[A/N Thanks to everyone who reviewed :). I hope you like the update. Also, thoughts are in italics.]

Only minutes, which seemed like hours, had passed before Kyla broke the silence that had enveloped the tiny suburban household.

"Are you still awake?" Kyla questioned, slowly looking up at Spencer as her head remained snuggled into Spencer's neck where she felt safe.

"Yes," Spencer sighed as she gently placed her hand on Kyla's back and began to draw smooth circles. Whether is was to calm Kyla or herself, Spencer did not know.

"Are you okay?" Kyla questioned.

"Are you?" Spencer replied quietly.

"I don't know. I think..."Kyla was unsure. She wasn't sure how she felt, and she didn't know if she should tell Spencer ether way.

"Go on," Spencer urged her, wanting to know just what was on her girlfriend's mind.

"I think...well I don't really know. I think I'm scared." Kyla admitted timidly.

Spencer gently moved her other arm so that she could securely wrap both arms around Kyla, holding her close.

"Scared of what exactly hun?"

"Scared of losing you, scared of seeing Ashley again, scared of Ashley hating me...hating you. I just don't know what to do." Kyla sighed, tears silently beginning to fall softly down her cheek.

"Babe," Spencer began as she placed a finger under Kyla's chin, bringing Kyla's eyes to meet her own, "You are not going to lose me, and there is no way that Ashley will hate you." Spencer lied, again not knowing who she was trying to convince. The truth is, she had no idea what would happen.

"Promise?" begged like a scared child begging her parents to check for monsters under the bed.

Spencer sighed almost inaudibly before placing a gently kiss to Kyla's temple.

"I promise." Spencer vowed.

"I love you," Kyla said, lifting her head from Spencer's body and staring straight into Spencer's eyes.

"I love you too." Spencer said, as Kyla dropped her head back down to its place on Spencer chest, right where she could hear her heart beat, and snaked her arm across Spencer's stomach.

Kyla drifted off to sleep rather quickly, her breathing evening out and her grip on Spencer's body slowly loosening. However, Spencer couldn't seem to fall into a peaceful slumber. She couldn't help but think about Ashley...and Kyla.

What am I supposed to do now? I love Kyla, I really do...but Ashley. Ashley's the love of my life and no matter how amazing Kyla is, nothing can change that. I know that Kyla is worried about losing me, and although I assured her that won't happen, I just don't know. I'm so torn. I mean, Ashley was in a coma and I started dating her sister...I wouldn't be surprised if Ash never wanted to see me again. How am I supposed to chose between these two girls, these two sisters. No matter what I do someone is going to get hurt.

And on top of all that, what is Ashley thinking? Does she think that I've just been sitting around waiting for her for six years? She must know that I've moved on...right? Why is this to difficult? Should I feel terrible for dating the sister of the love of my life while she's been in a coma? Should I feel bad for being extremely happy that Ash woke up?

When Ash slipped into a coma it flipped my world upside down and now that she's awake its flipped my world upside down again. Does that mean that everything is really right again? Or is it just in some different state of chaos?

The emotional battle going on in Spencer's heart was too much for her to handle. Spencer fell into a restless sleep with her thoughts drifting and ripping her in every direction as her mind was flooded with dreams of Ashley and a time long before the accident every happened. A time when everything was perfect, when Aiden was a good friend, when Kyla was just her girlfriend's sister, and when her and Ash were deeply and unconditionally in love with not one worry in the world.

[A/N Hey Guys! I know this chapter is kind of short but it's really more of a filler to close up Kyla and Spencer's talk and I just wanted to get something out. The next one will be longer I promise. I hope you liked the update. Please Review!]
