“That’s fucking bullshit and you know it.” Ashley says, cutting Cole off and lifting her head to look her dead in the eye. I see her fists clenching again and I’ve never heard so much venom in her voice before. Cole gets a smirk on her face again, obviously satisfied that she’s getting a rise out of Ashley. “You’re the one who gave me the drugs in the first place and got me hooked. It wasn’t until I decided that I wanted to get better that you left me and I never heard from you again.”

“It’s not my fault you lost control.” Cole says leaning back in her seat, not taking any responsibility for what she’s put Ashley through.

“Lost control?!” Ashley begins to raise her voice and takes a step towards Cole. “You’re the one responsible for it all and you have the balls to try to get out of accepting responsibility for it?!” I try to pull Ashley back towards me but she shrugs off my hand when it reaches her shoulder.

“Okay, calm down Ash.” I say, trying anything to stop this from being another Carmen episode.

“Calm down? No, I’m not going to calm down Spencer. Nicole is responsible for who I was back then and she’s the one who got me into the whole sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll scene and she knows it. And I took it back then because I didn’t know any better, I guess I was too high all the time to really know anything that was going on. I haven’t seen this bitch in almost four years and she has the nerve to try and say that this was my fault? Hell no, I’m not going to take that again.”

“Oh please, Davies.” Cole speaks up. “I might have introduced you to the scene but that was it. You’re the one who hooked up with all those girls and became a slut.” My eyes widen at her words and I’m scared of what Ashley’s going to do, and how she’s going to react. To my surprise she doesn’t lift a finger, and keeps her down and stares at her shoes again. “You know I’m right.” Cole continues. “You know I had nothing to do with you becoming a fucking slut and it was all your own doing. How many girls did you sleep with to score drugs?” Cole asks sarcastically.
