:::A/N:::

Wow, I haven't posted in a long time but I have been writing a lot. I've been promising some Roxy-Ashley action and that's... that's soon to come. Not in this chapter though, in the next two for sure. Promise.

So I guess I should recap...

Roxy thinks she's in love with Kyla// Lily's still in the hospital from the car accident // Spencer's with Carmen who is not Ashley//

And I think those are the basics...

Enjoy.

Erika stands up, "No, I won't leave it alone. My gaydar is the shit. Go for it or you really will regret it." Erika turns her head to look at the computer, "Are you ready to go, it's almost three thirty."

I sigh and shake my head then stand up, "Yeah, let's go. I don't want you to be late."

Erika picks her keys up off the computer stand, "Let's go then." she walks to my door and I just stare at her, "C'mon, I have to pick someone up before I go to school."

As I walk to the door she walks away from me, downstairs. She reaches the bottom of the stairs and just looks up at me as I'm slowly coming down the stairs, "Fine." I say, thinking she wants me to move faster so I start to skip steps. I hope off the final stair, smiling at her, "Ready."

She rolls her eyes and heads to the door, "Let's G-O, go." She walks to the door and I follow two feet behind her until I hear a buzzing sound, or beeping, I'm really not sure.

"Hold on one second." I say then walk into the dining room where no one dines. My dad uses it like an office, all his papers are scattered all over the long brown table. I stand in the doorway to look for the buzzing/beeping object. I mean, I don't wanna just walk in and have something attack me, like a bee or something, I'm deathly afraid of bees.

I squint my eyes as they wonder all over the table—ah-ha, it's a cell phone. I walk around the table to go get it. I pick it up to look at it. Apparently my father is a very popular man because on his missed calls log I see nothing but women names. Cindy, Michelle, Erin, April... the only name that could pass for a dudes' name is Erin but I doubt it.

My dad's a cheater, it's fine. I guess my mom would be unbearable after twenty years of a psycho marriage but it's one of those situations where they're "staying together for the kids". I think that only works when the kids don't know that their parents are cheating on one another. Whatever, I never had an idea in my head that my parents were perfect, far from it, actually.

So either my dad's somewhere in the house or he's close by. Or he might be on his way back here to get his cell. His cell's just as important to him as mine is to me, that's where the similarities between us come in... probably the only one, actually. I decide to put the phone back down on the table and get out of here before I run into him, it's always so awkward since I got back from camp. Maybe one day I'll talk to him about it, when things aren't as crazy as they are now.

I walk back to the front door only to see Erika leaning on the door talking to someone on her cell, "...look, I don't wanna talk right now I—that's none of your business why...ugh, you're such a jackass sometimes, Meg, this is why we broke—" she pauses and gets this appalled look on her face which is followed by an angry face, "No, I'm not talking about this now. Get over it, I'll talk to you later." Erika just hangs up her phone without waiting for the other person to say anything. Wow, angry Erika... hot but I would not fuck with her now.

"You, uh, ready to go? Or do you wanna go punch something?" I say quietly.

It takes her a while to respond, she takes her attention from her thoughts then looks at me, "What?" she processes my question, "Yeah, let's go." She turns around to face the door then unlocks all the locks the swings the door open. Luckily I catch the door before it slams into the wall, my mom would probably have a heart attack or she'd just take it as a sign to refurnish the house.

I watch Erika walk to her car, get in then slam the door before I close the front door and lock it. She's scary, but scary hot. God, why is there no spark between us!

After having Erika drive me around for five minutes in silence I finally have to say something, "So... you're scary." simple.

She stops at a stoplight so she glances away from the road to look at me, "What?" she says like I just uttered fighting words. I guess she notices this because she sighs and says it sweeter, "Sorry, what'd you say?"

"I said you're scary."

She smiles, "Yeah, sorry about that. My ex-girlfriend."

"So she really pissed you off? I get that." I say relating to her exasperation.

The light turns green so she directs her attention to the road but she still talks to me, "Ever since we broke up she just—just can't stay out of my life. I mean, every once in a while we get together and... you know but I always say that it means nothing at the very beginning." she sighs, "It's just really annoying to have someone breathing down your neck all the time, watching your every move."

I smile, "That's how a felt at 'Sinner's camp'." she laughs, "When we were supposed to be reading from the bible I always stared elsewhere, usually at one of the camp counselor's cleavage."

She laughs, "You could look but you couldn't touch right?" she says turning a corner.

I laugh, "Actually...no."

"No?" she says confused.

I laugh harder, "I... had relations with one of the counselors."

"You turned her gay?" Erika laughs.

I shake my head, "No, she was supposed to be 'reformed'," I use air quotes, "but I guess I 'formed' her. I don't know if that's the word. All the counselors they were, at some point, into the same sex and they supposedly became 'normal'." There goes those air quotes again, "Yeah, right. There was basically nothing but sex happening there. It was only when you got caught doing something you weren't supposed to when they decided to get super religious. That's what made me so fucking screwed up. I hated that place but at the same time I kinda appreciated it... great, experienced camp counselors." I smile big.

She laughs, "That's just... crazy, there's only one word for that."

I shrug, "I'd said awesomely hellish or hellishly awesome. It sucked but it rocked, the ultimate contradiction." I have to smile, that's kinda of like a big word for me.

She smiles at me while we wait at another stoplight, "I like it, maybe I should go there."

I shake my head, "No, I would never wish that place one anyone, not even Ashley, who I supposedly hate."

"Ashley Davies..." is all she says then sighs, "Such a hand full."

I nod slowly while staring blankly out of the front window, "She's like twelve handfuls and a shot of tequila." I say laughing then look at Erika; she smiles, "So what happened with you and Ashley anyways? I mean all you told me was you hung out and stuff, what's the stuff part?"

The light turns green as Erika clears her throat, she drives, "We were friends."

"Just friends?" I ask because I'm nosey.

I look at her just in time to see her roll her eyes, "No."

I expected that, I'm not at all surpised.

Who would be surprised? Lol. Any ideas on what went down between Erika and Ashley?
