Ashley was in the living room of Zac's house, thinking back on some of the old times her and Taylor had together. She had turned on the tv, but found it hard to concentrate. She thought about the time they first met, when his family had come over to introduce themselves and welcome her family into the neighborhood. She remembered thinking right away just how cute he was, especially when he smiled at her. He had handed her mom the pan of brownies they had brought over, and given her the biggest smile.

Her thoughts of that day were interrupted the front door opening and closing. She looked up to see Nikki and Kate, along with Isaac. Neither one of them looked to happy with her, and that pissed her off. " What is your problem with me? What have I done to deserve being looked at the way your looking at me?" She snapped.

" You've disrupted our lives by showing back up in town, in case you haven't noticed. Tay is losing his mind, Ashley. First it turns out he has a daughter that you were supposed to abort, and now she may be having a baby at sixteen. It's not a good situation you have put him in." Isaac snapped back at her. " And I want you to really think about this, that he is very happily married. Him and Natalie have had a beautiful life together. I'm not going stand by and watch you try to destroy that."

" Have you seen me make a single move on him? No, I haven't. So leave me the fuck alone!" She screamed at him.

Kate stepped in her face. " You are making everyone miserable, Ashley. Why don't you just do yourself a favor, take Christopher and leave town? No one wants you here."

That was the wrong move for Kate to make by getting in her face. That just pissed her off even more. Without a single thought about it, she shoved her out of the way and pushed her to the floor. " Don't you dare get in my face like that again and speak like that to me!"

Nikki helped Kate up of the floor, but not before throwing a punch to Ashley's face. She got her right on the lip. " Don't you even think about laying another hand on Kate like that again, or I will do one worse than I just did."

Before Ashley could make another move, Zac rushed into the room and grabbed her from behind. " I don't know who made the first punch, and I don't really care. All I know, is that you are no longer allowed here. Christopher stays here until you have calmed down, and then I will bring him to you. Afterwards, you are on your own. Get out of here, Ashley. I've had enough of you." With some help from Isaac, he led her to the door and together they locked her outside.

" You can't do this to me! Give me my son, damn it! I will call the police!" She screamed at them.

" Go for it, Ashley. Then I can tell them how you threw the first punch and they can arrest you instead." Kate screamed back at her. Isaac had to hold her back, as she was trying to get to the door to get to Ashley.

" Kate, that is enough. Go into the kitchen and grab something to drink or eat and calm down. Go." Isaac told her, turning her around to face the kitchen. She followed his instructions, and left the room. " Ashley, until you have calmed down your son stays here. He doesn't need to be around you when you are like this. Go take a nap or something." He called out to her through the door.

Ashley at this point was more pissed off than you wanted to see her be. She wasn't going to leave quietly without her son. Taking her cell phone out of her pocket, she dialed 911.

Within minutes of her calling the police, they showed up and knocked on Zac's door. Kate was the one to let them in, and to give her version of what happened. Ashley kept interrupting her until finally one of the two policemen told her to shut up. She told them how nastly Ashley became and how she attacked her. They asked everyone in the room questions about it, and they all backed up her story of what happened. In the end, it was Ashley who got arrested.
