Whoo here's the next chapter for you all.
Spencer had walked home perfectly happy with the events of the day she smiled at the thought of being with Lucius. She laughed at a conversation they had while she was getting their stuff from the rock.
"You'd think you'd get some swim trunks or a Speedo, you're in California for god sakes."
"I'm sorry pet I don't do much swimming, and I still can't believe that I'm down here and you're up there and I'm in my underwear,"
"Well like I said before we couldn't swim in our clothes and I wouldn't want you to fall and break your neck, then what would we do?" She said climbing down.
"You'd have to be my nurse then," He said pulling her into his arms as she giggled.
"Put your pants on were in public," She joked.
She smiled realizing she still had his shirt on. Once she got to the house it was a little after midnight. Spencer looked outside and she saw everyone by a fire.
"Hey where've you been all day?" Lib said walking in.
"Oh I went to talk to my mom,"
"Oh shit how'd that go."
"Better than expected, you know she actually ate a hotdog,"
"No shit,"
"What?" Greg asked walking in.
"Cassandra ate a hotdog,"
"Holy shit, what did she put on it?"
"I don't know mayo, relish, ketchup, mustard,"
"I can't believe it,"
"Why not? She's a normal person,"
"No she's Cassandra, the venomous she devil."
"Yeh good point Greg, plus there is no way you could spend more than ten minutes in alone with her."
"Yeh, so are you coming out to the bonfire?"
"Nah I'm gonna go for a run on the beach," She said grabbing some water.
"Alright we'll talk to you later." Greg said as they walked out.
"Ok," Spencer changed her clothes and walked out onto the beach people from the bonfire shouted her name. She rolled her eyes and began running they were drunk, and she didn't like dealing with drunk people. Just then she heard steps behind her she turned her head and groaned in frustration... Nick was running behind her.
"Spencer," He slurred running faster. She picked up her pace knowing for a fact he was drunk. Every time he started to run faster she ran faster. Spencer smirked she could run and outpace anyone when they were sober and she knew for a fact she could out run this drunk asshole.
Finally she looked behind her and he was gone she slowed down her pace to a jog and thought about the earlier encounters she'd had with her friends. She got frustrated with their humor tonight usually she'd be laughing with them but she remembered even before Lucius she started to think the jokes they made were stupid. She thought back and realized how many times she had to tell them to be quiet or to stop what they were doing. They were all the same age they were all legally adults but she was the only one who acted like an adult except for Jenna. Maybe the joke of mama wolf wasn't a joke anymore.
Spencer had felt she'd grown a lot in these past few months with Lucius yes she was still a child in many ways and she was not denying it in any way, shape or form. But Lucius had helped her grow as a person and develop. She had turned around and ran back to the house. She walked into the house to see everyone waiting for her.
"Why did you ignore us?" Jessica slurred she was clearly drunk.
"Because I didn't want to drink by a fire I wanted to go for a run."
"You know I think you're ignoring your friends you haven't spent a bit of time with them since you've been back in Cali."
"Your drunk I'm not going to deal with you right now can you talk to me when your sober."
"No bitch your gonna deal with me right now." She said stumbling to her feet and over to Spencer. "You have been nothing but a bitch to me since we met and since you've been back you've been acting like your better than everyone because why your little friend Jenna didn't die."
"Wait Jenna's alive," Lib said equally as drunk. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"It slipped my mind I'm sorry,"
"You're sorry for the last year I've stayed up every night thinking about what happened to her and you knew that she was fine what the fuck is wrong with you."
"I'm sorry I've been thinking about other things right now,"
"What like having dinner with your whore mom or spending time on a beach with a married man?"
"Wait you were spending time with my mother?"
"She came to me ok?"
"You fucking bitch,"
Before she knew it she was being yelled at by two of her best friends, and her worst enemy.
"Everyone you all are drunk can you just calm down and we'll talk about this tomorrow,"
"Yes I'm drunk, are you?" Jessica yelled.
"No I'm completely sober,"
"What did I just say? What did I just say?" The redhead drunkenly screamed. Spencer felt so angry at her stupidity.
"I don't know, I didn't hear you. I didn't hear you, I didn't hear you."
"What did I just say?"
"I don't know I didn't hear you." Before she knew it Jessica punched her in the face and someone was pulling her hair. Next thing she knew she was on the ground getting kicked in the face and ribs. The guys pulled them off of her and she stood up livid.
"You punk ass bitches gang beat me!" She screamed as Matt grabbed her and pulled her into her room. Spencer grabbed her bag and started throwing her stuff in it when Greg walked in.
"Spencer what are you doing?"
"I'm packing my shit and going to a fucking hotel."
"You don't have to pack your stuff,"
"No I do I'm not having my shit broke and thrown into the ocean,"
"Why didn't you tell us Jenna was alive?"
"I have a lot going through my mind right now I'm sorry it really did slip my mind. I'm going to call the guy tomorrow and tell him I'm not staying here anymore."
"Spence-"
"No Greg don't even try to convince me, I just got gang beat and two of the cowards who gang beat me were people I've been friends with since I was eleven." She said. Once she knew she had everything she zipped up her bag and threw it over her shoulder she grabbed her surfboard and walked out of the room and house.
Lucius sat in his room thinking about Spencer it was well after midnight but he couldn't go to sleep something felt off. He didn't know what but something was wrong. He heard a knock at his door he stood and opened it. The man was shocked to see Spencer standing there looking disheveled and her face was bruised. She had her bag on one arm and her surf board in the other.
"Spencer come in," He said grabbing her bag and leading her in. "What happened,"
"I got jumped," She said finally starting to sob.
"I'll call a doctor,"
"Don't bother the guy at the front desk has it covered," She said whipping her eyes.
Lucius sat her on the bed and looked at her feeling a twinge in his heart. Her face was starting to swell and her hair was a mess. He got her some ice in a rag and gently applied it to her face.
"You don't have to take care of me I've gotten my ass kicked before." She said it hurt her jaw to talk.
"I know I want to," He said gently rubbing her arm.
"I'm not some kid you know,"
"Spencer I haven't thought of you as a child since the first moment, you have shown me that you are more mature than most people I have been associated with." He spoke after a long silence. "The reason I am compelled to take of you because that's what happens when you genuinely care about someone."
Just then someone knocked on the door Lucius stood and answered it. Soon a muggle doctor walked in and came up to her.
"Spencer Montgomery?"
She nodded her head.
"I'm Doctor Fitz the hotel called me to come take a look at you, now can you tell me what happened?"
"Um... I came back from a run and the people I was staying with came over and asked me why I ignored them when they called my name at the beginning of my run." She said in a low voice. "Before I knew I was being yelled at by three different girls and then one of them pulled my hair and I started to get punched and kicked."
"Where does it hurt?"
"Um, my ribs and my jaw hurts when I talk,"
"Ok so I want you to come into my office so we can check out your ribs."
"Alright,"
Once she and Lucius got to the hospital they found out her jaw and a few of her knuckles were bruised and so were a few of her ribs. She wasn't seriously hurt but the doctor gave her some pain pills. They went back to the hotel and she got into her pajamas.
Lucius watched as she flinched every time she moved he had offered to help her but she said she was ok. He grabbed her hand by this time it was five in the morning.
"Do you want me to order room service?" He asked she nodded her head. "What would you like love?"
"Just some clam chowder or French onion soup the doctor said it's best if I don't chew anything."
Lucius picked up the phone and ordered her clam chowder as she got some soda from the vending machines.
"Thank you," She said before kissing him.
"Lie down and get some rest before your soup gets here," He said tenderly. Spencer nodded before lying down. Lucius poured her some soda and handed her one of the pills.
"Thanks again,"
"Like I said I don't mind pet." He said kissing her. Her soup soon came and she ate all of it Lucius put it outside the door before lying next to her watching as she soon fell to a peaceful slumber.
That's it for now let me know what you think.
