For Your Sake
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Do you honestly think if I owned this show, I would be writing FanFic for it? No, I didn't think so. So no, I don't own S.O.N, Tom Lynch does. I love that guy!
Summary: Spencer wants to forget Ashley, for her parents and family's sake. But what about Ashley? Will she really give up? Will Spencer learn to follow her heart?
-------------------
Later on that evening…
DING! DONG!
Lily jumped up from her couch, nearly knocking over her white German Shepard, Kai, as she did so, "Jesus! Oh sorry Kai." She apologized, patting the big dog on the back.
Finally she reached the door, yanking it open, "Hey!" She smiled widely at the three gathered outside her door. She grabbed Kai's collar, a feeble attempt to keep the dog in her apartment. "C'mon in!"
The three wandered in, all looking as though they didn't really want to be here.
"Well, gee, you guys, don't be too excited about being here…" Lily grumbled, closing the door and releasing her hold on Kai.
Kai bounded over to Spencer, nearly knocking the poor blonde over. "Oh hi, baby!" Spencer cooed, rubbing the dog around its furry neck. "And what's your name sweetie?"
"Her name's Kai." Lily smiled, plopping down on the worn-out arm chair. "And Demon's around here somewhere…" She glanced around the living room of her apartment. "I dunno." She shrugged.
"Who's Demon?" Ashley asked nervously looking around the room.
"Demon's my cat. He's here somewhere." Lily smiled, "He's black as night, with vibrant green eyes. That's how you spot him first." Lily let out a light chuckle, "Don't be scared Aiden."
"Huh? Oh no, I'm not scared of a cat…Whoa! What the hell is that?" Aiden yelped, pointing to the staircase next to the kitchen.
"Oh! I forgot about him." Lily laughed, rolling out of her seat and walking over to the glass cage, taking off the mesh lid, "This is my emerald tree boa, Ozzy." She held up the thick, green snake.
"Y-you have a s-snake?" Aiden asked, voice shaking as he pointed at the snake Lily held in her hands.
"Yep. He was a gift." Lily smiled wide, "You wanna hold him?"
"NO!" Aiden roared, jumping backwards and stumbling into the back of the sofa, "NO WAY!"
"What? You scared of an itty bitty snakey wakey?" Lily took a step towards the dark haired boy. "Huh Aiden?"
"GET IT AWAY FROM ME!" The boy shrieked, running to the front door.
Spencer and Ashley looked at Aiden like they were just now seeing him for the first time. Then they started to crack up, falling on the couch together, laughing their heads off at him.
"What's so funny?" Aiden demanded, glaring at the giggling girls.
"You're scared of snakes?" Ashley said between her fits of laughter.
"I sooo didn't see that one coming!" Spencer laughed out, holding her sides as she lay on the couch, half on top of the brunette.
"Yeah, I mean, you're a guy, I thought you might like to meet Ozzy." Lily's smile faded at seeing Aiden run away from her.
"No, I hate snakes, they scare the crap outta me!" Aiden yelped opening the door and running out, "See ya!" And he closed the door on them.
"Well that was interesting." Lily laughed, plopping on the chair again. She still held the snake in her hands, amused as she watched him slither over her arms and around her neck.
"You can say that again." Spencer smiled, "Hey, can I hold him Lily?"
"Oh yeah, sure." Lily smiled, eager to have anyone play with her friend. She sat up and leaned over the coffee table, letting Ozzy reach out for the other extended arm.
Spencer giggled as she felt the leathery snake skin on her forearm. "Hi Ozzy." She whispered, Ozzy's tongue fluttering out to the direction of the voice, but really, the smell.
"Wow, you like snakes Spence?" Ashley asked, eyebrows arched as she found out something new about her favorite blonde.
"Well I've never met one before and I love animals so…It seems only right that I should meet Lily's snake." Spencer explained, laughing as the green boa climbed over her head, his head swaying from side to side.
Ashley smiled and continued to pet Kai contently, "So, Lily? What's on the plan for tonight?"
"Anything you want." Lily shrugged, "I didn't have a plan, so I'm making this up as I go."
"Oh great." Ashley groaned, leaning back against the couch. "Whoa! Spence, watch it."
"Sorry, he's a slippery little devil." Spencer laughed, pulling the green tree boa back onto her lap, giggling again as Ozzy weaved his way up her chest.
'Oh to be that snake right now…' Ashley whimpered in her head, watching as Ozzy maneuvered between Spencer's cleavage. "Oooh…"
"What was that Ash?" Spencer asked, hearing the brunette moan.
"What?" Ashley gulped, she hadn't meant to say anything out loud! "Oh nothing."
"Bwahahaha!" Lily took the opportunity to laugh at Ashley's expense.
"Shut up!" Ashley growled, throwing a pillow at the lavender haired girl. "No one asked you!"
This only made Lily laugh even harder at the brunette. Ashley leaned back on the sofa again but didn't lean back all the way because she heard a distinctive hissing noise. Ashley froze up and scooted closer to Spencer on the sofa, grabbing the blonde's arm.
"What is that?" She whispered, clutching Spencer's arm tighter.
"It looks like a demon…" Spencer whimpered, grabbing Ashley's head and pulling it into her neck as the 'demon' hissed again. "Eee!"
"Oh hey, you found Demon." Lily chuckled. She stood and made her way over to the frightened girls and picking up the ball of black fur. "Hey buddy." She cooed to the now splayed legged cat.
"That's Demon?" The girls demanded, Ashley pointing at the cat like it was radioactive.
"Yep, isn't he cute?" Lily cooed, giving the cat a kiss on the nose.
"He's a MONSTER!" The girls informed her, glaring at the creature.
"Hey! Watch what you say! He can understand you, you know." Lily muttered, letting the cat bury himself in her neck. "He's sweet, he just doesn't know you yet."
"Oh I'm so sure." Spencer grumbled, pushing Ashley off of her and getting up to put Ozzy away.
"He is." Lily pouted, sitting and curling up in herself on the chair. "He is, aren't you sweetie pie?" She held up the black cat and he put a paw on her nose, claws retracted.
"Ok, that is cute though." Spencer smiled, looking at the sweet display of affection between owner and pet. She turned to Ashley, "Maybe he is nice?"
"No, he's a Demon." Ashley grumbled, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Well that's true." Lily laughed, turning the cat in her hands and putting him on her head, "He's such a bad boy."
"I bet he is." The blonde and the brunette muttered.
"Didn't we already have this conversation? Let's move on." Lily smirked, turning her head slowly, due to the cat still on her head, to face the other girls.
"Ok, what do you want to talk about then?" Spencer asked, taking her seat beside Ashley again.
"Anything? Everything?" Lily suggested. "Oh, I know what I want to talk about."
"What?" Ashley and Spencer inquired.
"How about why you two won't tell each other how you feel?" Lily smiled, eyes looking deep into her friends' now wide eyes.
"What?" The both gasped.
"Yeah, tell me why you two won't tell each other how you feel about each other?" Lily pressed, lowering her head and letting Demon fall into her lap on all fours, like all cats do.
"We…I don't know…You…" Ashley stammered while Spencer blushed a cherry red.
"I don't know what Davies? Spencer?" Lily smirked, "I know everything, I know how you feel about each other. You can't hide anymore. Not in this house, this house is the secret house. You tell your secret here and it can no longer haunt you."
Both girls gulped but kept their eyes off each other.
"It can't hurt can it?" Lily asked, desperate to get the girls together finally. "You're secrets are safe with us."
