"Ashley, did you do it?"
Travis' voice rang through Ashley's land line.

"No, it wasn't time. I couldn't make something terrible up that quick, it's not believable."
Ashley told Travis.

The two were talking about the previous incident Ashley had with Sal and Larry.

⋆★Flashback⋆★⋆

"Wait, Sal! I have to tell you something,"
Ashley called after him, hoping he would stop walking.

Sal ignored her and kept walking towards the entrance of the apartments, Larry quickly following after him.

"It has to do with Y/N!"
Ashley said, she knew it would catch his attention. Anything that had to do with Y/N did.

Sal stopped dead in his tracks and sighed before turning to face Ashley.
"What about Y/N?"

⋆★⋆End of Flashback⋆★⋆

"So, what did you tell him?"
Travis inquired.

"I told him she and I would be hanging out tomorrow."
Ashley shrugged.

"And he believed that?"
Travis said incredulously.

"I guess..? I don't really know, he just ignored me and walked away with Larry and Gizmo."
Ashley answered.

"God, he is more stupid than I thought."
Travis mumbled.
"Are you actually going to hangout with Y/N?"

"Well, no. But Sal doesn't know that,"
Ashley walked around her room, stretching the cord with her.

"Wait. That's it!"
Travis shouted.

"What's it?"
Ashley raised an eyebrow.

"You need to call Y/N, and have a sleepover or whatever you girls do."
Travis told her. His tone didn't make it seem like she had the option to say no.

"And why would I do that?"
Ashley twirled the phones wire around her index finger, out of boredom. She was totally ready for this conversation to be over.

"So you can get more information on her, and use it to our advantage!"
Travis said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"For example, that boy toy of hers - whatever his name is - he is staying with her family right now...so, maybe, you could make up something that has to do with them being a thing."

"But they aren't. Damien is Y/N's best friend, not her boyfriend or anything like that. I don't even think he's into girls."
Ashley shook her head at Travis. He really was a piece of work.

"Duh, but I don't think Sal, or even Larry knows that. So, use that - make up a rumor that they kissed or something."
Travis demanded of Ashley.

Ashley made an unsure expression.
"I don't know, Travis. You sound crazy, and I don't even think that would work either way. Maybe we should just leave them be?"

"Do you want Sal back?"
Travis asked in a firm tone.

"Well, yeah, of course I do, but-!"

"Then you'll do it. Don't be suspicious, and make it happen, Ashley."
Travis cut her off, before slamming the phone back down on the receiver.

Ashley heard the silence, and then the beeping noise that happened when the line was cut.

She sighed.

She didn't know what to do.
It wasn't fair to Y/N or Sal, or even Larry. They seemed happy together, so why should she split them apart?

But Ashley felt pressured to do it, by Travis.
She felt stuck. Like she couldn't choose who's side to be on. She knew it was the right thing to choose Y/N's side, but Travis sounded like he needed this win.

Ashley frowned, but she knew what she had to do.
