I LIVE IN ENGLAND SO DO NOT OWN ANYTHING TO DO WITH SOUTH OF NOWHERE!

Thanks to all who reviewed and put this story on alerts/favourites, I'm am well chuffed. I have to just say to Fumbling Towards Estasy, I am a huge fan so to have you alert to my story is amazing.

I hope this chapter is a bit longer for everyone.


Over a week had passed since I had made that decision in the shower. To say I wasn't missing sex would be an understatement, a BIG FAT lie. I was yearning it. I hate to say it but I was known as bit of a player on the lesbian scene. Girls would come up to me and I knew where it would lead - to my place. I never went to their places and like I say I had one rule no blondes.

I admit it I had been snappy at my assistant, Caitlin, a few times…well more than a few and that had started a "Snappy" box like a rude box. Every time I was snappy at one of my staff or my artists, I had to put a dollar in the box. This box was just for me and I am sure they have raised a small fortune by now.

I had a record label party last night for one of my newly signed artists. So this morning I was feeling very rough, too much drink but thankfully I kept my self-control, Madison would not of let me do anything stupid anyway. I have only told two people about my decision Madison and Kyla – who has probably told Aiden. They have both sworn to me that they won't tell Spencer.

Spencer, and I know this for a fact, speaks to both of them regularly. I have not asked about her and how she is doing, I doubt they would tell me anyway and it hurts too much. The questions I would like to ask I don't dare. I am sure I will find the answers out soon.


Around about 10am I managed to drag my arse into the SCAD Records offices. I manage to manoeuvre my way to my big spacious office without seeing anyone and that meant not having to give anyone a dollar. I congratulated myself and sunk into my desk chair.

I was sat at my desk, trying to keep my headache at bay and do some work, when there was a loud on my office door.

"What?" I growl, just as Madison comes through the door.

"Is that another dollar for the box, I hear," Madison chuckles, I look up from my desk and give her my dirtiest glare "just kidding Ash, bad day?"

"I'm just peachy…you know I decided not to have sex cos I want to win the love of my life back, I'm hung over and oh yeah I have to go dress shopping for the wedding with Kyla and her mum later!" I moan and fling my head down on my desk.

"Woah there…it sounds like it's a good job I'm here then and I bring a gift."

I look up from my desk as she presents me with a tall Starbucks coffee and I grin widely at her. "Thanks Mads, I have told you lately how much I love you?"

"Yeah, yeah chica, love you too" Madison looked at me and bites her lip, she was nervous about something "I need to speak to you, you as my boss… and please just hear me out before you say anything. I received a phone call from MTV yesterday and they would like to film a fly-on-the-wall doc at the label and follow around me for a week. Can I say yes? I totally understand if you say no."

My eyes widen and I choke on the mouthful of coffee I had just taken. Madison goes and sits on the black leather sofa that is on place against one wall of my office. I groan as I get up from my desk and take a sit next to her. She is nervous as hell that I will say no and is wringing her hands together.

"Mads, look at me" I say as I take her hands in my mine. She turns to face me and I take a deep breath, "MTV can come and film. It's great exposure for you as an artist and for the label, so of cause they can come but I don't want to be involved in anyway, OK?"

Her eyes light up and she flings her arms around my neck.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're the best boss and friend ever."

She pulls back from me and asks the two questions that I didn't want her to.

"Why don't you want to be involved? What if they want to interview you? You are the CEO and the founder of this label."

I look seriously at her as tears threat to spill "because if MTV are here, it might involve Lily and where Lily goes Spencer goes and I can't see her yet…I'm not ready. When I see her next I want to prove to her that I will never let her down again. I want her to love me again, I want her forgive me…I want..."

"Shh Ash" as Madison pulls me into her arms "I totally understand. I promise they will not get in your way, they will not interview you and I will warn you first if Spencer is here."

I lightly cry in to her chest as she rocks me back and forth. I am so glad that me and Madison are friends. What ever happened in high school is long forgotten about. I must admit it came as a huge shock when she said that wanted to follow me out of Marks Records and sign with me, I will never forget those words.


"Look I have had some hits but the biggest hit record by far was "Two-Faced", so I am going to follow the most incredible songwriter out of this hell hole. OK? But you better write me some more kick ass songs Ashley Davies or else!"


She did just that and for my part I made her, along with Kyla, a vice president of the label. It was good to have people around me that kept me on the straight and narrow, well most of the time. I also was not stupid as Madison had an amazing head for business and let's face it after the way she used to control the cheerleaders in King High no one was going to mess with her. Her career was going from strength to strength and I couldn't be prouder.

She was the first artist to sign with the label and her first album produced by SCAD Records went platinum and one of the discs now adorns the wall above the sofa in which we sit.

I gently pull away from her, wiping my eyes "sorry about that, I don't know what happened there."

"Ash, you and Spencer will be Spashley again. No doubt about it."

I smile weakly at her "Thanks Mads, I really hope so."


Madison gets up and makes her way to the door. She luckily manages to jump out of the way just in the nick of time as Kyla comes bursting the through the door with her mother, Ann, following close behind.

Kyla is far too excitable for my liking as she wraps Madison up in a huge hug. Then bounds over to me and jumps on me while I'm still sitting on the sofa.

"Hey Ky, are you ready?" I chuckle as I wrap my arms around my younger half-sister's neck and hug her back. I swear that she has just brightened all my day.

Before Kyla has chance to talk Ann pipes up "Hi Madison, Ash."

Me and Kyla stand up from the sofa "I guess you are ready to go dress shopping, I know I am!" As I roll my eyes and stick out my tongue.

"Ash, we'll find you something lovely and gorgeous to wear!" Kyla says as she grabs my hand and leads me towards the door with Ann following close behind.

I wave to Madison as she giggles at Kyla and looks at me with a smirk upon her face.

Here we go…


Please please review. Also does Spencer need to be brought in soon, I can't decide...I have ideas though.
