A/N: Chapter 5 Up. Inspired by Fleetwood Mac's song Go Your Own Way. Sorry if the flow of this chapter is a bit slow. Hopefully the end would make up for it.

New character is basically Lucy Diamond minus the whole Bad Ass Master Criminal thing. Hope you guys like it.

Again I do not own the characters. Please R&R . Your comments and suggestions are appreciated. :)


Loving you
Is it the right thing to do?
How can I ever change things
That I feel?

*flashback*

"Why does it hurt so much?" Spencer sighs as she sat in front of her friends. "Why can't I get her off my mind Aid? What's wrong with me?"

The man looked sympathetically at her friend. It has been a week since "Ashleygate" as he'd like to call it and she can see that her friend's still very upset about the whole situation.

"First of all Spence, I don't think anything's wrong with you." He began. "And there's only one reason I can give you for all your questions. You love her. You love her so much that it hurts."

"Way to cheer her up Aiden." Kyla said sarcastically as she smacked her boyfriends head. "Hey Spence, it's going to be ok you know that right? You guys will find your way back as soon as my stupid sister gets her head out of her ass."

The last comment earned a chuckle from the blonde. "What will I ever do without you Ky?" She said as she hugged the short brunette. "You too Aid." She said as she gave her muscular friend a hug as well.

But as they all fell into a comfortable silence Spencer began thinking of what Aiden said. She did love Ashley, and that was why she was so hurt. She knew that something wrong was going to happen the moment she realized that she was falling in love with her best friend. Sometimes she just wanted her feelings to change so that it wouldn't be so hard anymore.

'If it were only that simple', Spencer thought.

Tell me why
Everything turned around


After brunch, Ashley and Spencer decided to hangout more and catch up for old time's sake. They decided to spend the afternoon in Spencer's apartment.

As Spencer was about to open the door to her apartment, a brunette came rushing out of the unit. Spencer was startled and dropped her keys.

"Oh sorry babe, didn't know you were coming home." The brunette began as she eyed Ashley who was suddenly becoming very interested at something in the floor. "Hi I'm Lucy," the girl said as she extended her hand to Ashley.

Ashley grabbed the hand that was offered, "Ashley," she mumbled,

Lucy stood their trying to think about the name and where she heard that from. Lucy looked at Spencer who was just staring at her and Ashley with a hint of smile in her face. Then it hit her.

"Oh sooo you're Ashley." Lucy began as she began smiling like a Cheshire cat. "Well I'd love to stay and chat but I really need to go. We'll talk later Spence, and nice to meet you Ashley."

With that Lucy gave Spencer a kiss in the cheek and ran down the flight of stairs leaving the two friends standing in the hallway. Spencer signaled for Ashley to enter the door and directed her to the couch.

"Soo Lucy." Ashley began not sure how to go about the subject. "She seems nice. Where'd you guys meet?"

Spencer knew what Ashley was thinking. Since Spencer was in a playful mood, she decided to just be as vague as possible when answering questions regarding the other brunette in her life.

"Yup, she's super nice." Spencer began trying to sound as dreamy as possible. "We met about a year ago while I was starting to get some clients for photography. She's also a photographer and she taught me quite a few things, if you know what I mean." Spencer said while wiggling her eyebrows at Ashley.

Ashley's eyes look like they were about to pop out of her head. She couldn't believe that Spencer just hinted on something sexual about her and Lucy. She gets that the blonde has moved on without her but she need not here all these things.

Spencer felt a little guilty with the game that she was playing and decided to finally explain to Ashley who Lucy is. "Lucy's my business partner and roommate Ash." Spencer said trying to hide the amusement in her voice. "She was kinda the person who picked me up when I was so down." Spencer's tone changed as she said the last words, remembering how supportive Lucy was during the dark ages.

Although relieved at the fact that Lucy was just Spencer's roommate and business partner, Ashley still felt a pang in her heart when Spencer mentioned Lucy's role in the blonde's life. In essence the tall brunette took Ashley's place in Spencer's life and that made her feel really bad.

"I'm sorry," the blonde began. "I didn't mean to make this uncomfortable. Let's just not talk about that. We should try and get past that."

"No it's okay Spence, we should talk about it, but I don't think I'm really up to it now." Ashley said as she started to stand up from the couch. "I think I better go. Let's meet up for dinner if you're free?" shed said hopefully.

Spencer was a little startled with Ashley's sudden change of mood but knew better than to question it. She agreed to dinner and bid Ashley good bye.

She knew that Ashley and her still had a lot of things to discuss and one day of hanging out with her wouldn't solve anything. She knew that they still had a long way to go in repairing their relationship but she wishes that even if they have different ways of handling everything, they'd still find their way back to each other cause as much as she hated to admit it, she can't handle another lonely day without Ashley in her life.

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
go your own way
