I froze when I saw her on my doorstep, looking so hopeless and lost. All my feelings for her rushed back into my head. I even considered jumping into her arms and kissing her with all I had. I shook those thoughts out of my head, and once again realized how much pain she caused me.

“What don’t you get about leaving me the fuck alone Ashley?”

“Spence, just hear me-.”

“What? Are you hear to explain to me why you finally choose Aiden? Did he just fuck you and you’re here to tell me how good it fel-.”

“SHUT UP!” she screamed. I had never seen her that angry and hurt before. What set her off? I couldn’t be angry anymore as she started to break down into tears.

“Ash…what’s wrong?”

“H-He…Aiden r-raped me.” She struggled out in between sobs. I couldn’t even believe what she said. How could he do that to her if he loved her so much? I know I hate that douchebags guts, but he would never be aggressive like that. She was crying so hard, so I pulled her into my arms and hugged her, letting her cry into my shoulder. After her sobs finally softened, I let go.

“Did he do this to you?” I said, stroking the bruised on her wrists. All she did was nod. “Oh Ash I’m so-.”

“Don’t say anything Spence. I came here not to talk about what happened, but to talk about us. After all, I deserved to get raped after what I did to you.”

“No, don’t say that. No one deserves to get raped Ashley. Especially you.”

A small smile came across her beautiful features and my stomach turned into knots. Just as she was about to say something, someone came storming down the stairs.

“What the hell are you doing here Ashley?” Glen yelled. “And why did you hug her Spencer? After what that little whore did to you? Get the fuck out of my house Ashley. If I ever see you around here again, you’ll regret it.”

“Glen, back off!” I screamed.

“Why are you defending her Spencer? She broke your heart! You even threw away everything that reminded you of her. Every little picture and-.”
