For Your Sake

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Do you honestly think if I owned this show, I would be writing FanFic for it? No, I didn't think so. So no, I don't own S.O.N, Tom Lynch does. I love that guy!

Summary: Spencer wants to forget Ashley, for her parents and family's sake. But what about Ashley? Will she really give up? Will Spencer learn to follow her heart?

--------------------

"So…We're ok, right?" Ashley asked nervously. She had finally gotten a hold of her favorite blonde after a long and emotionally confusing night.

Only hours before, Ashley and Spencer had been making out with Aiden, teasing, playing, toying with him…And each other. Ashley knew that she really wanted to be kissing Spencer but she didn't think Spencer had wanted to kiss her, until the end, when they both confessed.

Ashley had been so happy, hearing those words tumble from Spencer's perfect lips, "I was thinking about you." And she thought Spencer was happy when she too said, "I was thinking about you too." But apparently, she was wrong.

No, she wasn't wrong, she was just too eager. She had tried to kiss Spencer too soon, it really wasn't time. She should've known that.

"Yeah Ash, we're ok." Spencer sighed, it had been a long night. She turned to her father and smiled weakly, "I'm sorry for running out on you earlier, I shouldn't have done that."

"No, it's ok. I understand, it wasn't the right time, for either of us, I know you want it to be special." Ashley reassured her. She turned and saw that Aiden was still in her room and she made a shooing motion with her free hand, she really wanted him gone. Like, now.

He let out a groan and left reluctantly.

"So…I'll see you tomorrow?" Ashley asked hesitantly. She didn't want to push it with Spencer, no that wouldn't be a good idea. If Spencer didn't want to see her for a couple days, then she would have to deal with it. "I'll pick you up for school?" She asked hopefully.

"Um, I don't know." Spencer said, voice lowering. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her father shake his head, clearly not approving of her avoidance of Ashley. "I think I'll get a ride with my brothers tomorrow. I don't spend enough time with them anymore." Spencer lied.

"Oh, ok." Ashley whispered, this sucked. "But I'll see you at lunch?"

"Of course." Spencer smiled, "Um, I gotta go. I'll call you later ok?"

"Yeah, ok." Ashley muttered, hanging up her cell phone, watching as the call info blinked as the call ended.

"Sorry Ash." Spencer whispered, shutting her phone regretfully.

"Spencer?" Arthur asked, watching his only daughter closely. "Are you ok, honey?"

"Yeah, no!" Spencer cried, running into her father's opened arms. He was so warm, so comforting. "Dad, I don't know what's going on. I'm so confused."

"About what, Spencer? What could possibly be so confusing in your young life?" Arthur asked, trying to hide the chuckle.

"Ashley. She confuses me." Spencer mumbled into her father's shirt.

"How so Spencer?" Arthur asked, pulling out of the hug. He sat with Spencer on the sofa, looking closely at her face.

"I really care about her and she's my best friend and I think that I might be –"

"I'm home." Paula Carlin called as she entered the house, looking curiously at her husband and youngest child, "What's going on?"

"Nothing." Spencer stuttered out quickly. She jumped up and made her way over to the stairs, "I'm gonna go do some homework, go online, you know. Tell me when's dinner!" And with that she was gone.

"What was that about?" Paula asked, but earned no response from her husband.

The next day…

"Hey Spence!" Ashley called out, seeing the blonde's retreating back. She had just pulled into the parking lot and seen Spencer getting out of a car.

But Spencer didn't notice her, she had instead turned her attention to the handsome, dark haired boy that had been her driver, who appeared by her side and wrapped an arm around her waist protectively.

'What the –'' Ashley thought, she felt her heart fall, 'Spencer? And Aiden? Oh no…'
