A/N Thanks to everyone who reviewed the first chapter! I really enjoyed reading them. So yeah, anyone have any suggestions for this story? It would be greatly appreciated. :) Haha. I mean, I know whats going to happen and all, it's just that, I need some stuff to go in before it all happens so it doesnt seem rushed. Know what I mean? Haha. Ok well, I know that you've all been waiting for this chapter for like what? 2 days now? Haha. Well here it is!
Enjoy Chapter 2!
California!
Ashley sat on her bed cross-legged. She was listening to music. The music that reminded her of Spencer. As she sang along with the music, she held onto the picture of the two of them. She studied the picture closely. She studied every line, every hair, every expression that Spencer had. She sighed as the song ended and another one began.
"Oh how I miss you, Spence." She told herself out loud but it was almost in a whisper. She really did miss her. But, she never would have thought that it would be this much. She remembered that conversation that they had when she left that night. The one that Spencer promised Ashley that she would come to California and find her. The promise that Spencer broke. Or at least that's what Ashley thought.
Ohio!
Spencer laid in her bed, about to fall asleep when there was a knock on her door. She rolled over and watched her dad enter her room. He walked over to her bed slowly and sat down next to her. She looked up at him, waiting for what he had to say.
He put his hand onto his daughter's side and smiled sweetly. "How you doing?" He asked
"Great. Why?" She asked concerned to why he was asking her that
He sighed and removed his hand. Spencer turned over onto her back and then sat up against her headboard. "I just wanted to know." He told her, "I'm going to get the papers tomorrow." He added
Spencer hid her smile, "Ok." She said holding in her excitement, "You know dad, I'm going to live with you right?" She told him
Spencer watched as a smile appeared on her fathers face, "Of course."
Spencer let her smile out, "Because you and I both know that I can't live with mom. She's just… well you know. You were married to her." She laughed a little
Arthur laughed a little along with his daughter. The daughter that he loved so very much. The one that his soon to be ex-wife couldn't stand because she didn't live up to the Christian expectations. "Yeah I know. Well get some sleep, sweetie." He kissed Spencer's forehead and walked out of her room
Spencer sat there with a smile on her face. She wondered to herself where they would be going. She slid back down into a laying position and quickly fell asleep. That night, she dreamt a dream she hasn't dreamed about in a long time. About a year since this type of dream came along.
Spencer sat there on the beach in California. She was wearing a white tank top and short cut off jean shorts. The sun was just going down and the weather was perfect. She was waiting for somebody. That somebody was supposed to be there already. That somebody was late.
She looked at her cell phone that she has held since she got to the beach 20minutes ago. She sighed as she put it back in her back pocket. That somebody was already 10 minutes late. She was about to leave. She couldn't wait for that somebody anymore.
She stood up wiped that extra sand that still stuck to her butt off. She started to walk away when she heard someone talking to her. "Leaving so soon?" They asked her. Their voice seemed to be so far away, but yet so close.
Spencer stopped in her tracks. A smile crept up onto her face as she turned around to see that someone she waited for what seemed like forever for. She walked towards that person and was embraced with a hug. "I've missed you so much, Spence." Spencer pulled back from that person and brought them into a passionate kiss.
Spencer sat up instantly in her bed with a cold sweat. There was music playing. She didn't know where it was coming from. She blinked her eyes a couple of times and replayed the dream in her head. "Who was that?" She asked herself. She couldn't place who it was. She looked at her alarm clock and it read 6 am. She sighed as she turned it off.
She got out of her bed and walked into her bathroom and took a shower. Maybe, hopefully, she could know who that was in her dream. She would have never guessed it was Ashley. She would be on the end of that list.
California!
Ashley sat up in her bed when she heard her alarm clock beeping. She looked at it and shut it off. It read 5 am. She closed her eyes as she got out of her bed. She walked into her bathroom and jumped into the shower. She wished life wasn't so damn hard for her
right now.
Her dad went onto another tour. But this time, it was in Europe. She was offered to go with him, but she denied it. She denied it just like every other tour she was offered to go on with him. She didn't want what happened back in Ohio to happen again. Now that she accepted herself the way she is. Gay.
She got out of the shower and got dressed. She slipped into a shirt that was a size too small for her. It showed her stomach. She slipped on her jean skirt that was shorter than allowed at school and then she slipped into her flip flops that went with her outfit.
She got into her expensive car and drove off to star bucks for her morning coffee. After she got her coffee, she drove to Madison's house to pick her up. She waited outside her house, sipping her coffee. She waited for her friend.
A couple of minutes passed and Ashley got impatient. She honked the horn a couple of times until the door opened and Madison ran down to the car. She got into the car and Ashley pulled off. "It's about time, geez; I could have found the cure to cancer!" Ashley joked
"Shut up, Ash. Where's my coffee?" She asked picking up the extra coffee that Ashley bought for her friend.
Ashley smiled at her friend. She watched her take a sip of her coffee. She pulled off of Madison's street and headed off to their school.
Minutes passed in slience between the two friends. Madison couldn't handle it anymore, "What's up Ash? You've been quite since yesterday." She pointed out. She stared at her friend.
Ashley shook her head and didn't say anything. She so badly wanted to explain to Madison about Spencer, but she knew that she wouldn't understand. She so badly wanted to see that cute face again, to hear that laughter, to look into those ocean blue eyes that she wasn't allowed to look into for the longest time.
Ashley stopped at the red light and waited more patiently than she did at Madison's house. "Ashley, you know you can talk to me about it." Madison took another sip of her coffee
Ashley took this opportunity to take a sip of her own coffee. "I know. Nothing is bothering me." She lied
"Ok." Madison let up off the topic. She knew that Ashley had changed since Ohio. She dressed differently, spoke her mind more freely, skipped classes, and even got a tattoo on her lower back.
Madison knew that Ashley thought that she forgot about the whole 'Spencer and Ohio love' thing. But Madison didn't. She was one of Ashley's bestest friends. How could she forget such a thing that changed a girl that has been in her life for the hardest and weakest times? She kind of hated Spencer for changing her, but she would never tell Ashley that.
"So, are we on for the movies tonight?" Ashley asked getting off the topic
Madison nodded, "Yeah. The love birds and Chelsea are in right?" She asked looking over at her
Ashley nodded and took another sip of her coffee as she pulled into the school parking lot. She turned off the car and started to open the door when she got a text message. She stopped and pulled out her phone from her back pocket. She read out loud, "1 new text message from Unknown." She hit accept, not knowing who it could be. She hit accept, not knowing that this text message would probably change her mood for sad to extremely happy. She had no idea what was to come.
"Come on Ashley!" Madison said getting really impatient and getting out of the car
Ashley sat there. She read the text again and again, Hey… um, this isn't my phone. I broke mine. But it's Spencer. She couldn't believe it. She had no clue why Spencer was texting her. But she had to text back, Hey… what'd you do? And… why are you texting me?
Madison knocked on the window of the driver side. She stood there with her hands on her hips.
Ashley sighed. She was still in shock about Spencer texting her. She grabbed her coffee and her purse and got out of the car. As she locked her car, she got another text message. She read it to herself as she and Madison walked into the school. I threw it against the wall when me and Renee broke up. I've just been to damn lazy to go and get another one. And because… I was thinking about you this morning…
Ashley smiled to herself. Her stomach was doing flips right now because she knew for sure that Spencer was thinking about her too. She wasn't the only one. She texted her back as she headed to her locker where she was meeting Aiden and Kyla. That was like… what? 2 months ago? Lol. I guess that's why you never answered when I called. Lol. I was um… thinking about you too, but last night of course. And all day yesterday.
When Madison and Ashley walked up to her locker, Aiden and Kyla were already there. They were kissing though and Madison made a disgusted sound that broke them apart. "Oh um… hey guys. What's up?" Aiden said blushing hard
"Nothing." Madison said taking a sip of her coffee
"Yeah. Same here." Ashley said with a big smile. Spencer just truly made her day. She went to open her locker to grab something out of it.
Kyla, Aiden, and Madison all looked from one to another. "What's in the coffee, Ash?" Kyla asked taking her sister's coffee and sniffing it
Ashley laughed a little, "Nothing." She said taking it back from Kyla
"Someone got laid last night." Aiden joked as he intertwined his fingers with Kyla's
"Shut up." Ashley punched him in his arm as she received another text message
Ha-ha you are such a dork. I love it. Yeah, I got stuck with writing a report for homework because I didn't do it in class. I was thinking of the time when you were in my car and you shoved that freakin cupcake in my face. I had to write about our two weeks together last night for homework. :) A smile appeared on Ashley's face as soon as Spencer called her a dork.
"Who are you texting girl?" Madison asked trying to see what she was typing on her phone
"Spe-- no one." She lied. She replied back to Spencer, Ha-ha, my bad. I tend to make you always have homework huh? Why? And whose phone are you using?
Kyla then realized who it was, "Spencer?" She asked while adjusting her backpack
Aiden and Madison looked at Kyla with a confused look. Madison turned to Ashley, "You're texting Spencer?" She asked kind of shocked
Ashley just smiled and started to walk away. "Ashley!" They called after her and caught up with her
"What are you two talking about?" Aiden asked
Ashley kept smiling as she received another text message. Yeah you do. Jerk. I have to write about the most fun I've had in the past two years. And Daniele's new jack ass boyfriend that I think is prefect for her. Lol
Ashley let out a giggle, and texted back, Are you in class?
Her friends soon gave up on Ashley because they all knew that she wasn't going to tell them what she was talking about. It took a few minutes for Spencer to text back. Not anymore. I just got out. It's break now. Why?
Ashley smiled and she stopped walking. "Kyla let me see your phone real quick." She demanded.
Kyla handed her sister her phone and watched her punch in a number on it. Then she watched as she punch the same number into her own phone and closed her's. "Ok here. Thanks." Ashley handed her sister back her phone, "I'm going to go. See you guys at lunch." Ashley told them and walked off in the other direction
When Ashley was out of ear shot, she hit call. She waited for what seemed like forever for Spencer to answer. When she finally did, she could tell that her actions caught her by surprise. "Hello…" She heard Spencer say. She sounded scared, Ashley thought.
"Hey." Ashley said and realizing that herself was just as scared at Spencer.
A/N Ok there it is! Hope you like it! I really kinda didn't like this chapter. I don't think it was all that good. I was debating onto whether to keep it, or write a new one. But, this is what you get; I was too lazy to write a new one. Haha. I really hope that you liked it. If you didn't, I'm sorry. Maybe you'll like the next chapter. I hope that everyone reviews!
