A few hours into the party we had already met up with everyone and were having a good time. After we danced for a little bit, Spencer and I went over to get something to drink. We saw Aiden.

"So, I couldn’t help notice you moves out there… would you like to dance?" Aiden asked, pretending we didnt know each other.

"Umm.. I’m not here alone so let me ask my lady friend." I said, going along with it. "Spencer can I dance with this fine gentleman that I’ve never seen before in my life."

"Normally I’d say no, but he’s pretty cute.. so.. yeah."

"She said yes." I said to Aiden.

"Super."

We danced for a few songs.. him, busting out his lame straght guy moves like the robot and stuff. It was funny though. I swear if I was straight Aiden would be my first choice. But I’m not, so… have I said that before? Hell, I don’t know.

"Try this one…" He said, then he started doing the Sprinkler, and making me do it with him…. haha, I just said "do it with him" Sorry for the immiturity there, folks. I’m only 17. Just then a slow song came on and he laughed nervously. I smiled at his nervousness and put my arms around his neck and his found their place around my waist.

"This brings back some memories." Aiden sighed happily.

"Yeah, it does." I said, remembering when him and I were together….

"Do you ever wonder what it would be like if.. if maybe, we hadn’t lost the baby?" He asked hesitently.

"Yeah, I do, Aiden. Are you hitting on me?" His eyes got big and he choked on air.

"What? No! No, Ash, I just.. we had fun. I liked being with you. But we’re at different places now and I’m okay with that." He paused. "Okay, so maybe.. maybe I’ll always have a special place for you in my heart, but I like where I’m at right now… And I look at you with Spencer and you’re ten times happier with her then you ever were with my.. And at first, thinking about that didn’t fit right with me, but then Kyla came along, and all I can think about is her…" He paused again. "Look, Ashley, I will always love you.. But, I just… I think I love Kyla more…. I’m not in love with you like I used to be. You’re my best friend." I smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"I love you too… I’ll always have a special place for you, too, Aiden. But, not the same kind of place I had for you two years ago."

"I’ve been wanting to say that to you for a while…"

"And for the record," I began. "Aiden, you’ll always be my best friend."

"Hey who’s that with Spencer?" He said when we were walking back to her. My eyes got big realizing who it was.

"Kyle."
