ash. Shut your trap for a second and just hear me out"

"Imma gonna regret this later but ok fine let's hear your "plan" but I swear if it involves me wearing, looking or being an idiot, I'm out you got it?" Aiden nod and smiled happily. I don't trust his face he got something up his sleeve. Ugh, be ready to look like an idiot, Ashley. Here I go again, third person reference. I am crazy. I laughed at myself and listen to Aiden's so called "plan". I can't help but feel my heart's beat fast. This might actually work. I look at Aiden in a brand new light like seeing a unicorn. It's surreal. Sometimes he surprises me in a good way.

I sighed. "Will it work?"

"You'll never know until you try"

"I'm nervous Aid"

"Don't be Ash I'll be right here. Don't you want to officially meet Spencer?"

"I do but do I really need to call her?" For Aiden's plan to work I need to call the least favourite person I know. I haven't talked to her for so long. Just thinking about it makes me nervous and now I'm sweating bullets. That's just great!

"There's no other person who can help you but her"

"Ok, I'll do it. Go big or go home"

"No, go get the girl" Aiden hugged me. I can't contain the mix emotions I'm feeling. If Aiden's plan works, I'm going to meet Spencer. Will she be the same person when she talks with Lily? Will she be the same person Mr C talks about? or will she be a whole different person? All I can do is wonder. I'll find out once I meet her.

"Ok, but before we do this. I need to do something first"

"Call her?"

"Yeah that too but I have to do another thing"

"Well go on then pick up your phone and call her. I want to be here for that"

I picked another thing to throw it at him. He quickly stands up and run out the room.

"Ok, ok I'll leave. Geez, did I ever tell you you're so violent sometimes" He said before leaving.

I got my phone and stared at it. Building enough courage to call and ask a favour from her. I sighed as I got my phone. I dialled the number and hit call. "Here goes nothing" saying to no one in particular. Geez, Now I am talking to myself. I am officially lost my mind. Now I know what Aiden feels. I was snapped back to reality when I hear it rings. Ok maybe she's busy ok just another ring and if she doesn't pick up, I'll hang up. When I was about to hang up, she picks it up.

I hold my breath and said. "Hi"

"Hey" she reply.
