Aiden looks at Ashley, "Whoa. You were about to kill her."
Glen stands next to Aiden, "Yeah, if I hadn't came along you would've killed mom."
"So? She's not my mom and it would've been a whole lot worse if she was." Ashley says with no regrets.
"I don't really like the fact that you tried to beat up my mom… but I understand the idea of love." Glen says being sweet and nice.
Ashley looks at Glen seriously, "I really love your sister. It's not just the idea of love."
Glen looks at Ashley for a few seconds, "Then, you can't let my mom keep you away from Spencer. I wouldn't let anyone do that to me."
Ashley clenches down on her teeth, "Oh believe me, I'm not letting her do anything to me. I've ran behind your sister for this long, I'm sure as hell not stopping now." Ashley says walking away to her car.
Aiden and Glen watch her watch away, "Just imagine: she was straight. She reeked that fury on guys."
Glen looks at Aiden, "Dude. You just gave me nightmares."
Aiden looks at Glen, "Dude, I went out with her, how do you think I feel?"
Glen takes a few seconds to think about it, "So you created that monster?" Glen pats Aiden's back, "Thanks to you for turning her gay." Glen walks off leaving Aiden dumbfounded and confused. I guess I'll go get a tardy. Why am I always the one to get punished for Spencer and Ashley? Aiden thinks as he walks to student services.
Ashley storms to her car. This is ridiculous; Paula can't keep us away from each other. I think she should keep and mind what happened last time she tried this stupid little stunt. Ashley opens her car door and hops in. I wonder where Mr. C is; he would totally be on me and Spencer's side. Ashley drives out of the student parking lot in anger. And this wasn't the first time.
Spencer let's her mom rant on, "This is going to end. I mean I was fine with this because I thought it was just a teenage phase." Paula looks at Spencer then back at the road; "You don't really need to let the whole world in on your sin."
Spencer sighs, "It's not a sin, mom."
Paula stops at a gas station, "Yes, it is. In the bible it says man and woman. Not man and man, and not woman and woman."
Spencer stares ahead of herself, looking at the people walking into the gas station, "I haven't had the time to read the bible."
Paula looks at Spencer, "I guess we've figured out what you're going to do over Spring Break."
Spencer scoffs, "How about you read it and tell me the ending?"
Paula makes an appalled gasp, "You will not talk to me this way. You will respect your mother… even if you do not respect your god."
Spencer looks at Paula, "You're talking about respect? You don't respect me, why should I respect you?"
"Because I am your mother."
"And I am your daughter. You're suppose to love me for who I am? Whatever happened to that lovely concept?" Spencer says tilting her head and smiling,
Paula narrows her eyes then scoffs; "I'll be back. Do you want anything?" Paula opens the car door.
Spencer thinks about it. What would Ashley do? "Um, can I have my freedom?" Paula shakes her head then gets of the car. She walks to the gas station but not before closing the door behind her and making sure it's locked. Oh, wow it's not like I can't unlock the car from the inside. God forbid that I get out and taint the rest of the world. Spencer rolls her eyes at her thoughts. She places her head on the window but her phone startles her. She flips open her phone, "Hello?"
"Where are you?"
Spencer sighs in relief, "Oh, Ashley. I'm at some gas station. My mom's inside."
"Where? I'm coming to get you." Ashley says. I sound like a knight in shining armor. Well, in my case, a princess in shining armor. Ashley thinks.
Spencer looks around for some type of landmark, "Oh! I'm at the Shell on Grove St. and Main."
Ashley nods, "I'm on my way."
Spencer sighs, "I don't wanna run away…"
"You're not running away."
"It sure feels like it."
"Well, you're not. Listen, if your mom's not accepting your life then she doesn't have to be in it." Ashley says.
Spencer pauses before she speaks then smiles; "Someone's feeling poetic."
Ashley laughs, "Who? Sissy."
Spencer laughs, "Come get me."
Ashley pauses between each word, "I… am… turning… in…. right… now."
Spencer looks for Ashley then spots her car, "Here I come." Spencer unlocks the car then runs over to Ashley's car. As she hops in she sees her mom come out of the store. Paula and Ashley make eye contact; Ashley smirks then drives out of the gas station. Paula just stands there.
Spencer watches her mom as they drive away then turns to Ashley, "This is like the second time we've run off together."
Ashley shakes her head, "Oh, no, that was when we were running away from something. Now we're running to something."
Spencer tilts her head in curiosity, "Where are we going?"
"Like I said, you're helping me with stuff at my house."
Ashley and Spencer drive toward Ashley's house from the gas station, which is about 30 minutes away. They drive until Spencer speaks…
Spencer smiles then it goes away, "I don't know what this means."
"It means that I need your help. Help is when—"
Spencer looks at Ashley; "I mean that kiss."
Ashley looks at Spencer, "Yeah, I don't know what it mean either." She looks back at the road.
"I wanted to kiss you, no doubt about that but, I don't—I'm not sure how—I still don't trust Aiden." Spencer says twisting up her words.
"That's fine. I don't really care about Aiden right now, all I care about is you." Ashley says smiling.
I hope she really means that. She said that weeks ago and I believed her but… here we are. Wait, what about Carmen? Spencer asks herself. "I hope you really mean that."
Ashley places her hand on Spencer's knee, "I do. I really do."
Spencer smiles, "I have to think about Carmen, you know?"
Ashley stops in her driveway, "Why? You knew me way before you knew her. I mean, I know things were crazy but I love you and that's a lot more than like—or whatever she has for you." Ashley says.
Spencer raises one of her eyebrows at Ashley. Ashley looks at Spencer, "Um, huh?"
Ashley takes off her seatbelt, "Well, I don't care if Carmen likes you. I love you and that's definitely on a higher level—"
"Carmen doesn't like me, Ashley. I said that because she's turned into my best friend and I'm not sure how I'm gunna tell her." Spencer says smiling.
Ashley leaves her mouth open, "What?"
Spencer laughs, "She thinks you're smoking hot. We're just friends."
Ashley blinks very slowly, "No. She wants you." Spencer shakes her head, "Well, who does she want?"
Spencer sighs while still smiling, "Well, she wanted you until I filled her in on us and how much we've been through. So she was like okay no. She likes Kyla but you can't tell anyone."
Ashley opens her mouth then says nothing and closes it. She looks up at the sky, then looks back at Spencer, "Whoa."
Spencer smiles, "She never wanted me. She just thought I was beautiful."
Ashley scratches her left eyebrow, "So I've been jealous for no reason?"
"Not for no reason. I guess our plan was to pretty much make you feel how I felt about you and Aiden."
"I don't know if I should be pissed or relieved." Ashley says smiling and laughing.
Spencer smiles and laughs, "Relieved and happy?"
Ashley looks at Spencer then grabs her face to kiss her. They kiss for a few seconds then Ashley backs away slowly, "You're lucky that I love you because with anyone else I wouldn't put up with this." Spencer smiles then goes back in to kiss Ashley. The kiss is cut short by red and blue flashing lights…
Ashley screams through the bars, "This is cruel punishment."
