Just to clarify as much as I wish I had written the song in the last chapter I didn't. It was actually written by the wonderful Alanis Morrisette and is called Everything...check it out. Anyway now that I've covered my ass from being sued I just want to thank you all for reading my little story and also apologise for the long pauses but I write when I can. Please keep reading and reviewing otherwise I have no idea if I should keep writing. Keep smiling and reading xoxo

Chapter 23

Ashley didn't want to pull away from the kiss fearing that it would end forever which is the last thing she wanted. It felt so perfect having Spencer in her arms and she knew that she wasn't going to mess this up no matter how hard it was going to be. Ashley's heart sank as Spencer pulled away from the embrace.

"Wow" was all Ashley could manage making Spencer giggle.

"Yea...now what?" Spencer asked hoping that Ashley would have all the answers or at least some of them.

"Now I need to tell you something and I need you to stay calm while I'm telling you" Ashley confessed with a lot of hesitation in her voice and her heart. She knew that she had to tell Spencer everything about Jamie and Glen because there was no way that she was going into this with Spencer lying or with any secrets.

"Just tell me Ash" Spencer begged hoping that this thing wasn't as big and scary as Ashley was making it out to be.

"Well you know Jamie?"

"Ok I can't promise I'm going to stay calm" Spencer snapped at the mention of Jamie's name.

"Just let me finish. After you left the studio the other day I went to get a coffee and she was there"

"No offence Ash but why would I want to know this?"

"Well she was there with Glen"

"What?"

"I think that maybe Glen had something to do with her being in Mexico...maybe not I'm not sure but I just thought it was weird"

"I'm going to kill him....I'm actually going to kill him!" Spencer said calmly as she grabbed her cell phone from her pocket. Ashley grabbed the phone from Spencer before she did anything she may regret.

"Look Spence I know that you're probably a little pissed off and I am aswell but yelling at Glen over the phone won't help"

"You're right...I'm going to his place and do not try to stop me" Spencer demanded as she walked towards the car. Ashley followed knowing that all she should do is shut up and drive. The drive over to Glen's was pretty much silent apart from teh odd rant from Spencer about how much she was going to hurt her older Ashley pulled up outside of Glen's place Spencer didn;t even wait for the car to completely stop. In fact she was already banging on Glen's door before Ashley turned off the engine. Ashley ran up to calm Spencer down so she didn't do anything stupid but it was too late because Glen had already opened the door in his boxers which reminded Ashley that it was about 2 in the morning.

"What the hell Spence?"Glen yelled as he rubbed his eyes trying to wake up. Spencer didn't respond instead she shoved her older brother to the ground knwoing that this would be her only chance to cause any psyhical harm to him as he was a lot bigger than her.

"How dare you do something so under handed and horrible" Spencer yelled as she stood over Glen who still looked abit shell shocked

"What are you talking about?"Glen yelled back as he tried to get back up.

"Do not play stupid Glen because there is no way that you have done more than one dispicable thing this week"

"I thought you two had broken up?" Glen asked looking at Ashley who was lurking behind Spencer.

"You're little plan didn't work Glen"

"What plan?"

"Paying that little whore to seduce Ashley" Spencer yelled with tears threatening to fall.

"Ok seriously Spence I have no idea what you're talking about"

"Glen I know you paid Jamie to go to Mexico and break us up"

"Jamie?"

"Glen I saw you two together at the studio" Ashley butted in hoping to get the scene over and done with.

"You mean the new receptionist?"

"Whatever you want to call her"

"I only met her at the studio for the first time and I would never deliberately do anything to hurt you like that Spence"

"Glen you have pretty much hated me since Clay died and you had the perfect chance to screw me over...I don't blame you"

"Spencer I have never and will never hate you. I love you so much and the I swear to you that I had nothing to do with this set up that you're talking about" Glen moved closer to Spencer and pulled her into a hug.

"I'm sorry Spence I thought it was him" Ashley confessed.

"It wasn't me guys....in fact I handed in my notice today because I hate the way that they treat Ashley especially when it effects my baby sister"

"I'm so sorry Glen and seriously do not quit. You love your job and you're good at it" Ashley said as she took Spencer's hand in her own.

"Thanks Ash but I'm done with that shit plus this whole thing just goes to prove that we both work for complete bastards"

"Mom and Dad are going to kill you" Spencer laughed as she thought about the conversation Glen would have to have with their parents.

Ashley couldn't help but admire Glen's guts and bravery for quitting a job that didn't make him happy. She knew deep down that she hated what she was doing or at least who she was doing it for. Spencer Carlin had made her realise that she was unhappy and that the only way to be happy would be for her to do it herself and her way which led to her next outburst.

"It's ok he won't have to have the conversation with your parents" Ashley announced with a huge smile as if everything in her life had just started to make sense.

"What do you mean?" Spencer and Glen asked in unison.

"I mean that Glen I want you to work for me"

"What?" Once again both Carlin siblings asked with confusion at the same time.

"Catch up Carlins!!!Spence I want to do what you said I should"

"Which is?"

"I'm starting my own label"

"Are you sure?"

"I've never been so sure in my life Spence. I have the money and Glen knows what he is doing...or at least I hope he does. It makes perfect sense and I couldn't think of a better time for me to do this"

"What about your contract?"

"They've already made it very clear that they don't want to represent a lesbian especially not one that is proud of who they are and who they're with plus after the whole Jamie thing I'm pretty sure I can get somebody over a barrell"

"Why don't you guys go home to bed and think about this and then call me in the morning" Glen offered hoping that Ashley wouldn;t change her mind but he wanted to make sure that she was sure as this was a huge decision.

"Come on pretty girl let's go" Ashley said as she pulled Spencer towards the car so she could take her home.

By the time they got back to Spencer's apartment Ashley had to pretty much carry Spencer up the stairs because she was practically asleep.

"You staying?" Spencer asked as they entered the bedroom.

"If you want me to?"

"More than anything" Spencer replied with a kiss which she knew would convince Ashley to stay the night.

"Well I don't have any pj's" Ashley joked.

"Trust me you won't need them Davies" Spencer replied with a raised eyebrow and dirty smirk.

"Oh yea why's that?"

Spencer didn't reply instead she started to take off her clothes until she had only her underwear on. Ashley couldn't hide her absolute delight at the semi naked girl in front of her and took the opportunity to explore Spencer's incredible body with her hands.

"Well I can't leave you all alone and naked can I?" Ashley asked in between kisses and with baited breath.

"Definately not" Spencer answered with the same desperation and passion as Ashley.

2 YEARS LATER

"Are you ready for this?" Spencer asked a nervous looking Ashley as she paced around the room.

"It's been nearly two years since I performed" Ashley replied looking as if she may vomit at any time.

"Yea but you're ready now and I know that it's taken a while for all this to happen but all those people out there are here because they have missed you and your music so go give them what they want Davies" Spencer tried her best to calm her fiance down but knew that her words would fall on deaf ears because Ashley was too stubborn to listen most of the time.

"Still can't do it Spence"

"Ok try imagining that you are just singing to me like that night outside the bar. It's just me and you with nobody else in the world. You're just singing to me about you and me..just like that night. I'm going to be right here watching you and falling even more in love with you" Spencer tried finishing her speech with a kiss.

"ON BEHALF OF SPASHLEY RECORDS PLEASE WELCOME ASHLEY DAVIES" The voice over interrupted the couple and pulled Ashley out of her nervous trance. Almost automatically she switched to performer Ashley and her confidence was overwelhming. Ashley strutted on to the stage with her guitar as the small crowd errupted into cheers and gratitude for Ashley as if she had never been away from the music charts. Ashley took her place in front of the micro phone and took a deep breath.

"Thanks for coming out and thanks for waiting for me. I know it's been a while but it's totally going to be worth the wait. Anyway I'm going to shut up and get on with my job. This song is called everything and I wrote it a few years ago for my incredible fiance.....enjoy" Ashley didn't waste anytime and went straight into the song that had won her Spencer back a few years ago. As Ashley played the song she looked around the stage and saw the people that had made the law suits and struggles all worth it. Standing to the side of the stage was Spencer, Glenn, Aiden and Kyla the four people who had made this possible but in the end it all came down to the one person that made it all worth while... Spencer Carlin.
