AN: I don't know about wills and how it's done. I could have gone and do research but I was lazy. So if what I'm saying is a little off, try to ignore it.
Thanks for the reviews!
Enjoy!
"I found out a few days ago that I have Leukemia. With all those drugs I took, it's just about time right?" Ashley said trying to act unaffected but her voice betrayed her.
"Ash...I'm sorry. We can get you the best treatment there is. We don't have to let anyone know, if you don't want to. I can take care of that. But don't tell me you are giving up because of that." Carlo said hoping his friend would listen to him.
"I didn't ask you to come here to give me advice about that. I really don't want to talk about it."
Carlo just nodded. He knew not to push the brunette if she did not want to talk about it. He figured Ashley would need more time to think. He just told himself to be there for the brunette and do everything that she asks of him.
"Just one last question, does Kyla know?"
"Not yet. I'll tell her later when she comes by later. On the note, can you stay 'til dinner? So we could finish all this? I really want it done as soon as possible." Ashley said.
"Yeah of course." Carlo said although he had no idea what Ashley was talking about on what it was that needed to be finished.
"Okay. Thanks." Ashley said. "The next thing, I wanted to do was my will." Ashley stated like she was just ordering some burger and fries on a drive- thru.
"Ash... It's good that you're getting all things fixed up, but I hope it's not because of you-know-what." Carlo said trying to be reasonable.
"I need to do this, okay. So just let me. Kyla will be here soon. And we have to be almost done by then."
"Okay...So where do you want to start?" Carlo said giving in.
"Uhh, you get 10% of everything and..." before Ashley could finish Carlo started talking.
"Wow... you don't need to do that. I owe you enough as it is." Carlo said.
"Look, you've been good to me. It's only fair I do this. And I want to." Ashley said.
"As I was saying... You get 10% and then the remaining would go to Spencer, Josh and Kyla. Half and Half. Same thing goes here. Spencer can't go giving her properties to whomever, not even her future wife or husband. I don't care how much she loves them. Got it?" Ashley said getting angry at the thought of Spencer being with someone else.
"Yeah..."
"Can you like do something that I could already sign?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah, I could make a draft that you could sign right now. And then just do it again later."
"M'kay... But will that be totally legal?"
"Yeah it is as long as you and a witness signs it."
"Okay, do that then."
"I'm going to rest for a while. Feel free to call room service for anything. And wake me if I'm still asleep when Kyla gets here."
"Okay just go and relax for while."

"Carlo?" Kyla said as soon as she opened the door to Ashley's suite.
"Kyla, you're here. I'm gonna go wake Ashley."
"Wait." Kyla said as she grabbed his arm. "What are you doing here? And what's with all these papers?"
"I think Ashley should be the one to tell you that."

"Hey Ash... Kyla's here..." Carlo said as she lightly shook the brunette.
"Yeah... Yeah... Just 5 more minutes I'd be right out." Ashley mumbled
"Okay" Carlo said as he got up.
"Hey! Put that down." Carlo said as she saw Kyla snooping around the papers that he left lying around.
"What are you doing looking into Ashley's assets?" Kyla said looking at him accusingly.
"Woah..Calm down there. I'm not doing anything that Ashley doesn't know, okay?" Carlo explained.
"What is going on with Ashley?" Kyla asked.
Carlo was silent unable to answer Kyla. He just looked away and started to fix the papers that were scattered upon the table.
"Oh good, you're here." Ashley said as she got out of her room and broke the silence she did not know existed between her sister and her lawyer.
"What is going on Ashley?" Kyla asked as she turned around to face her.
Ashley sighed then said, "Sit down"
"What is going on Ash?" Kyla said softly as she saw the defeated look that graced her older sister's face and the eyes that looked to have been crying the past few hours.
"I want you to give this to Spence" Ashley said as she handed Kyla the divorce papers.
"What is this?" Kyla said confused but was then shocked when she opened the envelope to look at the papers "What are you doing?! You're divorcing Spencer?!"
Ashley did not look at her sister. She did not feel like explaining anything. It was hard enough for her to sign it. But to have to actually hear it from someone else makes it more real and it was just so hard she couldn't stop the tears from falling.
"Hey, you'll be alright. Everything will be fine." Carlo whispered as he enveloped Ashley in a hug. He knew how much it hurt Ashley to do it. He truthfully cannot understand why Ashley would divorce Spencer on the time she really needs her the most.
"Ash...Please tell me what is going on..." Kyla begged. She rarely saw her sister cry in front of her. It worried her. She knew there was something much more going on. She just couldn't tell what.
"Just give it to her please. Before, I start being selfish again and change my mind." Ashley mumbled.
"Then feel free to change your mind." Kyla said hoping that would snap Ashley out of her craziness.
Ashley did not say a word.
"Why are you being like this Ash? You love Spencer. You begged her not to do this. And now, you actually signed it and want me to give it to her? What drugs are you on now? You cried and begged her to change her mind and now that she does, you actually signed it? Do you really just want to hurt her?" Kyla said frustrated at the way her sister is acting.
"What?! You think I like hurting her? Do you think I actually end us for good now? Do you think I want this Kyla?!" Ashley said yelling at her sister.
Kyla was taken aback by the pain and hurt that laced her sister's voice.
"Then why are you doing this?" Kyla asked softly.
"I can't promise her forever...not anymore." Ashley said softly looking at the ground.
