Okay I suck because that I haven't updated in awhile, I'm sorry about that I have a new shift at work and I'm still trying to get used to it. Also this is a pretty short chapter. Also if you weren't able to tell I'm really struggling with this now. I know where I want to go its just figuring out how to get there. Thanks for all of you how have added this to your favorites or how have subscribed to it. I really does mean a lot and makes me want to continue this. I want to send a huge thank you to River without her encouragement and letting me bounce ideas off of her this would have been dead long ago.

Shane you rock for just being you and letting me whine to you at times.


Spencer just dropped me off at home. I really enjoyed the trip with her but its great to be home, and sleeping in my own bed. As soon walked into my condo all I see is brown hair running at me, next thing I know I'm down on the ground feeling the air being squeezed out of my lungs.

"Oh Ashley I've missed you so much" I finally hear Kyla say.

"Okay Ky I really sort of need to breathe here" I tell her with a big smile on my face.

Kyla slow gets up and the helps me out and wraps me into another hug "I am so glad your back. So tell me all about the trip" she asked

"I missed you too Kyla, but I am really beat, how about you give Madison a call and have her met us for breakfast in the morning and I'll tell you both at the same time. Would that be okay with you?" I finished it off with a big yawn. I didn't even wait for an answer I just went straight to bed.

Even though I was exhausted when I got into bed I could not fall asleep, if I did it was only like 30 minutes at a time. I spent most of the night tossing and turning. I would like to say that I don't know why I couldn't sleep but I would be lying. I really just need to have some patience here.

I finally decided that I'm not going to be able to sleep any more. I look over at my alarm clock and see that it is just about five o'clock; I roll out of bed and throw on a pair of shorts a tank and my trusted running shoes.

I have my ear buds in and I'm just running. For the first time in a week my thoughts are not totally consumed by a certain blue eyed goddess. I run a good five or six miles which feels really good since I wasn't doing my morning runs while on the way back here. I get home and slip into a nice streaming shower to get ready to face Kyla and Madison.

So I am sitting here eating breakfast, while Kyla and Madison play twenty questions with me about the trip. Of course I had to tell them about the fine meals we had at Cracker Barrel. I am already plotting a trip somewhere just so I can get their breakfast sandwich again. I know that might seem crazy but really it's that good.

So I answer most of their questions however I did leave out the kiss. That is just something that they don't need to know about right now. It really was good to met up with both of them, don't tell anyone but I really did miss them.

"Oh hey guys before I forget, if you don't have any plans tonight Carmen invited us all to go out." I say

"That sounds like fun Ashley, but how is everyone?" Madison asked looking somewhat skeptical.

"Well you guys, Spencer and her brother Clay, Aiden and Carmen. Carmen called Spencer the other day and she let Spencer know that the bastard was getting out early. Oh that reminds me I need to give Aiden a call and find out if he has severed Tom yet" I tell them. They both look at me like I grew another head.

"I don't understand what you're talking about Ashley, what is Aiden serving Tom with? Did Aiden get a new job in the past week? "Kyla asked.

Both Madison and I just laughing, it took us both a few minutes to regain our composure. "No Ky Aiden did not get a new job. Aiden is going to serve Tom with Restraining order for Spencer and Clay. I guess Tom started harass Clay at home so just to make sure they are both safe Carmen arranged for the protection orders. So that way if Tom gets within 100 feet of either one of them, we can arrest him and with that it would also be breaking his probation he will go back to jail and hopefully serve his full sentence." I explained you my sister.

"Oh so that is a really good thing then?" asked Kyla still somewhat confused.

"Kyla that can be a good and bad thing, the good would be that Tom gets sent to jail. The bad would be that he could possible hurt Spencer or Clay." Madison jumped in.

Kyla looked very concerned about this new information. "Ash you wouldn't let that happen would you? I mean I know you really can't control his actions but you're going to try right?" she asked me.

"I'm pretty sure that we all know that I would rather die then have anything happen to Spencer." I replied

"Okay well let's get our party on, and celebrate Spencer's move back to California" Madison said.
