CHAPTER 12

''Last time I checked, yeah'', Paige retorted.

Kyla looked at Paige puzzled, ''What are you still doing here?''.

''Wow, thanks for the warm welcome'', the taller girl scoffed, not understanding why she was getting this reaction.

''Sorry…'', Kyla said softly ''…I just meant that I thought you left with Spencer''.

''Well that was the original idea but unfortunately for me, fate had me scheduled for a smack in the face with some metal instead''Paige smirked at the shorter girl that was now looking at her confused.

''Look…''Paige went on, ''…How about we get the hell out this place and get some coffee?''.

The two girls travelled to the nearest starbucks and traded their recent war stories.

''So, what are we going to do about our little situation then?'' Kyla asked the girl sat opposite her.

''What? me and you?'', Paige replied whilst wiggling her eyebrows. The smaller of the two blushed slightly at her reply,

''no..*cough*Spencer and Ashley, they obviously can't sort things out by themselves so I think we should step in'', Kyla finished.

''Oh goody! Intervention!! Just like the L word episode!'', Paige squealed with excitement.

Kyla giggled, looking at the grown woman before her acting like a kid in a candy store, 'wow', she thought, 'I could get used to this'.

Breaking her thoughts the taller girl waved her hand in front of kyla's face, ''Er! Hello! anyone in there? I was saying who could be Alice!?''.

''Huh? What are you on about?'', Kyla answered with no clue as to what the beautiful women in front of her had been saying.

''Well you would know if you hadn't just spazzed out on me there! Day dreaming about anything worth my knowledge?'' Paige asked with a smirk.

Kyla just stood there speechless and before she managed to come back with some sort of reply, Paige chipped in, ''Never mind, what I was saying was that I could be Shane, because you know, look at me! And you can be Dana because your all sweet an innocent but also sexy as hell, but then were left with no Alice, you know, for the intervention!''.

"Well…….what about Aiden?" Kyla suggested.

"Um Kyla I don't know if you have noticed but Aiden is a boy!" Paige laughed "Unless he has something missing downstairs".

The younger Davies giggled along with Paige at the thought of it "No, I just thought he could help as he has known Ashley longer than me and well he kinda is a bit of a girl when it comes to his beauty regime, I mean seriously he moisturises more than I do".

"Ok well Aiden is Alice then, so now we have got the team, we just need to plan when, where and how" Paige said as she stood to order some more coffee "We are going to need it, call Aiden get him to meet us so we can get this organised, oooooo im so excited and I just cant hide it" Paige sang to Kyla as she danced backwards to the counter.

Aiden arrived shortly after and the three began conversing over their plan.

.........

Spencer arrived home to find four messages on her machine. The first was from her mum wishing her a happy birthday, the second was from Paige having a go at her for leaving her at AKD 'man I knew she would be pissed'Spencer thought , the third was from Ashley apologizing about the present and asking if they could just forget what happened and move on

"Not likely" Spencer scoffed to herself and the fourth was from Paige again asking if she could tag along to tomorrows filming, as long as Spencer promised to leave her again so she could get yet another lift from an unnamed gorgeous brunette.

Spencer laughed as she heard the last message and made a mental note to herself to ring Paige and apologise. Her mind wandered to Ashley's message and hoped deep down that Ashley hadn't meant what she had said.

Spencer literally shook her head to try and stop her thoughts, and went into the kitchen to start her dinner. After looking in the fridge she grabbed the nearest takeout menu and deliberated over what to order.

"Well some birthday this is" Spencer spoke aloud suddenly feeling alone. Her phone buzzed beside her and she gazed at the caller id 'Madison'she flicked up the phone "Hello?".

"Hey chica happy birthday, now that I have said that hurry up and open your door!"Madison squealed down the phone.

"What!?" Spencer ran to her door and flung it open and was engulfed in a hug.

"You didn't think I would forget my best girls birthday did you!"Madison said as she pushed Spencer inside and shut the door. "So what have you got planned for the night then"

Madison's eyes spotted the takeout menu "Right ok, lets order in and watch some chick flick movies like we used to, how's that sound?".

"Thanks Mad's" Spencer pulled her friend into another hug "You don't know how much I needed this".

"Hey what are friends for and you know ive always been there for you" She pulled Spencer over to the sofa "You order and I will pick out the film".

Before long their takeout had arrived, they had cracked open a bottle of wine and settled on the sofa for the night.

.....

Ashley gazed out of her living room window and sighed. Spencer hadn't answered her phone earlier and she hadn't returned her message either. She was still in shock over what had happened at the office and had been non stop thinking over what Kyla had told her, "I hate to admit it Kyla but you were right".

She sat down on her sofa and flicked through the channels on telly "God damn it, why is nothing ever on when you need a distraction".

Ashley needed a release and she knew there was only one thing in the world that would work, she walked upstairs into her home studio and proceeded to sing her sorrows away.
