Tear Down The Stars- Chapter 12

Ashley's P.O.V

The rest of the weekend sucked! I miss my freedom so much right now especially as I have a good reason to escape this prison. That reason comes in the shape of Spencer Carlin. After her impromptu visit on Saturday we hung out for a while until Julia came home and then she had to leave. We spent the rest of the weekend texting which is all very new to me, not texting but actually replying to a girl. Normally I ignore them or change my number when I get fed up of the constant texts. Most of our conversations were dumb but some of it was insightful and I managed to find out a little bit more about Miss Carlin. For example she loves cheetos (who doesn't?), she is horrible at all sports, she cannot sing but she loves music, she actually believes in unicorns (too cute) and she can be extremely flirty when she wants to be. Every time my phone buzzes I get excited and I can't help but wonder what happened to my 'normal' self. It doesn't matter any because new Ashley is up and out of bed an hour before school is due to start. Now this is for a number of reasons before you automatically assume that my personality is completely Spencer related. I have regained car privileges thanks to Julia's input so I am mobile again and no longer reliant on Kyla. More importantly Spencer is letting me pick her up and take her to school so yes the main reason for the my early morning is mostly Spencer related but at least let me believe I have some coolness left in me.

I enter the kitchen I smile as I see the twins sat eating their fruit in near silence. I pour a coffee for myself and take a seat opposite them.

"Hey monsters"

"Hey Ashwee" Taylor and Darcy reply in unison with their normal smiles.

"Big plans today?" I ask and they nod their heads.

"Yea Spencer is back today and on Mondays we play in the pool" Taylor explains excitedly. I smile to myself for a number of reasons ranging from the sheer joy that Spencer brings to the twins and also the wonderful fact that I get to see Spencer in her bikini later today...my day is complete.

"You be here later Ash?" Darcy asks.

"Definitely...wouldn't miss it for the world" I tell them as I give them both a kiss before I leave.

"Raise Hell Ashwee" They both scream as I leave laughing to myself. I climb into my car and take the short drive to Spencer's. I'm there before I know it and I realise that I'm way too early. I decide that I should probably park a bit further down the street and just wait in my car. As I pull up I hear my cell ringing and smile when I see Spencer's name appear on the screen.

"Hey Spencer"

"Why are you sat outside my neighbours house?" She questions and I immediately feel dumb. I look up to her bedroom window and I see her smiling at me so I wave.

"I was early" I mutter feeling embarrassed.

"Get in here loser" She instructs and then hangs up. I pull up the short distance to her drive way and climb out the car. As I make my way to the front door I bump into Glen who looks less than happy to see me. Great.

"Why are you here?" He asks not even pretending to be pleasant.

"I'm here to pick up Spencer" I tell him remembering that I could actually destroy his social standing at King if I wanted to.

"I can take her to school" He replies in a low tone.

"Pretty sure she'd rather ride with me" I smirk.

"She's dumber than I thought then" He mutters just loud enough for me to hear him. I look up at him and I am prepared to kick his ass if I need to.

"What is your problem Glen? You still bitter that I turned you down? Or are you jealous that your sister is cooler than you will ever be?Or did you prefer it when she was getting picked on? Although you weren't so vocal then were you big shot?" I seem to remember calling him on his lack of protection when it came to Spencer all those years ago and I can tell by his eyes that I have hit a nerve.

"You are my problem Ashley! You made Spencer's life hell back then and suddenly you're her best friend or whatever" Glen snaps back which just pisses me off even more.

"Glen I have owned up to my part in that and I have apologised to Spencer. You ever considered doing that? Or was she okay with you standing by and letting me do that shit to her? Also lets not forget your girlfriends part in everything so back the hell off" I'm angry now and when I'm angry I see nothing but my target. I already feel guilty for how I treated Spencer and I do not need reminding of my behaviour especially by him. He looks at me and I know her wants to say something back but he doesn't have the chance because Spencer is now next to us looking between us with a concerned expression on her face.

"What are you two talking about?" She questions as she continues to look between us.

"Glen here was just telling me how happy he is to see me" I joke as I step closer to Spencer.

"Glen leave Ashley alone" Spencer tells him in no uncertain manner. She then takes me by the hand and pulls me inside before he can say anything else. She shuts the door and before I have a moment to process what is happening her lips are on mine and I am lost. All the drama with Glen leaks from my now Spencer consumed brain and I am happy again. I am smiling into the kiss and so is Spencer even after she pulls away.

"I could get used to that kind of greeting" I whisper not because I am trying to be quiet but because I am still slightly breathless.

"Just wanted to take your mind off Glen" She tells me and I smile because she is so sweet.

"Who?" I joke as I place a peck on her lips. Just then her Mother appears in the hall way and we jump apart.

"Morning Ashley" She says with a smirk and I know I am blushing.

"Morning Mrs Carlin" I finally reply and I am praying I'm not as red as I feel.

"Please call me Paula. Anyway I have to go so I will see you later young lady and Ashley I will see you tomorrow about the same time" Paula laughs as she exits through the front door leaving me stood there feeling like a complete idiot.

"Kill me now" I sigh as the door closes. Spencer just bursts out laughing and I can't help but smile with her.

"She's seen worse" Spencer states as she heads into the kitchen leaving me completely gob smacked in the hall way. I snap myself out of my shock and head into the kitchen. I could never imagine Spencer getting up to naughty stuff with other girls but then again I had never spent much time thinking about Spencer with other girls. She's totally hot so I can't imagine that she would have any issues in that department.

"How worse?" I have to ask despite the stabbing feeling in my stomach. She turns her attention towards me and smirks.

"Ashley are you jealous?" She asks I think she might be right. I'm a jealous, she hasn't even asked my question and I know I am jealous.

"No just curious" I hope I can still lie convincingly. She quirks an eyebrow at me and offers me a coffee which I happily take.

"You are a terrible liar Miss Davies and I am pleading the fifth so drop it" Spencer leans in a places a kiss on my cheek which makes me forget about this jealousy thing. I have no right to be jealous because god knows I haven't exactly abstained from sex in the past. Who am I kidding? I spent most of my time actively seeking it at least once I came out I did anyway before that I avoided sex especially with boys.

"So are you ready for school?" I ask changing the subject completely and see seems grateful.

"Can't wait" She replies sarcastically and I giggle.

"Come on lets get going" I pull her hand towards me and we make our way to my car.

The drive to school isn't long at all and we mostly talk about crap during the journey. As I pull in to my normal parking space I notice a few strange looks as people see Spencer in my passenger seat. She sees them too and gives me an eye roll. I press the button that puts the top back on my car and we sit in silence until it finally clicks into place.

"So how do we do this?" She's looking at me with those beautiful blue eyes and she is praying that I have an answer to her question. She wants to know how we act towards each other while at school and by now I should have an answer because I have spent A LOT of time thinking about it. I think I am supposed to reassure her and tell her what she needs to hear.

"We just act normal Spencer. We act how any other two people would act in our situation. We maybe flirt a little, we can maybe have lunch together and maybe, just maybe we can have slutty kissing sessions in the bathroom or janitors closet. I know that going a whole day without kissing me will be difficult for you" I'm trying my best to lighten the situation because I don't want either of us to feel pressured. She smiles at me in the sweetest way I have ever seen and leans in to kiss me. I don't even consider the crowds of students because her lips are on mine and that is all that matters. As she pulls away she smiles and I feel my heart actually melt a little bit more.

"Okay let's go" I'm glad that my words helped and I just hope that we can get through the day without much drama. I take a deep breathe and I prepare myself for my Ashley Davies strut. I have spent many years perfecting this strut and it is well known. I climb out of the car and so does Spencer. A see the looks on peoples faces and I smile because this is what I'm used to. Spencer is by my side and we make our way towards the quad. Spencer looks a little bit unsure so I give her a little friendly nudge which makes her smile again.

I spot Madison who is sat with Glen and he is glaring at us like he wants to kill me. I see Madison smack him on the arm and I can't help but smile. Kyla waves us over so we make our way towards her and Aiden who is just smiling like the idiot he is.

"You got your car back?" Kyla asks I am so grateful for her subject choice.

"I have indeed, still totally grounded though" I mumble hating that I am being held captive in my own house. I can barely remember what I did to deserve the punishment.

"You're lucky Dad didn't ship your ass off this time Ash. So Spencer you looking after the twins tonight?" Kyla is a good sister most of the time but I really appreciate the effort that she is making with Spencer.

"Yep I have them every night this week actually" Spencer replies with her trademark smile and I know that I am staring so I snap myself out of my daze hoping that nobody noticed.

"Cool well I might pop over a few nights this week and spend some time with them if that's cool?"

"Kyla you don't have to ask to spend time with the twins"

"Okay well we better get going we have English lit now ladies" Kyla informs us and I am happy to follow. I don't mind English Lit but now I love it because I get to stare at Spencer for a whole hour. I know I'm a perv and slightly stalkerish but I don't care. We get into the classroom and Kyla goes to sit next to Spencer but I bump her out of the way.

"Ash that's my seat" Kyla whines at me but I don't care whose seat it is because it's next to Spencer and I want it. I can see Spencer laughing next to me as Kyla tries to stare me down. I'm stubborn and I am not going anywhere.

"Ugh fine sit there but try to remember who normally sits to the left of me" Kyla smirks as she takes the seat behind us that I normally occupy. I have no idea what she is talking about until I see Carmen walking into the room and then I remember. I feel Spencer shift in her seat and I have no idea how this is going to go down. Spencer has the information about Carmen and I wasn't able to gauge how she felt about it when I told her and we haven't spoken about it since. Carmen is staring at me, great and now she's smiling that creepy smile at Spencer...why is Spencer smiling back?

"Hey I'm sorry I didn't call you back yesterday Carlin I was busy" Carmen is standing in front of Spencer's desk and is now completely ignoring my existence. Why was Spencer calling her?

"It's fine...I erm just wanted to ask you something but it doesn't matter now" Spencer sounds nervous and seems to be ignoring me as well. I watch the exchange and I know I can't hide my confusion.

"You should have said if it was something important Spencer you know I would've dropped everything for you" Excuse me while I vomit on my desk especially now Carmen is kneeling in front of Spencer's desk obviously trying to make the conversation more private. I am leaning as close as I can without actually falling off my chair.

"Well it's not important right now" Not important? The bitch let you take the fall for something that didn't happen! Carmen reaches her hand up and places it on Spencer's.

"Carlin I've missed seeing you" Carmen is really looking at Spencer now and I have that feeling again. I think I'm going to pass out any second now. Luckily Spencer snatches her hand away from Carmen's grubby little mitts and I can almost breathe again.

"Sorry I've been spending a lot of time with Ashley recently" Did she just say that? Oh wait she's smiling at me and I already know that I'm smiling back at her like an idiot.

"CARMEN CAN YOU TAKE YOUR SEAT PLEASE?" That's our teacher and I am more than grateful for the interruption. Carmen huffs and returns to her seat scowling at me along the way. I smirk at her in my normal cocky manner letting her know that I heard everything that was just said.

Throughout the class I see Carmen trying to catch Spencer's attention but she had no luck. Every now and again I would a smile from Spencer and I would smile back because I can't help myself. When the bell rings to signal the end of class I stand up and I am next to Spencer before Carmen can even register the bell ringing. I decide that I kind of want to rub Carmen's face in it a little bit so I go in guns blazing.

"I'm carrying your books Spencer and you can't complain" I say it like that because I know she will argue with me and trust me when I say I know how lame carrying somebodies books is but for Spencer's it's worth it.

"Okay but I feel that it's my duty to point out that this isn't the 1950's and we're not 'courting'" She laughs at me and I feign hurt but I still pick up her books. I know Carmen is watching the interaction and I don't care because Spencer is looking at me.

"No but we are making out on a regular basis" I lean over and whisper this in her ear because I am not stupid enough to say something like that out loud just to make somebody jealous. Spencer's breath hitches in her throat and she gives me a 'look' that I am really starting to appreciate. She grabs my hand and pulls me out of the classroom. We both have a free period so we don;t have to worry about being late. The hall way is still busy so we try to act casual. I find the ladies and we head inside where there are a few freshman girls stood around talking. I don't even need to shout or demand I just give them a look and they leave. As soon as the door closes behind them and the bell signals the start of class my lips are on her. I push her into a cubicle just to be on the safe side and our bodies slam against the wall. We still don't break the kiss and it's becoming more passionate, my hands on her hips and I am pulling her into my body. Our breathing is becoming more and more ragged but neither of us seem to care. Her hands on under my shirt and she just scraped her nails down my spine. My self control just got worse especially as I have only just realised that Spencer is wearing a tiny skirt. Every x rated thought that I could have regarding Spencer in a short skirt race through my brain and I feel like I am going to explode. She moves her hands so that they are tangled in my hair and I use all my inner strength to not hitch up her skirt and have my way with her. I finally pull away and we stand there breathing heavily just looking at each other with dark eyes. She has never looked so hot to me and I pray for the strength to refrain from rushing into sex like I normally do.

"We need to stop" She pants and I nod my head in agreement.

"Spencer you're too hot" I tell her and she laughs at me.

"I'm serious Spencer I think I nearly had a heart attack just then"

"That was nothing Davies" She whispers in my ear before making her way out of the cubicle leaving me stood there far too turned on to move. I watch her as she checks her hair in the mirror and then she looks at me with that sweet smile again and I have no idea how she can go from being so incredibly sexy to being the sweetest person I have ever laid on.

"I'll catch up with you at lunch" I tell her as she obviously waiting for me to join her. She giggles and nods her agreement then leaves me which I am grateful for. It gives me time to compose myself or at least to be less flushed. I can't believe the effect she has on me and I know that I am becoming addicting to her, there's not denying it and I know that she's on to me.
