Sorry. I know it's been awhile but I've been real busy. I'll try and be timelier with my post. Here's a short one to hold you over.

Six months later….

Ashley's POV

The tour has been amazing. I never knew the adrenaline rush I would get with being on the stage in front of thousands of people. I also never knew that as much as I loved it I would hate it, being away from Spencer was unbearable. It had been four months that I had been out on the road. I've been able to make it home a few weekends and Spencer was with me three weeks ago, but I decided that I did not like this part of the job.

"Ashley" Jill said walking into the room, "oh, hey there you are. I've been looking for you everywhere". She gave me this look like she had bad news.

"What is it this time Jill?" I was getting fed up with these little meetings we were having.

She threw the tabloid down on the table. There was a split picture…me with Jill and Spencer with her new BFF Lauren. "Rock Star Relationship Hitting Rock Bottom?"

I threw the tabloid across the room yelling "God, where do they get this stuff?"

"I don't know" Jill said sitting down next to me.

I put my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands and just sat there for a moment.

I looked up at Jill, "God Jill, I am so sorry about this. You didn't sign on for any of this."

She put her hand on my knee to reassure me, "hey, don't worry about me. I'm secure enough in my relationship to not let this bother me. And I also know that you a Spencer are disgustingly perfect. Don't let the tabloid get to you."

"But look at this…God that girl Lauren."

"Ash" she interrupted, "You know that you like Lauren don't go doing this again".

I did like Lauren. She was nice and there for Spencer in classes. She wasn't a threat; in fact she was one of the straightest girls I knew…I hope. This whole situation wasn't really fair to her and I have to give her credit for not ditching Spencer, but I still didn't like the fact that people thought any of this was true.

"I'm going home" I announce standing up.

"Ashley" Jill interrupts.

"No Jill, I'm going home. I haven't seen my fiancé in almost a month. Chelsea is ready to pop any second. I need to be at home to keep my sanity. I need to see her."

I looked at Jill and she knew she needed to make it happen.

"Alright, look do your show tonight and I'll have a flight for you right after the show. I'll get you out of the next show. So you'll have exactly one week at home."

I take her into a hug, "You're the best Jill".

Spencer's POV

Lauren and I were out for coffee between classes when I looked down at the magazine rack. "Oh man…not again".

"I was hoping you wouldn't see that" Lauren said grabbing her coffee from the barista.

"Man, Lauren I am so sorry about this. I don't get why they keep doing this. Have they ever even seen us holding hands…Ashley has to be pissed".

Lauren looked at me "She's not going to kick my ass is she?'

Even though she meant it as a joke I could see the hint of fear in her eyes.

"Lauren, she knows you're not in to me. Don't worry, if she's going to kick anyone's ass it will be this photographer", I throw my hand towards the magazine rack.

At this point people started to stare at us like we were going to confirm their suspicions and start making out in front of them.

"Let's head out" Lauren said getting up.

I looked at my phone seeing if I could phone Ashley yet, I would give her about thirty more minutes. It should give me enough time to get a hold of her before her show.

Lauren and I decided to try and finish our project that night. We headed out towards the library.

Ashley's POV

As soon as my set was finished Jill met me at the side of the stage. She had everything set up and I was soon in a car on the way to the airport. With the wonders on time zones I was in LA by 11:15 pm.

Jill being the awesome road manager that she was had a car ready for me and everything.

I gave the driver a twenty and threw my bag over my shoulder and headed inside our house.

"Spence" I yelled walking in the front door. All the lights were off and she didn't answer. "Spencer" I yelled again making my way upstairs to our room. She wasn't there either. I figured she was probably out with some friends, so I hopped in the shower and changed in to some pajamas and climbed into bed. I thought she would be home by now, so I tried her cell but there was no answer.

I started to get a little worried, it had started to rain. Just as I was getting ready to try her again I heard voices down stairs and giggles. Maybe Kyla had come over to keep her company.

The giggles got louder until the door swung open and Lauren was practically being carried by her.

Spencer looked up and screamed dropping Lauren when her eyes met mine.

"Holy shit, Ash. What the fuck?" She was now holding her chest.

I just had a think blank look on my face staring back at her. I tried to keep telling myself that Lauren wasn't a threat.

"I was going to borrow a sweatshirt" Lauren stuttered out.

Spencer then caught her breathe and jumped on the bed tackling me.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she asked connecting her lips with mine.

I pulled apart from her a reached down on the floor and threw the tabloid on the bed. She looked at it and looked back up to me.

"You know that's not true" she said standing up looking really pissed.

"I think I'm gonna go" Lauren said.

I just gave her a look that told her that was best. I knew that she wasn't at fault, but her coming into our bedroom really didn't help the situation.

"I'll call you later Lauren, again sorry about today".

"No problem. See ya" she said as she shut the door behind her.

Spencer watched her leave and turned back to face me. "That was not ok Ashley. Lauren has done nothing wrong and for you to treat her like that".

"What were you two just doing coming to our room?" I knew I was off base asking but I was tired and fed up with everything.

"Oh real nice Ash. You trust the tabloids over me now? I could ask the same thing about Jill!" she was now yelling.

I was now off the bed and standing face to face with her. Our chests were both heaving with anger from yelling. I realized right then that I was being stupid. There was a few seconds of silence before I just grabbed her a kissed her as hard as I could. She tried to fight but quickly gave in and kissed me just as hard back. Things got intense and heated very quickly.

"I do trust you" I panted as I was ridding myself of my shirt with Spencer's help.

"I know you do baby" she says between kisses to my neck and collar bone.

"I…..love….you…so….much" I tell her between kisses.

Not much is said after that just soft "I love yous" and plenty of moans.

Spencer's POV

We lay there in bed after some amazing sex. I'm snuggled into her and she's holding on to me tightly.

"So what are you doing home?" I finally manage to ask.

She pulls me closer, if that's possible "I missed you".

"And…" I knew there was more.

"….and I saw that stupid magazine and I just decided I had had enough" she shifts out from under me a props herself up on her elbow looking down on me.

"They have no idea what they're doing, we are real people me. What have I done to them for them to do this? I'm tired of it. They make you look like a cheat and make me look like a whore. I can't imagine what you go through at school."

I could tell she was really upset by this and she had every right. I would never tell her how awful it was at school. People would basically just stare at me all day and ever since these new rumors about me and Lauren, they were looks of interest. I actually had one girl come up to me and cuss me out for doing this to Ashley; she then proceeded to throw her drink on Lauren. How that girl was still my friend I would never know.

"Baby" I say while moving some hair out of her face.

"I'm quitting" she spit out.

"What?" I sit up straight in bed.

"I'm quitting. I'm not going to let this ruin the best thing in my life. I won't let it happen. I won't lose you".

"You're not going to lose me and you're not going to quit" I said sternly. I looked over Ashley and saw it was almost two in the morning, thank goodness tomorrow was Saturday.

"Lets just go to sleep and we'll talk about this in the morning, ok?" I leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.

"Nothing will ever break us up Ash" I said pulling her down into my arms.

"I would rather be jobless with no money and have you, then have all the fame and fortune in the world and lose you". She said looking into my eyes.

"I know baby, but you're going to have both, I promise." I lean over and capture her lips and pull her closer so we can drift off to sleep. This was the best surprise fight we ever had. I wonder how long she'll be home for?
