-Ashley's POV-
Shay and I didn't rush me moving in. I was packing up all my stuffs that I would bring with me. My sister would man up the house now that I'm moving in at Shay's house or I mean our house.
"Ashley!" I heard Shay shouting from downstairs slamming the front door as she came in. Her voice sounded like furious or something but what could make her mad like that? "Ashley!" She said in a more demanding voice this time.
"Up here babe!" I shouted back continuing packing and within seconds she was stomping her way inside my room. "What's wrong?" Before I could turn to look at her, her phone had already met my face.
"Are you planning on telling me about this?" My eyes grew wide at an old photo of me and Tyler kissing. Oh shit.
FLASHBACK 1 YEAR AGO
"Ashley I dare you to kiss Tyler" A drunken Keegan said and I stood up walking near Tyler with a bright smile.
"Pssh! Kissing him used to be my job. Duh!" I roll my eyes and bent down to kiss Tyler. At first it was just me but before I could pull away he started kissing me back. I don't know if it was the right thing to do. I haven't really moved on from Shay but why the hell do I have to think about her. It's not like we're still together. Tyler deepened the kiss and I granted his tongue access to my mouth. On the middle of our hot make out we heard a camera snap. We pulled away and the gang was already sharing the photo with each other.
"Be sure to send me a copy!" I said proudly and went back kissing Tyler
END OF FLASHBACK
"Shay let me explain" I said as calmly as possible trying not to aggravate the situation.
"No shit." I could see Shay clenching her fist and breathing heavily. You're in big trouble Ashley Benson
"That was a year-ish something ago. We were on a mixer playing truth or dare and that was my dare. I was devastated of you leaving and…" Shay cut me off before I could explain further
"And hooking up with him was your last resort?" A mad Shay was the hardest to deal with. I love her but she could just get so mishandled at times.
"No! We were drunk and that photo should have been deleted! Where did that come from?" I would definitely beat the crap out of the person who showed it to her.
"Surely not from A and it doesn't even matter. What matters is this! Why didn't you tell me? You know what forget that. You don't have to explain because clearly I don't matter to you if I did then I would not have known about this from someone else." Shay's face was red of anger. I've never seen her as irate as she is right now. I can't let that small mistake from the past get in between us. I'm not gonna lose my girl again just because of something stupid.
"I know you're mad but hear me out. Yes I kept it from you because I don't want you to get jealous or feel bad but your reaction right now is beyond what I expected to be honest. If you're gonna ask if Tyler and I had a thing after that kiss yes we did. We didn't have sex but we went out for a couple of dates. It didn't last long we weren't even official. We decided to stay friends and put that part of the past behind." I remained calm despite Shay's outrage
"And that should make me feel better? Oh for God's sake Ashley! I spent our 2 years apart working out myself trying to be the person I dreamed to be and tried to move on or find ways to win you back. I never saw anyone when we broke up not a single date not even for a cup of coffee and there you were making out with Tyler and dating him afterwards. I could not believe this. What more secrets are you keeping away from me?" There were tears of anger and disappointment on her face.
"Nothing. That's the only secret I didn't tell you. Trust me Shannon I had good intentions" I tried to get hold of her but she waved me away.
"Trust? How could I? It's not like you cheated. You might even think I don't have the right to act like this but I really feel…betrayed. This is bullshit!" she threw her phone at the wall and it landed on the floor. She immediately stormed off the room. I wanted to follow her but I know it wouldn't do any good. I heard the front door slamming. Give her time to cool down Benson. In the mean time you have a head to cut off. There could only be few people who might have stupidly slipped and showed Shay the picture. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and dialed Keegan.
"Ashleyyy" Keegan greeted with tone of guilt. Oh yeah! Who else could it be
"Cut the crap Allen! Spill it out. You showed Shay the picture didn't you? What were you thinking? Did you know she just bolted at my house and strike me without giving me time to retaliate?" I turned the rage I was holding up on Keegan.
"Woah! Chill out Ash. I didn't do it on purpose. I'm sorry" I had to scold Keegan for a few more minutes before I hear out his explanation. "SHE DID WHAT?" I yelled on the phone. Shay's a Godzilla!
-Shay's POV-
I drove as fast as I could to my house after I left Ashley's. I know it happened when we were apart and I had no right to be jealous about it but what gets in to my nerves is the fact that Ashley had kept it hidden from me. It would've been easier if I heard it from her first and not overhearing it from guy conversations.
FLASHBACK AN HOUR AGO
"Tyler you're all kinds of stupid. Remember that one time you and Ashley made out at my mixer? I think I still have a photo of it on my phone" I was approaching the men's table. I was about to get take outs for me and Ashley when I saw Keegan, Tyler and Brant sitting on one of the tables. "Found it!" Keegan exclaimed and placed his phone at the center of the table. A picture of Ashley and Tyler kissing flashed right before my eyes. Without words I quickly grabbed the phone and sent it to my phone. The boys froze for a moment before Tyler broke the silence.
"Hey Shay I-" before he could talk about some nonsense excuse I cut him off
"Don't 'Hey Shay' me. What's this? What's the meaning of this?" I demanded for answers but none of the 3 bachelors answered me. "Cat got your tongues?" I tossed the phone on the table and picked up the glass of water and poured it on Tyler's face before slapping him. Good thing it was only us on the restaurant or else that would've been a very big scene that I made.
END OF FLASHBACK
I buried myself on the pillow. Just when Ashley and I were doing great we're now again facing another wave of mishaps. Why couldn't we just be happy without the dramas? I thought to myself. Ashley was just about to move in and we were going to make new memories together and it's gonna be perfect but now…moving in seems like another plan yet to be…postponed. I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep. I have to clear up my head before I go talk to Ashley again or else it would just be another round of me screaming at her. I'm the type of person of hates yelling and shouting at others but it's quite ironic now since that's what all I did while I was at Ashley's.
After an hour of crying myself to sleep I woke up and reached out for my phone only to remember that I threw it in Ashley's room. I went downstairs to get my home phone and curled up in the sofa. I dialed Ashley's number and right after few rings she picked up.
"Shannon" her voice was broken which signified that she had been crying since I left
"I need to tell you something. I think we need to…"
