Ash woke up the next morning bright and early at 7. She looked and saw Ali still sleeping in her bed, so she had to keep quiet. She looked to see if she had any pages. There was one, from William. 'What does he want? To embarass me somemore or something?' Ash decided to walk quietly out of the room and get online to check her e-mail and everything. She got on and it said "You've Got Mail" like it always says on AOL when you have new mail. She checked it, some mail from friends, mom, and one from a royal.gov.uk address. 'This must be from William...should I delete it?' She decided to open it up and read what it had to say.
Ash at that point didn't know what the hell to do. She didn't know whether to call him or not. She just had fear of that entire family now. Even if she and William were a couple her and Harry could never get along, she just pretty much almost cussed him out. She heard racket on the stairs. "Ash?? You down here??", Ashee asked. "Yep, come on down." Ashee walked kind of slowly because she didn't know how Ash would react about last night. "Look, Ash, I don't know why I went along with Harry...I guess I was jealous of you." "It's ok, you're the last person I'm mad at. In fact, I'm not to incredibly mad anymore. I'm more embarassed if anything. I just can't believe Harry. He had absolutely no reason to do that." "Well, actually he did." "Oh yeah, I stole William away from Laura but that's not good enough for me." "No, there's more to it than that..." "What do you mean by that?" Ashee was kind of choked up. "Well, you know we were at the soccer game and everything right? Well, he saw me talking to you and he said 'Who's that bird over there?' I told him it was you. He just like looked like he could float. Then he saw William come up and talk to you, Harry just like came crashing to the ground. He saw you flirt with him, and him with you and he was crushed.",Ashee wanted to continue but she was cut off. "What do you mean? How can he fall for me that quickly!? There's no way." "Gee, Ash, maybe you should put the pieces together. Why do you think I was jealous? You had William. Why do you think Harry was jealous? William had you. He's plan was to split you two apart so he could have you and I with William."
"Why are you telling me this?? That just makes him the biggest jerk in the world!", Ash bursted out. "No! Ash! Be more open minded. William can get any girl he wants and Harry wants one girl, and William got her first. He just wanted to be with you." "Ashley, you know what? This isn't helping my situation at all. I have to go. Tell my father I'll be back later and not to worry ok? I need some time to think." Ashee got up and left the room. Ash just sat in her chair, dumbfounded by all that was just said. She couldn't figure out if Harry was the biggest jerk in the world...or if he just wanted her so bad he'd do anything. 'Damn, this is so twisted. This is like a movie, or a soap oprea or something. How can this be real life? Of all lives it had to be mine.' Ash just got her coat and walked out the door. She had a long walk, but she knew where she was going and what she was doing.
She got to Buckingham Palace, where she knew Harry would be. The guards recognized her and let her in without inspection. She went done the halls until she got to Harry's room. She knocked. A very sad voice said, "Come in". Ash walked in and saw Harry with his back turned to the door. She just kind of stood there for a second. "Harry..." Harry flipped around, and his eyes were swollen. "Harry! What's wrong!" "Nothing, not a thing. Why are you here?" "Harry, Ashley told me what happened yesterday. I'm so confused it's unbelieveable. I don't know whether to hate you or..." "Ash, what I did yesterday was wrong, very wrong. I am sorry I did that to you.",Harry tried apologizing. "Look, what you did last night cannot be accepted. Do you realize how much I was embarassed?? I didn't know what to do! I just wanted to scream soo loud! Harry, I was so humiliated." "I know that now, but I didn't realize that at the time. Look, you have to understand...it was an act of jealousy, period. I seriously never ment to hurt you. That's the last thing I wanted to do. The whole night was stupid, and I've been crying about it all night." "You were crying over me?" "Yes, and how stupid I was. I don't know why, but I feel like we connect. I don't know how to explain it, but somehow I feel like I'm in love with you." Ash was speechless. She didn't know what emotion she should be feeling right now. "Harry, I love William." "No, you don't know that! Don't say that, you don't know William." "And I don't know you!" "Well, I know you well enough to know William wouldn't be good to you. I've known William all my life...lets just start all over." "Huh?" Harry turned around and turned back again and extended his hand, "Hi! I'm Harry Windsor, and what's your name?" Ash just laughed, "My name is Ash." "My, are you from around here?" "No, I'm from the US of A." "Do you feel better now?" "Yeah...I kind of do."
