One, Gage just said 'tap that' referring to yours truly. And secondly, Ashley just punched Gage right in the face. I'm sure Muhammad Ali couldn't have thrown a better punch. But I guess Gage was bracing herself for it. Her head jerked back but she didn't fall.
Ashley: "Watch your fucking mouth, Erikson." She snarls out, teeth bared. Her body is violently trembling and Sara and Kelly look really scared now. Gage rights herself and I see that her lip is split. She drags the back of her hand over her lip to wipe away the blood and spits right there on the cafe floor.
Gage: "Geez, Davies, if I knew you hit like a bitch I would have stolen Spencer from you a long time ago!" In a flash, Kelly is up and holding the flailing Ashley back from a smirking Gage.
Kelly: "Ashley, cool it." Kelly tries to calm the erratic brunette.
Ashley: "COOL IT?! DID YOU FUCKING HEAR WHAT SHE JUST FUCKING SAID?!"
Gage: "Yeah, Davies, cool it. What's the problem? Scared she'll like fucking me better?"
Ashley: "I'M GOING TO FUCKING MURDER YOU, ERIKSON!" She screams as she continues to flair her arms and legs at Gage as Kelly holds her back. Sara's face is white and she's is looking from Gage to Ashley unsure of what to do, much like me.
Gage: "Give me your best shot, rockstar." She baits again with a smirk, bouncing back on the balls of her feet like she doesn't have a care in the world as her hand motions Ashley to take another swing.
Ashley: "Why don't you ask Jess who the better fuck is, bitch!" At Ashley's words, Gage stops all movement, her face goes chalk white, and her mouth slacks. "Yeah, that's right, Erikson, you're after my sloppy seconds again?!" Okay this just got really serious. Now it's Sara's turn to jump up and hold Gage back.
I've had enough. I no longer feel funny in my pants.
Spencer: "STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU!" Their screaming back and forth drowns out my words and Sara and Kelly are no longer the only ones holding the two feuding girls back; Michelle and Tina are now each on one of the girls as they continue their yelling. "Ashley, look at me!" I'm right in front of her and I cup her face as I wait for her blazing eyes to meet mine. "Gwen, shut up!" I turn back to look at her. "Michelle, get her out of here!" I command Michelle who then basically drags Gage out of the cafe with the help of Sara.
Ashley is still making threats long after Gage is forced out of the cafe and she still won't look at me.
Spencer: "Ashley, sweetie, you got to look at me." I beg her quietly. Our eyes finally connect and a zap of emotion rushes through me as she stares into my eyes. She immediately stops trying to fight Kelly's hold and her entire body goes limp. "Ashley," I begin in a whisper. "Ash, you need to go apologize to Gage." I tell her as I cup her face. Everyone is still staring at us in shocked silence, not that I blame them.
