Thanks for the reviews. Enjoy.

Spencer and Ashley are sitting on her bed now. The whole car ride to Ashley's house was silent and it was really worrying Ashley.
Ashley: ((Is it the pool thing that is troubling her or is it something else?))
Spencer: "I'm going to sleep."
Spencer changes into her pajamas that she brought and Ashley goes into the closet to change into hers. Spencer comes out first, lays down on the bed and starts staring at the ceiling. Ashley walks out of the closet and sees Spencer staring at the ceiling.
Ashley: "Okay Spence what is wrong?"
Spencer: "It's nothing…"
Spencer turns to her side so she is facing away from Ashley and to the wall. Ashley runs her hand through her hair, walks over to Spencer's side of the bed and sits down on the floor so her and Spencer's head are level with each other. She needed to know.
Ashley: "Is this about what happened at the pool?"
Spencer: "No."
Ashley: "Then what is it cause your sort of freaking me out here Spence."
Spencer: "I don't want to talk about it."
Ashley: "Fine."
Ashley gently touches Spencer's cheek, leans in and slowly kisses Spencer on the cheek. Spencer pulls her face away from Ashley's.
Spencer: "Don't."
Ashley-getting frustrated-: "Oh my god. What is wrong Spencer? Talk to me. You know you can talk to me."
Spencer's eyes slowly start watering.
Spencer: "My parents are not doing so well okay. When I went inside they were arguing. There were two main topics that they kept going back on. One about this guy, Ben, and can you guess who the second topic was about?"
Ashley blinks slowly.
Ashley: "…You?"
Spencer: "Yes and frankly I do not want to be the reason my parents split okay? I don't want to make a mistake that might pull them farther apart by their different opinions."
Ashley didn't really pay attention to the rest of the sentence. The word "mistake" hung over her head.
Ashley: "Is that what I am to you? A mistake?"
Ashley gets up and Spencer sits up.
Spencer: "I-I- didn't mean it like."
Ashley: "Save it Spencer. I don't want to hear it. I heard plenty."
Ashley starts walking to her bedroom's door.
Spencer: "Ash! I didn't- Where are you going?"
Ashley: "I am getting away from you right now. I'll stay at the guest bedroom. I'll be nice and let you sleep in my bed."
Ashley walks out. Spencer gets up and walks after her, out of the room.
Spencer: "Ash I didn't mean it how it sounded."
Ashley-still walking-: "You did Spence, and right now I think you need to figure out some things and need time to yourself. So that is what I'm giving you. Your time plus space."
Spencer stops walking, processing what Ashley just said. Ashley reaches the guest bedroom down the hall, walks in and closes the door behind her. Spencer looks down at her feet and closes her eyes.
Spencer: ((Great Spencer, you see what you just did. What the hell do I want? Ash or mother's happiness that may help keep the parents together?))
All Spencer knew was her heart was aching when Ashley shut that door. Shutting her out.
Spencer walks over to the door, leans against it and starts talking through the door.
Spencer: "Ash?"
Ashley doesn't respond.
Spencer: "Listen. I'm sorry okay? What I said didn't come out right- I mean-I don't regret-I mean but-((Just shut up Spencer, you have no clue what you're saying anymore.))
Spencer sighs heavily.
Spencer: "I don't know how to deal with this kind of stuff. This is all very new to me. You. Parents not getting along…argh…alright…I'm shutting up but uhm, I do know that I am sorry for tagging this stuff with you as a mistake…"
Spencer walks back to Ashley's bed and tries to go to sleep. Meanwhile, throughout the whole time Spencer was talking through the door, Ashley was sitting on the bed with her arms crossed, listening to Spencer's uncertainty about everything.
Ashley: ((God. Why her perfect parents had to go all dysfunctional now! At all the times, Spence could find out that her parents weren't exactly "okay", it had to be this time. This is a lot for her. I need to be understanding and help her. No matter how much my heart is aching right now.))
Ashley lets out a sigh and goes to bed.

Spencer couldn't really sleep last night. She had too much thoughts about her parents, her mom and Ben, what her dad might be feeling and to top it off was Ashley and her feelings for Ashley. Spencer wakes up and glances at the clock. 7:00 am.
Spencer: ((Argh. It's a Saturday and I wake up at 7...))
Spencer gets up and takes a shower. Ashley slowly wakes up from the sound of the shower.
Ashley: ((What the hell? Is that the shower? What is the shower doing on? At 7?...Spencer.))
Ashley turns, lies on her back and listens to the running water. 15 minutes later the shower turns off.
Ashley: ((Is she planning on going somewhere?))
Ashley lets a couple of minutes pass so Spencer can get dress and decides to get up and walks out of the room. Spencer and Ashley exited the rooms they were in at the same time. Spencer sees Ashley and looks down.
Ashley: "Why are you up so early?"
Spencer: "Couldn't sleep."
Ashley: "Planning on going somewhere?"
Spencer: "Maybe a walk."
Ashley: "Do you want some company?"
Spencer: "No thank you. I need to take this walk on my own."
Ashley: "Oh."
Spencer: "Just need to clear my head."
Ashley: "Well you know I'm always here if you need to talk."
Spencer: "I know."
Awkward silence.
Ashley: "Spence?"
Spencer looks up and meets Ashley's eyes. Ashley sees Spencer wasn't the same. Some thing was tearing her apart.
Spencer: "What?"
Ashley: "Are you okay?"
Spencer-nodding her head-: "I think I will be."
Ashley: "Come here."
Spencer starts walking over to Ashley, Ashley raises her arms and Spencer walks right into them and they hug for awhile.
Spencer-still in Ashley's arms-: "About what I said last night."
Ashley: "Let's not talk about it now. After your walk."
Spencer nods her head. Spencer turns her head and lightly kisses Ashley's cheek and let's go of the hug.
Spencer: "You have bed hair."
Ashley turns her head to where there is a mirror in the hallway, looks at it and then turns back to Spencer.
Ashley: "No I don't. Not really."
Spencer lifts her hand to Ashley's hair and messes it up. Ashley slightly opens her mouth in surprise.
Ashley-smiling-: "Why thank you Spencer. That is exactly what I needed."
Spencer slightly smiles and Ashley can see it again something was eating Spencer up again. Spencer sighs.
Spencer: "I'm going to go on that walk now."
Ashley: "…Okay. I'll be here."
Spencer leaves the house and Ashley walks into her bathroom and takes a shower.
30 minutes later, Ashley was all dressed and sitting on her bed. Spencer hasn't come back yet.
Ashley: ((Where did she go?))
Something starts making a vibrating sound. Ashley turns around and at the nightstand was Spencer's cell phone. Ashley walks over to the cell phone and opens it. "2 new text message, 1 missed call, 1 voicemail".
Ashley: ((Dang she is popular. Hmm should I read it?))
Ashley clicks on the 1st text message.
Aiden- I'm sorry for that kiss. I shouldn't of done that. I miss u n I hope in the near future we can give it another shot.
Ashley's jaw drops slightly.
Ashley: ((This boy doesn't know when to quit.))
Ashley clicks on the 2nd message.
Kelsey- Spence just follow ur heart n I kno a big part of it is leadin towards her…just don't push her away too much, u might lose her that way.
Ashley: ((Damn I love that girl. She is soo cool.))
Spencer walks in and sees Ashley looking at her phone.
Spencer: "Found what you're looking for in my phone?"
Ashley jumps and looks at Spencer.
Ashley: "I'm sorry it was vibrating and I"
Spencer-folding her arms-: "Decided to invade my privacy and look at my messages."
Ashley: "I know that was wrong for me to do"
Spencer: "Damn right it was wrong thing to do"
Ashley: "But you've been distant and hurting and I wanted to know"
Spencer: "There is no excuses for reading my messages. My business is my business, if I tell you or somebody else."
Ashley: "I know I'm sorry."
Spencer- walking towards Ashley-: "Yeah I am too."
Spencer grabs her cell phone from Ashley's hands and walks out of the room.
Ashley: "Spencer!"
Ashley runs out of the room and after Spencer. Ashley stops running when she sees Spencer sitting at the bottom of her stairs. Spencer is staring at her cell phone screen at a message and closes her eyes shut real hard and puts her head in her hands. Ashley cautiously walks down to Spencer and stops a step before where Spencer was sitting and sits down.
Spencer-shaking her head-: "I'm sorry. I am just letting out my stress on you and it is not fair to you when you didn't do anything…I'm sorry."
Ashley slides down one step so Spencer and her are sitting on the same step. Spencer rests her head on Ashley's shoulder and Ashley wraps her arms around Spencer. Ashley kisses Spencer's head.
Ashley: "It's okay."
Spencer: "I don't know what to do."
Ashley: "You should talk to your parents."
Spencer: "It was like a war-zone. I don't exactly want to walk into the gun fire."
Ashley: "Do you want to talk to them?"
Spencer: "Yeah I do but"
Ashley: "But what?"
Spencer: "I don't want to walk in to another heated argument."
Ashley: "It's not even the afternoon yet. It's too early for them to argue."
Spencer: "Maybe you're right."
Ashley: "Yes I am right."
Spencer: "Can you take me home?"
Ashley: "Sure."
