I'm on a roll with these updates! Sorry if this chapter sucks. I had a headache when I wrote it.

I know I keep promising some FOF but I have felt like shit for the last few days so sorry about that. I am very grateful for all the reviews I receive. They keep me going, and I love to read them.

To my overworked beta thanks Scouse.

PG-13

Chapter 21

Ashley's POV

I can't believe that our whole plan to find and save Spencer relies on Aiden and Madison. If I was a betting person, which I'm not, I would not like the odds with those two running the show. Don't get me wrong, I love Mads, but she doesn't seem the type to be able to pick a lock. Aiden on the other hand, that douche bag, has about as much brains as a doorstop. His plan of getting Mr. C to leave is absurd and that's putting it lightly. My girls' life is in the hands of these people and all I can do is follow along.

Looking at everyone sitting in the bedroom, I realize an enormous problem that nobodies brought up yet.

"Glen. How are we all going to sneak out of here without your mother noticing we're gone?" I feel it is a reasonable question.

He looks dumbfounded by my question. As does everyone else. I guess none of them thought of that part of the plan. "Um..."

Shaking my head, there is so much more we need to figure out first. Where is Spencer when we need her? She would have already figured out a brilliant plan to get us out of here.

Spencer's POV

"Ashley" I whisper as I open my eyes. Hoping that last night wasn't a dream; however, I'm truly disappointed when I see I'm still in the small closet. It must be morning because I can see light coming through the crack under the door. If it's morning that means we are leaving today. I don't want to leave though. I want to go home. I miss my mom, brother, Ashley, and hell, I even miss the others too.

"How am I going to get out of this?" Sometimes saying it aloud helps me come up with an idea.

Think Spencer. Think! I need some way of getting outside without having to waste a lot of time in the process. Think! Pacing back and forth, thinking which is more like turning circles instead. Maybe I can make a run for it when he takes me to the car to leave today. That sounds like a plan, I guess. I just hope it works.

The lock clicking stirs me out of my planning.

"Spencer" He whispers. "Get up and use the bathroom. I have breakfast for us."

Unable to look him in the eyes, I stare at the floor as I make my way to the bathroom to clean up. The shower is refreshing, but it does nothing for my mood. Drying myself off, I put the clothes on that he gave me to change into.

Instead of going back out to him, my father, my kidnapper, I linger in the bathroom a bit longer. I have never hated anybody in my life, but he, which I can't even call him father, is quickly becoming my first.

"Come on Spence. It's time to eat" He yells through the door.

Sighing, I make my way out the bathroom. I still refuse to look at him as I take a seat at the table. He places a breakfast burrito in front of me along with some orange juice. After eating, I look over at the TV, which is on but muted. The news is on. My mother is talking to a reporter, and they keep showing a picture of me. At least I know they are looking for me.

I look at him for the first time with a smug look plastered on my face. "When they find out you took me. You're going to jail. You know that right?" After that, I turn back to the TV hoping to get a glimpse of Ashley.

He just smiles at me "Spence. Listen, I..." I cut him off before he can finish.

"IT'S SPENCER!" I grit out.

He starts to talk again but is interrupted by the phone ringing. "That's probably Mr. Snider confirming your arrival tonight."

Walking over to the phone, he answers. "Hello."

I wish I could hear what was being said on the other side.

"What time do you want to meet?" I keep staring hoping to figure out what is going on.

"Okay. I'll meet you then. Bye" He hangs up the phone and comes back over to me.

"It's seems that they are having a search party for you and asked me if I could help out." A wicked smile appears on his face. "They're never going to find you in time."

Just like that, I'm back in the closet again.

Ashley's POV

It worked! Aiden's idea to get Mr. C out of his hotel room actually worked. I'm shocked tremendously. What's the biggest surprise is that his idea to get him out of the room also gets us off the ranch. Who knew jocks had brains?

"Mom. We are all going to help with the search party." Glen tells his mom as he makes his way over to us.

"Let's go." He says and we all hop in the car and we are on our way.

"What if he doesn't have Spencer?" Leave it to Kyla to bring up an even worse scenario.

"Not sure. Let's just hope he has her." Glen says as he pulls out onto the main road heading towards the hotel.

Thirty minutes later, we are on top of the hill waiting for Mr. C to leave.

"I feel like James Bond." Aiden blurts out from nowhere. We all stare at him. So much for me thinking jocks have brains.

"Look he's leaving." Madison points towards Mr. C's car leaving the parking lot.

We give him a couple of minutes to make sure he's not coming back. Leaving the car on top of the hill, we all walk down towards his hotel room. I'm so nervous with all the what if's running through my mind that I might throw up. Every step I take I'm getting closer to her. I know I am. I can feel it. I can feel her. She's apart of me. Just like that dream, I had last night.

Once we reach the door, Glen tells Madison to hurry and pick the lock. I have never been so glad to be in one of those back woods hick towns before, but they actually use keys instead of those little card key things. Surprisingly, Madison picks the lock with little to no problems.

"Where in." She says and opens the door up.

"Kyla, Aiden. Stay out here and keep and eye out for Mr. C" after telling them what to do. Madison, Glen, and I begin our search through his room.

The first thing I notice is there are two drinks sitting on the table. I do a quick sweep around the room while Glen checks out the bathroom. Madison just sits down on the bed. "I think we missed her." Madison says.

I'm about to comment on her statement when I hear her voice.

"LET ME OUT! PLEASE, LET ME OUT" She is banging on the closet door.

"SPENCER!" I shout as I clear two beds with one jump trying to get to her.

"ASHLEY!" She shouts out almost crying.

"I'm right here Spence. We're going to get you out of there. Hold on."

Madison has already pushed me out of the way, as she starts on the lock. Glen and everyone else join me waiting for the door to be opened. If he's hurt her, I'm gonna kill him.

"Done." Madison says.

The door opens and I'm looking at my love again. I've missed those eyes so much. Before I can get to her though, Glen has pushed everyone out of the way and has a death grip around her. "I was so scared something bad happened to you." Tears are flowing freely down their faces. The brother/sister moment is long lived. Even though I want to hug her and kiss her right now, I know this moment between them is more important.

Finally, they break apart, and Spencer is looking at me with tears and a smile. I'm sure my face mirrors hers. Before anyone can blink, Spencer and I are wrapped in each other. Our tears are soaking each other's shirts. "I've missed you so much. So much." I pull back a little and look into those crystal blue orbs. "I love you." I whisper to her as I wipe away a tear.

"I love you too." She whispers on my lips as she pulls me into a much needed kiss. I have missed those lips.

"I hate to break up this little reunion but we need to get going." Madison brings us back to reality.

Holding onto Spence's hand, we all make our way back to the car on top of the hill. Arthur Carlin is in for a big surprise when we get back.

In the car, we all ride back in silence. My blonde girlfriend is cuddled into me in the backseat, and I have my arms wrapped around her.

Spencer's POV

I'm going home. They found me. I'm not sure how though but they did. Home, where my bed is. Home, where my horse is. Home, where most importantly my mom is. Sure I've only been gone for the three days but those where the worst days of my life so far.

Pulling onto the long drive to the ranch, I notice all the reporters camped out along the way. However, at the house there are none in sight. Parking the car, we all get out and make our way into the house. Ashley still hasn't let go of my hand. I think she's scared if she lets go I'll disappear again.

Everyone walks in before Ash and I. I can hear my mom asking them questions about me since she hasn't seen me yet.

"Any news?" Her voice is hoarse from crying.

Instead of answering though, they all split apart to reveal Ash and I standing behind them. The look on my mom's face is one of happiness and disbelief.

"Spencer." She whispers.

"Mom!" I scream.

I run into her arms, crying. I didn't think I had anymore tears left in me. She's crying too, and we both fall to the floor still holding onto each other. "What happened honey? Were where you?" She cries out.

"Dad" is all I get out before she starts fuming.

"That ASSHOLE!"

She brushes some hair out of my face "you're home and safe. That's all that matters now." She gets up and grabs the phone. "We need to call the police." I nod.

Madison, Kyla, and Aiden all left the room but not before giving me a hug. I guess they felt it was family moment.

Ashley, Glen, and I move over to the couch while we wait for my mom to get off the phone. Ashley has already pulled me into her again. Glen is sitting beside us. We're just waiting for her to get off the phone. She returns a few minutes later.

"I called the sheriff. He's going to arrest Arthur for kidnaping. Then he'll be over here to get a statement from you Spencer." I nod again.

Relaxing into Ash, I sigh. I am home with my family again, and I have my love wrapped around me.
