Author's Note: Yea I'm sorry it has taken so long but I keep getting error reports saying that they can't find my document. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem…but anyway it's most likely that I will be posting maybe 3 or more chapters at one time so be on the look out! Here it is Chapter 27!

Chapter 27

Spencer beeped the car horn noisily. Where the fuck are they!? The door to the house opened revealing Aiden Dennison. Spencer stifled a laugh. Many colors looked good on Aiden but blue was not one of them. His graduation gown was a very royal blue that caused his eyes to look not so much brown but black. Aiden got into the car with an annoyed huff.

"Impatient, impatient, impatient…" he muttered and looked over at the blonde. Spencer looked into his eyes and couldn't help but see the difference. Since Derek and Aiden had broken up he hadn't been the same…literally! After Derek cheated on him Aiden had started dating girls. That's right girls. He seemed to have lost a piece of his personality, since the break up he just hadn't been the same.

"So your going to just sit here and stare after beeping like mad to get me out here?!" Aiden asked a smirk on his face; pulling me out of my stupor.

"Well sorrryyy," I said in mock offense and stepped hard on the gas petal making the car jolt forward with incredible force. Aiden gave her a look and she laughed. I love doing that! It annoys him so much!

Pulling up to the school I was amazed at the feeling of loss that overwhelmed me. I was close to tears. I was not expecting this much emotion. Wow never thought that I actually might miss this place… Aiden looked over at her.

"Yeah I felt the same thing…"

"What?"

"Your sad…right?"

"Yeah…" I said uncertainly.

"Like I said I felt the same thing…" It was amazing how me and Aiden had clicked. With Ashley kind of on the outskirts and Rowan and Madison all over each other we had become really close. He grabbed my hand squeezing it reassuringly. I slowly stepped out of the car smiling. Every time I got out of a car I smiled now because each time I didn't feel any pain. It didn't take any effort at all. My broken body had finally healed and when I stepped out of a car it reminded me of it. Aiden and I walked toward the gym dreading the boring service sure to come. At least the after parties are sure to be the best! When we entered the gym memories came flooding back and I stopped in my tracks trying to calm my nerves.

Looking up in the stands I immediately recognized Kyla and waved at her. It was really nice for her to come…but then again Ashley is her sister… Even thinking it was weird. When I had finally put together everything I was startled that Kyla was Ashley's half sister. It made sense in a way but it still surprised me. We climbed the bleachers to sit next to her. We exchanged hugs and smiles and began the usual small talk. I couldn't ignore the way Kyla was looking at me because she definitely was. No one could deny that the raven-haired girl had deep feelings for the blonde. Kyla and I had agreed not to tell Ashley that they had slept together. Spencer and Ashley were finally returning to something close to normal and this piece of information would just stir up trouble.

"You ready?"

"For what?"

"This…"

"You mean getting out of this hell hole?"

"Yea…"

"I guess…I mean things are going to change a lot but…I don't know…I just don't know…" Kyla nodded understandingly.

"You don't have to explain…I get it…" We sat in silence for a little while until a familiar brunette waved ecstatically from the stands below. I couldn't stop the smile spreading across my face. She's so cute when she's excited…No! Stop! Spencer what do you not get about…just…friends?! Ashley climbed the stairs faster than I had thought possible and soon plopped herself down on the seat beside me.

"Well it's finally here!"

"What's finally here?"

"Graduation silly!" Ashley said giving Spencer a 'Duh' look. Spencer laughed.

"Yeah…graduation…"

"I've waited four fucking years for this!" the brunette said bluntly. The blonde had heard Ashley curse before but every single time she did Spencer couldn't help but be surprised. That- is such a turn on! STOP! I scrunched up my face in exasperation. The bulge shaped like a square in her pocket seemed to pulse. Spencer carried it everywhere since that night when she had set up in Ashley's room waiting for the brunette. Maybe if I just asked her…No you can't go back there with her…she might hurt you again…or worse you might hurt her…

Ashley was very excited because today was going to be the most important day of her life. For one it was graduation, but more importantly today she was going to win Spencer back. She looked at Spencer smiling at the blonde; amused by her cluelessness. I can't WAIT for tonight! She turned to Kyla the only other person there who knew the importance of tonight. She winked at her and Kyla being the nice person she as returned the wink with a small smile. Kyla you have to act before Ashley can…

The day progressed and one by one each senior walked up to the stage and accepted their ticket out of King High School. Finally, the ceremony was over and the excited teenagers exited the gym to head home where they would prepare for that night. A night that was surely going to be implanted in their minds for the rest of their lives.

Spencer rummaged through her closet trying to find the dress that she had chosen specifically for the graduation party

"Fuck! Where the hell is it?!"

"Looking for this?" Spencer spun wildly around to see her father standing there along black bag in his hand, "I'm sorry that I had to confiscate your old one but I thought…well you'll see…" he held out the hand carrying the black bag and Spencer took it from him a look of confusion in her eyes. She laid it on her bed and un-zippered it gasping as she removed the black. A beautiful grey dress was reveled as she continued to un-zipper the bag. Spencer couldn't take in all of its exquisiteness at once. It had to be one of the most stunning dresses she had ever seen. She stood there stunned with the gorgeous dress on the bed. She turned around and hugged her father hard almost knocking him to the ground.

"I take it you like it?" Arthur said in her daughter's ear.

"I love it…" Spencer said her words getting caught in her throat, "thank you…"

"I love you Spencer and the girl that you've grown to become…I want you to know that no matter where you are I will always come if you need me…"

A single tear rolled down her face as she experienced one of the best moments of her life.

Yea that's it a bit soppy and short but I needed an in between. Obviously several weeks have passed and they just had graduation. Next stop the party! Where else do you hold a huge drama fest? Hope you enjoyed!
