As though life wasn't hard already after mom and dad died now I have to live with some lady that I don't even know. She was one of my mom's good friends they went to high school together and I guess they were pretty close till mom married dad then she moved out to Ohio where she had me. I look through the crowd of people swarming around looking for luggage and notice all of the skin women in here not like me skinny but abnormally skin like supermodel type. So different than Ohio man I miss it already my friends Julie, Karen and my boyfriend Steven.

"Spencer" A lady with brown long hair, huge sunglasses and a coach bag to match was standing behind me.

"Yeah that's me." I look at her intensely trying to conjure up some kind of memory but I can't. "Are you Christine Davies?" she nods and throws her arms around me spilling out 'I'm sorry' like she will never be able to say it again. Just to make her feel better I return the hug.

"Thanks." I smile at the now soggy eyed lady who looks to young to be the mother of a eighteen year old but I remember the social worker telling me that she has a daughter. Christine takes my bags and I follow her to her black Mercedes Benz.

"God I haven't seen you since you were I don't know six." She sends a quick smile towards me. "You look like your mom." I smile because I'm so use to everyone saying that I look like my dad.

After about forty minutes of small talk we pull up to a huge two story house with gates guarding it. I've only seen houses like this on MTV's cribs. Wait I think I have seen this on cribs. She presses in a number that opens the gate and pulls up to the driveway where there are four more amazing cars all looking brand new. I knew that this lady was loaded but how much money does one person need or cars for that matter.

Ashley's POV

I hear a beep from down stairs the gate is opening I guess Christine is back from where ever the hell she went. Probably out with her friends for lunch I don't know I really hate talking to my mother she is so fake all the time it is sickening. I put out Sarah's cigarette and tell her to stash her bottle of Jack Daniels that she bought over after school. I look out side because I hear two doors close.

"Damn. Who is that?" Sarah always has to comment on everything especially if it is a female but she is my friend so you just put up with those sorts of things.

"I don't know she looks too young to be Christine's friend." I look back to see Sarah fixing her hair and spraying her mouth with mint spray. "What are you doing?" She smiles and I already know what she is thinking.

Sarah and I get downstairs and into the living room before they even make it inside. We sit on the couch and pretend to be watching t.v. like we have been there the whole time.

"Alright Spencer here we are." My mom shoots me a look then at Sarah. "Spencer this is my daughter Ashley and her friend Sarah." I look over and see the girl with long blonde hair and piercing blue eyes and nod.

"Hey mom I'm going to take Sarah home." I stand up and hear a sigh coming from the direction in which Sarah is sitting. Sarah gets up and follows me out the door but not before smiling at Spencer and saying bye.

"Whoa I'm going to have fun with her." She buckles her seatbelt and smiles in my direction.

"Come on Sarah let the girl settle in before you scare her." I know this is going to make her mad but I say it anyways.

"What? She likes me already." I laugh a little. Sarah thinks that every girl she likes is automatically a lesbian well she was right about me. I use to like Sarah but that was before I got to know her.

"Not all girls are gay. She is probably straight." I pull into Sarah's drive way. "I'll see you at school and bring your sexy friend too." I shake my head and pull out of the driveway and head home.

Spencer's POV

I unpack everything and I'm sitting on my bed when I hear a car pull up. I'm guessing that Christine's daughter is back. I pull out my phone and look at the picture of me and Steven before I dial his number. "I'm here without you baby but you're still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time." I love his ring back tone. "Hey beautiful."

"Hey sweetie, I miss you already." I get up to close the door.

"I miss you too Spencer." He sounds distracted. He is probably getting ready for work.

"I just wanted to call and tell you I made it. I'll call you later." After exchanging I love you's I begin to walk downstairs till I hear Christine arguing with her daughter.

Ashley's POV

I walk into to the kitchen to grab a water. Big Mistake! I run into my mother and she stares me down as I close the fridge door.

"You stay away from Spencer. And don't bring your sexed crazied friend around her too."

I roll my eyes. "Don't worry mom I won't spread my lesbian cooties."

With that I walk upstairs into my room and lay on my bed. I just stare at the wall with the poster of NSYNC platered on it. Ok sure I grew out of it but I can't take it down my dad put it up and I remember that day everytime I look at it.
