Author's notes: Sorry for the wait you guys…had some stuff to take care of in reality…sigh got summer school...so my updates might take longer...but I will hopefully keep this story going. Thanx for all the wonderful reviews! Here's chapter 11:

I'm Sorry

"Spencer?" Paula reiterates.

"Uh…mom…" Spencer starts.

"Home NOW!"

"Uh…mom, I moved out remember?" Spencer retorts.

"I don't care, I don't have any kind of paperwork so I want you home NOW!" Paula hangs up after the word.

Spencer turns to Ashley; she just looks at her with a frown on her face.

"What?" Ashley asks.

"Can you take me home?" Spencer tells her.

"Sure did you leave something?"

"No, I meant my home."

"What for?"

"Ashley don't question me just take me home."

Ashley is speechless, she's never seen Spencer this upset before. I mean she has been upset before…but not this upset. So she just grabs their things and she follows Spencer back to her car without a word. The ride to Spencer's "house" was extremely quiet. It was deafening, Ashley looked over at Spencer who seemed to stare out the window the whole time.

"Spence…" Ashley starts.

"Ash, don't." Spencer interrupts her.

"But…"

"Just don't okay?"

"Fine, I'm just trying to help."

After that Ashley didn't feel like talking anymore, she wasn't about to get into an argument with Spencer over her mom. They finally get to Spencer's house and Paula is standing out front with her arms crossed. Ashley unlocks the door and Spencer is getting out when…

"Go ahead and run to mommy dearest, she'll take care of you, but count me out." Ashley says.

"Are you breaking up with me?" Spencer asks.

"No, maybe you just need some time to figure out your life."

And with that last statement, Spencer just closes the door and watches Ashley drive off. Paula walks up to Spencer.

"Spencer Marie Carlin, where were you?" Paula says angered.

Spencer knew she couldn't lie because she knew her mom had gone by the school, that's the only way she would've known.

"I was at the beach, with…"

"Ashley, I know. I knew she was a bad influence on you, and now she's got you skipping school?"

"She doesn't have me doing anything mom, I did it myself. I can make my own decisions!" Spencer yells back.

"That's it. I'm getting a restraining order."

"A what?"

"You heard me, looks like I'm going to have to bring legal matters into this."

"Didn't you try that already mom? NEWS FLASH: it didn't work!"

"It will this time, just wait." Paula makes her way back into the house.

"You can't make me sign it!" Spencer yells as Paula slams the door.

Spencer is now in tears, yes maybe Ashley is mad at her at the moment, but they still love each other. She couldn't imagine being without Ashley for more than a day, let alone a week. She needed someone to talk to. Ashley probably wouldn't answer, her brothers would only tell her to listen to their mom, Aiden wouldn't listen, all he'd think about was getting into her pants.

"Dad." Spencer says to herself.

She gets her cell phone out of her purse, flips it open and calls her dad. The phone rings slowly.

"Hi…"

"Dad, I really need to talk to you…"

"I'm not answering my phone right now, leave a message and I'll…"

Spencer hangs up…her dad wasn't even there for her this time. She was hopeless, maybe she should just end it with Ashley, just to get her family back in order. She had to do something to escape this pain. She opens her phone once again and dials Ashley's number. Ashley sees it's Spencer but doesn't want to answer, but she has to apologize. She picks up.

"Hey Spence." Ashley sniffs. She had been crying too, she felt bad for treating Spencer horribly. She couldn't stay mad at her angel.

"Ashley, we need to talk." Spencer says.

"Yeah, we do."

"Can you come pick me up?" Spencer asks.

"Sure, I'll be there in ten."

They hang up at the same time. Spencer is nervous; she doesn't know whether to follow her heart or her mind. Ashley has always told her to follow her heart, but all Spence could think about was her family. Ashley comes 15 mins…five minutes late. Spencer notices, Ashley gets out of the car with a hand behind her back.

"You're late." Spencer says.

"I know, I ran by to get these." Ashley says as she pulls a bouquet of white roses.

"Oh my god, Ashley, they're my favorite!" Spencer screams happily as she pulls Ashley into a hug.

Ashley pulls back, "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything I said okay. And I'm sorry, I can't stay mad at you sweetie. I love you Spencer and I never want to lose you. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Now what did you want to talk about?" Ashley says.

"Uhhh…" Spencer starts.
