"A... A... Ashley? I mean..... ummm..... Ms. Davies?" I can't believe she even has the gutts to call me, after what she did.
"Please. You know you don't have to call me that."
"Well I think it would be appropriate, since you are just my teacher." I said through gritted teeth.
"Spence..."
"Don't call me that. You don't have the right."
"I'm sorry."
"That's not enough." I hate that. People think that with a simple sorry, everything can go back to the way it was. And then they act like nothing ever happened. I pisses me off so bad.
"I know I messed up, but you have to try and understand."
"Understand what?"
"I didn't want to see you get hurt!"
"That's bullshit."
"I know I hurt you that night and I didn't want to see that again. Aiden makes you so happy. And he will never make you cry tears of pain. He's not like me."
"What does that mean?"
"I would have done something. I know I would have. Either cheat on you, or take out my anger on you, or something. I would have ruined everything."
"You already did."
"I know, but I.... I want another chance." She did not just ask me that.
"Are you out of your mind? After everything that happened, you expect me to just let you back into my life again. Just like that? I can't do that.
