“We’re back and this time we’re better than ever,” Ashley responded.

“Good,” stated Kyla.

“We couldn’t stay away from each other for that long,” I added.

“No, we couldn’t,” agreed Ashley with a smile.

“Congratulations on getting back together, girls,” Kyla said.

“You want to hug us don’t you?” asked Ashley knowingly.

“You so know me, Ash,” Kyla answered. Kyla went to hug Ashley and me. I told you there was still hope for you two, Ash! Ashley chuckled. Aiden, you owe me twenty bucks!

“Yeah, yeah,” said Aiden as he took out his wallet. At least, this bet was for a good cause this time. Aiden handed Kyla the twenty dollar bill.

“It was for a good cause,” Kyla stated. It was for the ‘so your girlfriend needs money to buy a house’ fund. So does this mean you’re moving back in or are you staying with the family?

“If Ashley wants me to,” I responded.

“Believe me, I want you, too,” smiled Ashley as she wrapped her arms around my waist. Ashley pressed her forehead against mine.

“Good, since I wouldn’t have it any other way,” I said returning the smile.

“So let’s celebrate us getting back together,” Ashley began with a smile. We could order a pizza to get some food in your system, babe. I need my girl to be healthy so we could be together for a very, very long time.

“Sounds like a plan,” I responded.

“I’m kinda lost,” said Aiden in a confused tone. Is that why you look freakishly skinny these days, Spencer?

“I’m going to kick your teeth in, Dennison,” Ashley replied angrily.

“It’s fine, Ash,” I sighed.

“No, it’s not,” said Ashley as she took my hand. Now I suggest you and your boyfriend leave, Kyla before I kill him for his stupidity.

“Very well,” Kyla replied. Let’s go get Chinese. Kyla dragged Aiden out of the apartment.

“Babe, I’m sorry about the dumbass,” stated Ashley in an apologetic tone.

“Don’t worry about it,” I responded. He’s only stating the obvious.

“Spence…”

Awhile later, Ashley and I were eating a slice of pizza. It felt like ages since the last time I had an actual meal. Did I really look that skinny? How could Ashley just look at me and not be repulsed by the sight of me? “What’s wrong?” asked Ashley with curiosity.

“How could you not be disgusted by the amount of weight I lost?” I questioned.

“I could never be disgusted by you, babe,” responded Ashley. You’re just unhealthy right now from those last couple of weeks that you starved yourself. The pizza will help you gain some of your weight back. Alright, I have an idea. Come on. Ashley helped me up and she led me to the mirror. I tried to look away to avoid seeing my own reflection, however Ashley wouldn’t let me do that. Tell me what you see, baby.

“I see a gorgeous brunette standing next to a disgust…

“No, no that’s not how the mirror works though,” Ashley began as she wrapped her arms around my waist. It could never see any flaws in Spencer Carlin. You’re perfect. Ashley kissed me on my cheek.
