A/N: Ok so this is my first fanfic. I'm a little nervous. I had been reading for a long time and I decided that would try it at least once. It might not even be that good. But I'm willing to try.

Chapter 1

Life.

There is only constant in my life, which are my friends. They had been there for me when my family was not. I don't know where I would be if they weren't there. Probably in some alley, too high to even know what's going on. My mom is a world famous fashion designer. When I was 12, she said she was going to the fashion business. She reassured me that she was still going to be there for me. Back then I was naïve enough to believe her. She just comes by every so often about 3 weeks. Throws some money on my bed and says that she been in some new place for a while. I stopped caring after 3 years. I try to still think that she is the same person I knew all those years ago but it never seems to work.

My dad was the late Raife Davies. He was on his way home from one of his concerts to see me. I was 15. Before then he was either on tour or in a recording studio. I was excited to see him because he said he wanted to a get an album and a tour done. After that he would postpone everything else to spend time with is family, mainly me. He said that he was going to be home at 8pm. I sat in the Living room waiting for him to come home because it was 7:58pm.

8 turn 8:30, which turned to 9. I was beginning to worry. He was sometimes late but he would always call and say that he was going to be late. I decided to watch some TV to pass the time. I was flipping through the channels, when I turned to a news station that had breaking news.

"Rock star bad boy Raife Davies was killed tonight in a car crash at 7:30pm. Reports say that he was hit by a drunk driver, the drunk crashed in to the side of the car killing him instantly. It is a sad in the Music Industry." Said the news reporter.

I quickly turned off the TV and when to get my cell phone to call my best friend before I could say words anymore. Tears were coming out so fast I didn't think possible.

Ring.

Ring.

"Hello" answered the brunette's best friend

"Spence…….I-I need you to come over now" she said through the sobs.

"Ash what's wrong" Spencer responded fearing the reply.

"Just-t come over, I-I'll tell when you get hear I need someone to hug me."

"Ok I'll there in 5 minutes" said Spencer wondering what happened.

Ashley just was lying on her couch crying her heart out; when Spencer arrived she looked at her best friend. Spencer walked up to Ashley and sat on the ground right next to her.

"Shhhh…it's ok I'm here now" Spencer said trying to calm her down

"My…..my…..dad died in a car crash" Ashley responded stuttering on her words.

Spencer quickly hugged her and said she was so sorry.

"Spence……" Ashley said after a minute

"Yea ash" the blonde responded

"Can you spend the night, I don't think I can do it alone." Ashley asked as they made eye contact. Spencer notice how lost, sad, and depressed Ashley was through her eyes. Spencer could always read her.

"No problem ash you didn't even need to ask" said Spencer as she joined the brunette girl on the large couch.

Spencer wrapped her arms around Ashley has they both fell asleep.

"I hope Ashley doesn't slip back in to a depression again, she was just starting to understand that her mom was not going to be there anymore for her, she doesn't deserve this type of pain" Spencer thought before fall asleep next to the now silently crying brunette.
