Chapter 11:

Loving the comments on the last chapter guys. Let me know what you think.

"I like her" Kyla whispered before she walked away. Kyla left and went upstairs leaving me and Spencer alone again.

I walked over to Spencer and grabbed her hand walking into the kitchen I was fully prepared to make her breakfast.

We walked into the kitchen and started to make pancakes together. I made strawberry for her and she made chocolate chip for me.

Spencer walked up behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist. She placed a kiss on my neck before whispering in my her.

"I like her" I smiled thinking about how Kyla had said the exact same thing about her.

Spencer and I were going to be alright and now we had Kyla rooting for us too.

Spencer POV

Ashley and I decided that it would be best for us to take the day off of school. I had to be ready to face the onslaught of hate that I knew would be coming my way. Ashley had to figure out what she was doing about cheerleading.

She was sure that she wanted to quit, but I told her that if she really loved it, that I was okay with her still being a part of it. She insisted that she only did it because Kyla told her she should, but I had a feeling that she enjoyed truly fitting in for once. I just hope that she realizes that she is all I have.

"What you thinking about baby?" Ashley said sitting down on the couch next to me. She placed her arm around me and and looked into my eyes.

"Oh it's nothing" I said not wanting her to realize how much I really depended on her.

She gave me a knowing look, telling me that she knew something was on my mind. I smiled and laughed realizing how well she already knew me. We had known each other for such a short time but she was already able to read me like a book.

"I'm just thinking about what is going to happen, when we go back to school" I heard her sigh next to me. I realized that this was a discussion that neither of us wanted to have, but we were going to have to talk about it some time.

"Alright I've been thinking about this a lot and I have come to a conclusion" I took a deep breath to regain my composure and I nodded my head.

"Alright so when school gets out today I am going to call Madison. I am going to tell her to fuck off and tell her that is she ever messes with you again, I will make her life a living hell. I am then going to tell her that I quit the squad and that I am going to tell the coach what she did to my girlfriend." I saw Ashley's eyes go wide realizing what she had just said.

"I mean my friend...like my home girl...that's like a friend. Unless I mean you want to be my girlfriend...but you probably don't becau" I cut her off by crashing my lips against hers. I could feel her smile into the kiss as I placed my hand against the back of her neck.

Things started to get more heated as her body was on top of mine. I placed my hands on her hips and pulled her tighter on top of me.

I felt her pull back and rest her forehead on top of mine. She was smiling down at me.

"So I take it, thats a yes" I smiled up at her and sealed my lips on top of hers, whispering into her lips a comforting "Yes".

Ashley's POV

She said yes! She said yes!

I am so excited that Spencer Carlin is officially my girlfriend now. She just whispered yes against my lips and I seized my lips against hers again.

I reached down and placed my hands across her ribs, massaging her in small circles, when I heard her gasp.

I broke our kiss to see her face scrunched up in pain and her eyes watering. I immediately got off of her. I kneeled on the ground next to her and pulled her shirt up.

I could literally feel the air leave my lungs as I took in the sight before me. Her ribcage was all back and blue. The were bruises covering her in various stages of healing.

I ran my hand lightly up and down her ribs trying to ease the pain I had just accidentally caused my girlfriend.

"Baby" I couldn't help but coo as I saw her face muscles start to relax. I got up and walked into the kitchen.

I grabbed a heating pack as well as an ice pack. I was going to make her happy and healthy again.

Spencer's POV

Ashley got up and left, I'm assuming to get me something for the pain. I sat up and took my shirt off, figuring Ashley was getting me ice or something. I leaned my head back on the couch taking deep breaths to try an regulate my breathing after the hot make out session I had just had with my girlfriend.

It felt so good to be able to say that about her. I think I could get used to this, living, sleeping, kissing, her all day every day.

I heard a gasp followed by the sound of my ice pack hitting the ground. I'm assuming that she was not expecting my to be laying her in just a sports bra.

I saw her blush and bend down to pick up the ice pack giving me a nice view of her ass. She turned around giving me a knowing look that I was just checking her out.

She then walked over to me and bent down in front of me. She sat there holding the ice pack to my ribs while she was staring into my eyes smiling.

"What's your favorite color" I laughed thinking how out of the blue, this question it was.

"I realize that we don;t know a whole lot about each other, other than the important stuff"

"Okay um blue I guess" I said "How about you".

"Purple probably, because my dad was in purple venom." I laughed again when the doorbell rang.

I gave Ashley a questioning look. She smiled and shrugged her shoulders in reply.

She opened the door and I heard the most calming voice in the world. It was the voice that used to sing me to sleep every night. The voice that still called me twice a week.

"Hi, are you Ashley? My name is Arthur Carlin" my face dropped in poor shock and Ashley turned around with an identical expression.

He was here, my dad was here.

Alright people give me your thoughts.
