Short chapter, I know. I will have another chapter up for you guys soon.

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

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday go by fast. Spencer has been hanging around Aiden and Spencer and Ashley have been avoiding each other. Every time they would come close to each other, Spencer would turn shyly away and avoid eye contact. Ashley would have a stone face and try to look like she didn't care when really she cared. While the blonde was away, Ashley had been hanging around Josie. Josie did not transfer schools to Josie's dismay but they hanged out after. Josie is making Ashley really edgy and party hard drink hard girl. The way Ashley use to be before she ever met Spencer. The old Ashley is slowly surfacing after every drink she swallows down.

To Ashley's dismay, Spencer has been hanging out with Aiden a lot. Getting closer and closer to the point where people were thinking they were a couple. Even Ashley. A part of her knew it was false but another part of her wasn't so sure. What if Spencer did have feelings for Aiden? At this point, she didn't know what to do. All there was, was Josie.

On Wednesday, Spencer made it official. She is Aiden's girlfriend now. She didn't know what she was doing when she finally agreed to it. Aiden is a great guy and all but she still wasn't feeling like she thought she should be. Spencer convinced herself that she had to do this. When really she was just hiding. Being what her mom and everyone else wants her to be, to have.

Spencer, Glen, and Clay only went to half their classes on Thursday, so they can make sure they don't miss anything important on Friday, their mom's order.

Towards the end of the school day, Ashley starts to notice that Spencer has been missing for about two class periods. That is not at all like Spencer. The brunette decides to find out where she is. The two may not be talking but that didn't mean she didn't care.

Walking through the hallway, Ashley catches up to Aiden.

Ashley: "Hey Aiden. Where is your Girlfriend?"

Aiden: "Why don't you just say her name?"

Ashley: "Who's name? Your girlfriend's name?"

Aiden: "Why are you acting like that?"

Ashley: "Like what?"

Aiden: "Like you and Spencer hate each other."

Ashley: "Don't worry about it."

Aiden: "You don't hate Spencer."

Ashley: "How would you know?"

Aiden: "Ashley I may be a guy but I'm not stupid. I can see it in you guys' eyes. You guys don't want to talk to each other because you guys are avoiding talking about something. You guys are just giving each other the cold shoulder but you don't hate each other."

Ashley: "Whatever Aiden. So where is she?"

Aiden: "She left."

Ashley: "Where?"

Aiden: "Well if you guys were talking and not be soo hard headed and trying to avoid each other, you would know."

Ashley: "Enough Dr. Phil. I've been through enough shrinks and all that crap. Just answer my simple question so I can go. I'm suppose to meet Josie at my house."

Aiden laughs to himself and shakes his head.

Aiden: "Back to Ohio."

Ashley: "And she didn't say good bye to me?"

Aiden: "I think she might have if you two weren't avoiding each other for the past couple of days. She will be back later next week."

Ashley: "Bullshit. She didn't care enough to say good bye to me." I can't believe she didn't say good bye…

Meanwhile at the Carlin residence, Spencer is upstairs on her computer and her mother is downstairs.

Mom-yelling upstairs-: "Spencer are you almost ready?"

Spencer: "Yeah mom, almost."

On the computer, Spencer is typing an email to Ashley. She didn't get a chance to say good bye to her and she felt bad. She tried looking for the brunette a couple minutes before she left but she didn't find her. So the next best thing was to send an email. Well a phone call would be better but Ashley is in school and probably in class. A couple minutes later, Spencer sends the message.

Spencer: "Glen!"

Glen shows up at her bedroom door.

Glen: "Yeah?"

Spencer: "Do you think you can drive me by somewhere?"

Glen: "Where?"

Spencer: "To Ashley's"

Glen: "Why?"

Spencer: "I want to drop off her Christmas present."

Glen: "Alright. Let's Go."

The car ride was quiet and peaceful. Spencer and Glen arrive at Ashley's empty driveway. The brunette's house looks like it always does. There was not one Christmas light up.

Glen: "She is probably still at school."

Spencer: "I know. I was just going to tape it to the door."

Spencer gets out of the car and tapes the present to Ashley's door. Nothing says merry Christmas than a present at the door. Stepping back, Spencer admires her handy work and hope the tape holds the blue present up on the door. Satisfied, Spencer gets back into the car.

Glen: "I must say that is the most colorful thing on her house. Her parents didn't even put up any lights up."

Spencer: "Her parents are never around."

Glen: "Oh."

Glen and Spencer drive away. Suddenly Josie pulls up and she saw Spencer tape the present to the door. Josie gets out of her car, walk up to the door and looks at the present.
