-Shay's POV-

I stare blankly at the ceiling above me recollecting the earlier events. Our eyes met but I looked away instantly. I can't even look at her in the eye, not after what I did to her. She still looked beautiful; she lost some weight but still had her curves. I wasn't expecting to bump into her today. I've come a long way since PLL; movies, TV series, advertisements and magazine covers, everything that any artist could ever imagine. I was in town for the promotion of my new movie and the PLL cast reunion. I had everything I could wish for but I lost the single most important person I care most, Ashley.

Seeing her reminded me of how much I hurt her. I didn't only lose my girlfriend but my best friend as well. It would be too cruel for me to ask her to be friends again with me after the pain that I've caused. I would lie if I'd say I didn't cry over her. I would be too proud if I say that I wasn't hurt. We had a relationship close to perfection. We lived together and had well paying jobs. We had plans for the future and it was all we could think about…it was all I could think about until I got scared. You had to do it Shay because it takes two mature people to make a relationship work.

FLASHBACK to when they were still together…

-Ashley's POV-

"Merry Christmas Shannon" I kiss her gently on the lips and gave her my present. We were in Canada celebrating Christmas as planned. The Mitchell's have been very welcoming of me.

"Thank you Ash. Merry Christmas" she handed me her gift too. It was a box wrapped on pink paper with pink ribbon on top. The gift shouts Shay all over it. She really has the love for pink. I carefully unwrap it and opened the box revealing a Love Book with the front cover titled 'Best friends you say? Buttah Benzo' I remember telling her I wanted to have our story written on a book and now I had it with me. I eagerly flipped through the pages. She had every page customized. On the first page was her version of our story, she wrote it so lovingly. There were pictures of us when we first met, when we had our chase, our vacation in Van last year and this year, our first date, all memorable pictures we had.

"Babe? Why didn't you finish the book?" I asked her showing the empty pages

"Because I want you to continue it. You will put everything in here, our fights, our dates, everything but I want you to leave the last empty page unwritten." She replies leaving me confused

"Why? Don't you want to finish this?" She let out a short laugh

"Because I don't want our story to end" she said softly and I found myself lost in words so I just kissed her to make her know what effect she had on me

"You're so sweet Shannon. I love you so much" When I closed the book I saw her dedication on the back. 'If you ever forget how much I love you read this book so it may remind you. I love you more than words more than anything. I could never find someone better because I already have the best. And if one day you wake up and I'm not around look inside your heart and know that I'm there and you will always be in mine.' Her words melt my heart like ice on sunshine. Receiving her gift, I know I'm not making a mistake of giving her what I gave her.

"It's your turn to open you present" I said smiling but still nervous of her reaction

She untied the ribbon and opened the box, inside it was a shiny silver key attached to a metal keychain shaped ButtahBenzo. It took her a while to process what the key was for but nevertheless she was wearing a big smile.

"Are you…" she trailed off

"Will you move in with me?" she pulled me by the neck for a kiss then wrapping me into a warm embrace nodding 'yes'.

We flew back to L.A at least 2 days before New Year. I wanted her to move in before the year ends some sort of luck for the upcoming year I guess. We had to ask Michaela's help for Shay's things. Before we left for Canada I've already set my room ready for her to move in. I emptied a part of the closet and took out everything inside the room it looked like how it was the first time I moved in there. I also asked my mom to clean up and prepare the house while we were gone.

"Have you been robbed?" She stated laughing at how the room looked

"Most likely" I laughed with her "Just kidding. It's not just my room now, it's ours so I want you to have a say on how you want the room to look like. I had my bed transferred to the guest room so we will be picking out a new one. I want to feel like I just moved in too."

"Awww. I bet we'll miss that bed. We had lots of memories in there" she said winking at me

"Actually I kind of wish I had that bed right here so I could do what I want to you" I leaned in to her for a heated kiss. I snaked my legs around her waist and her hands supported my weight. She pushed me to the wall for more support. I kept my arms on her neck wanting for her to get closer if it was even more possible. Our tongues danced in rhythm on our mouths. I could feel myself getting turned on as her kisses moved from my lips to my neck. As much as I wanted to get lost with the moment I had to reluctantly stop.

"What's wrong?" She asked concerned why I stopped in the middle of our moment

"We could continue this when we have our bed" she ignored what I said and went back to what she was previously doing. "Shannon" She tugged the bottom of my shirt "Babe stop" She pulled away putting me down.

"Fine!" she turned away and headed for the door. I walked behind her shaking my head. Shay's a good girl but sometimes she hates it when she doesn't get what she wants especially on the sexual department.

The whole ride to the furniture shop was silent. Shay blasted the music on the car and I didn't bother asking her to lower the volume down knowing she would get mad even more. On one of the traffic stops I turn to look at her and she had her grumpy face on I know I'm up for a big wooing tonight. Thankfully her tantrums went away when we were picking out the bed but I didn't get any that night though. The following day we spent it shopping for decorations and whatever she liked to place in our room and on the house. She bought different artificial flowers saying a house is never a home without those. My house was pretty decent already but Shay made it a lot better.

-Troian's POV-

We were celebrating the success of PLL movie after its first week; it was more of wrapping up everything and saying sweet things to everyone how much we loved working together. The atmosphere was quite emotional today. We've worked together for how many years and it's sad that we won't be working together every day anymore. We would still be promoting the movie for a while but it wouldn't be as frequent as when the movie hasn't been released.

Sasha, Shay and I were sitting outside the room where everyone was.

"I can't believe it all comes to an end now. I've spent like my teenage years with you guys" Sasha says as a matter of fact

"I know. You were just this little girl and now look at you. Lucy has had different relationships, Janel moved in with her boyfriend then broke up later on and now she and Brant are flirting with each other, Troian here got engaged for years and me and Ashley got together." Shay said. A lot had definitely changed since day one.

"So what are your plans when we finish all the tours and promotions?" I asked the two girls. Sasha just shrugged.

"I don't know depends on Ashley. Maybe we'll go home to Canada for a while then go on a vacation in Europe enjoy our time together before starting on a new project." I understood why Shay would like a long vacation; everyone on set deserved it after the hard work.

"Don't mind me asking, are you planning on settling down soon?" Sasha asked innocently and I saw Shay getting caught off guard of the question.

"Not really. I want us to take our relationship slow, I'm in no rush." Shay replies

"Well you've been together for almost a year and you moved in with her after your first month of being together. You're pretty much domesticated with each other, you both have stable incomes and plans for the future and I don't see any reason for you to break up so I guess all you need is a wedding" I tried to convince her.

"I think Ashley has that in mind already she's very serious with your relationship I wouldn't be surprised if she proposes here" Sasha and I laughed but Shay had a straight face.

"Shay what's wrong?" I asked worrying if we might have pressured her or something.

"Actually things between me and Ashley have…changed? I don't know on our first months I enjoyed being around her 24/7 but as time went by everything's just like a routine for me, a habit." She let out a sigh

"You feel like it went too fast?" Sasha asked hesitantly and Shay just nodded in response. I've been in the same situation as Shay before when Patrick and I first broke up. Don't worry Troi that won't happen to them.

A.N. Sorry for the delayed update. I busted my hand while doing my boxing exercise. I'll be posting another chapter later. It's going to be a full stretch of what happened to them when they were still together. Thank you so much for your reviews. :) Please keep reading and I'm very open to your ideas.

Emison: I'm planning to write an emison fic when I finish this or maybe when this almost come to end. I already have a concept, I hope you'll like it. Thank you for reading and reviewing. :)

Andi: I'll try my best to post 2 chapters a day if I could :) Thank you reading and reviewing :)
