A/n: Hey guys, I wanted to try a one shot. The song is Lips of An Angel, by Hinder and/or Jack Ingram. I prefer Jack Ingram's version better, I recommend checking it out. Well, I could continue this into a story possibly, but it depends on the feedback I get. And if don't get reviews and such I'll just assume that this one shot sucks, lol. But I hope you all enjoy!

Ashley was lying in bed next to her new girlfriend. She quickly threw on her clothes after she numbly had sex with the girl who wasn't Spencer. She felt disgusted how she fell asleep so soon, but she was glad she didn't have to listen to her talk tonight. She didn't know why she continued to date this girl. Her voice annoyed her, she was stuck up, she was always on her cell phone, and just everything about her annoyed her. She was just with this other girl so she didn't feel so alone and lost without Spencer.
She was lying in bed just thinking about Spencer and how she had screwed up everything between them. She couldn't believe she had led her to that stupid girl Carmen. She had to accept that Spencer was dating another girl, but she couldn't and didn't want to. Ashley saw her phone light up on her night stand. She slowly reached over and picked up the phone and smiled; the smile only Spencer ever saw. Ashley picked up the phone and began whispering.
Honey, why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Ashley said as she looked over at the girl lying next to her. Ashley got up and walked into the next room. She wasn't going to let the girl lying next to her ruin her time talking to Spencer. She had been dying her hear her voice for so long.
Honey, why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud.
"Ash--I'm sorry for calling. I didn't know who else to call. I-I--It's Carmen." Spencer continued to cry and sniffle.
Well, my girl's in the next room.
Sometimes I wish she was you.
I guess we never really moved on.
Spencer smiled through her tears. Ashley always had the right words to make Spencer feel better, no matter what situation she was in. "Ashley..." Spencer took a deep breath, like she didn't want to finish her sentence. She was finding the courage to actually tell Ashley what Carmen had done.
It's really good to hear your voice say my name...
It sounds so sweet.
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak.
Spencer began to cry harder. She couldn't believe the person she wanted was on the phone with her, not lying next to her. She wanted Ashley back, so badly. But she wasn't sure if she could walk away from Carmen, literally.
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel.
"Ashley...Carmen...she hit me. I don't know what to do. I'm scared. She---has a temper. This isn't the first time it happened Ash." Spencer felt a bit better saying it aloud, she didn't want Ashley to worry about her too much, and so she tried changing the subject, "I had a dream last night that we were together. It felt real, I wish it was real."
It's funny that you're calling me tonight.
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too.
And does she know you're talking to me?
Will it start another fight?
No I don't think she has a clue.
"Spencer, Spencer. You have to leave. She'll do it again and again. I love you Spencer. Please you have to get out of there, before you get hurt again. I couldn't bare that, Spence." Ashley felt a tear roll down her cheek, then she felt her fist clench. She wanted Carmen to feel the pain she was putting Spencer through. She looked around the room for her jacket and keys.
"Ash, I'm sorry for interrupting your night with..." Spencer couldn't bring herself to her name, "your girlfriend."
"Don't be, because,"
My girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet...
Coming from a lips of an angel
Hearing those words makes me weak.
"Ashley, I love you. I'm scared if I leave her...she'll hit me or worse." Spencer was startled and gasped loudly.
Ashley quietly listened to what was happening on the other side of the phone.
"Who are you talking to Spencer? It's Ashley isn't it? Isn't it?" Carmen yelled.
"It's none of your business, go back to bed Carmen." Spencer shakily said as she held the phone to her ear.
"You're still in love with her, I can't believe it. After all this time we've been together. You stupid slut!" Carmen walked over and slapped Spencer on the face.
Spencer yelled in pain. Carmen began to kick Spencer as she lay on the floor curling up to try and defend herself. "Ash..." Spencer whispered into the receiver. Carmen walked over picked up the phone and hung up.
Ashley immediately sprung from her seat, grabbed her keys and jacket then ran out the door. She needed to go save Spencer, before it was too late. She wanted to hear her voice again, touch those sweet lips of hers, she loved her. Ashley kept thinking to herself on the drive to save Spencer.
And I never wanna say goodbye
Girl you make it hard to be faithful

Coming from the lips on an angel
