“Hard? For you? How many girls have you hooked up with Aiden in the last few months? Sure seems so hard for you…”

“None of those girls meant anything to me…” He said quickly. I looked over at Kyla and saw tears forming in her eyes.

“You are such a bastard…” I said shaking my head at him. “You were there for me through all the times I was having problems with Spencer giving me someone to talk to…and through it all you were just trying to get back with me…”

Kyla let out a sob as she watched Aiden and I argue. Aiden turned his head and saw the tears flowing down her face and tried to reach out for her.

“Don’t…Don’t touch me…” She said backing up.

“Look I’m sorry Kyla…I really tried to give you everything I had but…”

“But you were still in love with my sister…I can’t believe I didn’t believe Ashley when she told me about how wrong I was about you…”

“Just get out…” I said opening the door wide. “I think you have done enough damage.”

Aiden looked at me with frustrated eyes and slowly made his way out of the house. I slammed the door shut and walked over to Kyla. She looked up at me with tear-filled eyes and I hugged her close.

“I’m sorry Ashley…I should have believed you…” She said crying into my shoulder.

“Look Kyla…guys suck…and that’s just how it is…I’m so sorry you had to hear him say that…”

She nodded her head into my shoulder and held onto me tightly. I broke the hug and stroked her face softly.

“I have to head back to the hospital to see Spencer…are you going to be ok here?”

“Can I come with you?” She said through some sniffles.

I wasn’t sure about bringing Kyla along but she looked so distraught that I felt I had to.

“Come on…” I said grabbing her arm and leading her out of the house.

****

I opened my eyes and felt the immediate pain hit me and I gasped. I looked around the room and noticed that Glen was sleeping in a chair in the far corner of my room. I couldn’t see anyone else and I sighed.
