Oh wow… ten chapters and only 38 reviews?! I must not be doing something right… maybe I just lost my touch… maybe this chapter will get more people to review and tell me im not a horrible writer. Maybe it's the plot line? Not enough Spashley? I think it's the second one… am I right? Don't worry my fellow readers! Their chance will come… or won't :) hahaha
You need to review and tell me what you want to happen!
Chapter 10; remember… more reviews = longer, better chapters.
"Can we please go? Pretty please?" Ashley begged, clasping her hands together, kneeling on Spencer's bed in front of her. She watched as her best friend shook her head with her hands on her hips, "Spencer! Pleaseeee! I'll love you forever!" Ashley smiled, knowing that telling the blonde that would defiantly work. It's worked since fourth grade and now it was the summer before tenth.
Spencer's blue eyes lightened, "Why do you do that to me?" She smiled down at the gorgeous brunette who shrugged. "Fine. Let's go." She turned around, grabbing her jacket from the back of the computer chair. The two girls walked down the stairs, quickly saying bye to Spencer's parents. They walked outside and climbed into Ashley's new car, it was a brand new BMW, "Do you have a license to kill?" Spencer asked, obviously scared.
Ashley climbed into the driver's seat and put on her seat belt and smiled brightly, "It got revoked." She smiled and turned the key and the engine purred. She took a quick glance over at Spencer saw the look in her eyes. They were different than the look on her face. She was scared; she had never ridden with Ashley alone. There was always someone there. She sighed and felt this whirl of protectiveness fall onto her and she grabbed Spencer's hand, "Don't worry, Spence, I'll take care of you." Spencer smiled a smile that only Ashley ever got and she wanted to keep it that way.
The two girls drove down the back roads, Spencer every so often, grabbing onto something, bracing herself around a turn that Ashley took too fast. Ashley giggled every time, she was doing the speed limit and around the curves, she went a little below the limit just so Spencer would feel safe. But apparently she wasn't doing that good of a job. She decided that going to a party tonight wouldn't be the best so at the stop sign, she turned left instead of right which would lead to Madison's house, the most popular girl in school.
Spencer noticed quickly and look over at Ashley who looked content with not going, she couldn't read her friend's face, "You do know you turned the wrong way, right?" Ashley nodded, "Okay… why did you do that then?" All Ashley did was smile and glance over at Spencer; she didn't say anything "Is there where you kill me?" Ashley started busting up laughing but didn't say anything more, "Ashley!" Spencer smiled and shook her head, she looked out of the window. She had never been down this road before, it was nice and quiet. They were the only ones on the road.
They pulled up to another stop sign and the music was playing, country to be exact. It grew on Ashley to listen to it while she's with Spencer which was all the time basically. She even found herself listening to it while she was alone and she just missed her best friend. Spencer continued to look outside, she couldn't see much since it was pitch black, but the street lamp just ahead shined down onto a dirt road. She looked over at Ashley who grabbed her purse from the backseat and took her phone out. Spencer noticed that she had a missed call from Madison but instead of calling her back, she turned her phone off. The blonde raised an eyebrow at Ashley and continued to watch her every move.
Ashley pulled onto the dirt road and the two girls sat there in a comfortable silence between them until Spencer's phone started to ring, Ashley knew that ringtone too well. Aiden. Spencer reached into her pocket and looked at her phone. She smiled small to herself and hit ignore and followed Ashley's lead, she turned off her phone and threw it in the backseat. Ashley smiled over at Spencer and Spencer returned the gesture, "This is where you kill me isn't it?" She raised her eyebrow again.
Ashley smiled, "Everyone thinks we're at the party, it's perfect. No one will know that I killed you, wrapped you in some rope, and threw you in the bottom of a lake."
The blonde's eyes went wide, "You watch way too many crime shows." She earned a laugh from Ashley. Spencer looked outside, "Oh my god…" Her eyes landed on the lake, the moon shining down onto the rippling water. She turned the music down and rolled her windows down, she could hear the crickets chirping, see the bats fly under the moon, hear the frogs croaking, it reminded her so much of how it was back home, "Ashley…" She looked over at the brunette who grabbed a CD from the center console and slid it into the CD player, soft country music started to fill the car.
"Come on, silly." Ashley smiled bright and opened her door and jumped out of the car. Spencer followed her lead and they stood there in front of the car, surrounded by nature, "So tell me," Spencer looked from the lake over to Ashley, "What really gets you about this type of thing?" Ashley motioned towards the surroundings.
Spencer smiled; this was one of the best moments to come with Ashley. She looked at the brunette, the way the moon hit her face, bounced off her deep brown eyes, she was beautiful, "Everything about it does. It's so much better too with you here to enjoy it with." Spencer smiled at Ashley, never looking away. "And you actually made a country CD, shocking you could sit through all of that just for me." Ashley's smiled beamed, she was very proud of herself.
Ashley climbed up on the hood of her car, she patted the spot next to her for Spencer to join her, "You can really see the stars from here." Ashley smiled over at the blonde and watched and waited patiently for her best friend to lie down next to her.
After a few minutes of silence, Spencer turned to the brunette, "Why'd you do this, Ash? Instead of the party that you're supposed to be at…" She trailed off, playing with the hem of her shirt.
Ashley laid there, looking up at the stars, "its simple, Spence," She smiled and looked at the blonde, "I'll love you forever." Spencer smiled and rolled over onto her side and wrapped her arms around Ashley's right arm and leaned her head on her inner shoulder.
"This is perfect, Ashley." She admitted quietly and they laid there together for a couple of hours, just talking and listening to everything happening around the two of them.
Ashley sat at the table, sipping on her morning coffee, looking outside of the window, taking in the beauty of the countryside. The way the trees were almost bare naked, the leaves all on the ground that tumbled within the wind. It was almost as beautiful as Spencer, Ashley thought to herself. She went to take another sip of her coffee when she heard a noise from behind, coming from Spencer. She quickly set her cup down and ran to Spencer's side, rubbing her back as she puked into the trashcan.
"Oh god, where the hell did this come from?" Spencer asked before she puked again, it was clear though and it burned her throat.
"Oh honey…" Ashley said quietly as she brushed some of the hair out of Spencer's face.
"This happened yesterday morning too." Spencer admitted quietly, laying her head down onto the bed, closing her eyes, she didn't want to look at Ashley while she felt so bad.
Ashley sat on the floor next to the bed, still rubbing her back, "Are you getting sick?"
Spencer shrugged, "I dunno… I hope not, I have an exam Monday." Ashley laughed, of course Spencer would be thinking about you. "I'd go anyways." Spencer opened her eyes and smiled. "Can I have some water, Ash?" Ashley nodded and before she got up, she leaned over and pressed her lips to Spencer's forehead to check to see if she had any sort of temperature, she sighed when it felt normal. Spencer smiled to herself when Ashley stood up and walked over to get her a glass of water, "You're so sweet, Ashley." She said quietly when Ashley returned by her bedside and continued on with rubbing her back.
She smiled down at Spencer, "You're worth it, Spence." The blonde smiled at Ashley and took sips of the water; she set it on the nightstand and looked at the picture, freezing because she knew Ashley had seen it. Ashley noticed what she was looking at and giggled, "You're pretty cute, Spencer." Spencer started to blush, "I love that picture." Ashley looked at the picture and smiled, they both looked so happy in it.
"Well I love y-it too." Spencer quickly took another drink from her water and Ashley just smiled at the blonde. She looked down at her clothes and realized that she doesn't remember getting from the lake back to her dorm, "Um… what happened last night?" Ashley started laughing and removed her hand from Spencer's back.
"Um… Spence? You were hammered." Ashley giggled looking at Spencer whose eyes went wide, "But don't worry… you didn't do anything too bad."
"Oh my god…" Spencer leaned up on her elbows and stared at Ashley, "What'd I do?" She looked worried.
"Well I mean, you puked everywhere for starters," Spencer sighed, "And you were all over Carrie again, tried to jump into the lake, we made out," Spencer's eyes went wide once more and her mouth dropped a little, but there was a hint of a smile at the corners of her mouth, something Ashley didn't catch it was so subtle. Ashley laughed, "Okay all of that was a lie, cept you did puke every where and you did try to jump into the lake nude."
"You didn't say nude the first time!" Spencer's face was beat red, she couldn't believe how she acted. Ashley laughed, she was defiantly enjoying this. But she wouldn't dare her that Spencer almost tried to kiss her; she didn't want to freak her out. "So, we didn't really make out?" Spencer asked kind of quietly, disappointed.
Ashley shook her head, "No I didn't feel like competing with Carrie." Ashley laughed nervously to herself, she would have killed to kiss Spencer but she knew that it was wrong. She stood up and Spencer's eyes followed her.
"So you drove me home?" She nodded, "Changed me?" Ashley nodded and sat down next to Spencer, "Helped me through everything?" Ashley nodded once more, "And cleaned me up after it all?"
Ashley smiled and nodded to Spencer, "And I didn't even get mad at you for puking all over me." Spencer hung her head and Ashley laughed quietly and put her arm around Spencer, "Don't worry Spence; I'll still love you forever." Ashley smiled at the Spencer who's smiled ear to ear, a light shade of pink taking over her cheeks.
