Chapter Nine

Spencer’s P.O.V.

–

“Give me another chance to make things right with you,” Ashley pleaded. I never heard Ashley’s voice like this unless her heart was broken. Ashley wasn’t the type of girl to beg or plead. Did Kelly dump her again? “I won’t hurt you anymore, I promise.” I wish I could believe her, but being hurt by her so many times, I started to be unsure of what to believe and what not to believe, let alone if I should forgive her.

“Ash, it’s a little too late for that,” I sighed. Actually it was two years late for her to try to make amends with me. “I’ve given you too many chances. What is one more chance going to do? Break my heart even more?” Or was it her ploy to tear my heart out completely? I was about to walk away, but Ashley pulled me back towards her.

“Stay here and talk to me,” said Ashley in desperation.

“Why should I even bother?” I asked with curiosity. I had no idea what Ashley wanted from me. What was her sudden interest in wanting our friendship back and her really bad attempt to try to fix it? Did she want someone to hold her hand when everything fell apart for her as it usually did with the types of girls she picked? I was about to walk away from her, but she stopped me.

“Because I love you,” answered Ashley. To say that I was astonished at Ashley’s statement was the understatement of the century. Maybe she meant that she loved me as a friend.

There was no way that Ashley Davies was in love with me. I wasn’t her type. Either way, I have no idea what the ‘I love you’ meant.

I was looking deeply into her beautiful brown eyes and Ashley was staring at me flabbergasted at her own words as well. This means one thing and one thing only: this wasn’t going to end well. These things never did. It was like living in a teen drama.

Was this another one of her mind games? Was this the real deal? I highly doubted that it was the real deal. Did Kelly dump her and she wanted me to be the rebound girl?
