A/N: yeah I know its been forever since I've updated. Please don't be mad. If this chapter doesn't really makes sense its because I kind forgot what was going on in the story. I'm trying to get back into my writing mojo.

Ashley's POV:

"Ash…Ashley sweetie wake up"

I open my eyes to see Spencer leaning over my head giving me a sad smile. She leans down and give me a soft kiss on my forehead. I sit up to rub the sleep out of my eyes.

"How long was I asleep?" I wonder if she understood what I said. It got jumbled in with my yawn. She giggles and I smile at her.

"Only an hour" she tilts her head and gives me a serious look, "You okay Ash?" I scoot to the edge of the seat and hop out of the car. After closing the door I walk up to Spencer and wrap my arms around her, pulling her body into mine.

"Yeah, I'm okay" I feel Spencer shaking her head.

"Ash he wanted to kill you…for money."

"Yes I know, and I'm mad and hurt and confused, but, I'm here and you're here. I just think about that and nothing else matters. I'm so happy that you're still here. If anything ever happened to you Spence…I…I don't know what I'd do." she pulls her head away from my neck to look at me, "So yes, I'm fine. I'll get over it. I just won't get over that he almost took you from me."

She nods her head in understanding.

"C'mon lets go inside" I turn around and motion for her to get on my back. She just laughs as I get lower to make it easier for her to get on. I carry my giggling blonde inside. Spencer closes the door, still on my back, and we turn around to find Kyla laughing at us.

"Hey, I'm tired, so I'm gonna go take a quick nap" Spence says from behind/above me. I can feel her starting to wiggle out of my embrace but I hold her tighter.

"Ky, I'm gonna take her upstairs, ill be right back" I head up the stairs and to my room. I lower her onto the end of the bed, then turn to look at her.

"When you're done with your nap do you still want to go grab something to eat? Anywhere you want, my treat" we are both smiling at each other.

"Actually Ash, do you think we could just order pizza and watch a movie or something?" she asks with a hopefulness in her tone. I get down on my knees, in between her legs, cupping her face in my hands, "of course." She looks at me with such love I could just die. How did I get so lucky? I kiss her than put a blanket over her when she found a comfortable spot. I giver her another kiss followed by a whispered "have a good nap" again said lips, then another kiss.

I walk down the stairs in some kind of daze. I just really wish none of this had ever happened. Aiden never came, no one wanted to kill me, but mostly, Spencer wouldn't have been hurt.

I go and sit down next to Kyla who is looking at the t.v. but is deep in thought. I bring my legs under me and gently touch her arm.

"Ky, you alright?" I'm sure she can hear the concern in my voice.

"I'm so sorry Ash. I just never saw Aiden doing this." I wrap her up in a hug as she silently cries.

"It's okay, everything happens for a reason, right?" My head is telling me no. None of this should have happened. I get angry every time I think of what that asshole did to my Spencer.

"I should get going." what?

"Uh, Ky, you live here."

"Oh, um, I really just need to go back to my family for a bit. Booked a flight once we got home."

"You sure? You want me to go with you?"

"No, it's fine, I just feel like I should be there 'cause they're going through stuff to, you know?"

"Okay, you want me to take you to the airport?"

"Yeah, that'd be great thanks" she says with a sad smile. I get up and grab my keys, getting a post-it and sticking it on the counter.

Spence,

I'm taking Kyla to the airport. I'll be home soon.

Love you,

Ash

I walk over to the door and see Kyla waiting there with her bags.

"Dang you pack fast"

"Oh, I packed them while you were sleeping in the car"

"Did you drive me and Spence home?"

"Yeah, Chelsea drove my car back, then went with the Carlins."

"Thanks Ky" I help Kyla put her bags in the car and we take off.

When I get back from the airport, I walk into the kitchen to get some water. I see Spencer standing on her toes, phone in one hand, looking for the pizza number on the side of the fridge.

I quietly pull myself up to sit on the table and just take her in.

How her tank top rises to show her lower back, how even though she's on her tippy toes, or foot if that makes sense because of her cast, her black/blue plaid pajama bottoms still hit the floor, the way her hair is clipped to the back of her head. Let me tell you, beautiful sight.

"Are you not gonna say hi?" Spencer says to me once she's found the number and took it off the fridge, without even looking at me.

"How did you know I was here?"

"I could feel your eyes on me." Oooooohh. Smartness. I just keep sitting there smiling at her as she turns and hobbles toward me. She leans toward my ear and whispers, "what do you want on your pizza?" I can just feel the chills go through me. She pulls back and giggles at the look on my face while giving me a quick kiss.

"You should see your face Ash," she dials the phone and tells the person we want one large pepperoni. Oh yea we can down one. Once our pizza came, we popped in 'I Am Legend' and ate. I laid down once I was full and pulled Spencer on me. I held her when she teared up at the part with the dog and when the movie was over we were both asleep. It felt like a normal night, and I loved it.
