I just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback that you guys have given me that means a lot and I hope this will be something, it's not the longest update but it's something and from this chapter and on for a few chapters it will be either in LA with Spencer and Alex or in Newport with Ashley and Marissa.

I some chapter there will be phone calls or texting between them but not always. I have until chapter 11 planned out. So there might be an update in a week but I can't promise anything.

Chapter 7 Old friends?

"Let's go." Spencer yelled upstairs.

"What?" Alex asked as she walked down the same stairs as Spencer had yelled for her.

"We are going out tonight, and we are leaving now." Spencer said and looked at her cousin. Glen was already outside the door waiting for them to come.

"I never agreed to that." Alex told the younger girl.

"I know that, but both Glen and I believe that you need to have some fun. and that is what we are doing now. Having fun, tonight." Spencer said and smiled. Alex just sighed, the older girl knew that she hadn't a chance now.

Spencer had that power over them all, and she had always had that power all she had to do was smile and if that didn't help just pout a little and tilt her head and everyone would do what she wanted and Alex knew that Spencer would use that just so that the older girl would go out with them.

"Fine." Alex said and with that they were out the door. Alex never had a chance to change.

As the two girls and Glen had gotten to Greys'.

Alex walked up to the bar she would need something to drink of she would get through this night.

"I need a beer over here." Alex yelled to the bartender and looked over at the same woman just to make sure that she knew who it was that had yelled for it.

"One minute." The same bartender yelled back and Alex nodded. "So what do you want?"

"A beer, I don't really care what kind as long as it has alcohol in it." Alex said.

"Okay, but I need to see some ID." The bartender said. This time it was Alex turn to use the same thing that Spencer had used on her.

"Are you sure, I mean it's just one beer." Alex said and smiled, and she prayed that this would work, she needed that beer and she hadn't her fake ID left. Paula as much as she loved her aunt had confiscated that from her.

"Fine but just this one beer." The bartender said and hoped that she didn't make a mistake.

"Great so then I need a coke and another beer." Alex said and she hoped that she would get those things; well the beer was what she was hoping for.

"That means that there is not just this one beer, it's two of them."

"Yeah, that's true but you see the first one is still just for me and the second one is for my dear friend Glen and the coke is for Spencer, you know his sister." Alex said and smiled and she said those names the bartender seemed to loosen up a bit.

"How do you know Spence and Glen?"

"Cousins and I'm Alex. You will see more of me." Alex said and laughed, maybe this place was nice after all.

"Okay, Alex, I'll give you what you asked for but there is this one condition. And just so you know I'm Kat."

"Great and that is?" Alex asked.

"I don't want to see Spencer drinking from your beer or from Glens' beer. I don't want to see that girl drunk at my club again and she knows that. And I don't serve her.

Alex walked up to her cousins with the drinks.

"I didn't order anything." Spencer said.

"I know that, I just wanted to be nice, you know as a thank you." Alex said.

"I'm not complaining. I think that you are nice and you got be a beer too." Glen said and laughed "And you know the best part is that I don't have to pay."

"I knew that someone would like that." Alex said and laughed with Glen. It had been a while since she had been laughing and it felt good.

And she was happy that they had more or less dragged her out.

"So how did you get those beers from Kat?" Spencer asked.

"I told her that one was for me and the other one was for Glen." Alex said.

"That was all?" Glen asked and looked at his cousin.

"Fine I had to promise to make sure that Spencer here didn't drink anything else that coke or water." Alex said.

////

Spencer and Glen was sitting alone and talking, Alex had gone to the bar once again.

"We did the right thing, right?" Spencer asked, she was still not sure that this had been the right thing to do.

"Sure, just look at her, have you seen her this happy since she got here. Or this happy at all." Glen said and looked over at the bar.

////

Alex was standing at the bar.

"Kat!" Alex yelled to the bartender.

"No more beer, Alex." Kat yelled back and she was stressed more than normal. One of the workers hadn't shown up and hadn't called either.

Alex saw this and made a decision that she hoped that she wouldn't have to regret later. The blonde jumped over the disc, and she started to take orders from customers.

This was something that you shouldn't do, not when you just had meet the owner and bartender.

"Alex, what do you think that you are doing?" Kat asked and looked over at the blonde.

"Helping?" Alex asked, hoping that this was the right thing to say.

"Whatever but don't think you get any more beer just because you are helping me out." Kat said, Alex let out a breath that she didn't know that she had been holding.

////

"Why is Alex behind the bar?" Glen asked.

"What!" Spencer said, she was surprised this was not the deal and defiantly not the plan.

"It looks like she is working." Glen said.

"But, but she wasn't supposed to work." Spencer said and she didn't like this and she was pretty sure that her parents wouldn't like it either.

"I know but maybe she needed some kind of distraction." Glen said "She did just break up with a girl and that is the reason that she is here in the first place."

"I know but I don't think that I like this." Spencer said.

"Well I like it. I mean free beer or something like that at least." Glen said and laughed. He always found something that he liked with this whole thing.

"You know if you need any help I can help ypu out." Alex said and hoped that the bartender would get the hint.

"So you want a job." Kat stated and looked at Alex.

"Yeah, I need to have something to do." Alex said and smiled.

"Have any references and if you do then maybe?" Kat said.

"I do have that. I kind of managed this club in Newport, Bait shop. It was something like this." Alex said.

"Okay, if those references are okay the you have yourself a job." Kat said.

Alex was on her way back to Spencer and Glen. That was when she bumped in to someone.

"Sorry." Alex said and when she heard the voice, she knew that she wanted to leave at this moment and she was not that sorry at all.

"Alex."

"Jodie."

"I'm guessing that you are here with Newport Barbie." Jodie said.

"Well, not that that is any of your business but no." Alex said and as the two of them was talking, well more arguing.

Spencer and Glen made their way over to Alex.

"Oh, I see that you are here with your new boo. So that means that it's over between you and Newport Barbie. I'm so sorry." Jodie said and laughed.

"Well, it's over between me and Marissa and I'm not here with my new boo." Alex said and looked at Jodie.

"Great so it's okay for me to take that one out for a ride." Jodie said and looked over at Spencer.

"No, I don't think so." Alex said.

"You okay?" Spencer asked as she walked up next to the blonde.

"Yeah I'm fine; I just have some trouble with this one here." Alex said and pointed to Jodie.

"Lets' just leave." Glen said.

"do that, I don't' care I can take her out for a ride." Jodie said and looked at Spencer.

"I don't' think so, I don't' get rides or take rides from people that I don't know." Spencer said "and I do have a girlfriend so just forget about it."

"But Alex said that she wasn't your girlfriend." Jodie said, both Spencer and Glen were too shocked to say anything.

"That is because she is my cousin." Alex said and glared over at Jodie all of this was starting to get on the older blondes nerves.

"Well I can't have Alex so why don't we get together." Jodie said, and she knew that Spencer had said that she was taken and all of that but at the moment the Latin girl didn't care.

"No, as I said I have a girlfriend and I don't cheat." Spencer said, this girl was even worse than Madison and her ego was even bigger than Ashleys' and that was saying a lot.

"Your girl doesn't have to know." Jodie said and smiled. That comment was the last straw for Alex.

The older blonde, had had enough of her ex, Jodie in this case and that meant that there was just one more thing that she could do.

Alex took a step back and after that she launched herself at the girl and within a second of that she had punched the girl in the face, that was what she needed to do. This was the end that she needed. Sure Alex had gotten kind of an ending when she went to LA with Marissa but this had been her real ending. Jodie didn't have any more power over her.

With this conversation that Spencer had heard from both Alex and Jodie she knew that Ashley had a great chance of getting to know a Marissa. And if Marissa was anything like the two of them had said it was a great possibility that Ashley would be friends with her.
