I had one thought in my head when I heard that voice and it wasn't a good one. Why would she be here and at like eleven at night. Ashley backed away quicker then I have ever see her move, it must be the guilt of what happened. My mother said she would always hurt me and she wasn't wrong, mothers rarely are.

"Mom, what are you doing here it's called a phone?" I said standing in between her and Ashley.

"Nice to see you to Spencer!" she id rolling her eyes at Ashley and coming to me hugging me

"Sorry it's just weird seeing you all the way here this late unannounced!" are hug ended and I felt the tension in the room, not only my mother and me but Ashley and me plus my moms presence didn't help.

"I had a conference in New York so I decided to stop in on you see how you were!" her smile on her face when she talked told me something different

"Oh you mean like snooping around my life, I thought we were over this?" I said shaking my head at her and turning to Ashley

"Spencer it's different I just wanted to see you is all. I know it is out of the way but I just figured you would want to see me too!" oh she is so good at the guilt thing I swear her and Ashley have more in common then they think.

"I do mom trust me I do miss you and dad, but it would just be nice for a phone call is all I'm saying!" I was standing by Ashley now I just happened to move in her direction

"Hi Ashley nice to see you are still around!" my mom said to Ashley in her bitchy tone but with a big smile like she meant nothing by it

"Oh hi Mrs. C yeah I'm still here always gonna be so!" Ashley said back to her in her cocky tone with a smile, they are never going to change.

It was an awkward moment of silence, I wanted to spend time with my mom but it was late and I definitely wanted Ashley to stay here so I felt like I was in a predicament. Should I ask my mom to leave or tell Ashley I would call her?

"Do you sleep here Ashley? Don't you have your own room?" my mom said trying to shoo her off.

"I have my own room but…" I stopped Ashley before she totally pissed my mom off.

"Umm mom why don't you go wait downstairs in the cafeteria and I will be down in a minute?" my moms face was priceless when I told her to leave it almost made me laugh but I had to remember Ashley and I weren't on laughing terms.

I watched my mom leave and then turned to a not so very happy Ashley.

"What Ash I can't just send her away" I said sighing

"Why? She hates me Spencer see what I mean?" she said spinning around to face my wall

"No don't think you can rationalize this you fucked up my mom didn't push you" I said grabbing my coat and door key.

"Where are you going? I think I need you more right now, don't you?" she said coming behind me and grabbing my arm

No Ashley I think my mom is here and I want to talk to her I won't say anything about us I don't want her to know either, but I'm not gonna drop my mom for you right now. I'll be back just stay here ok I'll call Allie tell her not to come home." I said to her watching a smile grow on her face.

"Just cause she won't be here doesn't mean anything you'll still go home tonight I just don't want world war four is all." I said back to her covering my mistake in letting her think I was happy and wanted her to stay.

I left and headed to the café to meet my mom. I hated this that she could get to Ashley the way she does and she does it on purpose. When my mom found out Ashley was going to be a surgeon. I thought she would be happy but no she wasn't she only laughed and said she would never have the patience to save a life.

I spotted her sitting in the middle of the room scanning through a pamphlet of some kind. I was angry at her for not only interrupting us but for being a totally bitch to Ashley. I walked up to her quickly taking a seat.

"What the hell mom?" I said in a high pitched voice

"I told you Spencer I just wanted to see you" she said reaching here hand out and rubbing mine

"Yeah right mom you always have an agenda" I said pulling my hand away

"Ok if you must know I was offered a teaching job and I think I might take it so I came to check it out!" her face was lite up all the lies she just told me and she still thinks she is perfect little Christian.

"Why would you take a teaching job and like take a major pay cut?" she had a evil grin on her face. "Mom you have got to be kidding me why would you do this to make my life a living hell?" I said to her shocking her a little, me not wanting her in my life.

"Nice Spence I thought it would be nice being close again and it won't be that major just a little a price I can handle if it means being close to you?"

"So you want to give up your career as an E.R surgeon to become a teacher that sounds crazy is everything with dad ok?" I ask her a little concerned that her and my dad might be fighting again.

"Hey were good no need to worry I just thought it would be nice is all a change." She said smiling

"Yeah but you're not going to be able to follow me forever mom!" I said to her sympathetically

"I know it was just a thought it's not on paper yet!"

"You would teach Ashley is that what made you do this so you can mess with her?" I asked her hoping she would never really want to hurt Ashley

"Spencer I don't like her and we all this but I would never ruin her life, at least not the life a side from you"

"Ok I hoped so but mom her medicine and passion for that is my life and my journalism is hers. I just wish you would see that already" I said to her sipping my water

"I know Spencer it just I wish you would see I want you to be happy and live a good life with kids and marriage."

"Mom I am happy and I still can have kids and a big white wedding it's just going to be with Ashley and I know that is wrong to you but it feels so right to me" I said to her hoping she would just get the hint and let this go after all these years.

"Ok Spencer well I am starting to get tired mostly of this conversation so I'm going to head back to the hotel what time are your classes tomorrow?" she asked gather her purse and putting the papers together she was looking at

"I have two classes one at 12 then a two hour break and then one at 4!" I said to her getting up and giving her a hugnot arguing with her other comments.

"Ok well I will call you for lunch and then maybe after we can do something a movie I hear 'License to wed' is good." She backed away and held my hand

"Yeah lunch sounds good but I might have plans at five with Allie so I will have to see, when are you going back to L.A?"

"Saturday night is my flight, eight I think. Have Allie come with I would love to meet her, no plans with Ashley is something wrong it looked like she was mad upstairs?" She always did this change the subject into something she was dying to ask. I knew she wanted the dirt on me and Ashley, I just wasn't telling because there is a lot.

"We'll see mom maybe I'll ask Ash is she wants to come to show you we are just fine" I said smiling knowing she hated that idea

"Mmm ok Spencer call you tomorrow love you" she said hugging me again

"I love you two mom be careful" I said watching her go and see her waving to me I just stood and watched her shaking my head she was incredible the things she does.

I made my way back up to my room hoping Ashley was still there. She gets a little anxious when it comes to waiting. I bumped into Cassie she was running up the hall way in the direction of our room.

"Damn in a hurry?" I asked her

"Spence hey ah yeah Sorry!" she said slowing down to walk with me

"So I heard about that fight tonight at the party how's Ashley?"

"She's ok I don't think she got hit, all the other girl, and kind of my fault" I said laughing

"Yeah heard that you brought her and Ashley like freaked out, but didn't she like cheat on you?" she asked

"Yeah but V said something to hear about not being good enough and Ashley like flipped, I don't know"

"Oh so you guys are back, I mean you forgave her?" she asked me with her eyebrows raised

"Yeah I think we are I don't know?" I told her sounding a little unsure

"We'll whatever you stronger then me" she said "But this is my stop I have to see the R.A about the damn toilets" she said laughing

"Ok see you later, Bye"

"Yep" she said going into the room.

The toilets have been over flowing lately. It's gross the floors are always wet I think the guys are being assholes and keep putting shit in them and flushing. We always see them in and coming out of them laughing then when they see us they hide their grins.

I stopped in front of my door, taking a little breather before I went in. I got to say I was a little nervous going back in there remembering her lips brushing up against mine. The way her hands felt on my back, it was too much. I know if I go in there now I will fall right into her arms. I will cave I know I will.

When I turn to leave I hear my door open and Ashley is standing there looking at me surprised to see me.

"Were you just leaving?" she said to me looking at me with a smile

"No why were you?" I asked her with a smile knowing I was caught

"Uh huh" was all she said moving out of the doorway so I could come in

"What about you" I asked her she only smiled, I knew then that she two was leaving.

I watched her go to my bed and sit down patting her hand on the spot next to her. I went and laid next to her, and she laid back.

"So" I said

"So" she answered
