Spencer sat in her room letting the darkness surround her, she welcomed it gladly. She finally let the tears fall as she sank into her pillows and breathed in Ashley's scent. It had been weeks she had talked or even seen her girlfriend and it was seriously ripping her apart. She was glad she had Aiden though; he had been a great friend through it all. Spencer wiped her eyes before sitting up and flipping on her lamp, she squinted as the light hit her eyes. She stood up and crossed over to her dresser grabbing the pictures she had been looking at the last few days all of her and Ashley. She cried as she held them close and placed them under her pillow.

Aiden ran a hand through his hair and took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell to the Carlin residence.

"Aiden hi", a tired looking Arthur answered as he stepped aside allowing him to enter.

Aiden smiled as he stepped into the house. "How is she doing?" he asked already knowing the answer.

Arthur frowned as he glanced towards the stairs.

Aiden nodded as he followed his gaze. "May I?"

Arthur nodded as he patted him on the back. "Thanks for being there for her." He then turned and headed towards the kitchen.

Aiden trotted up the stairs and knocked lightly on the door before entering. He held up a bag and smiled. "I brought ice cream and some movies."

Spencer smiled. She was so glad to have Aiden through this all. He was proving to be a really great friend.

Aiden set the bag down as he sat beside Spencer on the bed. He took in her broken appearance and frowned. "Anything?"

Spencer began crying again as she shook her head no.

Aiden pulled her into his arms and let her cry, he too letting the tears fall.

"I can't believe she is doing this." Spencer cried into his shirt. "How could her father do this to her!?" She screamed as she pulled away.

Aiden listened as Spencer recounted the story from the night they went and saw Raife. "Wow I can't believe he would supply Ashley with drugs."

Spencer laughed, "I can, and her family does not give a flying crap about her."

Aiden's heart dropped as he realized just how right Spencer was. "But we do." And we can still help."

Spencer shot up off the bed, "How?" She won't answer my calls and every time I go over there it ends in a fight and I watch her leave. She ran her hands through her hair. "I'm losing her."

Aiden stood up and went over to Spencer. "You're not going to lose her, she loves you so much Spence."

Spencer scoffed. "Let's just watch the movies."

Aiden nodded as he followed her back to the bed. They both sat down and cuddled close as they watched the first movie.

Spencer suddenly shot up startling Aiden.

"Are you okay?" he asked as she rubbed his eyes.

"Yeah sorry." Spencer said she checked the time. It was a little pass six. She was surprised her mother didn't burst into her room declaring dinner was ready.

Aiden rubbed his eyes again and sat up. "I should probably go I'm sure your mom will be home soon."

Spencer cringed, "she might be glad to see you here in my bed."

Aiden smiled as she cupped Spencer's cheek stroking it gently. "Ashley will be in this bed again."

Spencer smiled as she leaned in to hug him. They both jumped apart when Spencer's bedroom door was flung open and Paula and Arthur came through it.

"Mom, dad what's wrong?" Spencer asked as she took in her parent's worried expressions.

"Spencer sweetie they found a body on the beach." Paula said.

"It was Ashley." Arthur chimed in.
