"You’re beautiful and look amazing. Love you too," I said before pressing end. I ran my hands through my hair, and rubbed my temples. "Ky, I’m gonna take a nap. Wake me up in two hours!" I shouted as I crawled under my covers and drifted to sleep with Spencer on my mind.

Ashley’s Dream

"If there was one thing you regret the most, what would it be?" A voice in the darkness asked.

I did a 360 to look for the owner of the voice, but couldn’t see anyone. I was surrounded by emptiness, with a spotlight on me. 

"Are you happy lying to Stephanie?" A different voice asked. Within seconds, my ears were being pounded with questions asking why I didn’t tell Spencer how I felt earlier, and why I’m mentally cheating on Stephanie. I quickly brought my hands to my ears trying to make everything around me shut up as I crouched to the ground.

The next thing I knew, I was strapped into a chair with restraints on my wrists and ankles. I tried to get out, but I couldn’t. After a few minutes, I finally gave up. I pounded my head against the back of the chair multiple times before a flash of light appeared before me. I squinted my eyes as a figure walked towards me.

"It’s too late Ashley," an angelic voice said. "You’ve taken too long. You’re ten years too late," she said as she walked towards me and sat on my lap. I closed my eyes and inhaled. She placed her hand on my cheek and placed a light kiss on my forehead.

"Please give me more time," I said just above a whisper as I took in her touch.

"It’s too late. I’m married," she said showing her left ring finger. Like magic, she was suddenly wearing a beautiful white dress. She looked absolutely breathtaking. She sat up, and the guy she was at the concert with was waiting for her wearing a tux. She walked towards him, and he held his arm out for her. "Goodbye Ashley. Goodbye forever," she said before turning her back and walking away with the guy, and vanishing in thin air.

My head was once again pounding against the chair as I squinted my eyes tightly. "It’s just a dream," I repeated to myself over and over again.

My body was shaking, and I could faintly hear Kyla’s voice. "Ashley, wake up," she said. My eyes fluttered open, and was greeted with Kyla up in my face.

"Wha—what Ky?" I asked as I wrapped my hand around my wrists and rubbed them. I sat up, and Kyla was sitting at the edge of my bed.

"Are you okay Ash?" she said concerned. "You were shouting something about more time in your sleep."

I rubbed my eyes, and looked around the room. "I need to find her."

"Find who? Spencer?" I nodded my head.

"I need to tell Spencer how I feel about her. I don’t care if she’s straight. I just need her to know I love her, and will always be there for her," I said as I threw the sheets off of me and swung my legs to the side of the bed. "I need to tell her before its too late."

"Too late for what?" Kyla asked as she followed me towards the door.

I stopped at the door. "Too late before my chances are gone," I said as I walked outside the room.
