Hi! Yes I know, two updates in two days is a record for me. Here's the next chapter.

Ashley's POV

I watch Spencer as she walks out of her room with my phone. I listen and then realize she's giving them directions to her house. I can't believe all of this is happening. I walk up to the mirror and touch up my makeup once more. I step back and look at myself. Everything seems good. I start to walk downstairs to find Spencer. She's still on the phone. She sounds frustrated. I stay on the stairs and listen to the conversation.

"Well which direction are you coming from?!"

She pauses to listen.

"I don't even know where that is! Hold on. Dad?!"

She still doesn't know I'm listening. She walks into the kitchen and gives Mr. C the phone. She walks out of the kitchen to come upstairs, then she sees me. She smiles.

"Now I understand why you flipped out on him earlier. What an asshole."

"Spence, no matter what's going on, I always know who to be a bitch to. Trust me."

We laugh and she grabs my hand and pulls me into the living room. We sit on her couch and look out the window. She's rubbing her thumb over the top of my hand.

"Ash, you look beautiful. I wish I could go with you, and hold your hand all the way through this."

"I know, Spence. I wish you could too. But this is something I have to do on my own anyways."

"I understand."

"Hopefully there's someone there strong enough to hold me back if I feel the urge to kick Don's ass."

We laugh and she takes her other hand and fixes my bangs. She knows I'm kidding about Don.

"Well I hope for Don's sake he doesn't make you any more mad."

"Me too. Wouldn't wanna mess up my hair!" I say flipping my hair off of my shoulder.

"Wow I can totally tell you were best friends with Madison."

"Hey!" I hit her with a nearby pillow, "I'll take that as an insult, thank you very much!"

We settle down and I see Mr. C walk into the room. He hands me my cell phone.

"Ashley, they should be here any minute."

"Thanks Mr. C."

"No problem. Please call us if you need anything."

I stand up and give him a hug. This man is really the nicest man I will ever meet.

"I will, I'm sure."

I hear Spencer hold in a laugh after my last comment.

"You two should wait outside, so they find the house easier. Spencer, after Ashley leaves, would you come in the kitchen and help me with dinner?"

"Sure, dad. Come on, Ash."

She grabs my hand and snatches my purse from the stairs on the way to the door.

"Spencer Carlin! A multi-tasker. Hmm. I never would've thought!"

"Hey!"

Just then I see a black stretch limo pull up. I take a shaky breath and feel Spencer squeeze my hand.

"Call me if you need anything, Ash."

"I will."

"No, seriously. Anything. I mean if they're low on tissues and you feel you might need some, call. I mean it. Like-"

"I know, Spence."

I watch her open her arms and give me a heart warming smile. I walk into her arms and feel so secure. I back away and give her a kiss. She holds out my purse and I take it with a smile. What would I do without her?

"I'll see you later, Spence."

She waves and I turn towards the limo. I just now notice the limo driver standing there holding the door open. I quickly get in.

On the way to the viewing was the quietest I've ever hear the inside of any car, or limo for that matter. I look out of the window and see the drive take the on-ramp to the highway. I sit back and try to relax. I start to calm down until I hear tires squealing and the limo jerks to an abrupt halt.

Reviews are greatly appreciated!
