Her mood never faltered

“Is it because you’re afraid to be seen in public with me?” I cringed as I asked that.  

She didn’t respond again. Oh ain’t this fucking great! I got myself a mute!

“Ashley you’re going to have to help me out here, I know you’re not fucking mute, so please explain to me why we can’t be together!” I asked in annoyed tone.

“Jesus Spencer that’s not it and you know it. I want you but… I’m with Glen” She said as she got up. Oh no not this again, this running away shit.

“Once more you tell those lies to me. Why can’t you just be straight up with honesty? When you say those things in my ear why do you always tell me what you wanna hear?”

“Ashley you can’t keep running away, the more you push me away the more pain you cause here. I pointed to her heart “You are who you are Ash.”

Damn it just listen to your heart, and not you’re freakin’ mind.

“Spencer you knew exactly what you were getting into.” She hissed. You knew I was with Glen and you still tried to pursue me.” Oh that’s real rich Ashley, throw it back at me. FUCK!  

“You’re absolutely right, I’m the idiot here, and I’m the one at fault. I thought you were the one but I guess I was wrong. You know what I’m just going to go, good luck with tomorrow’s game. Oh and tell Glenie he’s won.” I sighed and took on last look of her. I forced a smile through the tears and walked away.

——————-

“Aiden I need you to pick me up.”     

“Spencer, what happened?” Aiden asked

“Just fucking pick me up. Okay? Thanks.” I shouted in the phone. Shit, I shouldn’t have been a bitch to him.

I sat for about twenty minutes consumed in my thoughts. Everything was crumbling around me and there was no way I could fix it.

“Hey c’mon kid, get in.” He nodded then smiled.

“Aiden I’m sorry for being a bitch, I had no right to take my shit out on you.” Where would I do without him? He was my rock, especially during times like these.
