Wellll, I HAD A TON OF REVIEWS. SOOOO HAPPY. So in response, I have a lonnnnnger chapter for you all. PLUUS REMEMBER WHEN I USED TO ACTUALLY HAVE MUSIC IN CHAPTERS. It's baaaack.
Disclaimer: Ya know it.
REVIEWERRRRRSSSS..Seriously, awesome.
FumblingTowardsEcstacy: Quite impressed with two reviews in one day. -Claps like an excited three year old- Ardypoo is a bit insecure, but Coop hasn't necessarily reassured her tooooo much with feelings, she has had a track record with not opening up to people, like Bridge, as you should remember. Duh, Coop likes you. Yes, she was being naughty, she takes over sometimes. Crazy Cooper. The replacement shallll be revealed in time, m'lady, all in time. For now you'll just have to enjoy that sap of a Coop and Spashley times. A Pleasure, as always.
southfan12191989: Yeah, she's a little hazardous and feisty, but its what makes her entertaining.
DatBiiitchZee: Arden will lighten up eventually, she just is a littttle insecure.
lilce1992: She's alllll good, no worries.
BreakYourHEart: Glad Coop entertained you by trying to hijack my author's note. She's a feisty one that Coop. Eh, I already knew you were pervy so meh, doesn't make a difference. xD
Bleed. out .my .heart: Aw well thanks. At first it was a bit difficult...like having too many puppies and trying to remember all their names and relationships, but it worked out after the first week. Coop is the fan favorite...I do blame myself. I have quite an obsession with writing for that Cooper. Thanks so much for this awesome review, I hope you'll continue reviewing while I post these chapters. Dollface? That's a new one, hun. Never been called that in my life, but hey, first for everything. ;P

Hospital Conference Room
Ashley's POV
"God, Al…do you know how much I hate you?" Whoa, waking up to your sister confessing her hate for her girlfriend is kind of interesting. My eyes shoot open and I take in my surroundings. We must've dozed off for a few hours, but hey I have an excuse, a hot blonde physically wore me out and then a goofy brunette scared the shit out of me tiring me emotionally. Speaking of the hot blonde, Spencer is currently snuggled into my chest, leaning over the two chairs we pushed together. So cute. Arden has her back to me, grasping Alex's hand who is just barely awake by her movements.
"Yeah, I know, Ard. Hate is used upon me quite a lot, 'tis why no one likes me, after all." Alex chuckles tiredly. Oh, well, obviously they're kidding. Phew, that would've been bad. Jesus, give me a heart attack.
"Why do you do this to yourself?" She says as she runs her fingers through Alex's hair. I feel like I'm intruding a bit, but I'd rather not move and wake Spence, she needs some sleep, she was the one who had to keep calm in our earlier situation.
"Because I love what I do." Coop states simply. "No matter how much stress it puts on me, or how much sleep it deprives me of, or how much backlash I get from the network or critics or angry catholic mothers, I love it, simple as that." She tries to muster up as much passion as she can from her exhausted state.
"Do you love me more?" Arden questions and I'm shocked. Have they said I love you already? I've been trying to muster up the courage to tell Spencer and they've already skipped over me? "Do you love me enough Al, to put your work aside before you hurt yourself more?" Arden questions again, I've never noticed how much of a workaholic Coop is until now. Sure I thought she worked hard, but yeah, now that I think about it it's a lot and I'm sure Arden feels like she's second to it and is asking for some sort of confirmation that she's not. That she's more important.
Spencer stirs slightly and yawns, burying her face into my side. They turn back to us and Arden looks a little grumpy at Alex's lack of focus on their current conversation. "Uh, hey guys?" I say softly. "Glad to see you awake Al. You scared us for a minute there."
"Ah, merely a minute, 'tis all I'm worth." Alex comments dramatically and Arden bops her on the head. "What? Would you like me to be rude and ignore your sister?"
"No, I'd like you to answer my damn question."
Alex goes to speak when she's interrupted, "Alex good to see you awake!" Paula walks in in her white coat looking all doctory.
"How bad am I? Tell me! I can handle it." Coop shuts her eyes waiting for the impact of the answer. Arden huffs and walks out and Paula looks at Alex questioningly. "It's been a long and stressful day for her, she's just a little upset." Paula nods understandingly.
"Well, you'll be fine. You just stressed yourself out. You need to make sure that you eat and drink and rest. Most importantly, cut back on the work. You should rest for at least a week."
"A week?" Alex exclaims, "Paula, do you know how much happens on a tv show in a week? Seriously."
"Nah huh, Al." I hear a familiar voice from the doorway and see Nikki poking her head in. "No excuses, everyone's agreed to take the week off 'til you come back as long as you finalize any changes to the episode plot line by the time we get back so we can go straight to shooting. I, of course, will help so you don't get too overwhelmed." Nikki looks at Paula. "Ah, you must be Mama Carlin, Al always has the nicest things to say about you." Nikki winks and Paula laughs.
"Well, I don't know why but she always goes out of her way to charm me. If I weren't a married straight woman-"
"Mom!" Spencer covers her ears and I burst out laughing. Coop blushes and grins goofily.
"Only kidding. She's too young for me anyways."
"Pft, only by a few months Paula," She winks, jokingly. "But hey cougars are hot, man." Alex shrugs playfully with a grin. Paula just shakes her head amused before leaving.
"Alex!" Spencer huffs, "Stop that, you know it weirds me out when you and my mother encourage each other." Alex laughs and waves her off.
"So, Arden looked pissed when I passed by her on my way in. Something happen?" Nikki questions as she plops herself into the chair previously sat in by Arden. Spencer and I are still snuggled up together. I place a small kiss on Spencer's cheek and she turns to look at me, I offer a smile and she grins back. Alex begins explaining her side of the story, which obviously doesn't involve the obvious ignorance of the L word, but she must have some sort of reason.
"Spence," I whisper softly to her, "I want to take you out tomorrow night. Arden and Alex will probably be at the loft tonight, I highly doubt that Arden is going to let Al sleep in her own apartment without being monitored."
She smiles softly and nods whispering back, "Got something planned for me Davies?"
"Perhaps." I muse and she giggles kissing the tip of my nose.
"Yeah, yeah, go be mushy somewhere else." Coop badgers us from her hospital bed.
"Just because you haven't gotten laid in monnnths and now you are being broken of your work addiction does not mean you can be all grumpy." Nikki teases Coop ruffling her hair. Coop just glares at her and fixes her hair, grumbling.
"She probably won't be getting laid for quite a while." We turn and see Arden leaning against the door. "Especially if she discusses it with other people." Arden smirks a bit. She seems better, but I can tell its more of an act in front of Nikki.
Alex shrugs, "Eh, what's another month or two. I could always just focus more on work." She smirks wryly and Nikki bonks her on the head. "Ow, dude, already in hospital."
"Oh, well, how convenient." Nikki gives her a pointed look. "Stop giving the concept of your work sex eyes, woman."
Alex huffs and pouts, "Did you bring the thuper thecret package anywayth?" She says in a lispy stage whisper and we can't help but smile and giggle a bit.
Nikki smiles, "'Course bossman." She winks and walks out of the room returning with a guitar case.
"Thaaank you." Alex smiles and grabs her guitar out. "So, I know you're all wondering, why did Alex bring her guitar to the hospital. Wellll, being laid up in this stupid bed gives me ideas on songs….or helped me finish a few lyrics. So," She strums her guitar a bit. "Arden, I know I have issues asking for help and I'm not totally innocent in this whole deal, we're both a little naïve in this relationship, so I wrote a little something. I dunno if it'll mean anything but I was inspired." She shrugs. Okay, who here was expecting her to declare her love through song? Anyone? Just me? Okay then.
I'm not saying its your fault
Although you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so
How could this been done
By such a smiling sweetheart.
Ohh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly world
Something so beautiful.
Ohh that every time I look inside
She sings and I find it kind of amazing that she isn't passing out right now, she's got to still be exhausted.
I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be... Well, she's still out to get me.
And I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be... She's still out to get me!
I may say it was your fault
Because i know you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart.
Ohh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly world
Something so beautiful.
That every time I look inside
I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be... Well, she's still out to get me.
And I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be... She's still out to get me!
So how could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart
You're so naive yet so
You're such an ugly thing
For someone so beautiful
That every time you're on his side
I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be... Well, she's still out to get me.
And I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking

Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to this kite
Just don't let me down
Everyone looks a little confused, how does that relate to the situation? Coop chuckles,"Uh, so okay, I lied. I just wanted to play that song." Coop grins and everyone looks confused. "I have a better song actually that I think Arden here will enjoy more and not be confused by." She shrugs and looks pleased with herself. "Hey, I had to throw you guys off somehow. So yeah, I'm not good at expressing things or feelings, so I hope you get my meaning through this song. This is truly for you Ard." She starts strumming an upbeat tune and grinning.
I'm feeling kinda strange
'Cause of all the things you say
Yeah I know, too good to believe
This probably won't work
'Cause your kind of a jerk
And for sure you're way too cool for me
She grins and winks at my little sister who is blushing quite a bit.
Yeah I'm a fool for love
'Cause I just can't give you up
I'm a fool for love
Wish I could stop, wish I could stop
I'm a fool for love
'Cause I just can't get enough
I'm a fool for love
Can't get enough, can't get enough of your
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la, yeah I'm a fool for love
Ard's eyes light up at that magic L word Al keeps repeating. Alright, who told you? Hmm? Yeah, me. Love confession through song, so Coop.
No matter how I try
Cannot plot to make you cry
So I won't take you seriously
'Cause I miss you so much
I get my panties in a bunch
Everytime your not close to me
Yeah I'm a fool for love
'Cause I just can't give you up
I'm a fool for love
Wish I could stop, wish I could stop
I'm a fool for love
'Cause I just can't get enough
I'm a fool for love
Can't get enough, can't get enough of your
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la, yeah I'm a fool for love
So just want me, say you want me
I don't know if I belong
Do you, not sure I believe but
You could prove me wrong
I'm a fool for love
Yeah I'm a fool for love
'Cause I just can't give you up
I'm a fool for love
Wish I could stop, wish I could stop
I'm a fool for love
'Cause I just can't get enough
I'm a fool for love
Can't get enough, can't get enough of your
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la, yeah I'm a fool for love
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la, yeah I'm a fool for love
La la
La la
La la
"I'm your fool, Ard. I love you." She smiles and Arden grins, launching herself into Coop who laughs and accepts the heated kiss that Arden pulls her into. Well, that's a great ending to a long, stressful and tiring couple of days. She did upstage my plans a bit, we'll see what I can pull out for Spence.
