Chapter 14

Spencer sat on her bed with her cell phone in her hand contemplating whether to call Ashley or not. 'Ok so…here are my options if I call her she might not want to talk to me. Depends on how mad she is or she might actually forgive me for being so stupid. If I don't call her then it might take even longer for her to forgive me or I can just confront at school tomorrow because face to face is much better….hmm I don't, I'm screwed' Spencer continued to stare at her phone, debating. Finally she decided to just call her.

'Ring' 'Ring' ….after about several rings the voicemail picked up. Spencer sighed in anticipation.

Ashley's Voicemail: "hi you reached Ashley, leave a message"

Spencer felt horrible at the sound of how sad Ashley's voice had sounded. She could tell that Ashley had renewed her voicemail message because the last time she had heard her voicemail Ashley had sounded more happy and cheerful. Of course that had been before they had gotten into the argument.

Spencer: "Uh hey Ash uh erm Ashley this is Spencer but of course you knew that. Duh! So yeah I just called cuz I wanted to talk to you and tell you that…" at that moment the line had got cut off. Spencer shut her phone and threw it across the room in frustration.

She had gotten enough encourage to call Ashley on to be answered by her voicemail. 'Maybe that was a sign that we weren't ready to be friends again. No, it couldn't be maybe she just turned off her phone. Yeah that was probably it. I hope it was at least' she thought hopeful. She got off her bed and went to pick up her phone. She checked the time and saw that it was 5:30. She decided that since she hadn't made any other friends besides Ashley that she had no one else to talk to or to hang out with, therefore she concluded on just going to the beach. 'I'll talk to her tomorrow' She grabbed her keys and closed the door behind her as she left the house.

Ashley had been doing the same thing Spencer had been doing not to long ago. Only she didn't have the courage to call her, she wanted to talk to Spencer upfront, face to face. She checked the clock and it showed that it was 5:30. She took her keys off the dresser and made her way out of the large house.

Minutes later she arrived at the Carlin house. She hadn't seen Spencer's car but thought that maybe she had just parked on the street somewhere. She walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. She waited patiently outside; when the door finally opened it revealed of the Carlin men.

Glen: "Hey Ashley, perfect timing. I was just about to leave but I guess I can squeeze you in. Let's make it a quickie though; I'm kind of tired."

Ashley: "Ha ha not about you right now."

Glen: "What are you talking about, it's always about me."

Ashley: "Whatever asshole, just tell Spencer I came looking for her."

Ashley turned to walk back to her car, until a grip held onto her wrist. She turned to face the cocky Carlin.

Glen: "Listen I'm sorry Ashley, I didn't mean to be a jerk, please come in…" Ashley looked at him quizzically "I promise I won't try anything."

Ashley gave in and walked into the house. She went into the living area and sat down on the couch, Glen following from behind. She looked at him, wondering why he had asked her to come in.

Glen: "I'm sorry I acted like such an ass, it's just I thought that girls liked confident guys."

Ashley: "No, girls like to be treated as human beings not like some piece of ass."

Glen: "Madison doesn't seem to complain."

Ashley: "Yeah well Madison's a whore."

Glen chuckled at the remark. He stared and the young beauty in front of him, his thoughts were interrupted by the younger girl.

Ashley: "See girls like to be treated with respect. We like to be treated the same way guys like to be treated. Tell me honestly would you like some girl to treat you like some dog, pulling you by a leash?"

Glen: "No I guess not."

Ashley: "Exactly, if you want a girl then be yourself, not someone you everyone wants you to be or expects you to be. Be romantic, nice, and sweet anything but a cocky, confident, asshole…No offense."

Glen: "None taken, but hey thanks for the advice"

Ashley: "No problem."

Glen: "So what's going on with you and my sister?"

Ashley: "What do you mean?"

Glen: "Well I don't know what you to are, but what ever it is thanks. I have never seen Spencer as happy as she has been since meeting you. Even in Ohio, she wasn't sad but at the same time she wasn't happy either. She was just there with no emotion. But since we moved to L.A. she seems happy, like actually happy. And we have you to thank for that, because you make her happy and smile. Just the other day she was singing along to a Hilary Duff song, she never used to do that, heck she doesn't even like Hilary Duff."

Ashley giggled at the thought of Spencer singing 'So Yesterday'.

Glen continued "Sure she may seem all confident, and know who she is, but deep down she's lost and just as confused as the next person. Lately though it seems as if someone's found her and help her realize everything. That someone is you. So yeah thank you. Even though I hate your boyfriend, you Ashley Davies are a great person."

Ashley smiled sweetly and honestly at Glen, something she never would have thought she'd be doing, let alone to Glen of all people. She realized that it was already 6:30, she had been there with Glen for an hour. Spencer still hadn't come home yet, and Ashley couldn't stay there much longer she had to get home and get ready for school. She got up off the couch and walked over to the door. Glen had gotten up too and walked her to the door. Ashley offered Glen one last small smile before exiting the house.

Glen: "Oh, and Ashley."

Ashley turned to him before getting into her car.

Glen: "I'll make sure to tell Spencer you stopped by."

They smiled once again; Ashley got into her car and started it up. She drove off down the driveway and turned left.

Spencer had just gotten home when a familiar car was leaving her driveway. She thought she had seen Ashley in it. 'No, that can't be Ashley. Why would she even be at my

house? It was probably just Madison, trying to sell herself to Glen. Knowing him she probably succeeded to.' Spencer thought as she parked her car right in front of the house.

As she got off she noticed that Glen had just shut the door. 'He's going to be sore in the morning. Oh god ew, I did not need to think that.' She walked into the house and immediately went up to her.

A few seconds later there was a knock at her door.

Spencer: "Go away! I don't feel like talking to anyone right now."

Glen: "OK well I just wanted to tell you that Ashley…never mind you probably don't want to hear it."

At the mention of Ashley's name Spencer quickly got off the bed and went to open the door. There stood Glen with the most annoying smile ever plastered on his face.

Glen: "Took you long enough, that's a new record 3 seconds. And you two are just friends, just imagine when you two are dating, you're going to be so whipped."

Spencer: "Whatever! What happened with Ashley? Is she ok?"

Glen: "She's fine, she just stopped by while you were gone and she wanted me to tell you that she stopped by."

Spencer: "That's it? That's all she said?"

Glen: "Yup"

Spencer: "You suck at giving out information."

Glen: "Well what can you do about it? What happens between me and Ashley stays between me and Ashley."

Spencer just rolled her eyes at the older Carlin and shut the door in his face.

Glen: "You should be happy that I even told you that much!" he shouted through the shut door.

Spencer walked back over to her bed and threw herself on it. 'So it was Ashley who I saw leaving the house. Damn! If only I had stopped flirting with that girl at the beach and gotten home earlier, I could have talked to Ashley. Damn! Stupid Spencer. Maybe that's a sign saying that she forgives me and that she wants to be my friend again. I hope so, only time can tell though….Wow I really got to stop talking to myself, it's getting kind of creepy.' Spencer sat there contemplating on what it meant when Ashley had gone over to see her. Well whatever the real reason was she would just have to wait until tomorrow to find out the truth.

plz R and R!
