Ashley's POV

4 am

I'm sound asleep in my bed when my phone starts blasting Kyla's ring tone and favorite song.

I close both locks below the window.
I close both blinds and turn away.
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh.

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in gray,
And the sun will set for you…

I grumble and reach for my phone on the night stand without turning my head.

-Phone Convo-
ASHLEY: "Hello?" I mumble into the phone, eyes still closed.
KYLA: "Hey Ash, you told me to call you when the plane was about to take off. They're boarding the last of the people now."
ASHLEY: "Ok. I'll see you in a few hours."
KYLA: "Ok. Bye Sis."
ASHLEY: "Bye."
I hang up my phone and throw it on the bed beside me.

My alarm, would be going off in about an hour and a half, so I snuggled back into the blankets and brought the same pillow I was holding the night before back into my chest. It still smelled of Spencer's raspberry shampoo that I love so much.

Taking a deep breath, I drift back off into my dream.

Kyla's POV

Airport

Oh my gosh I hate flying, and I'm so tired. I step out from the terminal and glance around the rather empty area. Then I spot Ash sitting in a near by chair, she looks tired as well.

I start walking over to her with a smile and she stands when she sees me.
ASHLEY: "Hey you." She says holding her arms open to me.
I stare at her for a moment, we hadn't really ever hugged.

I step into her arms and embrace my sister tenderly. It was nice to have our little make-shift family coming full circle. I'm really glad we finally got our chance to get to know each other.

We gave each other one last squeeze and then we let go of each other. She has a cute smirk on her face, like she was thinking the exact same thing I was.

KYLA: "Hey" I finally reply.
ASHLEY: "So how was your flight?" She asks as we make our way to baggage claim.
KYLA: "It was ok, I really hate flying." We both laugh at this.
ASHLEY: "You'll get used to it, don't worry."
We laugh again and then continue walking in silence.
KYLA: "So what happened while I was gone?"
ASHLEY: "Oh goodness. It was a long ass weekend baby sis." She says and lets out a heavy sigh, I can tell she's stressed over whatever happened.
KYLA: "You want to talk about it?"
ASHLEY: "Yea, I need some outside perspective."
KYLA: "Well go for it, I'm all ears." By this time we were walking out of the airport.
ASHLEY: "Well to start off with, I forgot about this past Friday being Spencer's and my one month anniversary. I remembered it on the way home from the airport Friday night."
KYLA: "Oh wow, did she remember??" I say with a cute smile, hiding the fact that I was in on it.
ASHLEY: "Did she ever! She planned this big dinner thing for me. Oh my gosh Ky, I love her so much. She cooked and set up roses everywhere. When I got home, she had candles lit and she met me at the staircase looking beautiful as ever. Then she sent me upstairs to get ready and had a hot, candlelit bubble bath prepared with roses and everything. She had picked out an outfit as well. So I did as she asked and got ready and when I rejoined her downstairs, she had a beautiful dinner set up outside on the veranda by the pool. We ate and talked and had an amazing anniversary. Then we danced under the stars with nothing but the night as our music. It was amazing."

I just had this goofy grin on my face as she told me her story. I knew most of what Spencer was going to do for Ashley, but it was so cute seeing her light up about it. She was so in love it was sickeningly cute.

ASHLEY: "Why are you smiling like that??"
KYLA: "Oh, sorry, it's just so cute to see how in love you are," I say with a smile. "and also because I already knew most of this." I say chuckling.
ASHLEY: "Awe man, you were in on it??"
KYLA: "Well how else do you think she got in to do all of that?"
ASHLEY: "You gave her your keys didn't you?"
KYLA: "Yep. But anyways continue. How'd it all go?"
ASHLEY: "Ugh, it was amazing! After we danced, we went swimming. Where we had a pretty good time. . ."
KYLA: "Ewe!" I say cutting her off. "Ash, please tell me you didn't. . . Now I'll never be able to swim in our pool again!!" I exclaim and she just starts laughing.
ASHLEY: "No Ky, we didn't. We just started in the pool. No bathing suits were shed till we were in my room, promise."
KYLA: "Oh my gosh, good!!" We're both laughing now. "Wait, so you and Spencer finally went to the next level??"
ASHLEY: "Yea, we did. And it was amazing. I mean she was a pillow queen for the first 2 nights," she starts laughing at what she's saying. "but last night she took charge. You know how I have a lot of experience and she has none, well until now?"
KYLA: "Thanks for all the images, and yea, what about it?"
She just laughs at my comment and then continues.
ASHLEY: "She was seriously the best I've ever been with Kyla. She's gentle and slow and. ."
KYLA: "Ok, I love you and Spence, but I don't need more visuals."
ASHLEY: "Sorry." She says and blushes. "The point was, she was so loving, she didn't just want to fuck me, she really wanted me ya know? And I've never had that. Someone who just wanted to be with me and love me."
KYLA: "That's sweet. So. . have you told her??" I ask with a quirked eyebrow.
ASHLEY: "Told her what?" She looks at me for a second confused, before figuring it out. "Oh, yea, when we were dancing. We told each other that we love each other." She says with a big goofy grin on her face.
KYLA: "Awe, y'all are so cute together."
ASHLEY: "Thank you." There's a comfortable pause and then her face drops.

KYLA: "So what happened that was so bad then Ash?" I ask quietly.
ASHLEY: "We had dinner with her parents on Saturday night. ." I cut her off.
KYLA: "Oh my gosh, her mom didn't find out did she??" I ask panicked.
ASHLEY: "Oh my gosh no, no, no!! That went fine. Actually, I think her mom likes me. But anyways, we went back to our place and yea, and then we fell asleep. Well I couldn't sleep, so I got up and started looking through pictures that I had. And then Spence woke up and came and sat with me, then we fell asleep on the floor. Then the next thing I knew, she wakes up screaming my name and crying. She wouldn't tell me what she was dreaming that made her scream like that. Then she just kept freaking out all weekend, especially at the thought of me leaving her, even just leaving the room, she would seriously freak out. She would always hold onto me tightly whether awake or asleep. She had me so worried about her."

As Ashley spoke I could hear the pure worriment in her voice and how scared she, in fact, was too.

ASHLEY: "Then we had this big confrontation with Madison at school, you know, the usual, and Spencer refused to let her get near me. And let me tell you, she may have been about to break down, but she still had a death grip on me, keeping me behind her. She was just trying to tell Madison to walk away, but of course Madison refused. So I spoke from behind Spencer, telling Madison to leave or I'd make her. I finally got out from behind Spence and was about to kick me some cheer bitch ass, but Spence started crying and begging me, so being worried about her, I didn't and we left. I finally got Spencer to tell me what happened, and it turns out, in her dream, Madison had killed me, shot me dead." She whispers, she sounds scared as well.

KYLA: "Wow, that's crazy. I'm sorry you and Spencer are going through that."
ASHLEY: "It's ok, but I'm more worried about her. But after telling me, it seems she's doing better. She had to go home last night because her mom didn't have the late shift last night. So we talked on the phone and then went to sleep. I told her we'd be at school by 3rd period."
KYLA: "You can be at school by 3rd period! I just want to go home and sleep."
ASHLEY: "Ok, well I'll drop you at the house and then maybe me, you and Spence could do something after school?"
KYLA: "Yea, that sounds great."

We're pulling into our neighborhood by now.
ASHLEY: "Cool."
We fall into a silence and it seems as if Ash has something else she wanted to say.
ASHLEY: "Hey Ky?" Ahh, there it is.
KYLA: "Yea Ash?"
ASHLEY: "I'm sorry." She says as we pull into the drive way and she parks the car.
Leaving it running, she drops her hands in her lap and looks at me.
KYLA: "For. . ??"
ASHLEY: "Everything. I treated you like dirt when we first met, up until last month. And I'm sorry. It wasn't your fault, you did nothing wrong. It was just hard to handle. You know, dad died and then I find out I have a sister. It all just came crashing down on me. And you just happened to be another reminder of how much our dad had let me down growing up." She's looking down at her hands ashamed now.
KYLA: "It's ok Ash. I understand it was a rough time for you. But I mean look at us, we're closer now, which I'm happy about. I'm just glad to finally know the truth ya know? Cause I grew up not knowing anything until he died."
ASHLEY: "Yea, this month has definitely been a good one. I'm glad we have this opportunity to be a family to each other." She says with a smile.
KYLA: "I agree. I'm glad too." We stare at each other for a moment. "Oh, get over here." I say and we both chuckle as we embrace each other.
ASHLEY: "Alright, enough sisterly love for one day." She says trying to put her walls back up just a bit, I know how hard it was for her to tell me all of that. "I need to get to school."
KYLA: "Ok. See ya later." I grab my bags from the trunk and start towards the house.
She waves as she pulls away and I walk inside.

Home sweet home.
