Chapter 20
"SPENCER????SPENCE YOU IN HERE?" Aiden yelled as he searched through the apartment hoping that Spencer had come straight home but he couldn't find her but he did manage to trip over he suitcase in her bedroom. "Son of a bitch" Aiden snapped as he kicked the case on the floor. Aiden grabbed his cell phone anad speed dialled Spencer's number hoping that she'll actually answer her phone now but just like the times before that it went to voicemail. He was really worried about Spencer because she had left Mexico before she even told him anything and now she was m.i.a which scared him. He had done this routine far too many times when Spencer was hurting or angry but it was even worse when he didn't know what she was feeling. He had text everybody they knew hoping that she may have escaped for a while to somebody who wasn't involved in the situation. Finally his phone buzzed showing Spencer's name on the i.d.
"Spence where are you?"
"I'm at the bar"
"How long you been there for?"
"Only for 5 vodkas and a few pints"
"Since when do you drink pints of beer?"
"Is that really relevant Aiden?"
"Ok what do you want to talk about?"
"I don't want to talk I just want to drink. I'm so over talking and feeling hence the booze"
"Come on Spence just come home and we can just hang"
"Just come to the bar and we can hang here...please"
"Ok I'll be there in a while...do not leave and get me a drink ready" Aiden hung up the phone and grabbed his jacker to go to Spencer.

"Ally can I have a Corona please?" Spencer yelled to other side of the bar.
"Ok you haven't drank like this since Colby"
"Sorry I thought you were a bar maid not a detective" Spencer quipped in jest.
"Yea a barmaid with the right to refuse to serve you so play nice Carlin" Ally laughed handing over the bottle.
"You would never bar me and you know it"
"I saw the photos of you and that rock star"
"I didn't have you pegged as the gossip column kind of girl"
"I'm not but Colby was in here showing everybody the story she sold"
"I forgot she'd sold her story...god that bitch. Oh well it doesn't matter now"
"Trouble in paradise city?"
"Just another Colby with softer eyes and a sweeter smile"
"So it's over?"
"Ended in a different country"
"Impressive"
"That's not really how I saw it"
"Well, it sucks but at least ou can say you fucked a rock star"
"The whole world knows I've been fucking a rock star and I wish they didn't because the humilation level is even higher this time. At least with Colby it was only a small percentage of L.A lesbians that gave a fuck but now it's random people"
"Fuck them Spence...I'm sure if it was anything like what happened with Colby you won't be the bad guy in the twisted little scenario"
"I wasn't the one getting cosy with some random chick by the pool while she was in bed so I'm definately not the bad guy"
"Ouch that really does suck"
"What sucks even more is that I knew it was going to happen. I mean she's a rock star who has had girls hand delivered to her by brother for the last few years"
"Ok that's fucked up and I'm not a all jealous...I have to pick up my own girls" Ally was trying her best to lighten Spencer's mood with her little jokes.
"There you are" Aiden announced as he sat next to Spencer at the bar.
"Hey Aiden" Ally said as she passed him a bottle of Corona.
"Hey Ally how you doing?"
"Better than this one" Ally replied as she walked off to collect some glasses giving them some time to talk.
"So I spoke to Ashley after you abandoned me in Mexico" Aiden mentioned hoping to get Spencer talking.
"Lucky you"
"Why didn't you tell me or at least wait for me?"
"Because....ugh...I didn't want Ashley to go to the airport on her own plus it literally just happened before you got up so I didn't have time to make any sensible plans"
"So even after you thought she had cheated on you you still thought about her best interests?"
"I was just doing my job"
"Don't lie Carlin...you still care"
"No I'm done caring Aiden. I was just doing my job and on monday I'll be handing in my 2 weeks notice so that I still get paid. At least something positive will come from this fucked up summer"
"I don't think she did anything Spence" Aiden admitted hoping that Spencer didn't go crazy at him.
"You didn't see what I saw Aiden. She may not have actually fucked her that I know of but the intent and passion was there. That's how it starts....they look at other girls and than they're fucking other girls"
"Well she cried pretty much the whole plane ride"
"Oh well so did I so no sympathy here dude"
"So that's it then?You're just going to work side by side for 2 weeks and not feel anything?"
"Actually while crying on the plane I figured out that I can do my job mostly from home via email and text messages. This was we won't have to see each other and we won't even have to talk to each other directly. It's the perfect break up contingency plan"
"Ok I am impressed with the amount of effort you've put into your plan and if this is what you want then I'm with you 100% but I think you should at least talk Ashley. Even if you just get mad at her and yell at least then you will be dealing with this shit"
"I am dealing with this with organisation and alcohol. So you can either jump on board or step out of my way?"
"You're my best friend and I love you but I think you are crazy...I'm in but I have some rules of my own"
"Ok explain"
"I am still allowed to talk to Ashley if the occasion arises"
"Ok"
"That was easier than I thought"
"You're my best friend and I love you so I have to let you have your way sometimes but only sometimes Dennison"
"Thanks Spence"
"So how did it go with Kyla?"
"I'm not sure she left before I woke up and I didn't get her digits"
"Loser" Spencer joked playing hitting her best friend who she knew would make her smile again no matter how much it hurt. All she had to was get through the next two weeks and then she could gte back her life that she had before she met Ashley Davies.
