Chapter 50: The
Hardest Thing
Well, me and Brian arrived at the hotel. To find Justin and
Leighanne waiting and talking. We looked at each other and I told
Brian that I would talk to Justin. We both agreed that we
wouldn't ask what happened because it would only send us into
another argument.
"Justin, we need to talk," I told him.
"Sure," he said. Me and Justin drove to a nearby beach where I told him the bad news.
"Justin, you were everything to me, I thought I could have spent the rest of my life with you, but then you yanked me around on a chain. You told me you loved me, then next I found out that you liked this girl named Melissa, I thought we could have had something really special.." I said looking into his eyes.
"Yeah, I know I screwed up, but let's just forgive each other.. and kiss and make-up. Like we used to," Justin said coming toward me.
"No, because it isn't that simple.. you told me one thing and you did another.. and relationships don't work that way. I need to be appreciated and that wasn't coming from you," I told him firmly. "So, I will always love you with all my heart.. but it's time you moved on and found someone else. But if you ever need someone to talk to.. please don't hesitate to contact me," I told him.
"It's over?" Justin said.
"Yeah it is," I said sympathetically.
"I don't want to lose you Ashley, you're everything in my life." Justin said. I held out my arms and gave him a hug.
"It's gonna be okay.." I told him reassuringly.

"Hey, Brian.. What are you trying to tell me?" Leighanne said.
"I am in a relationship with someone else whom I dearly love." he said.
"Brian, you can't leave me.. I need you I gave up everything for you!!! Please, I love you!" Leighanne said crying.
"Leighanne, please.. don't make this harder than it has to be," Brian said.
"Harder than it has to be? No, sweetie.. I gave up my movie.. I stopped recording to spend time with you.. and I come all the way out here, and you tell me that you're involved with someone else? Who is 6 years younger than you are?" she yelled at him.
"Leighanne, not to be rude but you're 6 years older than me," Brian pointed out.
"Fine, I get it Brian Littrell, don't ever speak to me again," Leighanne yelled and stormed out of the hotel as I was walking into it.
"Bitch you stole my man, I will never forgive you for that, do you understand me?" Leighanne said.
"Brian came to me, so I guess you weren't satisfying him they way a real woman should have been," I sneered at her.
"Excuse me? you are half the woman I am!" Leighanne shot back.
"Please.. you're pushing your prime.. why don't you go off and do your little movie?" I said to her.
She lunged at me. I screamed and she started hitting me.
"Get off me!" I yelled at her.
"Make me!" she yelled. So I hit her back. Nick broke up the feud before it got any worse.
"Now what the hell is going on here?" Nick asked looking at my torn shirt and Leighanne's tousled hair.
"She started hitting me for no reason," I told him.
"Please, just get her away from me," I yelled at her.
"Make me!" She yelled back.
"Leighanne, come on this is not like you.." Nick started.
"Yeah, well up until today I was with someone whom I dearly loved until she started casting her little spells," she said pointing her finger at me. Just then Brian emerged from the elevator with Justin.
"I'll see you later man," Brian said.
"Yeah peace out," Justin said and then he saw me.
"Ashley, what happened?" Justin said.
"Ask her she attacked me!" I said.
"Leighanne, why did you do this? No I don't want to know. I'm gonna ask you to leave," Brian said.
"Fine," she said and walked out.
"Ashley I'm so sorry for everything," Brian said pulling me close.
"It's okay.." I said.
"I'll see you two later," Justin said sadly and walked out.

Justin met JC and the others in the car.
"Well, what happened?" Chris asked.
"She loves Brian not me, So I will get over her eventually, but it will take time." Justin said down.
JC knew all too well how that felt. His crush on me was still there. He looked in his wallet to see a line of pictures we did, while we were spending so much time together, when Justin and I were fighting. Their were silly pictures of us in the photo booth. Some in my room and some in his. He sighed and put the pictures away.

I suddenly felt this sharp pain in my foot. I collapsed to the floor.
"Ashley are you OK?" Nick said.
"No, my foot hurts so much, it's probably when Leighanne kicked me with his heel and I had no shoes on cause I had went to the beach," I explained to him.
"You need some help getting up to your room?" Nick said.
"No, I'll be fine!" I said.
"Yeah she'll be fine Nick, cause I'll take care of her," Brian said.
"Cool man, I'm gonna find Julie," Nick smiled and walked to the elevator.
"Brian, I'm fine.." I said I took two steps before nearly falling. Thank God Brian caught me.
"How about this?" Brian said and picked me up and carried me to the elevator.
"Brian put me down," I said laughing. Just the emerged Kev and AJ.
"Brian man what are you doing?" Kev asked walking up to us.
"Ash, got into a little brawl with Leighanne and hurt her foot.. so I'm gonna carry her up to our room." He said.
