Chapter 6

Spencer

Sunday came quick for me, I was surprise it did. I know Ashley needs to spend time with Ry, but I miss her when she isn't here. Currently I was driving towards my parents house for Sunday night dinner. My parents didn't say much to me when Ash and I split, but I think they knew there was nothing to say. I know they miss her, she was like a second daughter to them. I pulled in, and I could already smell my fathers cooking.

My parents have met Nicole, and they also knew that she hadn't met Riley yet. I explained that it was on my terms, and when I am ready they will meet. Riley knows I am seeing someone, but she hasn't ask more then that. When I had to tell her that Ash and I were splitting, she just ask why. I couldn't tell her, I didn't want her to hate Ashley.

"Anyone home?" I smiled when my father came around the corner with sauce all over his hands.

"Hey Spencer, how is my favourite daughter?"

"Dad I'm your only daughter" I gave him a hug.

"Yes that's why your my favourite" I laughed, walked towards the back yard to greet everyone. My mom was drinking her wine, like usual.

Glen was playing with Dylan; his and Chelsea's son. They weren't married, but we know Glen was waiting for the right time. They had went through some stuff, but lucky for them they made it through.

"Aunt Spencer!" I gave him a big hug.

"Where is Riley?"

"She is with her mom, she will be here soon. Aunt Ashley is dropping her off after she is done at a birthday party." Soon as I said that I saw all eyes on me.

My family was aware that Ashley and I didn't talk. My parents sometime even met with Kyla to pick up Riley just so I didn't have to see Kyla. They never asked why, and I was happy.

"Ashley is coming here?" My mother asked me, as I took a seat at the table outside.

"Yup" I opened the beer my father gave me, and he took a seat as well.

"That's new" I nodded, I didn't want to talk about this.

"Have you talk to her?" That was Chelsea, she was Ashley friends as well at point. She decided that Since Ashley had Kyla, she should stay on my side of things.

"I saw her when I drop Ri off, she is doing good"

"Well I'm happy you two are talking"

"I'm not, she is a bitch that cheated on you" Glen of course was still pist. I understood why, he was the one that had to hear me cry over her.

"Glen stop, please behave when she gets here" He just rolled his eyes.

"Spencer she treated you like shit, and she wouldn't even give you a divorce. She is a straight up bitch." I played with my bottle.

"Actually she sign the papers, and gave them to me the other night" I swear my mother was going to spit her wine out all over Chelsea.

"Really?"I nodded.

"Why did she finally sign them?" My father, the therapist everyone.

"She was ready I guess" I didn't want to explain to them why, or even about our little conversation.

After a while the conversation turned into something else, I was done talking about my life. Glen told us about how he wants to go back to school to do some upgrading. Chelsea sold more of her paintings, and has asked to show some of her art and some gallery that's famous here in the city. My mother and father were going on the cruise, so they asked me to watch the house. Glen of course wanted to, but they didn't trust him because of last time. He decided to throw a party, and well it didn't end well.

"Mom that was in high school!" I laughed.

"Still, its a no" like I said it really didn't end well. Just then my phoned beeped. Ashley.

We are here

Okay. B right out.

"I'll be right back, Riley is here with Ashley" I got up, when my mother grabbed my hand.

"Spencer she is more then welcome to stay, if you want to invite her" I nodded, and headed around the house to the front yard.

"Mommy, I ate so much cake!" I laughed, and gave her a hug.

"Oh honey you are going to be sick"

"No, I am strong!" I laughed, and smiled when she gave Ashley a hug and kiss. Then took off inside, I looked back over at Ashley.

"Thanks for dropping her off" Ashley nodded, something was wrong.

"No problem, just let me know when I can have her again" she turned to get into the car.

"Ash" She stopped and looked at me.

"Would you like to come in, we have plenty of food"

"Thanks, but I think I'll pass" I nodded.

"Everything okay?" She put her sunglasses on.

"Yeah, I'll see you later Spencer" I watched her get in her car, pulling away.

"Mom! You coming, Papa has pie!" I laughed, she loved her sweets.

We went into the back, and I took a seat in my old spot. I looked over at Riley playing with her cousin, I missed her so much.

"Ash decided not to stay?" I nodded.

"That's too bad, we would have love to see her" my mother said. I decided to text her.

My parents would like to see you sometime, they miss you.

"I don't" of course Glen said that.

"Well everyone dinner is ready, lets get eating"

"Riley dinner is ready, come eat!" She looked over at me and smiled, she loved her papas food just like Ashley.

OK

I looked down at the text, that's all she wrote. Just OK. Something was bothering her, and I knew the reason included me.

"Spencer, no phones. at the dinner table" I nodded and put my phone away.
