Into me Chapter 5, a south of nowhere fanfic

Ashley's POV

I have to say that the food was absolutely delicious; her parents sure know how to cook amazing food. Throughout the dinner I would steal glances at Spencer. At times I'd find her looking but then quickly looking away as if nothing happened. Other times I just happen to see her chewing on her food or playing around with it. I think me being here is making her a little nervous. I mean after all, she does have a crush on me right? I know I sound cocky right now, but I can't help myself. I just found out that Spencer has a crush on me and now I just feel all giddy and happy. This is so not me thinking, a few months back I wouldn't even believe that this was me, I never have a crush on people, well, at least not ever since the whole Tracy incident, which to this day still kind of hurts me every time I even think about it. She was my very first girlfriend, and the only girl I ever found myself in love with. I found out that she was cheating on me with another girl, her ex actually. Caught them with my own eyes, they were making out and she didn't even push her away. She tried apologizing, but I wouldn't have any of it, I just blew her off and told her it was over on the spot. I didn't mean to be so harsh, maybe I should've let her explain, but still, it was hard after I just admitted I loved her and then she went off and did something like that.

Glen's voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up to see he was talking to me about something. "So Ashley, what are you good at, I mean subject wise in school, Spence here is a nerd so she's pretty much good at everything aren't you sis?" I could see Spencer blush and I chuckled before turning to face Glen, giving him my full attention. "I'm actually a nerd myself, but I don't really show it much. I major in Music though; I got it from my dad. I could play the piano, violin, guitar, drums and I could also sing." I know that's a lot of instruments, but my dad pretty much taught me everything he knew. "Wow that's a lot of instruments, who taught you how to play all of them, did you teach yourself?"

"Well, actually I learned how to play the guitar myself, but my dad taught me the rest. He was a musician so I was brought up around music."

"Musician huh, anyone we know?" I hate it when they ask this question, I really don't like talking about my dad, especially since he passed away only last year in a car accident, some drunk driver didn't see the red light and drove right through it. No one should ever drive drunk, I mean who the hell does that. "Uh….he was actually famous, um he's called Raife Davies, I'm sure you've heard of him." Everyone looked at me in shock, Spencer's dad had dropped his fork on the plate and Glen was just plain staring at me in a weird way. "No way! He was your father, I would've never guessed. I'm so sorry he died though, it must have been so hard on you."

This is usually when I would excuse myself but I don't want her parents to worry about me, they've been so kind and I wouldn't want to just up and leave after we've been having such a good time. "Yeah, I was….but let's not talk about it yeah, let's just enjoy dinner." They all looked at me sympathetically then we got back to talking about other stuff. Spencer joined in the conversation this time, and I smiled, her voice sounded so angelic. I could listen to it all day if I wanted to, I can't wait to ask her out, but I want it to be special. I hope she says yes because I'm willing to change for her, Kyla was right, I needed to change, and when I saw Spencer I felt connection with her, you could say it was because she was the only girl that had ever stood up to me, but that's not the only reason, it was also because she was different from any other girl I dated, she kind, perfect and not too mention, she likes helping everyone, even those who were at first rude to her. She even helped Madison. Madison of course thanked her in the end and never bothered her again.

"So Spencer, why don't you come over tomorrow, Kyla wanted me to ask you if you'd like to come, I mean it's the weekend, so….what do you think?" That was lame Ash, Kyla never asked you…..oh well, I had to say something, I wanted to ask her out in front of Kyla so that I would have a chance, and I know Kyla would approve if she see's that I'm trying to change. "Uh, yeah sure, why not, is that ok with you mum…..dad?"

"Of course honey, we wouldn't mind"

"Great, I'll pick you up at 10am sharp." I know that's early, even for me, I never get up before 11 am, but I want to do this for Spencer. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Spencer blushed and smile. I guess she's excited about coming over tomorrow. Her parents caught the whole interaction and chuckled. It was cute to see that she was so close with her parents and her brother, and there over protectiveness over her just shows me how much they really care for Spencer, even though it was a little over the top when they were interrogating me. After am hour of eating and having a conversation, I looked at the time and saw that it was almost 7:30 pm. "I'm so sorry, but I have to go, I promised my little sister that I would help her with her homework, and I don't want to be late, I hope you don't mind."

"Of course we don't mind dear, we totally understand, Spencer why don't you walk her to the door honey." I smiled yay! Maybe she's going to give me a kiss goodnight. What! You can't blame me for acting this way, her parents approved of me so that's a big plus. "Thanks for coming over Ashley, I had a great time."

"No problem Spence, I enjoyed it, and I think your parents love me!" She chuckled and shuffled her feet. Shaking my head I kissed her cheek lingering there for a while before pulling away, and smirking. Her face was really red now, and she seemed a little dazed. It's the Davies charm, it works all the time, how do you think I get girls? I walked to my car and turned back to wave goodbye before slowly driving home"

Back at the Davies Mansion

"Kyla I'm home, hello?" I heard feet running down the stairs and I was met by a big hug. "Hey Ash, how was dinner at Spencer's?"

"Uh yeah, it was great, Ky….I kinda told Spencer that you asked me to ask her to come over tomorrow." She looked at me weirdly before crossing her arms and giving me serious look. "Why'd you do that, are you planning something?" My sister knew me too well, and I love her for it, she would always be there for me every time I'm down. When our dad passed away, she was there to help me cope through the pain, when I was drinking to drown my sorrows, she was there to help me get over that phase. "Uh….you see I was um, I was planning to ask her out and I wanted to do it in front of you because I know that way she'd say yes, and I wanted to show you that I could change, I'm trying to change Kyla, and I want to, not just for you and myself, but also for Spencer." She looked at me softly before pulling me into a small hug. "I'm glad you're trying to change, and I approve of you for Spencer, but you must promise to try and not hurt her."

"Thank you so much Ky, and yes I'll try not too….."

"So what's the plan big sis, what time she coming over, and what are we going to do when she gets here?"

"Well I was hoping that we'd go swimming, go out shopping, then go to the movies, maybe eat out afterwards?"

"Sounds simple enough to me. And don't worry I'll throw in a few pointers for you, I'm sure she's love to know more stuff about you." I smiled and hugged her one last time before going upstairs and getting changed into a fresh pair of pajamas. I went back downstairs and sat down next to Kyla, watching tv. It was some tv show that she watched every evening called pretty little liars. It was interesting actually, and I found myself getting into the story. My favorite character was Emily, she's pretty, hot, cute, and did I mention she was gay! After the show ended, Kyla was falling asleep, I had to nudge her awake. "Ky maybe you should go to bed because you look exhausted. Come on baby sis, I don't want you falling asleep on the sofa." Mumbling, she got up and practically dragged herself up the stairs. I laughed and followed her, making sure she didn't fall over and hurt herself, because last time she did. I tucked her into bed and kissed her on the forehead. I know I know, she's a little to old for getting this sort of behavior, but she's my little sis, and I care about her a lot, I don't like seeing her hurt because it breaks my heart to see her cry.

I went to my room and sat on my bed placing the guitar on my lap. I began to sing and strum at the same time. The song was called your Guardian angel by Red jumpsuit apparatus. The song was just so beautiful and very meaningful, that every time I listen to it, I felt like crying myself. The lyrics were just so beautiful and I found myself getting lost in the song when I began to sing it myself.

Your Guardian Angel :

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face
I can't replace
And now that I'm strong
I have figured out
How this world turns cold
and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find
deep inside me
I can be the one

I will never let you fall(let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all(though it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
[to fade]
