P.S. I Love You

I was sitting at home still wallowing from Brooke leaving. Part of me wanted to win her back and make her marry me like she was supposed to. Spencer wasn’t really taking any of this well to say the least…but what am I supposed to do? Just go crawling back to the girl that broke my heart? People talk about it like it’s easy…but it’s really not.

“can you stop sitting in this house of depression and come out with me tonight?” Aiden asked

“nope” I told him folding my laundry on the kitchen counter

“I don’t understand why you’re staying in this house…and I also don’t understand why you haven’t talked to Spencer since Brooke left.” He told me

“Brooke’s supposed to come back Aiden…” I told him “…she’s supposed to come back”

“and you’re telling me that you wanted to marry Brooke and didn’t have any feelings for Spencer?” he asked

“no…I love Spencer, but I’m in love Brooke…I asked her to marry me Aiden, I could picture spending the rest of my life with her and if we walked down that aisle I would have said yes.” I told him flat out

“so you know you’re breaking Spencer’s heart?” he asked me

“I’m not breaking her heart…she’s fine…” I told him

“look…I know you’re looking for love Ashley, but this isn’t the way to find it, and sure love is supposed to be difficult, but when the one you love moves away…then maybe it’s not as real as you thought it was” he explained then my phone rang

“hello?” I asked answering it

“hi Ashley…” she replied

“Brooke hey…” I said nearly breathless “…how are you?”

“I’m good…how about you?” she asked

“uh better now…I was starting to think you weren’t going to call me back…” I explained

“yeah uh what are you doing now?”

“just sitting at my house with Aiden…” I told her

“look Ashley, I need to tell you something”

“okay…” I replied

“I’m dating someone…” she said and I was silent “…hello?”

“huh? no I’m still here…” I told her

“are you alright with that?” she asked me
