Sorry for the wait. School has started up. Life getting busy. Here is another chapter. Enjoy.
-----------------------------
Glen sees Spencer walking down with Ashley hanging all over her. Glen meets Spencer at the bottom of the stairs. (Ashley is too unconscious to focus on their conversation)
Glen: "That is why you came here! To come and get this gay slut."
Spencer: "Glen, shut up."
Glen: "Spence, you are just setting yourself up to get hurt. You will just be another girl she slept with, to put on her trophy case."
Spencer: "It is not like that."
Glen: "Sure it isn't? What she looks like, she probably hooked up with a girl. If she cares so much about you than why did she hook up with someone."
Spencer: "…maybe because she thought she lost me when I was forced to go on a date with Aiden. So technically this is your fault."
Glen: "You're blaming this on me?"
Spencer: "A bit of it, yes. I am not saying what she did was okay just because you were a major ass but we will talk about that later. But right now I need to get her home. Can you give us a ride?"
Glen: "Now why in the world would I do that?"
Spencer: "Because you are my big brother and if I have to walk her home in the dark in the dangerous streets of L.A with who knows what kind of lunatic could be around the corner, I will."
Glen: "Fine. Let me find Madison and tell her."
Glen goes off to tell Madison. 5 minutes pass and Glen returns.
Glen: "Alright. Let's go."
Ashley's house
Spencer and Glen get out of the car. Glen looks over the car to Spencer.
Glen: "Spence, I thought you liked your date with Aiden."
Spencer turns to face Glen.
Spencer: "I seemed right but it felt wrong. Something was missing."
Glen: "You are just setting yourself up to get hurt. You just another girl she can hook up with and done with after."
Spencer: "Ashley wouldn't do that to me."
Glen: "That is probably a lot of girls she hooked up with thought."
Spencer: "Who said she hooked up with so many girls and have them as one night stands."
Glen: "People. Her reputation. She has a reputation in breaking in girls."
Spencer: "…."
Glen: "I don't like this Spencer."
Spencer: "I don't care if you like it or not Glen. I have to deal with this. This is my thing I have to figure out. So let me be and let me figure this out."
Glen: "…You are in way over your head Spence,.…But Fine…You think you are doing the right thing and think you can handle it…go do what you want…But be careful Spencer."
Spencer: "…Thank you for being understanding."
Glen: "I still don't like this. I really really don't….Just keep this on the DL. At school and at home. For my sake especially at school and for your sake especially both those places. Mom and Dad will kill you and the school will eat you alive."
Spencer: "You're unbelievable shaking head…Don't worry about me."
Glen: "I have to. You're my little sister. As much as I hate it, it is my job."
Spencer: "Thanks."
Glen: "Yeah…well…its only a matter of time that you will snap out of this phase and be normal again."
Spencer-sarcastically-: "Yeah."
Spencer opens the backseat's car door, wakes up Ashley, and helps her inside and to her room.

Ashley's room
Spencer lays Ashley on her bed and sits down right beside the laying Ashley. Ashley opens her eyes and looks at Spencer.
Ashley: "What..are..you..doing?"
Spencer: "Watching over you."
Ashley: "Why? You should be with Aiden."
Spencer: "I don't want to be with Aiden."
Ashley: "...Yeah...right…than why did you go out with him?"
Spencer: "I had to."
Ashley: "You didn't have to go out with him… Just admit it… You want him… Just admit it and stop stringing me along and let me think that you like me."
Spencer: "I do like you."
Ashley: "But you like Aiden more."
Spencer: "No I don't."
Ashley-slowly shaking her head-: "What do you want from me?"
Spencer: "I want to be with you."
(Pause)
Ashley: "I am not easy."
Spencer: "That is not what I heard."
Ashley: "I…mean…I am not easy to be with."
Spencer: "I know but we are friends and that is a start. And we should go from there and see what happens."
Ashley moves over to Spencer and lays her head in Spencer's lap. Spencer starts stroking her hair and lets her fall asleep.
--
Spencer and Ashley are lying on the bed, side by side. Ashley is sleeping and Spencer is slowly stroking her hair. Ashley wakes up.
Ashley: "Hi."
Spencer: "Hey. How are you feeling?"
Ashley: "Like crap."
Ashley sits up.
Ashley: "You're still here? Taking care of me?"
Spencer: "Is there any other option?"
Ashley: "Yeah. What most people do when they are around me, leave."
Spencer-sitting up-: "No way, life would just be too predictable that way."
Ashley: "…How do I look?"
Spencer: "Good."
Ashley: "You suck at lying. But I'm glad you tried."
Ashley's mom enters the room.
Ms. Davies: "Rise and Shine darling."
Ashley swings her legs over to the side of the bed.
Ms. Davies: "I am heading out for the day and I might now be home tonight."
Ashley's mom starts walking towards them.
Ms. Davies: "Really Ashley, I tolerate your playmates but do they have to be here in the morning."
Spencer: "Oh I'm sorry I just fell asleep."
Spencer gets up off the bed.
Ashley- with her hand on her forehead-: "You remember my friend Spencer, right mom?"
Ms. Davies: "Right. Look Hunny, I can't leave you if you keep on insisting on bringing home this kind of friend. looks over at Spencer
Spencer folds her arms.
Spencer: "Actually I just stayed to take care of her." Points at Ashley.
Ms. Davies: "And I am sure you did that very well."
Spencer looks down.
Ashley-without even looking at the two-: "Mom can you please and try to be nice."
Ms. Davies: "Oh I have been. To Paige who stole my credit cards. To Elizabeth who passes out. And then there was the one with the piercing. (Spencer slowly looks up to Ashley's mom) She just moved in and we had to have the Help get rid of her."
Ashley rubs her head. Spencer looks at Ashley, who wasn't facing her and back to her mom.
Ms. Davies: "Here, this should cover you until I get home."
Ashley's mom tosses a couple of 50 dollar bills on her bed.
Ms. Davies: "Chaiu."
Ashley's mom leaves and Spencer walks around the bed and sits besides Ashley.
Ashley: "I am so sorry."
Spencer: "Is this how it is every morning?"
Ashley: "No. Only once a month, when I see her."
(Pause)
Spencer-facing straight ahead, at the wall-: ((Oh no Glen was right about her. What if I am just going to be another one?)) "Did you really sleep with all those girls?"
Ashley: "Those are just the ones she found out about."
Ashley turns to Spencer and sees the look on her face. Spencer shakes her head.
Ashley-realizing Spencer's feeling towards that-: "None of them meant anything."
Spencer: "Uhuh. And that makes it better."
Ashley puts her hand in her hair again, leans against it and closes her eyes.
(silence). Spencer decides to break the silence.
Spencer: "I should go."
Ashley-eyes still closed-: "Don't go Spencer."
Spencer gets up.
Spencer: "No I should."
Ashley: "Why?"
Spencer-shaking her head-: "I can't believe Glen was right about you."
Ashley: "Glen?"
Spencer: "Yeah. First he forces me on a date with a guy and then at the party, I defend you and then at your house he tells me to be careful because he said I will just be another one night stand type girl. The one you just hook up with and don't want anything to do with afterwards."
Ashley-looking at Spencer-: "Spencer, you know I would never do that to you. You know how I feel about you."
Spencer: "Do I? Now that I think of it, you never told me how you really felt about me. All I know is that you love the ocean. I'll just talk to you later."
Spencer starts walking out of the room.
Ashley: "Spencer, don't do this! Where are you going?"
Spencer-halfway down the stairs-: "Need to think."
Ashley closes her eyes, lays back into the bed, and groans.
Ashley: ((How can I always trip at the finish line? I care about her soo much, how come I just can't tell her that!))
--
AFTERNOON
Ashley got herself together and cleaned up by now with full intent of talking to
Spencer and make sure she isn't having any doubts with wanting to be with her. Ashley picks up her cell phone and calls Spencer but it goes straight to voicemail. Ashley tried again but was sent to her voicemail again. Ashley decided to try her house.
Clay: "Hello?
Ashley: "Hi Clay, its Ashley, is Spencer home?"
Clay: "Uhh no, I thought she was suppose to be at your house. She did come home but she left shortly after."
Ashley: ((she is not home?)) "Oh never mind, I just remember she went out for a walk. Sorry to have bothered you. Bye."
Clay: "…Bye."
Ashley: ((Where is she then?))
Ashley grabs her car keys and walks out of the house.

Rock Hide away
Spencer was sitting on the big, flat rock that she usually sits on when ever she is at the rocks. Spencer was staring out of the ocean, watching the waves build up, the boats in the distance, and trying not to think of Ashley and the girls she slept with. 15 minutes pass and her relaxation was interrupted by her cell phone vibrating again. Spencer looks at her phone and at the caller id. Caller: Ashley. Spencer ignores the call.
Spencer: ((What am I doing? What am I scared of? …That I am risking soo much for the feelings I have for Ashley but I don't know if she feels the same way back? What am I saying? I know Ashley likes me…a lot. What other reason can there be for getting drunk, and being restless when I was with Aiden.))
Spencer's thoughts were interrupted by movements behind her. Quickly she realized who it was.
Spencer-shaking her head-: "This hide away sucks when you are trying to hide from someone who knows about it."
The person behind her doesn't respond. Spencer turns around and sees Ashley leaning against the rock behind them, looking at her hands. Ashley looks up.
Ashley: "Spence, I care about you. I care about you a whole lot. I know you heard about my past and my reputation but…you have to believe me that you don't fit in there. I can't do that to you. You are different and you make me feel a feeling that I am definitely not use to …you have made me so much of a better person than I was and I am not like how I use to be before...I don't want to use you and hurt you.-under her breath- and I don't want to get hurt either. (Pause) Don't let my reputation, scare you away…."
