“No,” Ashley spat angrily.

Ryan sighed. “You promised you wouldn’t get mad.”

“What the fuck do you expect Ryan,” the rocker retorted throwing her hands up. “Why the fuck would you even ask me that?”

“It’s just, I’ve seen the looks she’s been giving you the past month,” Ryan reasoned. “Then you two went into the bathroom … and you were in there for a bit and I thought-”

“You thought I was fucking her,” Ashley hissed. “Ryan, I’m with Spencer. We’re getting married for fuck’s sake. I’m in love with her!”

“I know,” the bass player said quickly. “I’m sorry. I just know how persuasive Heather can be and how easily she could get to somebody. I didn’t mean to hurt you Ash you know that.”

“There’s nothing going on between Heather and I,” Ashley said in a stern voice. “There will never be anything going on between the two of us ever. She’s a part of the past.”

“Good,” Ryan nodded. “That’s good.”

The rocker gave him a look of disbelief and hurt. “Would you honestly think I would cheat on Spencer? That … that I would throw away everything we have just like that.”

“I don’t trust Heather and her influence.” Ryan replied.

“Is my past always gonna come back to bite me in the ass,” Ashley growled annoyed. “I’m sick of having to apologize or having to prove to everyone that I’ve changed… I’ve fucking changed and people still think … I’m a fuck up.”

The bass player shook his head. “Nobody thinks that-”

“Ryan, you just asked me if I was fucking Heather,” Ashley hissed.

“I was wrong to ask okay,” Ryan rebutted. “I’m sorry.”

“You should be,” the rocker replied.

“Hey,” Eric yelled from the other side of the room. “Look who I found out in the hallway.”

Spencer entered the room and gave everyone a shy wave. Ashley smiled and immediately made her way over to the blonde. Ryan watched her go with regretful eyes.

“Hey baby,” the rocker gave the blonde a small kiss on the lips. “What are you doing here? I thought you were tired.”

“Nothing coffee can’t fix,” Spencer replied with a tiny yawn. “Besides, I told you, no matter how tired I am or how early it is I want you to wake me.”
