Longer chapter.
Party time! Thanks to all the people that left a review.
----------------
Tonight was the night of the party. Ashley is sitting on her bed eating a bowl full of ice cream and is listening to the radio.
Ashley: I can't take it anymore. I need to talk to Spencer. I need to at least see her. I know she is just trying to listen to her mom. I know she has feeling for me. I need to know for sure. I can't sit around and do anything anymore.
Finally making her decision, Ashley gets up, grabs her purse and gets into her car. Tonight was the night to set everything back to the way it was. Or maybe with a little luck, even better.
Spencer quickly gets ready for the party. Hopefully with a little luck she will be able to get Ashley out of her head. Hopefully. The brunette has been in her mind and would not leave. The doorbell rings. Spencer checks herself in the mirror. Satisfied with what she sees she goes downstairs to get the door.
Spencer: "I got it."
Spencer reaches the door and opens it. There Aiden stood on her doorstep. He was wearing a black buttoned shirt with jeans. He looked rather handsome.
Aiden: "Hey Spence. You ready?"
Spencer: "Yeah just a sec. I need to grab something."
Spencer lets Aiden in and runs upstairs. She forgot something. Why was she so nervous? It was just Aiden. While Spencer looks for something upstairs, Spencer's mom enters the entryway where Aiden is waiting.
Aiden: "Hello Mrs. Carlin."
SM: "Hello. You must be Aiden"
Aiden: "Yes ma'am"
SM: "So where are you taking Spencer?"
Aiden: "We are going to a party."
SM: "Oh. A date?" Please say yes
Aiden: "Uhmm, no." Well not yet.
SM: "Oh" darn. Well at least Ashley is no where in site.
SM: "Is Ashley meeting you two there?"
Aiden: "No. She said she couldn't make it."
SM: "Oh." Praise the lord.
Spencer finally makes her way downstairs.
Spencer: "Alright let's go."
SM: "Have fun and don't be out to late. And NO drinking Spencer."
Spencer: "Okay mom."
Spencer and Aiden say their goodbyes and head to the party.
Aiden and Spencer arrive at the party. The party is full of people, having fun, dancing and drinking drinks that they were not old enough to buy let alone drink. Spencer and Aiden enter the house. The inside the house was hot. A million different senses hit Spencer. The smell of sweat, alcohol, food, etc. Aiden leads Spencer to an empty spot near the wall.
Aiden was happy to be at the party with Spencer and Spencer only. Maybe if he got lucky, at the end of the night he could get a good night kiss. Aiden turns and faces Spencer.
Aiden: "Do want a drink?"
Spencer who was scanning the house looks at Aiden.
Aiden: "Not alcohol."
Spencer: "Okay."
Aiden goes off and gets her a drink. Leaving Spencer at her lonesome, Spencer starts bobbing her head to the music. To tell the truth, Spencer was never really comfortable being left behind, especially when she doesn't see a familiar face. It made her feel uneasy and vulnerable. Of course, she tries her best to hide it.
A couple seconds pass and a guy, who is clearly drunk, comes up to Spencer.
Guy: "Hey beautiful. Did you come here alone?"
Spencer: "Nope. I came here with Aiden."
Spencer did not want to seem rude by not talking to the guy but what was she suppose to do, Aiden disappeared into the crowd. The guy is a little bit older than she was and his sandy blonde hair fell in front of his eyes. His eyes were red from the alcohol he consumed early that night.
Guy: "That fool? You can do much better than him. He's a man whore."
The guy takes a step closer to Spencer. He was close enough that Spencer can smell the alcohol in his breath. She hated that smell and to add to her problems, the guy was clearly into her. Spencer takes a step back, hoping to keep the distance between them. The last thing she wanted was for him to try something.
Guy: "Yeah. You know there is this 7 minutes in heaven in the closet. Would you like to join me?"
Spencer: "Uhhmm, no thanks." not in a million years…ew. This fool seriously needs to leave.
Guy: "Aww come on. You know you want to."
The fool put his hand on Spencer's back and pulls her towards her and tries to kiss her. Spencer archs her back so keep her lips and his lips as far apart as possible. She did not want to kiss him. That would be the last things she wanted to do. The guy wasn't even cute and even if he was cute, she wouldn't of wanted to kiss him. He was drunk for god's sake.
Spencer: "Ew. NO!"
Spencer tries to get out of the Guy's arms, but the guy wouldn't let go. He was stronger than she was. Not hearing Spencer's 'No', he wraps his other arm around Spencer to bring her closer. Spencer desperately tries to push him away but he was too strong. Luckily, Aiden shows up behind the guy. Aiden soft eyes harden to what he is seeing. He saw the guy put her arms around Spencer from the refreshment table which caused him to rush back to Spencer's side.
Aiden: "Is there a problem here!"
The Guy turns around but doesn't let go of Spencer.
Guy: "Uhh no problem here man. We are just trying to have some fun."
Spencer: "Speak for yourself. Let go of me."
Spencer struggles and the Guy violently pushes Spencer's back against the wall. The push was so strong that the wall shook with the impact of Spencer's body.
Aiden: "HEY!"
Aiden grabs the Guy's arm and rips it off of Spencer body. He has had enough. Aiden turns the guy to face him and swings a left punch to the Guy's face. The face to fist impact was soo strong that the guy fell down like a sack of potatoes. The guy was clearly knocked out. Aiden takes his attention off of the blonde guy to the blonde girl he came to the party with.
Aiden: "Are you alright?"
Spencer: "Yeah thanks. You're my hero right now."
Aiden: "Your welcome pretty lady, it's what the job entitles me to do."
They both smile at each other. Spencer was so thankful Aiden came when he did. She didn't know what she would do if he didn't. Aiden feeling proud of himself, leans in and kisses Spencer on the cheek. Spencer blushes at his show of affection.
Aiden: "Now let's enjoy the party."
Aiden gives Spencer a cup of coca cola that has been in his right hand the whole time.
Aiden: "Here you go."
Aiden looks around and sees people dancing in the backyard. That gives him an idea. What better way to get close to Spencer with out looking too forward.
Aiden: "Hey come on."
Aiden grabs Spencer's hand and leads her to the backyard and the pretend dance floor. Spencer puts down her drink on the snack table and starts dancing with Aiden. The dance floor was crowded with teens dancing. The longer they danced the closer Spencer and Aiden got.
Spencer: Aiden has some moves and he is so cute. But can he replace Ashley? What am I doing? I need to forget about Ashley. She moved on and I should too.
10 minutes of dancing passes and Spencer gets thirsty.
Spencer: "I'll be right back."
Spencer leaves Aiden on the dance floor and 2 other girls take her spot. Spencer goes to her drink that still stood at the snack table and drinks some.
Spencer: this tastes different.
Spencer doesn't think too much about the different taste but drinks the whole cup. After drinking the whole cup, Spencer starts to feel a little disoriented. She didn't care however. Whatever works. Her mind was off Ashley.
Spencer: whoa I need more coke
Spencer goes inside and walks over to the refreshment table. On her way there, she bumps into a couple of people she could of clearly missed if she could walk straight and coordinated. Her legs and arms feel heavy. The room slowly starts swaying left and right.
Spencer: I feel really dizzy and tired, I need a drink.
Suddenly someone hands Spencer a drink. Without thinking Spencer takes the drink and walks off.
Spencer: "Uhm thanks."
Spencer drinks the drink and can barely keep her eyes open.
Spencer: Is the room suppose to be spinning? I need to sit down.
Spencer sits down on the couch in the living room where people were drinking, smoking and playing video games. Spencer tries to keep her eyes open but they are getting extremely heavy and she is getting a headache. 10 minutes pass and Spencer has her arm on the arm chair and her head in her hand barely awake. Someone comes up and grabs Spencer and put her arm over his shoulder and helps her walk through the party. At this time Ashley arrives at the party looking for Spencer. Ashley sees Spencer and this guy helping her up the stairs.
Ashley: its now or never "Spencer!"
Ashley catches up to them at the stairs. Not noticing Spencer condition and what is going on, Ashley tries to talk to Spencer.
Ashley: "Spencer I need to talk to.."
Ashley stops and sees what state Spencer is in. Concern immediately comes to Ashley. Spencer didn't look so well. She was sweating, her eyes were barely open and a little bit of her mascara was running.
Ashley: "Spencer, Are you okay?"
Before Spencer can reply the guy stops her and faces the girl who was about to ruin his little fun that he had planned.
Guy: "She is fine. Don't worry I'll take care of her."
Ashley gives him a hard look. She wasn't buying it. She doesn't even know him.
Ashley: "And who are you?"
Guy: "Her boyfriend."
Ashley: "Oh."
Ashley pretends to turns to go downstairs and turns back around. She knows for a fact that Spencer doesn't have a boyfriend and was not about to leave Spencer there. Over her dead body. She was not about to let anything happen to her.
Ashley: "Yeah right. Do I look like a moron? Spencer doesn't have a boyfriend and if she would have one right now. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be you."
Guy: "Who are you to talk? Leave us alone."
The guy takes Spencer up a couple more steps trying to get away from the now angry brunette.
Ashley runs in front of him and blocks the path leading upstairs.
Ashley: "Do I look like an idiot! What did you do to her!"
Guy: "Nothing. She just had too much to drink."
Ashley: "Bullshit! She doesn't like drinking."
It finally dawns on Ashley.
Ashley: "What did you give her?"
Guy: "Nothing harmful, don't worry. Now excuse me."
Ashley takes Spencer away from him and when he tried to grab her back she kicked him where it hurts the most and the guy went falling down the stairs. Ashley puts Spencer's arms around her neck to support her.
Ashley: "Spencer talk to me."
Spencer: "Ashley, hey."
Ashley: "Are you okay?"
Spencer: "I don't feel so good."
Ashley: "Don't worry I'll take care of you."
Ashley helps Spencer downstairs when Ashley sees Aiden dancing with some girl, totally oblivious to Spencer's state. Ashley shakes her head and takes Spencer to her car. She will take care of Spencer. Truthfully, she wouldn't have it any other way.
