Hey guys. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been really busy with this musical but it's finally over. Woo! Here's a little update.

Please review!

Ashley's House.

Spencer's POV

There. I finally have the rest of the bags packed. I grab the last two and start to walk out of Ashley's bedroom. I got distracted and looked at the broken guitar on the floor. I put the bags down and pick up what is left of the guitar. I get an idea and take the guitar downstairs with one of the bags. I get Ashley's car loaded with the bags and I'm ready to drive off when I remember that I left one upstairs. I almost have a heart attack when I see the door is shut, but when I get closer I see that it is still open. I walk in and shut the door behind me. I slowly make my way up the stairs once more. This is tiring. Well actually it's not, but I'm starting to forget what it feels like to sleep. I need some coffee. I'm in the hallway and I hear someone loudly knocking on the door. You've got to be kidding me! I dive into Ashley's bedroom, ouch. I'm definitely going to be sore tomorrow.

At the Police Station.

Ashley's POV

I see the dark figure coming closer. I can see it's a guy, kind of tall. I just hope it's not that cop. What an asshole. Didn't he get his required number of donuts this morning? I'm relieved and really confused when I see that it's Mr. Carlin.

Ashley: "Mr. C? What are you doing here?"

Arthur: "Hey Ashley. Spencer called me when you were arrested. I've been here for a while. My office is just down the street."

Ashley: "Is Spencer alright? She didn't get arrested did she?"

Arthur: "She's fine. She just wanted to make sure that I got you out of here. I'm truly sorry about your father, Ash."

Ashley: "Thanks, me too."

Arthur: "I know you've had a long day, or days. But why don't you tell me what happened? I'll try to get you out of here as soon as possible. Within an hour we should be done."

Ashley: "Spencer and I were at the beach talking. That's when I asked her if I could stay at your place. She told me she already asked and that it was fine. We went back to my house to get some stuff and I wanted to tell my mom where I would be. The door was locked so I tried my key and my mom changed the locks. I picked the lock to get in and found a note from my mom saying that she left. Then the cops came."

Arthur: "I guess they didn't recognize you. I'll be back. Sit tight."

I smile at him as he walks out of the room. I hope I did the right thing covering for Spencer. I don't want her to get in trouble. She was just trying to help. She wouldn't have had to pick the locks if my mom wasn't such a bitch. I hear the door open and in comes the asshat cop with Mr. C. He releases me from the handcuffs finally.

Arthur: "Ashley, you're good to go. I'll give you a ride home. You can wait outside in the car for me. I just have to finish some things here and I'll be out."

Ashley: "Thank you, Mr. C!"

I give him a hug and he hands me his keys. I walk out of the Police Station and out into the hot air of LA. I can't stop smiling. Mr. Carlin is seriously the greatest parent ever. I get in to his SUV and put the keys in the ignition, then turning them so I can listen to the radio. I hear music but just barely. I turn the volume up.

"And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da)

I love it when she calls my phone
She even got her very own ringtone
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)

It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
And I open the door take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)"

I take a minute to laugh at the song and really listen to the lyrics. Before I know it the song is over and Mr. C is getting in the car.

Arthur: "Well I have some good news. The police officer got his badge taken for not checking your ID."

Ashley: "KICKASS! Oh, sorry. He was really mean. I, uh-"

Arthur: "Don't worry about it. I know what you mean."

We back out of the parking space and drive away. I'm not sure where we're going. I'm just enjoying being out of that room. We start heading back to the Carlin house. We get there and he opens the door for me. We look around for Spencer but she's nowhere to be found.
