“Yes, a test, well, sort of. Earlier, before it happened, I, uh, decided that I wanted this lunch to determine if a friendship between Spencer and I would ever work. And, well, we kind of failed.” Ashley shook her head, eyes focused on the gravely surface beneath her boots. “I can’t do it, I can’t be her friend. I know she wants to try, probably for Corey’s sake, to make things less awkward between all of us, but I just… I can’t. It’s impossible.”
“Impossible? Why?”
Head lifted, Ashley replied, “Because she’s… my ex.”
“You’ve never befriended an ex?”
“Well, yeah, I have, but that was back in high school. And it was a guy.” She sighed. “That doesn’t count.”
“Why? Because your ex-turned-friend was a guy? Or because it happened in high school?” Jenna asked, eyebrows scrunching together, trying to understand what her friend was trying to say. “If I’m not mistaken, your relationship with Spencer was back in–”
Moving away from the ledge, Ashley ran her hands through her hair. “It doesn’t count because my feelings for him weren’t the same as they were for Spencer. They weren’t as… intense. I was in,” she hesitated, suddenly aware of how much of her past she was exposing. She hadn’t been this open about her feelings for Spencer to anyone, not since their break-up.
“You were in love with her. It’s okay to admit it.” Jenna studied the quiet woman in front of her, carefully. “She’s the one, isn’t she?”
“The one?” A dark eyebrow rose. “What are you talking about?”
“The one that messed you up, that made you who you are today.”
With narrowed eyes, Ashley folded her arms across her chest. “I didn’t realize I was so messed up.”
Jenna sighed, “I didn’t mean it like that. What I meant was, because of her, you choose not to be in relationships, you run from love.” Taking a tentative step forward, she added, “Losing her – that ruined you, didn’t it?”
“Jenna, I didn’t lose her. You’re overlooking one important fact here – I broke up with her.”
“Only because you thought she was drifting away from you and that there wasn’t any room for you in her new life, right?” The hairstylist kept her eyes trained on the small woman before her. “You were still in love with her when you ended it; your feelings for her hadn’t changed. Over time, you had to let her go, just like she did – you lost each other.”
Ashley’s brain was on overdrive as thought after thought swirled around, making her head spin, throb. Eyes squeezed shut, she reached up and pressed her fingers against her temples, thinking that would relieve the pain somehow.
“She’s the reason you’re afraid to let anyone in, isn’t she?”
Ashley’s eyes blinked open, and her arms dropped to her sides momentarily before being lifted and wrapped around herself. “No, she’s not the only one, there’s a long list of people who contributed to that.”
“But, she tops the list, right?”
“You know what,” the brunette spat out, shaking her head, keeping her eyes averted, “I don’t want to talk about this anymore. It’s late, I’m tired.” With that, she made her way over to the roof’s exit, swung open the heavy door and rushed inside, leaving Jenna alone on the rooftop.

FINALLY!!!!! I’m sorry, was I yelling? I didn’t mean to. Well, maybe I did. I was just voicing my feelings. And thank you doodle for promising not to dangle any more carrots in front of our poor noses. Seriously, you were driving me completely crazy there! But you know, everytime you update, it always puts a smile on my face and I’m always so anxious to read what you have next. And I swear, sometimes, I don’t know if Spashley will EVER get together!! lol You are really drawing out the anticipation. Seriously, it’s sky high for me right now. I swear, it’s gonna be fireworks when they hook up!! But thanks for keeping at it because I really do look forward to it all the time. =D
