Please let me know what you think. I'm unsure of this chapter. It just felt forced I guess.

Thanks Scouse for the quick beta job!

Chapter 15

Arthur's POV

I arrive at the ranch and I am met with silence. I have looked all over this place and no one is here. The last place I looked was the barn which I discovered that the horses where missing too. They went on the camping trip without me this year.

Hearing a car pull up outside, I quickly leave the barn to greet my visitor.

"Hello. Mr. Snider, I presume." I say, greeting the tiny man with big ears with a firm handshake.

"Mr. Carlin?"

"Yes that's me. I'm so glad you could meet with me on such short notice."

"Yes. Well after reviewing all the information you gave me, I realized we needed to act fast if where are going to save your daughter." He looks around before turning back to face me. "So where is your daughter? I would like to talk to her before we leave."

"They should back soon. My wife took them on a camping trip, and they should be back any minute."

"Great"

Spencer's POV

This has been the best camping trip ever. I almost never want it to end. On the positive side, though at least Ash will be back in my room tonight and hopefully in my bed. Yes, then we could... beautiful brown eyes... fingers... tongues... nope-sorry still to early for that. I need to think about something else and now.

"Ash?"

"Hmm?' She replies lost in her own little world as well. She is riding right beside me on the way to the house.

"Please tell me what we are gonna do on our date?" I pout. "Please!"

She shakes her head and chuckles a little "No babe. You are gonna have to be patient." Ash reaches for my hand and pulls it to her lips placing a small simple kiss to the back of it. "Tonight. I love you."

I'm left alone afterwards. She rides over to my brother, and they seem to start talking instantly about something. It's a good thing I'm not the jealous type.

I hate surprises!

Looking back at Kyla and Madison, who are also deep in a discussion, I frown realizing I have no one to talk to now.

"Hey" I spoke to soon.

"Hi Aiden." I answer in a monotone voice.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Um... sure" Please don't ask me out on a date.

"Why didn't you tell me you where gay?" Thank god, he didn't... wait how did he know?

"How did you find out?" His face turns from a serious look to a giant happy face.

"I saw you two yesterday in the woods." Great!

"LISTEN AID..." He cuts me off before I can finish my rant.

"I wasn't there long. Glen pulled me away. Plus that was one of the reasons for this" He points to his nose. I make a mental note to thank Glen and buy him something nice.

"That still doesn't make it right. You shouldn't have been working on your career as a peeping tom" I huff out.

"I know. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for everything. I'll back off." I bet he's just saying all that so he will not end up in the lake again or some other weird place.

"Why?"

"Glen" is all he says as he leaves me to my thoughts again.

I look over at Ashley and her eyes are deadlocked on me.

Ashley's POV

Glen said he would help me set everything up for tonight. I hope it all goes well. No, I don't mean that has I hope we end up in bed together fucking each other's brains out either. I want to do this right with her. She is it for me. Spencer Carlin has ruined THE ASHLEY DAVIES for life.

I look back at my sweetheart only to see Aiden talking to her again. He is so getting tied to something tonight while he is naked and left there. She's mine you asshole. I'm about to ride back to her when I see him ride away again. She seems to be thinking about something he said.

Moments later, I'm staring back into crystal blue orbs when she looks up at me. A small smile reassures me that everything is okay.

The ranch has just come into view. Apparently, Mr. Carlin is back because I can see his car in front of the house along with another car. I wonder who that is?

Glen's POV

Dad's back. I hope he's not gonna ruin Spencer and Ashley's date tonight. Maybe he is finally ready to accept Spence for who she is; of course, that would make me a glass half-full person, which I'm not.

I'm pretty sure the shit is about to hit the fan.

Mom told us all to prepare the horses for the night in the barn while she went inside to talk to our father. I look over to Spence, and she's chewing on her bottom lip. She's nervous or maybe scared. It's probably both.

After placing Psycho in his stall, I make my way over to my sister.

"Don't worry sis. Everything is going to be fine. You'll see." I pull her into a big bear hug giving her all my strength for what I think is about to come. She is going to need it, so is Ash.

Everyone finishes up, and we make our way to the house. Before we even open the front door, though we hear yelling inside.

"NO ARTHUR!" Mom screams. "SHE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE!"

Instantly, I look back at Spencer. Her eyes are watering. Streams of tears are travelling down her cheeks. I can't believe my dad is trying to send my sister away.

Ashley is holding onto to Spencer as if her life depends on it. I can tell she trying to reassure her that everything will be fine.

Everyone else is shocked. They are just as worried as I am. Spencer falls to the ground crying into her knees. She's whispering something but I can't make it out, so I move closer.

"I will not leave her. I love her. I will not..." My attention turns back to the door as I hear my father yell.

"SHE NEEDS HELP PAULA!"

"NO! BOTH OF YOU OUT OF THIS HOUSE NOW!"

"THIS MY HOUSE WOMAN!" I hear a smack. That's my cue, I run through the front door tackling my father to the ground. With a loud thump, we crash into the railing on the stairs.

I look over to my mother, who is standing there in shock, she's holding her hand. I'm so confused. I thought he just hit her. I heard it. I know I did so what happened? Glancing down at the man I call dad, I see the beginning's of a black eye appearing. Who knew mom had it in her? I sure didn't.

"Get out of my home Arthur and take your friend with you!"

I stand up to let him leave but he just stares at his wife in shock.

"This not over by any means Paula. I will get Spencer help. Even if I have to get a lawyer to take away your rights to her."

Him and the strange little man leave the house and drive away.

What happened to the man I used to call my father?
