Another update. Enjoy

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

Her cell phone goes off with Ashley's ring tone. It stops after a couple of rings and then a couple seconds pass and it goes off again. Spencer grabs her phone with her head still in the pillow. Opens it and puts it against her ear.

Ashley: "Spencer."

Spencer-trying not to cry-: "Hey."

Ashley: "What's going on?"

Spencer: "I am giving Aiden a second chance. Imagine his excitement."

Ashley: "…Oh. Why? Where does that leave us?"

Spencer (avoiding the 1st question but answers the 2nd one): "Probably south of nowhere right now."

Ashley-in a low voice-: "That's not good. Are we going to be going anywhere? You already were with Aiden."

Spencer: "I don't know Ashley. I seriously don't know. I don't think we are going anywhere even if we wanted to."

Ashley puts her cell phone down and puts her head in her hands.

Spencer: "Ashley?"

Ashley hears Spencer say her name, composes herself and picks up her phone.

Ashley: "…Yeah?"

Spencer: "I have to go..."

Ashley: ((You're already gone.)) "Oh okay."

Spencer: "Night."

Ashley: "Sweet dreams."

Spencer: "You too."

Ashley-bites her lip-: "How can I make this better Spence?"

Spencer: "I don't know if you can."

Ashley: "Alright. I'll talk to you later."

Spencer: "Yeah. Later."

They hang up.

------------School--------------

Madison: "Baby you're doing the right thing."

Glen: "I don't know. She said she hated me."

Madison: "She will thank you in the long run. The freak must have some sort of lesbian spell on her… see look."

Madison points across the quad to Spencer. Spencer is sitting at a table and Aiden sits down next to her. Aiden smiles at her and Spencer returns the smile.

Madison: "See the spell is already wearing off."

Glen: "I'm sure you're right."

Madison: "Of course I'm right. Baby I'll catch you later."

Glen: "Alright."

Madison leaves and Glen leans against the wall watching Spencer. Meanwhile across the quad, Aiden is going to try his second chance. Of course he is oblivious to the fact that it wasn't by Spencer's free will. Spencer doesn't want to give him a second chance. She is being forced to.

Aiden: "Are you free Friday night?"

Spencer: "Yes I am."

Aiden: "Do you want to do something? Together."

Spencer: "What did you have in mind?"

Aiden: "A movie."

Spencer: "What movie?"

Aiden: "Glory road."

Spencer: "Yeah okay."

Aiden: "Sweet. I'll talk to you later."

Spencer-putting on a fake smile-: "Later."

Aiden gets up and leaves. Ashley enters the quad and sees Spencer. She takes a deep breath and sits next to Spencer. She doesn't know what to expect but they are still best friends. Even though, there is more. Way more feeling then friendship between them.

Ashley-softly-: "Hey."

Spencer couldn't help but give Ashley a real smile.

Spencer: "Hey."

Glen sees the difference in smiles to Aiden and to Ashley and shifts uneasily on the wall.

Ashley: "What are you doing Friday?"

Spencer: "I have plans."

Ashley: "With Aiden?"

Spencer: "Yup."

Ashley: ((What! Why are you giving Aiden a second chance!)) "Are you sure Aiden is what you want?"

Spencer-lying-: "Yes."

Ashley gives her a look.

Spencer: "He is." ((I hate lying to you))

Ashley: "Fine whatever."

Ashley gets up and leaves. Spencer watches her leave but doesn't move. A frown comes across Spencer's face.

Spencer: ((Great now she is mad at me and frankly I can't say I blame her.))

Glen sees the frown and frowns as well.

Glen: ((Am I doing the right thing?))

-----

Friday night comes around faster then Spencer has expected. Aiden's second chance night. Everything about it feels wrong. The only reason why she is going to go out with Aiden was because Glen said so. She wouldn't even of listened to Glen if he hadn't threaten to tell mother and knowing her mom, there is a good chance she won't see Ashley ever again. Even as a friend, its better than nothing…right?

Spencer finishes getting ready when the doorbell rings and she answers it with pretend enthusiasm.

Aiden: "Wow. You look hot."

Spencer: "Thanks."

Aiden: "You ready?"

Spencer: "In one second."

Spencer turns, grabs her jacket and faces Aiden again.

Spencer: "Now I am ready."

-----------In the Movie-----------

Spencer and Aiden are watching Glory Road. Aiden reaches for Spencer's hand on her lap and intertwine their fingers. Spencer looks over at Aiden, Aiden smiles at Spencer, and Spencer smiles back with a sincere looking smile.

Spencer: ((This looks so right yet something is not right…maybe because I am with the wrong person...))

-------After the movie-------------

Since the movie theater was near the boardwalk of the beach, they decided to talk along the boardwalk. Aiden decided to stop at a bench on the pier. Since it was dark, not too many people were at the pier. Aiden and Spencer sit on the bench. Aiden puts his arm behind Spencer and on top of the bench.

Spencer: "The movie was pretty good I guess."

Aiden: "Yeah."

Spencer: "It hit the whole race issue."

Aiden: "Yeah. But enough about the movie, I can think of something better than talking about the movie."

Spencer: "And what's that?"

Aiden: "This."

Aiden leans in and kisses Spencer. Spencer kisses back. Aiden makes the kiss deeper and his hand starts to go under Spencer's shirt. Spencer pulls away and removes Aiden's hand from under her shirt.

Aiden-putting his hands up-: "I'm sorry."

Aiden quickly leans in again and kisses Spencer. Aiden tries to have his tongue enter Spencer's mouth. Spencer pulls away.

Spencer: "Aiden uhm its getting late. We should head home."

Aiden: "Its not that late, Spence. You need to loosen up."

Aiden leans in again but this time Spencer stands up.

Spencer: "I need to get home."

Aiden: sighs "Okay. But is it something I did."

Spencer: "You didn't do anything wrong. I just don't feel good."

Spencer's house

Spencer: "Bye."

Aiden: "Bye Spence."

Spencer walks inside and goes into her room. Spencer looks at her cell phone, that she left at home while on her date, 1 new voicemail.

Voicemail- (Music blaring in the background)

Ashley: "Spence, Its Ash. Uhm pause I- I-I need you. Can you come and get me? I am in no no, what that word...oh condition to drive. I'm at 1393 Travis Court."

Girl in the background: "Ash, how does that pill taste?"

Ash to the girl: "I don't feel right. (to Spencer) Well anyway sorry to interrupt you on your date Spence."

Boy in the background: "Ash! Ash! Do That."

Ashley to the guy: "Do what?"

Boy in the background: "Jump down from the house to the trampoline and off the trampoline to the pool."

Ashley to the guy: "Uhm no too dangerous."

Boy in the background: "What are you scared? Chicken."

Ashley to the guy: "No! I'll do it."

End of voicemail.

Spencer: ((What the hell? Ashley sounded drunk…oh no.))

Spencer walks out of the room and to Glen's room.

Spencer: "Glen?"

Glen-getting ready-: "Yeah."

Spencer: "Where are you going tonight?"

Glen: "Me and Madison are going to a parrtayyy."

Spencer: "Where?"

Glen: "Uhm, some house on Travis Court. Going to be a major party. It been started but Madison wants to arrive late. Oh yeah how was your date with Aiden?"

Spencer: "It was fine."

Glen: "See I told you. You're back to normal now."

Spencer-in a sarcastic voice-: "Yeah."

Glen: "Awesome. So what's up?"

Spencer: "Can you take me to the party too?"

Glen: "Yeah sure. Let's go."

----Madison's house------------

Madison gets into the passenger seat of the car and looks in the backseat and sees Spencer.

Madison: "What is she doing here?"

Spencer: "Hi to you too Madison."

Glen: "She is coming to the party with us."

Madison: "Argh. Whatever."

------Party-----------------------

Spencer: "Later Glen."

Glen looks at Spencer walk into the crowd and leaves him.

Glen: ((Where is she going? But whatever.))

Spencer starts looking around for Ashley. Living room, nope. Backyard, nope. Kitchen, nope.

Spencer: ((Where is she?))

Spencer walks upstairs and into a room. Spencer stops dead and tries to register what she is seeing. A girl was sitting on top of Ashley's lap on the bed. The girl was taking off Ashley's shirt. Spencer's jaw drops but then she sees Ashley's eyes were barely open.

Spencer: "Ashley!"

The girl sitting on top of Ashley turns around. Ashley just lies down on the bed not knowing Spencer just called her name.

Girl: "And who are you?"

Spencer: "Spencer and you are?"

Girl: "Britney, her ex. Now can you excuse yourself from the room so we can have some fun."

Ashley-in low, groaning voice-: "Spencer?"

Spencer: "Get off her!"

Britney:" I'm not done with her."

Spencer: "Yes you are."

Spencer walks over, grabs Britney and takes her off of a barely conscious Ashley.

Britney-getting her balance-: "What the hell is your problem?"

Britney gets into Spencer face and pushes her.

Spencer: "You are going to be my problem if you just don't leave."

Britney: "Jeez protective much? What! Is she you're girlfriend or something? Because FYI she called me, looking for some fun tonight. It is not my fault she went and got drunk and probably took some drugs."

Spencer: "Ashley may do a lot of things but I can hardly believe she would take drugs."

Britney: "Okay maybe she didn't know she was taking one of them. But the other one she put it down her own throat."

Spencer: "You know what I have heard enough, get out of here."

Britney: "I am not done with that hot girl yet."

Spencer grabs the collar of Britney's shirt and pushes her to the wall, still grabbing her collar.

Spencer-in an innocent voice-: "You are now."

Britney: "Whatever she ain't worth this shit."

Spencer lets go of Britney's collar and Britney walks out. Spencer walks over to the bed and looks at Ashley. Ashley's mascara was smeared under her eyes. Ashley looked like she really had a rough night. Spencer sits down on the bed and moves the hair on Ashley's face and tucked it behind her ear. Ashley's eyes slowly open.

Spencer-in a soft voice-: "You look like a raccoon."

Ashley lets out a little smile.

Ashley: "And you look like an angel."

Spencer: "Who has come down here and got you….are you okay?"

Ashley: "Yeah."

Spencer: "You are a bad liar."

Ashley: "No...Just to you."

Spencer-smiling-: "Come on."

Spencer puts Ashley's shirt back on. Spencer grabs Ashley's arm and puts it around her neck and help Ashley up. Ashley wraps her other arm around the front of Spencer's neck and Spencer wraps her arm around Ashley's back and walk through the door, into the party.
