“I know about the good times and bad times, sis,” responded Ashley. I just hope you’re right about Spencer being alright. I’m really worried about her. Kyla walked away from Ashley and Ashley whispered, “Spence, I love you so much and I am going to stick by your side always. I will always be there for you and will always take care for you. Even though I really don’t know how to help you right now, I’m going to try to in any way that I can.”

Ashley really was sweet for saying that. I knew that those last couple of weeks of me starving myself was going to bite me in the ass. I needed to gain control in my life. Even though I was back together with Ashley, I felt like things were spiraling out of control and there was no way in hell I was able to stop the rollercoaster that was my life.

“You don’t have to feel sorry for me,” I said groggily.

“I’m sorry I woke you,” replied Ashley in an apologetic tone. I didn’t realize I was speaking that loudly.

“You didn’t wake me, I was half asleep,” I stated.

“It’s not about me feeling sorry for you, it’s about me being the best girlfriend I can possibly be, baby,” pointed out Ashley. It’s my job to worry about you and to make sure that you are

“Thanks,” I said with a sleepy smile.

“You’re welcome,” replied Ashley. You should get back to sleep. Want me to carry you to my room so you could have a better chance for getting sleep then being on this uncomfortable couch?

“No,” I stated. I’ll be fine on the couch.

“I’ll leave you to your dreams then,” responded Ashley.

“You’re always in my dreams, Ashley Davies,” I stated. Ashley smiled and ruffled my hair and left the living room for me to drift back to sleep.

A couple of days later, Ashley and I were having lunch at the quad. “Have a French fry,” said Ashley as she handed me a French fry.

“Alright,” I replied as I took a bite of the French fry.

“So you are alive after all, Carlin?” sneered Chelsea. Rumor had it that you killed yourself when Davies dumped you since no one else would bother to take a second look at you. It was the smartest move she ever made, but she didn’t crawl her way back to me. She actually was serious about you, I don’t know why, but she is. It looks like she hit her head on a rock again since it looks like you two are back together.

“Take back what you said to Spencer,” Ashley stated angrily. You have no right to treat her that way and I suggest that you leave us alone for good. We already went through this not too long ago; maybe you didn’t understand it clearly the last time. You never mess with Spashley.

“What if I don’t apologize?” asked Chelsea. You can’t tell me what to do.

“You’ll regret it,” Ashley answered as she stood up. You see, I am a girl of my word and you mess with me and Spencer and it may be the last thing you’ll ever do. Ashley was about to take a swing at Chelsea, but I stood up and stopped her. There was a time when you had to learn to fight your own battles. This was one of those moments.

“You don’t have to fight her for me,” I began. I could go fight her myself. You know what, Chelsea? I have had enough of you giving me grief and hitting on my girlfriend! I told you that you messed with the wrong girl! I wasn’t kidding!

“Wow, I was almost frightened,” replied Chelsea sarcastically. You know the only reason that she bothered to take you back was because she felt sorry for you.

“You will be frightened,” I stated angrily. After school at the courtyard, we’re settling this dispute.

“Babe, no,” said Ashley with concern. Ashley cupped my cheek. You don’t have to do this. I could handle this.

“Ash, you don’t always have to come to my rescue,” I replied with a sigh.

“Fine, you’ve got yourself a challenge,” responded Chelsea. It’ll be easy since I don’t know if you’re more of a Nicole or a Lindsay with your weight these days. Those last couple of weeks without Davies has done you no good. Chelsea left.

“You’re wrong I do have to protect you every single time because it’s just who I am,” Ashley explained as she put her arm around my waist. I don’t mind coming to your rescue. You are worth rescuing every single time, babe.
