Brad walked over to where his best friend, Spencer, and his girlfriend were standing. He stood in between Jacob and Carrie and looked at the car, holding his arm up slightly in front of his face to block the headlights from his eyes. "Damn, whoever drives a Malibu has got to be smokin' hot." With that comment, Brad earned a smack on the arm from his girlfriend. Jacob laughed as he listened to the two bicker. He glanced over at Spencer who was making her way back over to his truck to pick up her beer.
Carrie followed her and the two boys watched their girls sit back down on the tailgate and continue on with roasting marsh mellows. Jacob stood there watching how the light from the fire hit Spencer's face; it danced in her deep blue eyes. "Dude." Brad said, making Jacob turn around and his eyes landed on a gorgeous brunette.
Both boys' mouths dropped opened as they watched her hips sway, her brunette hair flowing back in the wind, her perfectly toned bronze stomach peeking out from underneath her shirt. Everyone at the party stopped what they were doing and watched Ashley make her way over to Jacob and Brad who stood in front of her car, mouths still open.
"Carrie you marsh mellow is on fir-" Spencer saw that Carrie's focus was on something completely different and it wouldn't matter if she had told her new friend about her burning marsh mellow. She followed her focus and noticed everyone around her were completely quiet. Her very own eyes landed on this gorgeous brunette and she dropped her stick to the ground. "Oh. My. God." She heard Carrie laugh at her reaction.
Spencer watched as Jacob turned around and pointed to her. Her stomach was doing 360 degree flips and her heart was about to jump out of her throat. Her hands instantly became slightly damp and she couldn't take her eyes off of Ashley. She was really here and Spencer had no idea why or what she would do. She was supposed to be mad at Ashley, not have this kind of reaction.
By the time Ashley made her way over to Spencer, everyone went back to their own thing. Brad and Jacob both ran over to where the three girls were now. Ashley walked pass the bonfire and she smiled brightly at Spencer who happily returned the gesture. She stood up and started walking towards the brunette and she stood in front of her, "Ashley." Spencer smiled from ear to ear. She was ecstatic that her best friend was here.
Ashley pulled Spencer into a tight hug, "Hey Spence." Spencer closed her eyes and hugged Ashley back. She inhaled the way the other girl smelled and hugging Ashley felt so right, she never wanted to let her go.
"Whoa… you know her?" Carrie stood next to Spencer who never took her eyes off of Ashley.
Spencer smiled, "Yeah, she's my best friend." Spencer too never took her eyes off of Ashley and Ashley never took her eyes off of Spencer.
"I love your music!" Carrie exclaimed which made Ashley break the eye contact and remember why she was actually here. "I already preordered the CD." Carrie smiled big, standing in front of her was a rock star and she couldn't believe she came to such a small town as this.
"Thanks. Spence, can I talk to you for a minute?" Ashley looked back over at her best friend and Spencer nodded and the two girls started walking over to the lake, where there the dock was empty. They didn't say anything on the walk over, but neither minded it was a comfortable silence. Once on the dock, Spencer took a seat on the edge of the dock and slipped off her boots and socks and stuck her feet into the cold water. Ashley took a seat next to the blonde and followed her lead, "Oh shit!" Spencer laughed, "It's freezing balls." Ashley laughed looking over at the blonde who was so comfortable with the water already.
Spencer focused on the dark water, moving her feet which made ripples, "Why are you here, Ash?" She never looked over at the brunette.
She heard Ashley sigh, "I wanted to simply apologize…" She trailed off and finally Spencer looked at her friend. "I never got your message till the other night…" She hung her head, "Im sorry Spencer…"
Spencer laughed, her best friend was literally crazy, "And so you came two thousand miles to say that?" There was a sweet, simple smile on the blondes face.
Ashley looked at Spencer and smiled back, "And I wanted to see your fat ass." The two girls laughed and Spencer pushed the brunette playfully.
"You're kind of a jerk, you know that?" Ashley nodded at the blondes' comment, "But im glad you came." Spencer admitted quietly, playing with the hem of her shirt. Ashley was making Spencer nervous and that scared her half to death. "But should I know about anyone else coming for a surprise visit?" Ashley knew who exactly Spencer was talking about; Aiden.
"Nope, it's just my sexy ass." Ashley smiled big over at Spencer who returned the gesture. "So you forgive me?" Ashley asked quietly, watching Spencer's every move. She watched as the moon light hit Spencer's face, her eyes smiled in her presence. Her eyes trailed down the blondes' body, she had never seen Spencer in plaid before; actually she had never seen Spencer in any of her country clothes. She was so much more beautiful with her cowgirl clothes.
Spencer shrugged; she never looked over at Ashley, "I don't know… I really needed you that night, Ash. You couldn't just simply call your voicemail?" She looked into Ashley's dark chocolate brown eyes, "Or maybe the next day see that I called and be like, 'oh I should call her back?'" Spencer looked back down at the water, "Did me leaving even matter to you?" Spencer asked quietly, not wanting to hear the answer.
Ashley heard everyone behind her yelling and singing along to the music, they were having a great time. She couldn't believe that Spencer showed up to a party, but maybe southern parties were a lot different than the ones in Los Angeles. She swallowed hard and her jaw tightened, "Of course it mattered to me, Spence. I lost my best friend and-"
"Then why haven't you even called once since I left? Where's a letter telling me that you cared? Hmm?" Spencer had tears forming in her eyes, she didn't mean for this to come up. She just missed Ashley so entirely much, but she felt like Ashley didn't even miss her and that hurt the blonde deeply.
"Spencer." Ashley said in a quiet voice, Spencer looked into Ashley's eyes and she saw that they were sad but then again, they smiled at her. "You have no idea how much I care about you." There was a hint of sadness in Ashley's voice. "I love you Spencer," Spencer's heart raced as she heard those words, "You can ask anyone, I've been miserable since you left to come back here. You are a big part of my life, Spence… you are the one who pushed me into following my father's footsteps and you've helped me through everything I've ever been through since elementary. You were there when I came out to everyone, when I dropped out of school, when my dad died. You leaving tore me apart and my heart broke, Spencer when I watched you leave. I don't know how to handle losing the biggest part of my life, and im sorry, Spence…" A tear slowly ran down Ashley's cheek, she hadn't opened up that much since the night her father died. Spencer engulfed the brunette in a hug and they sat there under the moonlight like that for what seemed like forever to both of the girls.
"Come on," Spencer pulled away from Ashley, she reached her hand up to the brunettes face and wiped away a tear that escaped, "I want you to meet some of my friends." The two girls smiled at each other and Spencer stood up, reaching her hand up for Ashley to take to help her up. Without ever letting go of her hand, Spencer led Ashley over to the truck where her friends were at, "Everyone this is my best friend back from California, Ashley." Her smile was a true smile, and the cause of it was Ashley and Jacob could defiantly see that, "Ashley, this is Brad, Carrie, and Jacob. He was my best friend in preschool." She smiled brightly and Ashley smiled at all of her friends.
"So are you single?" Brad asked and Carrie smacked him across the face. "What? You were making out with Spencer! I can at least ask her that." Brad exclaimed, looking at his girlfriend.
Spencer's eye went wide and she dropped Ashley's hand, Carrie smiled big and looks over at Spencer. Ashley's mouth dropped and her eyes went wide as well, she looked at Spencer as well, "Yeah and she's a pretty damn good kisser." Carrie winked at the blonde and all of the sudden, jealously flushed over Ashley.
Spencer was shocked that Brad just announced that in front of Ashley, she was pissed about the comment that Carrie just made but then again it was good to hear that she wasn't a horrible kisser, "She's known me forever and I still haven't gotten to kiss her!" Jacob exclaimed obviously jealous as well.
"Can you guys like, shut up?" Spencer said quickly, now embarrassed. She couldn't look over at Ashley, she didn't want to see her expression, she was scared of it even though Ashley was gay, she didn't want her thinking Spencer was just copying her.
Carrie stood up, "Whoaaa." She started laughing, spilling her beer a little bit. She put her hand on the back of Spencer's neck and pulled her into another kiss before she walked over to a different group of people.
Ashley continued to stare at her best friend, "Damn woman." She laughed which made Spencer blush and cover her eyes with her hands, "First I find you and your first party and then I find out you've been making out with a girl for the first time ever as well." Ashley laughed; she couldn't believe her best friend was actually doing this stuff. "And to top it off, you're drinking!" She smiled at the blonde who was completely red.
Spencer looked at Ashley and she couldn't read her expression for the first time in forever, "It's um… actually not the first time I've made out with a girl." She laughed nervously and Ashley's eyes went wide, now she was even more jealous. "Or at a party." Spencer hid her face with her hands, she was embarrassed. "Or with alcohol." She admitted quietly through her hands.
Jacob looked at the way Ashley was looking at Spencer and he didn't like the way, he felt threatened by her, so he snaked his arm around Spencer's waist which made her tense up. She put her arms down by her sides and took a step to the side, making it seem like she did it to grab her beer from off of the tailgate, "Want a beer?" Brad tossed over a can of budlight and Ashley smiled a thanks.
Everyone at the party started to sing along with the radio, they were all slurring their words, everyone Jacob and Ashley. They sat together on the tailgate in front of the bonfire and Spencer was defiantly a lightweight, after two beers she was careless and obviously drunk. Spencer was nodding to the song that was playing and she started singing quietly along with it, "Cause girl it feels so good the way you bring out the bad in me, you called me up at work said baby can you come on home im feeling kinda crazy im all alone, and I've got nothing on, tell your boss its an emergency." Ashley smiled at the blonde next to her, she had an amazing voice. Spencer looked over at her best friend and continued singing, moving closer to Ashley, "Cause girl it feels so good the way you bring out the bad in me. You're like a shot whisky to a man that don't drink, just one taste of you girl I can't think straight, im on my knees girl I love your dirty deeds, yeah it feels so good the way you bring out the bad in me." Spencer smiled at Ashley and started leaning towards her, Ashley quickly debated and leaned back.
"Spence, you're drunk." Ashley said, her hand on Spencer's chest, pushing her slightly back.
Spencer shook her head and then nodded her head, "I don't feel good, Ash-" And before Spencer could finish her sentence, she was throwing up on Ashley. Ashley gasped as Spencer quickly moved off of the tailgate to finish puking. Jacob rushed over to Spencer and kneeled down by her, rubbing her back.
"I should get her home." Jacob said looking up at Ashley and back down at Spencer who was defiantly not feeling well.
Ashley stood up, "No I'll take her since I'll be staying with her anyways." She took Spencer's hand and helped her up from the ground.
Jacob stood up and faced Ashley, "You don't even know where she lives."
"Ashley…" Spencer whimpered her eyes shut, she leaned her head onto her shoulder. "Im sleepy." Ashley smirked at Jacob and led Spencer to her car. She put her into the passenger seat and slipped her seatbelt onto her and quickly climbed into the driver's seat. Ashley could not wait until she got to lie down and finally go to sleep.
Once Ashley pulled up to Spencer's dorms, she helped Spencer out of the car, holding her by the waist; she guided the blonde up to her room. She grabbed the keys out of Spencer's purse and quickly opened the door and set the blonde down on the bed and quickly ran back out to grab her duffle bag. Once back in the room, Ashley walked over to Spencer's dresser and pulled out some change of clothes and she helped Spencer change, "Spencer stop laughing." Ashley said getting a little frustrated at the blonde who was making it difficult to put on her shirt.
After Spencer was dressed, she fell asleep in a matter of minutes in her bed. Ashley sighed and went into the bathroom and grabbed a washcloth and soaked it. She walked back over to the bed and sat next to Spencer, cleaning up the debris of puke. Once she finished cleaning up Spencer, she finally got to take a quick shower and change into clean clothes.
When Ashley walked out of the bathroom, she was slipping on her shirt when her eyes caught on something. She walked over to Spencer's desk and she sat down in the chair, she smiled to herself as she looked at herself in a frame. Ashley couldn't believe Spencer framed a single picture of her and put it on her desk where it seems like she looks at it every day. She took a quick glance over at the blonde before opening up the laptop where on the desktop there was a folder named 'Ashley' and she opened it and there were hundreds of pictures of her in the folder. Mostly all of just herself or with Spencer. Spencer was an amazing photographer and Ashley just now saw just how much she loved taking pictures. Ashley closed the laptop and walked over to the bed where Spencer laid, but not before looking at the picture on Spencer's nightstand on her side. It was one of the few where Spencer had gotten brave enough to kiss Ashley on the cheek. Ashley looked at Spencer and smiled softly; she climbed into bed next to her and laid there for a few minutes. Right before Ashley fell asleep, Spencer rolled over and snaked her arm around the brunettes body and sighed in her sleep.
