SPENCER'S P.O.V
I feel like I've been yanked out of my comfort zone and that terrifies me.
I feel safe in New York but when I'm in LA I feel vulnerable.
"Ky are you sure it's alright we crash here?"
"Zara I'm positive"
We're at Kyla and Ashley's loft in LA.
"Spence are you still alive over there?"
"Yer"
"You've barely eaten?"
I'm too nervous to eat.
"Zara I'm really not that hungry"
Zara's mum picked us up from the airport and dropped us back at Kyla's loft.
We were going to stay at a hotel but Kyla insisted we stay here.
"You're missing out Spence it's good pizza"
"Ky I'm really not that hungry I ate on the plane"
This is the last place I wanted to be staying.
But Zara butted in and agreed before I had a chance to say no.
So now i'm stuck in Ashley's loft and I have no idea how she's going to react when she sees me.
"Spencer stop panicing"
"I'm not panicing"
I am.
"Zara it's just weird being back in LA"
"It's a big city Spencer"
That's true.
"Ky how long have you guys owned this place?"
It's a pretty impressive loft.
"We bought it when I was in college"
"It's an awesome crib Ky"
"I know but it didn't come cheap"
That doesn't surprise me.
"So besides the whole fix Spencer and Ashley thing what else is on this weeks agenda?"
"I told my mum we'd all come over for dinner tomorrow"
That's fine by me.
I love hanging out with Zara's family.
"A family dinner at the West household I like it"
Both Kyla and Zara are ridiculously excited to be here and in a way I'm happy as well.
But i'm freaking out about seeing Ashley and right now that's ruining all the excitement I have.
"My mum was so excited when she found out we were visiting and now she's rounding up the troops for a family bowling outting"
That's hilarious.
"And you two lovely friends of mine are both invited"
That actually sounds kind of fun.
"Zara you can count me in"
There's no way I'm knocking back a bowling session with the West family.
"What about you Ky?"
"Yer bowling actually sounds kind of fun"
I haven't bowled in years.
"This week's going to be so awesome"
When Kyla walked out and told Zara we were going to LA, Zara wanted to pack her things and leave straight away, but we couldn't.
I had a few things I need to do at the bar and it was too late for me to cancel this weeks open mic night.
So we booked our flights for Friday.
"I'm guessing the rattling keys means Ashley's home?"
Someone's at the door.
"That's ridiculous you can't..."
She stops talking when she notices us.
"Kyla Davies long time no see"
"Woods"
"Oh that's right I always forget"
This chick's kind of hot.
"Ky what are you doing here?"
She's talking to Kyla but she staring at me.
"We thought we'd visit"
"Isn't that lovely?"
She looks annoyed.
"Kyla are you going to introduce me to your really hot friends anytime soon?"
Usually I'd find that amusing but Ashley looks like she's going to kill me.
"Sorry Maddy this is Zara and Spencer"
"Which one's Spencer?"
Okay now i'm worried.
"Maddy?"
"Yes Ashley?"
"Hurry up and use the bathroom so we can go"
"I've had a change of heart"
I watch Madison as she grabs a slice of pizza out of the box.
"I don't want to go anymore"
"Okay fine"
When Ashley starts walking to the Kitchen I hop up and follow her.
"Hey"
"Hey"
Yep she's really mad.
"Can we talk?"
"Spencer I'm not interested"
I grab her arm when she tries to walk past me.
"Ashley please?"
"Okay talk"
When I look over at the others they're staring.
"Can we maybe go somewhere where they're not?"
"No"
This isn't going to be easy.
"Ashley I'm so sorry"
"Okay"
I knew she'd be mad but I was kind of hoping she'd at least hear me out.
"Spencer can I go now there's a hot brunette waiting for me to call?"
If she said that to hurt me it worked.
"Do what you need to do Ash"
"Madison?"
"Yes my friend"
"Are you coming or you staying?"
"I'm staying"
This time when she tries to walk away I don't stop her.
"And so are you"
The latino just cut her off before she could leave.
"Maddy get out of my way"
"No"
This chick's feisty.
"Ash I'm going to put my Dr Phil hat on for a second?"
"You watch Dr Phil?"
"I do but that's not important right now"
I watch Madison as she drags Ashley back over to where i'm standing.
"Okay so i'll introduce myself again i'm Madison"
"Spencer"
I shake her hand.
"I've heard alot about you"
"Maddy?"
"Ashley just shhh for a second... you'll thank me later"
I'm pretty sure Ashley's going to kill her.
"So it's been an interesting few weeks?"
She's talking to me.
"I guess you could say that"
"Spencer you really messed around with my friends head"
"Maddy?"
"Ashley shhh"
I think I'm about to get my ass kicked.
"I'm kind of impressed"
She is.
"You're the first girl I've ever met that's turned her down"
"I..."
"But that also makes me think you're an idiot"
"I am"
She wasn't expecting that.
"Look Spencer she's been in shit mood since she landed and I'm guessing that you're the only one that can fix her"
This Madison chicks unusual.
"So Spencer you should talk and Ashley you should listen"
That's what I was trying to do.
"And then when you're finished you two can fuck or you can go back to not talking"
The fucking would be fun.
"But if you two don't get everything out in the open, you're going to be miserable bitches and that's going to ruin my fun and there fun"
She's pointing at Zara and Ky.
"So I'm going to go join your hot friend"
She's looking at me.
"And your hot sister on the couch and you two can have your little chat"
I watch her as she walks back over to the couch.
"She's..."
"Different"
She cut me off before I could finish.
"Ashley can you please just hear me out and then I'll promise if you want me to leave I will"
There's a long pause before she says anything.
"Okay"
