“Why not?” asked Ashley.  You have no right to tell me who I can and cannot love.  You can’t help who you fall for.

“You and I are in love,” Aiden answered.  Last I checked, you were straight, Ashley! 

“No, you’re the one who’s in love, not me,” pointed out Ashley.  I love you, but not in the same way.  Look, I tried loving you while we dated, but it’s just not working for me anymore.

“Tried?” Aiden asked getting more annoyed.  We’ve been dating for two years!  You have to bring this up now?

“I know, but I never felt that way about you,” admitted Ashley.  Aiden went past Ashley and Ashley pointed out, “Aiden, you’re going the wrong way.  Your car is that way for you to go home!”

“I’m going to kill Spencer with my bare hands,” Aiden growled.  Ashley tried to pull Aiden away from Spencer’s house, but Aiden elbowed Ashley in the face.  He went into the house and Ashley tried to stop him.

“Aiden, stop it’s not her fault!” yelled Ashley.  Aiden angrily turned to face Ashley.  Ashley prevented Aiden to go any further.

“You weren’t into girls before you met her,” Aiden retorted.  Let me pass so I could beat the crap out of her for hitting on my girl.

“She’s a girl,” stated Ashley.  If you hurt her, I’ll have to hunt you down myself and that will be a promise!  You just don’t hit a girl, let alone Spencer! 

“Watch me,” Aiden said.  Aiden pushed Ashley.  He saw Spencer and punched her in the face.  Aiden continued to hit her.  Ashley ran towards them.

“Aiden, stop it!” screamed Ashley as she tried to pull Aiden away.  Glen appeared.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Glen asked Aiden angrily.  Glen grabbed Aiden by the collar.

“Why don’t you ask Spencer what was she hitting on my girl for?” growled Aiden.  There are other girls she could do that with, not with my Ashley.

“It still doesn’t give you a right for you to come to our house and cause a scene on my sister’s birthday!” Glen retorted.  I know my sister isn’t like that, so I suggest you leave, Dennison.  Go!  Aiden didn’t move though.

“How would you feel if Madison dumped you for a girl, Glen?” asked Aiden bitterly.  I’m sure it would burn you as much it has burned me when I found out.

“I wouldn’t be happy that we’re breaking up, but as long as she’s happy that’s what matters,” Glen answered.  If you claim to love Ashley so much, wouldn’t you want the same thing even if happiness wasn’t with you?  Ashley helped Spencer up.

“I’m so sorry about what happened,” Ashley sighed as she caressed Spencer’s cheek.

“It’s fine,” responded Spencer.  I barely felt anything to begin with.

“No, it’s not,” Ashley stated.  You don’t deserve to be treated that way.  Let’s go get you some ice.  Ashley led Spencer to the kitchen.

A couple of days later, Ashley covered Spencer’s eyes by her locker.  “Guess who,” whispered Ashley.  Spencer smiled immediately recognizing the voice.

“Ashley,” Spencer said.  You’re not really good at sneaking up on someone.  You know that, right?  Ashley uncovered Spencer’s eyes and chuckled.

“Well, it’s a good thing that I’m not pursuing a career in becoming a spy or in the FBI or anything,” joked Ashley.  I missed you.  Us having only two classes a day together not including our lunch period sucks, babe.  Ashley wrapped her arms around Spencer’s waist and placed a light kiss on Spencer’s lips.  Spencer returned the kiss.  Ashley stopped the kiss.

“I missed you too,” Spencer stated.  You’re right it does suck, but I’m taking AP courses and that’s a massive workload I have to carry.

“I don’t know how you almost have all AP classes,” responded Ashley.  Do you think that maybe you could put off homework for one night to go out with your new girlfriend tonight for our first official date? 

“I’d love to,” Spencer stated. It sounds like a plan to me, Ms. Davies.

“Good,” smiled Ashley.  I wasn’t going to take no for an answer anyway.  You’re stuck with me.  I love you.

“I wouldn’t want to have it any other way,” Spencer said returning the smile.  I love you, too.
