Ashley rolled on to her side and was met by a cold, empty space. She sat up, pure terror running through her veins. The loft was silent except for the sound of Ashley's quickened heartbeat and quickened breathing. She leapt out of bed and out of the bedroom. The loft was made up of four rooms. Two bedrooms, a bathroom and the kitchen/living room. She searched the entire loft and finding no sign of Spencer.
She leaned against the large window that made the exterior wall of the loft. Her hand ran through her hair as she tried to fight back the tears. "Spencer." she breathed as she slid down the cold glass.
Ashley got her phone out of her pocket, pushed it open. She dialled Spencer's number and her heart slowed when she answered.
"Hey babe, what's up?"
"I woke up and you weren't there. I got scared." Ashley admitted quietly, as if she was in a room of people that she didn't want to know that she valued a relationship.
"I'm not going anywhere Ash. I went to get us coffee."
"I know, I just love you so much Spence, after the last few months I just wanted to wake up beside you." Ashley pouted, relaxing with every word Spencer was saying to her.
"I'm sorry Ash. I'll be back in a few so we can snuggle and stuff then."
"Where's Aiden?"
"Oh, he's talking to some guy outside. They seem to be getting pretty close so I don't think we have to worry about him for a little while."
"Hurry back then babe." Ashley smiled and hung up the phone, returning back to bed.
Ashley led Spencer proudly in to the club. She missed the scene but she had always felt that on her own, she would be too tempted to so something stupid. She knew now though that Spencer wouldn't let her.
Spencer wasn't happy at first that Ashley wanted to go out to a club but she was won over by Ashley's sweet talking and promises.
The intense beat hit the girls immediately. Ashley was excited by it and immediately wanted to dance but some of her old friends were waving her over to them at the bar. Spencer held tightly on to Ashley's hand as they made their way through the mass of bodies.
"Ashley! We haven't seen you out in ages! Where have you been babe?" a drunken brunette asked, her words slurred and her arms draping over Ashley's shoulder.
Ashley pushed the drunkard off of her, slightly repulsed but the pungent smell of alcohol. "Oh you know, getting clean." The group laughed and Spencer squeezed Ashley's hand for reassurance. She knew it wouldn't be easy for her to face these people and their ridicule.
"You, clean? Yeah right Ash! You're like the biggest stoner in the whole of LA!" a guy shouted from the back of the group. "Who's the babe?"
"This is Spencer."
"You're going to get lucky tonight Blondie. Ashley's great in the sack." The drunken brunette slurred and stumbled over to Spencer.
"Tess, that's enough." Ashley said angrily. Tess threw her hands up in a mock surrender and laughed, returning to the bar to get another drink. Ashley took a seat in front of the bar, pulling Spencer to rest between her legs.
"Don't listen to these losers babe. You are a better person than you were back then." Spencer said quietly in Ashley's ear.
The couple stayed in the same position for a while. Every now and again, Spencer would lean down to kiss Ashley or they would order a shot and down it quickly. Each time Ashley would laugh at the face Spencer pulled.
After a few shots, Ashley felt herself being dragged out on to the dance floor. The low seductive beat filled the brunette and she dropped her body against the other girl. Spencer's leg moved between Ashley's, giving her more to dance against. She draped her arms over Ashley's shoulders and pulled the brunette close to her, kissing her neck aggressively. Ashley groaned and let Spencer pull her in to the bathroom.
Coming to her senses, Ashley shoved Spencer against the far wall, wrapping both of Spencer's legs around her hips. The music from the club was vibrating through the walls, driving Ashley in her actions. She kissed Spencer passionately, her ass in one hand, boob in the other.
Spencer moaned loudly, pressing herself against Ashley even more as she moved Spencer up and down on her fingers to the beat of the music. As unbearable pleasure ran through her, Spencer bit down on the younger girls shoulder, stifling a scream.
"I love you." Ashley cooed as Spencer struggled to regain her breath.
"Ashley" Spencer grumbled. "I hate you." She pouted as Ashley laughed.
"What's up babe?" she brushed the hair out of Spencer's face and sat back against her pillows. Spencer crawled in to Ashley's lap and buried her face in Ashley's chest.
"My head fucking kills."
"I'm guessing you've never been out drinking before." Ashley laughed again as Spencer shook her head then winced at the pain. "I'll go get you some aspirin and a coffee babe." She kissed Spencer's forehead before leaving to get what she had promised.
The front door cracked open and Aiden slipped in as quietly as he could, his jacket in his hand and his neck covered in red marks.
"And where have you been lover boy?" Ashley said in a mocking tone. Aiden stood bolt upright; his eyes were wide like a deer caught in headlights.
"Oh uh, you know, around." He stuttered as Ashley moved across the kitchen to make a pot of coffee.
"How was it?" she asked on a chuckle.
"It was amazing!" he gushed and sat on one of the stools around the edge of the loft. "I really love LA. The guys are just so hot and most of them are gay!"
"Don't become a man whore Aid." Ashley said as she walked back in to her bedroom with coffee and pills for Spencer and herself. Although Ashley was used to hangovers, it didn't make them any easier to get through. She didn't even think she had drunk that much.
She felt a pain in her shoulder as she sat down. She pulled her shirt down to look at the area, seeing a large purple bruise with four small teeth marks.
"Who gave you that?" Spencer shrieked. Ashley smirked because getting that mark was the most memorable part of the night.
"You did you muffin!" Spencer blushed and sank back down in to their bed. She winced when she felt pain in her knuckles. She looked at Ashley, expecting her to know what happened. It came clear to Ashley how Spencer got the larger bruise on her knuckle.
"Ash, come on babe. Let it go. They aren't worth it." Spencer said, trying to calm Ashley down as her old friends were taking the jokes a little too far.
"Yeah Ash, listen to the whore." Tess shouted.
"Don't you dare call my girl a fucking whore!" Ashley shouted back.
"Wow, Ashley Davies being all monogamous! I never thought I'd see the day." Tess jibed.
"Shut the fuck up you bitch! Ashley isn't who you think she is. She never was. Just leave us alone and go back to your sad little lives!" Spencer said angrily, losing her temper quickly. She had planned on letting Ashley fight this by her self and being there to support her but this had taken it way too far.
"Why don't you keep your nose out of other peoples business you little slut."
Before you could say 'Gay is the way', Tess was on the floor, clutching at her cheek and Ashley was pulling Spencer out of the club, laughing all the way.
"Yeah well I didn't like them treating you like that. They are supposed to be your friends." Spencer pouted. "I did it because I love you."
"I love you too babe. It turned me on so much how protective you were of me." She whispered before kissing the blonde.
"Ashley!" she groaned. "Don't get me all Horney when I'm hung over! That's just really cruel." She pouted and looked up at her lover who was leaning over her slightly.
Ashley smiled and kissed Spencer again. She sighed contently in to the kiss and knew that id she died in that moment, she would be happy. She was with the woman that she loved and she was living the life that she had dreamt about since she was a little girl. She was a successful singer and her fame was growing.
It would appear that her trip to England did everything that it was intended to do and more. It got Ashley clean and it brought her to Spencer. She definitely thought that going to England was the best thing that had ever happened to her. The month of heartbreak seemed almost necessary in some weird way. Ashley figured that without that, she wouldn't be who she was today and she wouldn't appreciate what she has as much as she should.
Rehabilitation is something that Ashley would recommend to anyone that is in the position that she was in.

Reviews are love.
I'm trying to think of a way to continue Bliss but I'm not promising anything.
