Memories – (Chapter: Regret)
I am glad that we are finally going to have this time together. The last two days have been a haze of crying, drunkenness and high powered emotion. Although I do not believe this evening will be emotion-free; it will at least be expected, private and without a timeframe. She told me she would follow me in her own car. I am not sure if this is good or bad. Good, because it may ease any feelings of being trapped. Bad, because it means she might want to leave. I put those thoughts aside, trying to focus on what Clay had told me, ‘it might not happen overnight’. I will not give up. I will not let her go again. I can’t.
We pull into Venice Beach around 6:30 and I am glad to see that most of the crowds have called it a day. There are still a few die hard beach dwellers trying to soak in the remaining rays of sun and a couple rollerbladers on the bike path, but other than that we have our privacy. She pulls into the spot alongside of me and I see her take a deep breath before exiting the vehicle. It dawns on me that she may have wanted the alone time in her car to compose her thoughts and what she wanted to say. I feel more optimistic about the outcome of today. I know that the future of both our happiness rests solely on this conversation. I remove the basket I had packed for us and we walk silently along the beach looking for the perfect spot. We walked underneath the pier and settled on a spot just beyond it. I placed the basket in the sand and spread out the wide blanket. Ashley lost her shoes and rolled her pants to her knees.
I can’t describe the silence. It was uncomfortable, because we know what is at stake, but it is comforting being in each others presence again, regardless of anything else. She sits on the blanket, legs bent and ankles crossed, with her elbows on her kneecaps and hands clasped, just staring at the ocean. I sit down next to her, but my legs are out straight and I lean on my hands, one of them resting behind her back. The sun was beginning its slow descent to the horizon and I leaned my head on her shoulder. “I wish I hadn’t left. Everything would have been a lot easier.” Her voice was low and full of regret. I raise my head off her shoulder and look at her as she glances at me, then back at the ocean.

love the dialogue. for a while there i thought you were going to still go for the neat unrealistic love conquers all thing but whew, glad you’re still letting Ashley put up a fight. Man i was so excited a few chapters ago when you had me thinking that Ashley had just given Spencer a taste of her own medicine. now had you went in that direction, that would have been awesome. maybe you can write a fan fic with an alternate ending? lol. anyways, in lieu of Ashley putting up a fight, what happened to the girl that she had “obviously been intimate with for awhile” when Spencer first saw her again. ok, i’m babbling but great job as always. =)
