What's up Fan Fiction readers? I pretty much can't really fall asleep, maybe because so many ideas about this story are running through my head or maybe because I can't stop watching tv. Anyways, I'm glad that you all like my story and I will continue to write until someone tells me not to. Disclaimer: I do not own anything besides my characters and storyline. Enjoy.
Chapter 15
Ashley's POV
I look at Kyla as she gets ready to go out tonight, and me, being the older sister had to approve of her outfit. I sit on her bed, tuning my guitar and writing as I go. This break from Spencer has been tough and every time I close my eyes I can't help but see her face. I figured that the more music I write, the faster time will go by and Spencer will come back to me. We can all hope right? Kyla steps out of her closet, wearing a purple sparkly tank top, a black short ruffled skirt and a pair of black heels to match.
" Can you please approve of this outfit so that I can go?"
" One more thing and then you're good to go." I get up and apply a little more eyeliner on Kyla to make sure that her eyes pop. " You know Ky, you're suppose to keep the guy waiting."
" But this isn't any guy Ashley. This is Aiden." Her eyes light up just when she mentions his name. I don't know how but some time this week Aiden asked out my sister making her dreams come true. I haven't seen her this excited since she got her first sewing kit. Kyla was just about to apply a coat of lip gloss but I stop her from committing date suicide.
" Aiden hates lip gloss, he said he feels like he's making out glue." Kyla shoots me a weird look when I hand her a small lip balm tube that was on her desk. " He's a bit of a weird one, but if you plan on kissing him tonight, you wanna opt for this. Just one coat and you're good to go."
Kyla applies the lip balm to her lips, she looks at herself in the mirror approving how she looked. The door bell rings and Kyla tenses up with that first date nervous feeling.
" I'm going to take answer that while you stay up here and take a chill pill." I leave her room and walk downstairs. When I open the door, I see Aiden wearing a black button down shirt, light jeans and I was happy to see that he wasn't wearing sneakers. He looked pretty good and I was glad that he was taking Kyla out.
" You're not coming Ash?"
" Nah, I'm not in the mood to go out tonight, plus its suppose to be a date Aiden."
" I know, I guess I'm kind of nervous."
" You should be nervous, you're taking out my little sister and if anything happens to her I'll kick your ass."
" I'd like to see that happen short stuff." Aiden pokes my side and I take the opportunity to jokingly punch him in the stomach. We stop playing around when we hear Kyla's heels coming down that stairs. She steps down and is smiling from ear to ear, I look at Aiden who has the same look on his face.
" Can you two be anyone typical?"
" Shut up Ash!" They both say at the same time. They find it funny but I think that it's a bit creepy.
" Kyla you look... wow." What a loser, he really is at lost of words right now. I guess its kind of quite in his own way.
" Same to you Aiden. Are you sure you don't wanna come Ash?"
" For the last time, go on your date and have fun. I need to work on my material anyways." I open the door allowing them to exit. They both stare at me, looking for assurance. " You don't have to worry about me."
" We kind of do when all you do is write music about Spencer." I look down almost ashamed at the fact that they noticed. It's true, I have been writing a lot of music but every song, every word reminds me of Spencer. " I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything.. look maybe if you come with us, you can get your mind straight."
" Thanks for the offer you guys but I'm not really into it. I can't have a night out on the town, not knowing where Spencer is or who she is with." Aiden gives me a light hug and Kyla tells me to call her is I need anything. I lock up the house and head back upstairs. I'm currently working on a song that totally expresses how I feel, but I want it to be perfect. It's not that I want anyone to hear it right now, but when the time comes, I want it to be just right.
Spencer's POV
I give myself one last look over in my full length mirror, I have to admit that I was looking hot tonight. The light green dress that I chose flatters every inch of my body. I throw on a pair of gold sandals, and even curl my hair just be do something different. I know what you're thinking and its not a date. It's just me getting the house and hanging out with Carmen. Still don't believe me? Not that it's any of your business but I even invited Chelsea to tag along. Told ya!
" Chels! Get your ass out of the bathroom!"
" You can't rush beauty Spence." Chelsea steps out of the bathroom wearing an orange halter top and black mini skirt that she looks absolutely fantastic in. " Gold hoops or silver studs."
"Defiantly the gold hoops, it'll take attention away from your face." I say sticking my tongue out at her playfully. Chelsea gives me the finger and puts on her earrings.
" You girls look nice, what's the special occasion?" My dad says standing in the doorway, I know that he's happy to see me getting out of the house and hanging out with someone rather than just sitting around thinking about... I can't even talk about it right now. I refuse to talk about it right now.
" Our little Spencer is going on a date and I'm just supervising to make sure that things don't get out of hand."
" A date huh? Would this date be with a certain Ashley Davis?"
Omg would people stop saying that I am going out on a date! I'm not going out with Carmen, just gonna chill and dance, nothing special.
" Not this Arthur, Spencer has a date with Carmen Sanchez."
" Chels! It is so not like that. Dad, don't listen to her. I'm honestly just going dancing. One of the choreographers from the studio invited me to this club Disko and my friend Carmen is meeting us there."
" Oh really? If that's the case why are you dressed like that?" My dad says observing my outfit of choice.
" Dressed like what?"
" Like you're going on a date!" Really Chelsea? Do you have to keep saying that.
" You guys its not a date. Can't a girl just look nice for a change?"
" Whatever, are you ready to go?"
" Yeah let me just grab my sweater, I left it downstairs." I leave my room and head down to the living room, looking for my sweater. I hate when you leave something in a certain place for just a second and when you need it, it feels like it just walked away. I know I left it on the couch but I don't see it. Where could it be?
" Are you looking for this?" I look up from the couch and see Tonya holding my sweater that I plan on wearing tonight. I really hate that I have to a conversation with her but I do need that sweater.
" Just throw it over here." I say firmly, not looking her in the eye.
" So you're hanging out with Carmen now? How do you think Ashley feels about that?"
" What I do with my life is neither yours or Ashley's business? I don't have to explain myself to you just give me the damn sweater."
" You don't know what you're getting yourself into. I get that you're upset but going out with Carmen isn't right."
"And getting Ashley and Carmen hooked on drugs was right? You have no room to judge anyone! Just do me a favor and stay away from me!" I walk towards Tonya and snatch my sweater out of her hands. I know I scratched her but a I couldn't care less. Chelsea comes down the stairs and looks at Tonya and I.
" Spence it's time to go." Without saying anything, I head to the door and leave with Chelsea. We decided on taking her car, lately my car has been acting a little weird and we didn't want to take a chance. I'm not gonna lie, I am nervous and not about meeting Carmen. I'm gonna be at a club with really talented dancers and I don't know what to expect, plus I'm not too skilled in Salsa dancing. But I decided to take a chance tonight and live for me. Parking was kind of hard to find so it took us about an hour to get to Disko. When we reach the club, we see a long line that goes around the building. Great! Now we have to wait in that stupid line. There's no way we're getting in.
" We better get in line before it get's any longer." Chelsea says looking doubtful. Before we could head there, I hear a voice calling my name.
" Spencer!" Chance yells to catch my attention. I smile at her and the bouncer let's Chelsea and I in with no problem. I can hear the moans and groans from the line bystanders and I feel bad that I just skipped them. Chance gives me a hug as well as a kiss on the check. I didn't really notice her features until now and I had to say that she was extremely attractive. Her carmel skin was smooth and really brought out her light brown eyes. I had to look away, as the remembrance of Ashley's eyes popped in my head. I kind of dig the look that she has going on. Her dark jeans aren't too tight but aren't really loose. She paired a black tank top with a silver jacket and is rocking silver, black and white Nikes. Her hair is styles in a neat ponytail, in all she looked nice, which kind of made me second guess my dress.
" You weren't leaving were you?"
" No, not at all. I was going to wait in line... this is my friend Chelsea."
Chance automatically locks eyes with Chelsea. She shakes her hand slowly, staring at her intensely. I totally know that look because it was the look that Ashley gave me when I first met her. Chance was totally checking out Chelsea. It's too bad the Chelsea is straight because I think that they would make a cute couple. A little after they meet, Chance escorts us into Disko and let me tell you, it was unlike anything I've ever seen. I had never been to a club where everyone was dancing, no one was sitting down. It looked like a scene straight out of a movie, there were even cage dancers. I was in complete awe.
" Can I get you ladies anything?"
" I'll have a coke." I say to Chance.
" Anything for your Chelsea?" Chance asked, showing off her best smile.
" No thanks I'm good." With that said, Chance makes her way to the bar to get my drink. I laugh at the body language that Chance was giving off, trying to make Chelsea notice her more as she walked away.
" What's so funny?"
" Chance is so into."
" No way! She's just being nice."
" Please, she is so scoping you out. She's kind of cute though."
" Too bad for her, I'm not into chicks."
" Every straight girl says that until she meets the one."
" Whatever." Before I can really check out the scenery, Chelsea is being taken away to the dance floor by some guy. ' At least she's having a good time.' I think to myself. This is one reason I hate coming to clubs. I always end up being the odd person left out while everyone around me enjoys themselves. I rock back and forth to the music, just so I don't seem out of place. Chance comes back and hands me my drink.
" Where's your friend?" Chance asked me, looking around her.
" She got offered to dance." Chance's face falls down a bit in disappointment. Yup, it confirms it. She is into Chelsea. " I hate to break it to you but she doesn't swing that way."
"You mean she bats for the other team?"
" Afraid so."
" Awe man, why are all the hot chicks straight?" I laugh a little trying to relax but it isn't working. " I hate to leave you hear but it's my night to DJ tonight."
" It's totally fine. I have a friend that is gonna meet me here anyways." Chance gives me a nod and pats me on the back. She heads to the DJ booth and takes over the music. For the most part, she's doing a great job. I look around and see an empty seat at the bar and take a sit. While drinking my coke, the bartender comes up to me, trying to start a conversation.
" Why isn't a pretty girl like yourself on the dance floor?" He asks me.
"I'm just sort of relaxing right now, I'm waiting on a friend who should be here soon."
" Well in that case, why don't I get you a drink on the house?"
" No thanks I'm good."
" Are you sure? I could make you something pretty? What's your poison?"
" Hey jackass! You don't have a chance!" I turn to the left to see Carmen and man, I had never been so happy to see her. She wore a black fedora hat with her hair down underneath it. Her red bra peaked out of the side of her black vest.
" I started to think that you weren't coming."
" And leave a pretty girl to fend for herself? No way."
" So who are you challenging tonight?" I stay pointing at her hat.
" I'm going for that whole Micheal Jackson meets Carlos Santana look. Why don't we go out there and shake a lil something?"
I ain't come to fight tonight
Too many ladies up in here tonight
( Everyone report to the dance floor,please grabs a girl!)
Carmen takes my hand and leads me to the floor. She moves behind me moving her hips from side to side with the beat. I move my hips as well in rhythm with hers.
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wanna speak Spanish
Como se llama (si)
Bonita (si)
Mi casa, su casa
When you move you got me hypnotized,
especially when I look into his eyes
Hey papi I wanna see if you can dance to the Conga
Carmen spends me around in a circle, stopping so that I am face to face with her. She beings to salsa dance with me but in a sensual way, rubbing her body against mine. Her hands make her way to my hips, taking the lead of this dance
Hey girl, I can see your body moving
And it's driving me crazy
And I didn't have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing
And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody can ignore,
the way you move your body girl
And everything so unexpected that way you already left it,
so you can keep on shaking it.
Baila la calle de noche
baila la calle de dia
Baila la calle de noche
baila la calle de dia
I circle around Carmen, letting my finger tips caress her body. I grind against her backside, keeping the Spanish footwork combined in my moves. She turn and faces me, dripping my body back as I spin my head in circles letting my curls fall everywhere. Carmen takes her free hand and caress the side of my body, admiring my curves.
Hey boy now that I see all your rhythm
I'm in a state of shock now,
the way I can see your body moving
and I don't want you to stop now.
I like the way you approach me so sexually
You found me in the base boy
I can't ignore the way you dancing,
you got me in a trance and..
I can't explain.
We both dip down in unison, winding against each other cores. Carmen places her hat on my head and winks at me, as she spins me out, causing other dancers to move out of the way. She catches me before I reach the middle and leads in a simple merengue step. We spin around move my hips in wide motions, letting Carmen lift me up as she makes several turns.
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wanna speak Spanish
Como se llama (si)
Bonita (si)
Mi casa, su casa
When you move you got me hypnotized,
especially when I look into his eyes
Hey papi I wanna see if you can dance to the Conga.
The changes and Carmen lets me down. Soon everyone is clapping, letting us know how good we are. I was going to take a break but was stopped by Carmen, not letting me more.
" One more dance. I absolutely love this song."
" I don't know, I was just gonna take a break."
" Please, you won't even have to lead."
" Fine but that's because it's a slow song."
Carmen smiles at me and takes both of my hands into her possession. We do a simple bachata dance, something very basic and not requiring a lot of energy.
I've been walking a wire over your love
And I've fallen into your hands,
But I don't know where I'll land.
You're body holds me hostage whenever I touch you
I'm a prisoner inside, baby til the end of time
My mind wanders off, closing my eyes not wanting to hear the lyrics coming through the sound system. I don't want her to cross my mind, but she is, just as the song says, I'm a prisoner to her and I don't think that I'll ever escape. I don't want to ever be let out for good behavior but I want the pain to go away. I see Ashley smile in my head, the nose crinkling smile she does every time I'm near her. I would do anything to see that smile right now. Hey brown eyes take control of my soul when she looks at me, fighting to let her in.
I try to keep my balance but I still fall
But how'd I fall so hard
Right into your arms girl
I'm right beside you baby and it's so warm
Love without a cause
Leaves me trapped inside my own bars.
I open my eyes and look around to see all the couple together, dancing to a song. It was like everyone was in there own happy world, not bothering with anyone's nonsense. The same way Ashley and I were not too long ago.
Flashback
Since we've made it official, Ashley and I can't take our hands off of each other. She's like chocolate, so addicted it only makes me want to come back for more. She nibbles on my earlobe making me giggle a little as I try to hide our affection behind the diner menu.
" Do you know how beautiful you are?" She whispers in my ear, I blush from ear to ear turning away from her. She takes her hand and turns my face towards her, kissing my red cheeks. " No need to hide from the truth, Spencer Carlin."
" Could you be any proud?"
" As a matter of fact..." Ashley get's out of her sit and stands up, clearing her throat. " Everybody! Spencer Carlin is the most beautiful girl to ever walk this god awful world!" Most of the patrons laugh at Ashley and some even root her on to continue. I pull her down back in her sit, in shock that she actually did that.
" Ash! Everyone is looking."
" Of course they are. You're gorgeous." Ashley leans in and gives me a soft kiss that I return. My hand places itself on her cheek as we let the kiss linger, not wanting to break the kiss.
" Nice PDA ladies!" We look up to see a bunch of dumb jocks high fiving each other as they look at us. Some of them are even whistling. " Let me get it on that action." another one says, as they continue to stare at us. I put my head down, annoyed at there comments. Why do ignorant people have to ruin the perfect moments. Ashley lifts my head and brushes my hair out of my face.
" Baby please don't let them upset you. They're just stupid boys with little imagination. Always remember, its just me and you and no one else.
End of Flashback
I knew right then that I was dancing with the wrong person. This was meant for Ashley, right now I should be with Ashley. But I know that I'm not fully healed over what happened. Will I ever be healed? Will I ever be able to really forgive Ashley or Tonya? I wanted so badly for it to be Ashley with her arms around me, singing these lyrics in my ear. I wonder what she is doing now, if she was thinking about me, if she was out with another girl. I know this sounds selfish of me but I hope that she stays there waiting for me, for me to come back to the place where my heart belongs.I am brought out of the thoughts when Carmen touches my cheek. I don't exactly know what's going on but I don't think that I like where this is going.
" I'm glad that we're out tonight Spencer. You look really beautiful."
" Thanks Carmen. I know we haven't hung out much and I thought that this was a good way to start."
" Yeah it is... can I be honest with you?"
" Sure. Honesty is the best policy."
" I'm kind of happy that you're not with Ashley anymore. She doesn't know how to treat a girl like you... You don't deserve what you've been through."
" Can we not talk about Ashley? Its still a sore subject."
" I'm sorry.. I thought that with us being here that you are seeing what I see."
" I don't understand."
" You don't have to deny it Spencer. I can tell what you want. They way you danced with me, the way your eyes looked when we were close. How you dressed up to impress me."
" Carmen I think you got the wrong idea."
" The only thing I ever did wrong was let Ashley make the first move on you. This time, I'm not backing down."
Carmen forces her lips onto mine, I don't kiss back and push her off of me. She looks at me, hurt and confused. Not sure at what is going on.
" Carmen what the hell are you doing?"
" I was forwarding our date."
" Carmen this is not a date, we're just hanging out!"
" Do you dance like that with everyone who you just hang out with?"
" Actually yeah I do! I'm a dancer, that's what I do."
" WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" My head snaps my left side to see Aiden and Kyla standing there in rage. Oh boy, this does not look good at all.
" Spencer what's going on?" Aiden asked me not sure of what to think about what he just saw.
" Do you mind going back to where ever you came from? Spencer and I were enjoying our date." Crazy Hispanic chick say what?
" Date? Is that true Spencer? Are you on a date with this trash?"
" Takes trash to know trash Aiden. I see you're out here slumming it, I remember when you use to get way hotter chicks."
" Carmen, knock it off okay? " The last thing I need right now is Carmen making the situation worst than what it really is.
" You little whore!" Kyla screams over the music. I'm pretty sure that anyone in a close distance could hear what she said to me. " My sister is at home crying over you, writing beautiful love songs because she can't get over you, wanting you to come back to her and you're out on a date!"
" Kyla it's not like that. Carmen and I were just dancing and-"
" And what? Her tongue danced its way down your throat."
" Kyla please just listen to me before you think the wrong thing."
" There is nothing to think about Spencer! You're just like that bitch you're related to."
" Hold on, you don't know anything about me so why don't you just stop assuming things."
" I'm not assuming anything. I know exactly what's going on now, your a user and abuser that left my sister dry and heartbroken while you have a night on the town. I guess what they say is right. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
" Kyla maybe we should step outside and talk about this." Aiden says trying to be the voice of reason while rubbing her shoulders.
"We can talk about it right here. Tell me Spencer, was it fun making my sister cry, thought it would be cool to make Ashley Davis fall in love with you and dump her when things it tough?"
" You don't even know what you're talking about Kyla! She lied to me, she couldn't even tell the truth to my face. I had to find everything out after seeing that stupid video tape!"
" Awe poor Spencer finds out how much of a whore her sister is and the world is suppose to feel sorry for you. New flash! Its the past and had nothing to do with you and Ashley's-"
I don't remember where she came from or how this happened, but out of nowhere, Carmen jumps on top of Kyla and begins to punch her. Kyla tries her best to defend herself but is no match for Carmen's blows. She's hitting her so hard, I can her pounding on Kyla's head.
" CARMEN STOP IT! GET OFF OF HER!" I try to pull her off of Kyla but she won't budge, Aiden tries to move Kyla from underneath Carmen but Carmen's weight is too settled on Kyla. At that moment, I did the only thing I could do. I hit Carmen on the back of the head , telling her to stop. I thought that she would stop her fist from hitting Kyla, but my plan back fires as I feel a strong sting on my face, against my eye and nose. Finally, a bodyguard grabs Carmen putting her over his shoulder and escorts her out the club. Aiden grabs a beaten and weak Kyla off the floor and scoops her into his arms. This is all my fault, none of this would have happened if I hadn't came here. Or if I hadn't broken up with Ashley, or better yet, if I didn't watch the stupid video. Kyla is barely conscious, which usually signals something bad. I feel a hand touch my shoulder that makes me jump. I look and see Chance trying to see what happened.
" Spencer what the hell happened? All I see are a bunch of people fight and … Spencer are you bleeding?"
I touch my noise and feel a moisture. At first, I thought it was a runny nose but when the strobe lights came on, I saw that it was blood. I could feel my eye get swollen by the second and it hurt like a bitch.
" Spencer are you okay?" Aiden asked me, still hoping Kyla.
" I... I don't know."
" You need to go to the hospital and get that checked out. You can ride with us."
" But what about Chelsea?"
" I'll let her know what happened, just go with them and make sure that you're okay."
I nod my head and agreement and follow Ian out of the club. We drive to the nearest hospital, which by chance was the one that my mom works at. I was really hoping that by some miracle by god that she wouldn't hear about this, that someone else would check me out. We make it to the emergency room where Kyla was automatically seen to. While Aiden is talking to the nurses about what happened, I take a sit, having this surreal feeling about what just happened. Things were not suppose to plan out this way. It was suppose to be a night of dancing and fun, but it turned out to be this night of horror. I grab my phone out of my purse, there is only one person who needs to be here now and I feel a knot in my stomach as I dial the number.
Ashley's POV
My fingers strum against the chords, flowing like waves through water, A silently hum the words to myself making sure that they go well with the words. I stop and write down a few changes until my phone plays a song , letting me know that she was calling.
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note o-oh
I'm almost afraid to answer. What would I even say? How should I sound? Should I sound happy? Wait, if I sound happy she might think that I've moved on and that I don't want her. Should I sound sad? Just pick up the phone idiot! Okay I will just stop yelling at me! I take a deep breath, trying to get the butterflies in my stomach to calm down.
" Hello?"
" Ashley... you need to come to the hospital..."
" What? Spencer what's wrong? Are you hurt? Are you going to be okay? I'll be there soon okay just tell me what hospital you're at."
" It's not about me.. it's about Kyla."
So what do you guys think about that? I had to bring in more drama and I wanted Spencer and Ashley to sort of have to see each other again. I had to throw in the little salsa/ dancing in this chapter, because I just learned how to do this dance called bachata and I feel pretty freaking awesome that I know how to do it. Let me know what you think and I will get back to you with other chapter. Please keep reviewing and reading. Thank you :)
