Spencer's POV
Ashley has been gone for almost three months and I'm still not over her. Not that I want to get over her. But I do wish her absence would hurt a little less.
"Are you listening to me?" Like conversations like now. I'm on the phone with Ashley and she's going on and on about some new friend she has made. Some guy that lives in the same building as them. It took her awhile to talk to him but eventually she did. She said she didn't want to revert back to that scared girl she was when she first meet me. That girl was lonely and depressed all the time.
"Yeah," I yawn it's almost midnight and we've been on the phone for hours now. "Um…so you and Andy are going to the movies tomorrow?"
"Yea, he wants to see some action movie. I forget the name of it."Ashley hums. "What are you doing tomorrow? Mia still having that party?"
"I believe so." I shrug even though she can't see me. "I don't plan on going. I'm just not in the partying mood. Plus she'll make me help her clean up after. I don't wanna." I whine.
Ashley laughs. "Well have fun with whatever you decided to do. I'm going to go to bed now. But I miss you."
"Enjoy your movie."
"I miss you." Ashley whispers again when I don't say anything back.
"I know." I sigh. "I miss you too. Good night." I hang up the phone before she can say anything else.
Lately I feel like we are moving apart. Last week I had asked Ashley when I should expect her back. Next month we graduate and before she left we had made plans for her to come back. We always said we would get back together if we were both single and so far we both have remained single. But Ashley always changes the subject or just says 'soon' when I ask when she's coming back and if we are going to get back together. To say I'm annoyed or frustrated is an understatement. I just love her so much and I feel like I'm losing her. And it doesn't helps when she says shit like that. It doesn't help at all. That's why I have to cut our conversation short when she starts talking about missing me. I'm tired of the misleading signals.
"Get up!" I'm woken up when Mia comes busting into my room, jumping into my bed.
"Wha…what's going on?" I snatch my pillow back from her and put it over my face. "Nevermind. I don't wanna hear it. It's too early. Go away."
"You know I don't know why I'm your friend. You're very rude."
"Go away."
"Good morning!" I groan when I hear Jessica's voice.
"Seriously guys?" I throw the pillow at Jessica.
"We're having girl's day!" Jessica sits on the end of the bed. "We are hanging out until party time."
"I don't remember that being on my calendar."I continue to lie in my bed.
"Damn you are pretty bitchy today?"Mia comments while grabbing my phone off the bedside table. "Oh…last phone call to Ashley." I snatch the phone before she could go through my text messages.
"Figures."Jessica shrugs. "She has brought out the bitch in you lately."
I just shake my head at them. "I'm not going anywhere with you guys."
"Whatever. We leave in thirty." Jessica leaves the room.
"Bring me a bowl of Frosted Flakes!" Mia calls after her.
Mia and I lay in silence for a couple of minutes before she pats my stomach playfully. "Will you please come out in play with us? Please. I miss you."
These last couple of weeks I have been blowing my best friends off to come home and soak. I really miss Ashley.
"I guess I could put up with you guys for a few hours."
"That's the spirit!"
Ashley's POV
"Are you okay?" Andy asks as we walk back to our apartment building after the movies. "You've been quieter than usual."
"I'm okay. I just…" I shake my head. Andy is a good friend but I haven't told him anything about my life. He only knows about my family but that's about it. "I'm just having some problems with my ex." I decided to confide in him.
"What he do?"
"She." I say firmly. "She's been ignoring me all day." I look over to see if he is paying attention to me. When I see that he is, I continue. "We usually text each other good morning but this morning she didn't respond."
"Have you tried calling her or messaging her since?"
"No."
"Maybe you should."Andy offers as advice.
I shrug. "Maybe."
We continue to walk in silence into we get outside of my apartment door. Andy rubs the back of his neck as we stand outside my door awkwardly. "What's up?"
"I have a confession." Andy starts. "I was planning on asking you out tonight."
"Oh."
"Yeah," He chuckles. "I had it all planned out. I was going ask if we could do this again but maybe as a date."
"Awww…." I smile. "That would have been cute."
"Really?" Andy grins. "Would you have said yes?"
I sigh and reach out to grab his hand. "Andy you're a great guy…"
He shakes his head with a sad smile. "Its okay, Ashley. I understand.
"I'm sorry." I really am. "I'm just…I still love Spencer and you know…like you're a guy."
Andy laughs at my joke. "Yeah, I know. Good night Ashley." Andy says taking his hand back.
"Hey," I call before he can get to far down the hall. "Friends?"
Andy grins. "Of course."
