Alright guys, here's chapter 25. Unfortunately I've hit a bit of a writers block with both stories...I just don't have the urge to write right now. So I don't know when I'm going to have the chapters up. Plus I've got a ton of stuff to do before school starts up. The only thing you guys can do is leave a few reviews to guilt me into writing, because right now I'm not all that compelled. Sorry lurkers and reviewers.

I did write a little Brittana one-shot called "The Striker and the Keeper" if anyone's interested.

Disclaimer: You know it.

REVIEWERS:

Squintsquad03: I'm willing to look past your coffee addiction. Rapinoes hair was sadly mistreated in sunday's game. And we shallll not talk about the horror that was the last bit of that thing. xD

Read, REVIEW, and ENJOY

A Few Damages Can't Stop a Davies

Ashley's POV

Well, I ended up with a broken hand. It sucks. I can't play my guitar and I can't write. Spencer isn't too happy for two reasons. One I hurt myself and put myself in danger. Two, I can't "do" Spencer with my right hand, so she's been a little deprived. Going to have to attempt to use the left and a whole lot of tongue. Too graphic? Too bad.

Arden was a lot worse off. Stitches above her eyebrow, a busted lip, a mild concussion, a broken hand and a few cracked ribs. She's been doing ok. Kyla's been waiting on her hand and foot for saving her from that douchebag. Arden's insisted that she doesn't need her to do things for her, but Kyla is relentless. Apparently Arden was about to take some girl home and do…things, and ask if Kyla needed a way back or if she was going with me or her new friend. But she saw Ky struggling against the guy who was all over her and grabbing at her. Arden stepped up and that's when I came in. What can I say…the Davies girls stick together. In the little time that we've gotten to know each other we've bonded quite a bit. Plus they both love Spencer and I of course love Spencer so it's worked out pretty nicely.

Glen came over once and looked pretty smitten with Ky but I didn't see anything coming from that. Kyla is way out of Glen's league….plus that'd be weird. My sister and her brother. Ugh. Plus it's Glen. Ew, ew, ew badddd images. Happy that didn't happen.

Arden's still playing the field even with her injuries. It makes her look like some sort of beaten and bruised hero and it has the girls going wild. She's brought home three different girls this week. Little Davies has some game.

I walk out into my hallway and spot a familiar face ducking out of Arden's room. Carmen Reed. I went to elementary and middle school with her younger sister Lucy. , I don't keep in touch with Lucy. Carmen's just back because she goes to UCLA. Wait…out of Arden's room? Seriously? Carmen's like 19 and in college. Carmen looks up from rummaging through her purse and I give her a questioning look.

"What?" She says, fishing her keys out of her bag.

"Nothing, nothing…just that you're officially a pedo."

She laughs, "Arden's pretty cool and very talented." She wiggles her brows.

"Ew, seriously, Carm. How did you two meet anyways?"

"I actually thought she was you for like two seconds and called out 'Davies' at Starbucks she turned and I apologized. Then she explained the whole half-sister thing and why she's fairly beat up and we got talking…and weeellll here I am." She gives a slight chuckle.

"You are aware that the kid is 16 right?" I nudge her.

"Yeah, yeah, I know Mama Ashley." She teases. "It was just a little fling. You know how Arden is, she doesn't get attached. Much like you when you were her age. That Alex chick came along and turned you around real quick though." She winks. She and Alex have never met. Carmen contacted me about a week after she left. "She's a good kid, Ash. She just needs herself one of those people to turn her around, not everyone is as lucky as you to have two."

Correction Carm, had two. No one knows still about Alex's and my falling out so I just I nod and agree, "Yeah...I know."

"Hey Carm, you left this in my room." Arden walks over gingerly. It's amazing that she can pick up girls and do what she did all night with Carmen in that condition. I'm pretty impressed by my little sister. "Hey, Ash." She shoots me a grin that basically says 'I just got laid' and hands over Carmen's phone.

"Hey." I say, looking between the two of them.

Carmen takes the phone and winks at Arden who grins like a cheshire cat. Ugh, don't need hints as to what they were doing all night.

"So I'll see ya around Carm?" Arden asks, pulling Carmen into her arms.

Carmen walks into her and wraps her arms around Arden. "Yeah, I've gotta get back home and visit Luce for a while. She just got back from a trip somewhere. Mom was pretty vague about it. But, I'll call you when I'm back in town and looking for some fun." She grins and kisses Arden on the lips softly. Arden lets go and Carmen turns around to walk away, but not before having a firm smack land on her ass. Carmen turns around and looks behind her, raising a brow at Ard. She just winks and smirks at her. Carmen shakes her head and exits the hallway and we hear the front door open and close.

"Huh…you've got a talent there, Ard." I muse as I ruffle her hair playfully.

"Dude….you just killed my hair." She fixes her hair. "And yeah, she was a good lay." She smirks and walks off. There's no saving that one. She's an addict. Her addiction: Women.
