A/N: This maybe a little graphic so if you want you can skip the first part of this chapter. So a lot of you have expected Ashley being Brooke. No surprise there. I hope this explains Ashley's actions. Anyways, wow so many reviews, thank you thank you. Happy me=faster updates so here's the end of our deal. Keep the reviews coming!
Bou-j525: Thanks for the long review. I am a bit of a lurker as well hehe so I appreciate you dropping by.
Googoo4u: Unfortunately, it's not true. My boyfriend is my best friend. I just call him that.
Confused reader: sorry if my story confuses you. I have to confess I initially meant Brooke to be a different person but I wanted to make Ashley more intriguing. So I figure to make Brooke and Ashley the same person. It's more fun, right? I sure in this chapter it will either make you less confuse or more. Hehe please bear with me, my mind is all over the place. I have so many ideas for the story that I am also confused.
Chapter 18
Ashley's POV
I scratch my head. God, I hate wearing this wig. It itches. Once I got to Spencer's school, I instantly search for that fucking head bimbo. I've warned her not to lay a finger on my Spencer ever again and she still did not listen. I clinch the item on my hand harder. If she won't listen, I will make her. I head towards the gym and I see her. It's typical for a head cheerleader hanging around the gym. She's all over this one sweaty basketball player who I assume to be the star player. I roll my eyes at the irony. I move over to her and shoot a heated glare towards the player silently telling him to leave. He shivers and immediately leaves
"Madison, can we talk?"
"Who the fuck are you?"
"Watch the language please. I just want to talk. Can we go somewhere a little more private?"
"What if I say no?"
"Then I will have to insist"
"Well fine"
We walk in the locker room and thanking God that it was empty. I turn, grab her and wrap my arms around her neck, instantly putting her in a head lock. "What the fuck?" She shouts. I kick her behind the knees making her fall down. I supported her weight not letting her fall completely "What did I tell you about the language?" She struggles harder trying to grab anything she can, making me tighten my grip around her neck as she desperately catches her breath. Once she was completely on her knees, I take the item in my hands and randomly glide it ever so roughly across her hair, locks of her hair falls down the floor.
"I am the sister of Kyla Woods and a good friend of Spencer Carlin. If you ever and I mean ever lay a finger on them again, you better be prepared for the idea of being bald for the rest of your pathetic life. Do I make myself clear?"
She struggles harder trashing her arms around
"I said DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" She nods numerous times. I let her go. She falls and gathers her hair in a bunch as if she can put it back together.
"And oh by the way, Ashley Davies sends her regards" I turn towards the door
"You're not going to get away with this" She cries "If my father hears about this. Kyla and Spencer are done" clinching her beloved hair
"I don't think so. Your father, you say? You mean the man who owns Duerte Group for Companys?" She nods "Do you know who the biggest stockholder in his company is?" I walk around her and bend to meet her eyes, her eyes wide open "Did you hear me? I said, do you know who's the biggest stockholder is?" her mouth agape formed a perfect O realizing what I was trying to say "Yes, that's correct. Ashley Davies. So if you still want your daddy to buy you shiny things you better keep this on the down low, okay? We don't want your daddy's little company to be liquidated now do we?" She continues nodding and crying harder
I leave her still sobbing on the floor. I know it was kind of mean but she needs to learn her lesson. Maybe she can finally leave Spencer and Kyla alone. I walk towards the quad with a big grin on my face. I see Spencer but she has this look that I cannot make out.
"Sorry I'm late" I said.
"Are you Ashley?"
My body froze. Goosebumps runs all over my body, sweat trails down my face as I stare at her. A mixture of anger, hurt and confusion playing on her eyes. Did I hear her right? Did she just ask if I was Ashley? Did she see pass my façade? How can she? My mouth fails me. For the first time in my life I was speechless. How did I end up in this situation anyways? Why did I decide on deceiving her? I should have known she will eventually found out I was Brooke.
Flashback
I have been using my alias Brooke Woods, which is the combination of my middle name and mother's maiden name, numerous times to avoid the media. Sometimes it's hard being a famous rock star in order to have a certain amount of privacy I need to be clever but now listening to Aiden about his so-call brilliant plan of calling my mother and asking for help. I know for a fact that Kyla doesn't know who I really was because my mother politely insisted on not telling her so the media won't know her and follow her around. And so she can live the life of a typical teenager. Where was this mother when I was growing up? I hated my mother in the past no I loathe her but maybe also envied her a little. I felt that she abandon me and my dad, married a woman and made another family. I envied their little perfect family and where was I? Spending my life on the road with my dad, don't get me wrong I loved it but sometimes I wonder what if? It was a good thing that Mr C, my guardian angel, suggested that I give her another shot and so I did. That was when persona Brooke Woods was born.
And now here I am holding the phone, waiting for my mother to pick up. She picks up and I hold my breath and said. "Hi"
"Hey" I haven't spoken with my mother for so long
"How are you?" do small talk that always works
"I'm fine sweetheart and you? What brings you to call me? Do you need anything?" OK then my mom apparently doesn't do small talks
"I just finish my tour and I want to spend time with Kyla and of course with you and Cynthia as well. I know I haven't done that for quite a while so can I come and visit?" Oh great Ashley now you're guilt tripping yourself for not spending time with your step sister. Great!
"But of course sweetheart. You need not ask. You're always welcome here"
"Thanks mom so I gotta go. I'll ring you later, ok? Bye" I hung up before letting her say goodbye
"What'd she say?" Aiden said
"She said yes"
"I knew it. Yes!" He fist pump the air "Now you got a way to meet Spencer. Am I awesome or am I awesome?"
"The problem now is I get to meet her as Brooke Woods, you dumbass"
"Oh right" he drop his head in shame "What are you going to do?"
I thought for a moment. Maybe it's a good thing that Spencer's going to meet me as Brooke. From what Mr C told me she has been my fan for so long. It's known worldwide I am out and proud so it's not far fetch that she developed a little crush on me. I've dealt with craze fan girls before and I don't want that to happen. I want Spencer to see pass this persona of badass rocker chic that is Ashley Davies. There is more to me than that and I want to show her. But I know it's hard to do, this deception I am planning to do might be a little selfish but I want Spencer to love me for me. I decided on this moment to be Brooke Woods. I want her to love me for all the right reasons not the wrong ones.
I pinch the bridge of my nose and I sigh. I told Aiden my plans
"That's insane Ashley. There is a reason you don't hang out with Kyla too long so she won't recognize you. What makes you sure you can fool Spencer?"
"I have to try Aid. Like I told you, this is for me. I don't want to always doubt she likes me for my fame, money or stature. And besides, I am not asking for advice. My mind is made up. I will be badass rocker chic Ashley and little sweet PR Brooke"
Aiden shivers "You mean you're going to show Spencer the Ashley I know who's on tour, the bitchy diva Ashley? Babe, I love and all but you can be a completely different person on tour. I don't think that's a good idea"
"Shut up I am not a diva" he knowingly looks at me "Yea yea yea sometimes I can be a little bit overwhelming"
"Little bit? You're a lot overwhelming. Remember that time you made someone cry or that one guy who pissed himself"
"But that's funny though" we both laughed
"Anyway, I'm just saying if you do this. It's your funeral" I glare at him. Aiden lift his arm defensively "So are you up on playing Ashley, Brooke and Lily? God just saying it makes my head hurts"
God, I never thought of that. I wasn't planning on telling Spencer that I was Lily but playing the part of Ashley, Brooke and Lily. Can I actually pull this off? I am starting to think I may develop a multi personality disorder after this.
End of Flashback
"Well are you going to just stand there all day?" Her husky voice snaps me back to reality. Her hands on her hips "Are you Ashley Davies?" anger evident on her voice
I move close to her, lean down to her face. Our nose barely touches as I lean further to whisper on her ear, her body stiffens. She places her hand on my chest as my heart skips a beat. Her hand warm even through my shirt. "Took you long enough?" I smirk
