“Hey it’s not my fault she up and left you know.”

“I know. Sorry, it’s just that, I really looked up to her and she just… went.”

“Sorry Ash.”

“Yeah. Anyway why the hell am I telling you this shit?”

“Fine.” She spat. “Anyway, what do you see in Buffy?”

“Me and Buffy? Oh we don’t go out. But if we did what would I see in her? Hmmm. She’s just like you. Sweet and innocent to the untrained eye.”

“Haha, I’ll take that as a compliment.”

“Oh trust me it was meant as one.” They smiled at each other all the way to the bathroom.

“So what do you see in Ash then?” Faith asked the blonde.

“I don’t go out with Ash.”

“Oh really?” Faith smirked.

“Yes. Haven’t you got a girlfriend?”

“Spencer? I’m just her experiment, I know that and she knows that. Heck, I’ve used her enough time to get a girl’s attention. She sorta has a right to use me.”

“That is some screwed up logic.” Kyla said.

“Yeah but oh well. So B? Girlfriend?”

“Boyfriend.”

“Damn shame. Lost another hot girl to the male population.” She winked. Kyla rolled her eyes at her sister she has never met. “Soooooo Kyla. When did you find out my dad was, well, your dad?”

“When I was about 15. I asked my mum who my real dad was and she just pointed to the screen. Then about half a year later, after I turned 16, he, you know.” They both looked to the ground. “But then I got to meet Ash. It kind of made up for not meeting him.”

“Yeah, Ash was always just like him. The music, the girls.” Faith laughed. “I bet she was a right bitch to you when you first met her though eh?”

“Totally.” They all laughed.

“So you in love with that lovely sister of mine?” Ashley rolled her eyes.

“Ashley, in the hospital room, that was the first time we kissed. Well the first time we kissed and meant something by it. We’ve kissed before when she wanted to get a girl or something, but that was the first time I told her I wanted to give this a go.”

“Wow. First time with a girl?”

“Yeah. There weren’t really any gay girls in Ohio, and if there were, they wouldn’t tell anyone because of how small minded Ohio is. So all it was for them was a one-night-stand and I didn’t want that.”

“That’s sweet. How long have you known?”

“About a year. Faith doesn’t know that though, so please don’t tell her.”

“Promise. So that long and not one girl?”

“Nope.”

“Wow, you’ve missed out on a lot.” She chuckled.

“When did you first know?”

“When I was with my ex boyfriend Aiden-”

“Aiden’s your ex?” She asked shocked.

“How do you know- oh yeah, he brought you here. Yeah he’s my ex. I got… got um…”

“Ash, it’s ok, you can tell me.”

“I got pregnant with him. Then I lost it-”

“Ash I’m so sorry.”

“It’s ok. I mean it still hurts to think about it, but I’ve learned to deal with it. So things kind of fell apart after that. We went to this club, Gray; I’ll have to show it you one time. Anyway, I saw him making out with my best friend, Madison; I know you met her too. So I went out crying, then one of the bartenders at the time, Maggie, came up to me and things sorta left from there. That’s when I knew.” She explained.

“So it wasn’t just some rebound thing?”

“At first I thought it was, but then when I thought more about it, I knew it wasn’t.”

“Ash, just by looking at you I can tell you don’t open up to people, so thanks for letting me in.”

“Yeah it feels strange, I don’t even know you and already you know my life.”

“They say it’s easier to talk to strangers.”

“Except shrinks.” They both laughed as they again entered the hospital room. “Howdy people.”

“Did you just say ‘howdy’?” Buffy laughed.
