Ashley sat on the beach watching the waves crash upon the shore lost in her thoughts, as she let the cool sand slip through her fingers and fall to the ground. She had finally built up the courage to tell Spencer how she felt towards her and now sitting her she couldn’t fathom why. She had thought that the blonde felt the same way about her, as soon as she had spoken to her at that basketball training all those months ago Ash had felt their connection and it had all been wrong. Ashley was not one to listen to gossip especially when it came from Madison but she had seen Aiden kiss Spencer on the cheek it had been nothing but she had seen the way Spencer had smiled at the gesture and knew the rumour was true.

And now at this moment Spencer was out with Aiden and thoughts of what the pair could be doing swamped her mind…this was not healthy. And with that thought she hopped up wiping away any sand that might have stuck to her tightly fitted dark jeans. She was going to the club and she planned on getting so hammered she would not be able to think any longer. Ok it probably wasn’t the best idea but it was either that or sit here and get lost in thoughts of Spencer and Aiden kissing and touching and…ok she stopped those ideas. That was when she felt the wetness in her eyes and quickly Ashley blinked them back. Her chest had a pain in it that she couldn’t describe and all she wanted at that moment was alcohol to numb the pain.

However after her fourth shot and one JD and coke she felt the pain clamping tighter around her heart. Her eyes scanned the bar as she took in the faces that she knew so well, there was never anyone new in this place, that was when she noticed the girl at the end of the bar. She was a brunette with blonde highlights streaked down her wavy tresses. And her features looked as down as Ashley’s. Her piercing green eyes looked slightly broken. As the saying goes; misery loves company so Ashley took her new drink over to the girl and sat beside her.
