I knew better than to trust that girl! It’s Tuesday and I haven’t talked to Spencer since our parting after dinner. She won’t answer my calls, and ignores me in the hallway. Why the hell did she tell me all that bull shit last Saturday? What does she want out of me? Is she trying to make me miserable? WTF!! But, it’s my own fault.

“What’s going on? Cause look, I can’t deal with another heart break okay. Tell me now if you’re gonna bail again. Or if this is you bailing now. I can’t do this again, especially knowing how you feel about me.”

“I’m bailing… Ashley I’m sorry but this isn’t me okay. I have a reputation – a big one, one that I need to uphold. I can’t be with you. I’m not like you, I don’t have the strength to leave my friends and…”
