A/N: Okay I'm am sorry for the lack of updates…school is about to start in like a frickin week and I have no time to type my story…I see I'm not getting too many reviews either. But I understand. But I will make it up to you by posting this awesome chapter…lol D Well…here it is:

Bad News

Arthur walks up to the cell as the guard is unlocking it.

"Arthur?" Paula says as she stands up. The guard opens the door and she walks out to hug Arthur. He pushes her off of him. "What's wrong with you?" she says.

"Paula what's wrong with you?" Arthur replies.

"What are you talking about?"

"You and your playmate Ben caused Spencer and Ashley's accident!" he says in a harsh whisper.

"That was Ben's fault."

"But you were responsible in some way." Arthur says, "But there's no need to yell at you for it, you'll get the worst when you have to tell Spencer it was you." He walks out of the room and heads outside. Paula frowns and follows behind.

Back at the hospital

Aiden and Alex are heading back up the elevator they get to Spencer's floor and as the elevator doors open Ashley is standing there.

"Ash? What are you-" Aiden starts.

"Geez, I thought I was gunna have to put out a missing persons alert. What took so long?" Ashley questions the two shocked boys.

"We just went for a walk." Alex answers for a still stunned Aiden.

"A walk, whatever…I'm going back to Spencer, I told her I wouldn't be long." Ashley says as she walks back towards Spencer's room.

"Where were they?" Spencer questions.

"Lets just say the did a little 'talking' about a certain subject." Ashley answers.

"Is Aiden gay?" Spencer questions her brown-haired beauty.

"I don't know, it would explain a lot about him though."

"It really would."

Ashley kisses Spencer's forehead, another doctor walks in.

"Spencer Carlin?" He says.

"Yes?" Spencer answers him.

"I'm Dr. Narigee; I'm filling in for your previous doctor. The results are back from your C.A.T. scan, you're clear. You may go home today, or tomorrow if you like."

"Oh my goodness, that's great Spence." Ashley says ecstatic. "But wait…I packed all those clothes for nothing?"

"Oh, it definitely wasn't for nothing." Spencer replies. The doctor unhooks all of the machines from Spencer and bandages her up. Ashley packs all of their things up and the head to the front desk.

"Where are Aiden and Alex?" Ashley questions.

"I have no idea." After Spencer and Ashley check her out, they make their way to the elevator. They're patiently waiting outside as the elevator finally stops on their floor. The doors open and Alex is closing in on Aiden trying to kiss him, Aiden leans in too…

"Hey! Get a room!" Ashley yells. Aiden and Alex look up at the same time.

"It's not what it…" Aiden starts.

"I've heard that before." Spencer finishes.

"It's okay Aiden, everyone has to find their true self…like Spencer."

"That's true." Spencer kisses Ashley gently on the cheek.

"Spencer, I wouldn't do that right now." Ashley says with a smirk on her face.

"Why not?" Spencer questions but then realizes Ashley smirk. "Oh right."

"Come on, lets go home." Aiden says. (To Alex) "So is this goodbye?"

Alex kisses Aiden, "No, its definitely see you later." Alex walks out of the elevator as Ashley and Spencer giggle in the corner of the elevator.

"What?" Aiden asks.

"Nothing." The two say at the same time. Aiden pushes the button for the first floor. "I should call your dad and tell him we're on our way home." Ashley tells Spencer.

"Okay."

Ashley flips open her cell and calls Arthur.

"Hello." The man says on the other end.

"Hey Mr. C, it's Ashley, they let Spencer leave today. We're on our way home now."

"Oh that's great, but hey can you do me a small favor?"

"Sure."

"Can you bring Spencer by the house for a second?"

"No problem, we're on our way." Ashley hangs up and tells Spencer what they are doing.

Back at the Carlin Household

Glen and Clay are playing video games in the living room. "Oh take that loser!" Glen taunts his brother.

"Ooh, you are so cheating!" Clay replies.

"Am not!"

Paula is in the kitchen cooking dinner, Arthur walks up behind her…not to touch her…but to let her know he's there.

"Why are you still here?" Paula stops her current task and turns to Arthur.

"Because you are about to receive the worst thing in your life and I just want to help you through it." Arthur replies.

"I don't need your help."

"Okay, I'm still going to stay." Arthur says as he walks out and into the living room with the boys.

10 minutes later

"I'm here!" Spencer yells into the house.

"We're in here Spence!" Arthur yells back. "Join us for dinner!" Spencer walks in holding Ashley hand and Aiden isn't far behind.

"Oh we're not staying long, why'd you want me to stop by?"

"Paula." Arthur quietly says.

"Spencer, why don't you join us?" Paula says nervously.

"I don't have time!" Spencer says raising her voice. "What do you want?"

"Geez Spencer, has dating her turned you into this?" Glen states. Ashley makes a face at him and Spencer hits him on the arm. "Shut up Glen. Can I go home?"

"This is your home. Uhm…not exactly." Paula starts. "We need to talk."

"About what? If it doesn't have anything to do with me or Ashley I don't care."

"But it does." Arthur says.

"What?" Spencer says now concerned.

"Paula." Arthur says once again.

"Spencer, honey, its about the accident."

"I'm not about to talk about this, come on Ash, lets go." Spencer begins to turn and leave.

"But you can't, I know who caused the accident!" Paula yells.

"You do?" Ashley stops.

"Yes…that morning, Ben and I we're driving in the car…on Orlando Ave…we didn't know…" Spencer knew where this was going…the tears we're slowly filling her eyes. "And we didn't notice, it happened so fast…"

"Mom…" Spencer starts. "Did you cause the accident?"

"I'm so sorry honey…" Paula says as she stands up and tries to touch Spencer, but she backs away.

"Get away from me…" Spencer silently burst into tears as Ashley held her…slightly crying too.

"Honey, I'm sorry…I"

"Sorry? Sorry is all you can say?" Ashley yells.

"Ashley I'm sure it was a mistake…" Glen tries to help the situation.

"Shut the hell up Glen. (To Paula) You could've killed her! You almost took her away from me! You had your grudge against me because you thought I was the bad guy…it was you all along…" Ashley leads Spencer to the couch, as they hold each other and continue to cry.

R&R PLEASE!
