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 tried to forget Ashley, for her parents' sake. But Ashley refused to accept that. Her desperate efforts to get Spencer back in her life.

-------------------

"Ok, Lily, you are never allowed in my house again, understand?" Ashley reminded the purple haired girl as Spencer waited in her car; Lily was to take her home.

Lily, well Lily had made a little bit of trouble at the Davies residence, matters I won't go in to detail with. Let's just say it involved the older Ms. Davies and Lily saying 'Dude! Your mom's hot!' and then a lot of awkward crap. You want details, e-mail me.

"Yes ma'am." Lily muttered, her head hung low. "I understand."

"Good, now take Spence straight home ok?" Ashley ordered.

"Straight?" Lily questioned, "How do I make her straight if she's dating you?" Lily couldn't quite hide the growing smirk on her face anymore.

"Lily! That's not what I meant!" Ashley scolded, trying not to laugh, but it was just so hard!

"Oh…" Lily nodded, "You meant take her directly home. I got ya."

"Yes, that's what I meant, ok? Can you handle that?" Ashley asked, smiling as Lily backed off her front porch and headed to her car.

"Yeah, no biggie." Lily shrugged, hands diving deep into her pockets, "You can count on me, Ms. Davies." Lily saluted, smiling widely as she opened the car door and climbed in.

"Thanks! Bye Spence! I love you!" Ashley called after their retreating vehicle. She sighed once they were gone, shaking her head as she headed back into her lonely mansion.

With Spencer and Lily…

"So…" Lily drawled, glancing over at her passive passenger. (A/N: Dude! Alliteration! Take that Mrs. Davis! I does knows English!)

"So what?" Spencer asked, looking at Lily strangely.

"What? Huh? Oh you're supposed to go 'yeah…' Spencer, you messed it all up." Lily shook her head, sighing exasperatedly.

"Oh jeez, sorrrrry." Spencer muttered, trying to hide her laughter at the purple haired girl.

Lily let out another sigh, this one was heavier but it morphed into a groan as she heard her cell phone ringing. "Ugh, hey, what's up?" Lily asked, flipping the phone open.

"Lily? Is Spencer home yet?" Ashley asked impatiently. Jeez, she never got a break.

"Jeez, almost! C'mon, Davies, we just left." Lily sighed, shaking her head as Ashley ranted. Lily turned to Spencer, her hand imitating Ashley's yapping.

Spencer covered her mouth, trying to stifle her laughter.

"Are you making fun of me?" Ashley demanded so loud that even Spencer heard her.

"No, no! Of course not!" Lily lied, glancing at the blonde, her purple eyes wide, "No, Spencer's not laughing right now. What's she doing? She's uh…She's coughing, yeah, she's fine, just a tickle in her throat." Lily glanced nervously at Spencer, making a cut-throat signal with her hand.

"Sorry." Spencer whispered, clearly not sorry.

"Yeah, you can talk to her." Lily sighed again. She passed Spencer the phone, shaking her head as she turned back to the road, smiling when she heard Spencer answer.

"Hey baby!" Spencer cooed excitedly, "I miss you."

"I miss you too." Ashley whispered, and both Spencer and Lily knew the brunette was blushing.

"So, are you gonna keep yelling at Lily or are you gonna be nice to her now?" Spencer asked. "She's behaving herself, I swear."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Ashley groaned, "Look, I still remember, maybe a little too well, what happened earlier, and seriously Spence, I can not deal with that. It was sooo wrong." Ashley shivered. "Just…Ew."

"She says she's sorry." Spencer said sheepishly, giving Lily a shrug as she played mediator.

"Really, really sorry!" Lily yelled to the phone.

"Save it perv!" Ashley yelled back.

"Waah!" Lily cried, looking at Spencer desperately. "Spencer!"

"I'm trying Lil, but…Oh hey, we're here." Spencer smiled and climbed out of the car.

"You're home?" Ashley asked, barely containing her relief.

"Yeah, I'll call you later Ash." Spencer smiled and passed the purple haired girl back her phone.

"Hey Davies." Lily smiled as she put the phone to her ear but all she heard was the dial tone, "Dude! She hung up on me!"

Spencer shrugged as she walked backwards back to her house, waving at the older girl.

Lily saw the front door open and out stepped Mrs. Carlin, "Dude! Your mom too?"

"Lily!" Spencer scolded, blue eyes wide as she stared in horror at the purple haired girl. "Stop that!"

"Sorry, I can't help it when it's true!" Lily yelled back, blushing as Mrs. Carlin stepped up to the car, smiling.

"Hello." Mrs. Carlin smiled, reaching out a hand for Lily to shake. "It's nice to meet you…I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name."

"It's Lily." The purple haired girl blushed, reaching a hand out to shake the older blonde's. "You must be Mrs. Carlin, I've heard so much about you…" Note: She didn't say whether what she heard was good or bad.

"Yes, I'm Paula Carlin." Paula said, blushing slightly. She wasn't used to someone, especially, someone as…Odd as Lily being so polite. "Lily?"

"Yeah, weird name?" Lily asked, smiling.

"No, it's pretty." Paula smiled, "Well, I guess you better get going home, your parents must be worried."

"Oh no, I don't live with my parents, I don't even know them." Lily shrugged.

"Really? I'm so sorry!" Paula cried, "Please, come in." Paula said, opening the car door and pulling the girl out.

"Mom?" Spencer asked, eyebrows raised in confusion.

"Oh, you act like I never want to see your friends Spence." Paula smiled as she lead the purple haired girl toward the house. (A/N: Cough -Ashley- cough!)

Inside the Carlin residence…

"Hey, I'm Lily; it's nice to meet you." Lily said, smiling at all the members of the Carlin family.

"Well, hello to you too, pretty thing." The curly haired blonde boy said, sliding up to her and throwing an arm over her shoulder.

"Ha-ha, not interested, sorry." Lily said, sliding the arm off her shoulder and moving closer to Spencer.

"Glenn, leave her alone." Spencer grumbled, smacking the side of her brother's blonde head.

"It's nice to meet you Lily." The African American boy stepped forward, "I'm Clay."

"Hey Clay, I heard you're the cool brother." Lily smiled and was rewarded with a laugh from the family.

"Hey what?" Glenn asked stupidly, just then realizing what they were laughing at.

"Well it's true." Clay said, giving Lily a pat on the shoulder. Spencer nodded her accord.

Glenn grunted and left the room, heading for the stairs and escaping to his room.

"Aw poor guy." Spencer muttered, "He's not used to getting shot down by any girls."

"Well he should be, I mean, what about Ashley?" Lily asked, knowing she was hitting an awkward topic.

"So…Lily?" The older man, Mr. Carlin, spoke up finally, "My wife tells me you live alone?"

"Yeah, I don't know my parents; the place I grew up in is paying for my apartment." Lily explained.

"Oh, well you see I work for a social service office, I can help you find them if you want me to?" Mr. Carlin suggested.

"Oh no thank you Mr. Carlin, I don't mind." Lily smiled sadly.

"You can call me Arthur." Mr. Carlin smiled, shaking Lily's hand, "It's nice to meet you."

"So, would you like to stay for dinner Lily?" Paula asked, smiling at the purple haired girl.

"Really? It wouldn't be a problem would it?" Lily asked, concern gracing her features.

"Lil, if my mom offers, it's not a problem." Spencer said, smiling as she led the stunned girl into the kitchen.
