ASHLEY'S P.O.V

"Hey Spence we should probably get up"

We've slept slightly longer than first planned and now it doesn't look like Spencer is going to get up for dinner.

"Come on Spencer our parents are going to kill us"

"Ash I really don't want to go, it's going to be awkward and i'm not really in the mood"

"Spence don't let Glen ruin this cruise for you just ignore him"

She moves away from we're i'm lying and tries to go back to sleep.

"I don't really want to go either but if we don't go they're going to think something's wrong"

"Can't you just say i'm sick?"

"If you want me to I can"

"Yer I do, I just need some time to sort out what i'm going to do about Glen"

"Okay well i'm going to get ready and go"

This sucks I don't want to go either but one of us has to go or Paula and mum will get suspicious and that's the last thing Spencer needs.

"Spence when I get back we're leaving this room and we can go get food somewhere else"

"Ash you probably shouldn't eat twice you're looking a little..."

"I could eat six meals and still look amazing Spencer, we both know that"

"you're so full of yourself"

"You love it"

"I do?"

"You do... I got to go see you soon"

This dinner is really going to suck i'm so pissed at Glen, and Madison has been really annoying these last few days, I'd much prefer to be napping with Spencer.

"Hey Sweetie"

"Hey mum sorry i'm late"

"That's alright you haven't seen Spencer have you, she's the only one we're waiting for"

"I just saw her in the room and she said she wasn't feeling very well, she wanted me to let you know she wasn't coming"

"That's no good I'll have to go check on her later"

"You should probably just leave her be she didn't look very well, I think she's just going to sleep it off"

"Okay sweetie well you know where we are if she needs anything"

"Thanks mum"

I take a seat opposite Mum and Dad, I need to be as far away from Glen, Madison and Aiden as possible.

"Hey Ashley"

"Hey Arthur how's your day been so far?"

"It's been great the four of us spent the day playing bingo and sitting poolside"

"Bingo? you guys are really starting to show your age"

The four of them just laugh, they know i'm right only old people play bingo.

"Christine was just saying Spencer's not feeling well, is everything alright?"

"Yer she's fine Paula no need to worry she's just going to sleep it off. I'm sure she'll be good as gold tomorrow"

"Okay well just make sure you let me know if there's anything I can do"

"I will"

How long do I need to stay without it being to obvious I don't want to be here?

"Kyla was saying you and Spencer sorted everything out"

"Yer we did"

"That's great Ashley"

"Yer it's a lot easier being her friend than her enemy"

"I never did understand why you two suddenly started hating each other"

"I'd prefer not to get into Arthur, but we've talked and everything's okay now, we're friends so that's good"

"I'm just glad you two finally sorted everything out, I was starting to think you two would never makeup you're both so stubborn"

"I'm not stubborn, Spencer's stubborn"

Tonight was chicken night so I ordered a plain chicken breast with vegetables, I know it's boring but I thought it would come out quicker. It didn't so I was forced to make small talk with the oldies.

When I finished I just got up and told them I was going to get going, they didn't care I don't think they really expected the kids to stick around after dinner.

"Hey Spence"

I thought she'd be asleep but she's sitting up in bed watching 'Friends.

"Really Spencer 'Friends' there's nothing else on?"

"There's heaps of shows on but I like 'Friends' so I turned that on"

"Okay"

I take a seat next to her on the bed.

"So how was dinner?"

"It was alright"

She leans her head on my shoulder.

"They asked where you were and I told them you were sick"

"Thanks"

"They were going to come check on you but I told them you were going to sleep if off"

"Thanks"

"No problem, I got your back"

"I know, it means a lot"

I run my hand through her hair.

"Was Glen there?"

"Yer"

"Did he say anything to you?"

"I didn't really give him a chance, I just sat down the other end of the table with the oldies"

"How did he look?"

"Like an ass"

"Apart from that?"

"He seemed the same Spence, I don't think he's told anyone"

"Hopefully... I'm just going to avoid him for six days and then we want a problem"

"You do realise you're not going to be able to avoid him"

"Yer I know just wishful thinking"

"It'll be alright he's an ass, but he's still your brother and I don't think he'd do anything to hurt you"

"I just hope you're right"

"Okay enough of this when 'Friends' is over we're going to go to the buffet area and eat"

"I'm not hungry"

"we're going"

"can't we just stay here and order room service?"

"no we're getting out of this room before we go crazy"

"Okay fine"
