Chapter 21:

Here we go, give me your thoughts and review.

Previously on Somewhere Only We Know:

When the lights go to black and the band leaves the stage

And you wanted an encore but there's no encore today

Cause the moment is now, can't get it back from the grave

Part of the show - it all fades away

Lights go to black - band leaves the stage

You wanted an encore but there's no encore today

Cause the moment is now, can't get it back from the grave

Welcome to the Heist

"Welcome to the heist baby" Ashley said pressed up against my back. I moaned as she kissed up and down my neck.

"Time for our date let's move it" she said slapping my ass as she walked out the door.

Ashley's POV

Spencer has not stopped asking me since we left about where we are going. I wanted to make it a surprise. I knew that the look on her face would be absolutely priceless when we showed up at the carnival.

Growing up with a rich dad and a distant mom did have its perks. My bank account was constantly full with more than I could ever even spend. Before we left I grabbed my credit card because I wanted Spencer to be able to have whatever she wanted for an entire day.

"Baby please just tell me where we're going" Spencer said giving me her best puppy dog face. I almost caved in when she did this, I mean how could you not, she looked so damn cute.

I had my hand on her thigh and my other hand was on the steering wheel. Her hands were holding on to the hand on her thigh.

"Baby, I told you that it's a surprise" I gave her hand a squeeze. "We will be there soon and I am looking forward to seeing your face" I said quietly.

She gave me a wide smile and squeezed my hand out of happiness. I knew that this was going to be an awesome day and I just wanted to see Spencer smile. Her smile was enough to light up the whole room. It was a shame that I wasn't able to see her smile enough.

We pulled up to the carnival and I pulled into a parking space. I looked over at Spencer and saw her eyes light up. She had this huge grin on her face and I could see her smile in her eyes.

Everything that we had gone through together was totally worth it for that one moment.

Spencer's POV

"Are you serious Ashley" I started screaming as I bounced up and down in my seat. Keep in mind that my seatbelt was still on, so I can imagine that I looked quite awkward. Ashley was giving me a loving smile and she just nodded.

We both jumped out of the car and I ran over to Ashley and grabbed her waist. I spun her around and pulled her close to me. I could tell that she was surprised by my actions because she was kind of out of breath. I guess that could of been because of another reason as well.

I pulled her against me and crashed my lips against hers. She slip her tongue into my mouth and massaged my tongue with hers. I pushed her up against her car and pushed myself against her even more. She reached behind me running her hands up and down my back underneath my shirt.

I loved the feeling of her hands on my skin. I could feel goose-bumps forming everywhere that her hands passed. Her hands then dipped down to my ass and squeezed it through my incredibly tight jeans. I grind myself into her, loving the feeling of her body against mine.

We both pulled back knowing that it was getting too heated way too quickly. I leaned my head against hers before grabbing her hands in mine.

"Thank you" I whispered, ghosting my lips across hers.

"Baby, I will do anything for you" she said mimicking my movements against my lips. She pushed herself off of the car and grabbed my hand in hers. She laced our fingers together before bringing my hand up to her lips and kissing it.

We walked hand in hand into the carnival. It was a beautiful 75 degree day out and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. We walked up to the front desk and Ashley grabbed her credit card out of her pocket and bought us two wristbands.

Ashley refused to let go of my hand while the man at the front desk was putting on my wristband. This made things hard for the guy, but hey who was I to let go of my beautiful girlfriends hand.

We decided to just walk around for a little while and take in the sights around us. There were families everywhere and I couldn't help a sad smile form across my face. I knew that there was nothing I could do now, this is the way my life was going to be.

Ashley squeezed my hand a little bit tighter before giving me a sad smile. I could tell that she knew that seeing families bothered me . The wound was still fresh. Eventually I knew that I would stop thinking about my family. I was nothing to them, so they were going to be nothing to me.

We were walking over to the whack-a-mole game because Ashley insisted that she was going to win me a huge teddy bear.

"Hey dykes can I watch" I heard yelled from behind us. I could feel myself tense up, not because of what he said, but because I was scared he was going to try and hurt me.

Ashley pulled me behind her and pulled my arms around my waist. I placed my face in the crook of her neck and inhaled the calming smell that was Ashley.

She was massaging my hands and it was helping me to calm down.

We decided to get away from everyone and get on the ferris wheel. They were the little four-seater pods that you could sit in. They had some music playing and I was bobbing my head up and down.

we cut the legs off of our pants

threw our shoes into the ocean

sit back and wave through the daylight

sit back and wave through the daylight

We sat down and were looking out the window while the two other people got it. Now wouldn't it be my fucking luck that the only two people in the world who would be on a date, are the two people in our pod.

Ashley's arm went around my soldier and she pulled me into her side. I could tell that we weren't the only ones that felt uncomfortable. I could see that both Glen and Madison looked extremely awkward.

slip and slide on subway grates

these shoes are poor mans ice skates

fall through like change in the daylight

fall through like change in the daylight

i miss yellow lines in my roads

some color on monochrome

maybe i'll paint them in myself

maybe i'll paint them in myself

these sidewalks liquid then stone

building walls and an old pay phone

it rings like all through the daylight

You could literally cut the tension with a knife. No on was speaking and no one was moving except for Ashley lightly stroking my hand.

and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine

i hope that someday i'll see without these frames

and in the daylight i don't pick up my phone

cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

I have five clocks in my life

and only one has the time right

i'll just unplug it for today

ill just unplug it for today

open hydrant rolled down windows

this car might make a good old boat

and float down grand street in daylight

and float down grand street in daylight

Could this physically be anymore awkward. I mean come on my ex-best friend and my brother in a pod suspended in the air, sitting across from me and my lesbian girlfriend.

Can someone explain to me what I did in my past life to deserve something like this.

and with just half of a sunburn

new yellow lines that i earned

step back and here comes the night time

step back and here comes the night time

and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine

i hope that someday i'll see without these frames

and in the daylight i don't pick up my phone

cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

Both Ashley and I ran out of the cart as fast as possible, hoping to escape the awkward situation. If only I didn't have to get my sweater stuck in the damn revolving gate as you exit the ride.

"Save yourself" I said exasperatingly as I tried to get my sweater unstuck.

She grabbed my sweater off of me and said "fuck it", throwing it on to the ground. We ran away like Bonnie and Clyde fleeing a crime scene. We were cracking up laughing as we ran to the nearest food vendor, in search of something to clog out arteries.

"Um Spencer can we talk" I heard from some one behind me. I sighed and turned around. Oh here we go.

So much for a day at the carnival.

Let me know what you think.
