Los Angeles, Freeway, California: Ashley and Kyla

"Wow, those paparazzi were really crazy." Kyla looked over at Ashley in concern. Ashley stayed quiet and continued to look at the L.A traffic. Kyla looked at the ground and then back at Ashley. "Are you OK Ash?" Ashley swerved over to side of the freeway well cars honked and swerved to get out of her way. When she made it to the side she parked and turned the ignition off. Kyla was hanging on to the door handle for dear life. She had a panic in her eyes and she was hyper ventilating. Kyla and Ashley sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Ashley spoke, "everything's about to change." Ashley put her hand on the steering wheel and layed her head down on the wheel. "Oh Ash why are you so bothered by this?"

"I don't know. Its just Spencer just took a head dive into her life and she is so happy. Her grandmother finally is trying to except her. I don't want the paparazzi making huge tabloids about Spencer being gay."

"Oh Ash…" Kyla unbuckled her seat belt and moved over to put a comforting hand on Ashley's shoulder. "everything will be ok Ashley," Kyla rubbed Ashley's back. Ashley raised her head to look out at the free way. She watched as cars of all colors pass by her. She felt as though her life was stuck on repeat of past events. "I just don't know Kyla I wish that with popularity paparazzi wouldn't bug us so much."

"I know but you know that you're just going to have to deal with it. It's L.A. Ash… sooner or later its going to drive you insane. Talk this over with Spencer maybe she will have the right thing to say. She is apart of your life too." Ashley nodded her head. "Yea" she put the keys back in the ignition and turned the car back on. She sped back into the freeway and cars swerved and honked at Ashley. Kyla clung on the door handle for dear life and closed her eyes hoping they wouldn't crash. Ashley smiled and swerved into and out of multiple lanes. "ASHLEY! CUT IT OUT!" Ashley chuckled and decided on one lane to stay in.

As they got closer to Adiens house Kyla looked out the window. She saw two men jogging ahead in the distance. They were blonde and black haired. "Hey look there's Glen and Adien." Ashley looked over to see Adien and Glen jogging. Well Glen looked more like he was struggling to keep up with Adien. Ashley pulled her car over to the curb waiting for the boys to pass her car. When they did she threw both hands onto the horn. "OW!" Both Adien and Glen grabbed their ears and looked at the car that caused their ears to almost explode. Glen and Adien saw Kyla and Ashley high five and wave at them. 'Oh that's really nice girls. Just go ahead and honk your horn like it wasn't going to injure anyone." Glen said as he raised his hands up in the air. Adien laughed and punched Glen in the arm. "Ouch… dude not cool."

"Don't be such a sissy." Both girls made their way out of the car and next to the boys. Adien and Glen were dressed in muscle shirts and sport shorts. They had sweat stains around their necks signaling they had a hard workout. "Whatcha boys been up too?" Ashley asked as she also punched Glen in the arm. "Ow! Ok really? Since when is it hit Glen day?" he threw his arms up in defeat. "Noted I'll add it to my calendar." Ashley pulled out her phone and made fake typing noises then smiled at Glen. "hardy har har. Anyway we were just in the middle of our twenty mile run. My boy Adien here was having trouble keeping up with me. Ya know me and my huge muscles," Glen flexed his tiny arms as Adien rolled his eyes and both girls laughed. "Ya sure muscle man Glen." Kyla decided to amuse Glen and feel his muscle, "wow, it feels…"

"Rock solid?" Glen said with a huge cheesy smile on his face, "No, I was thinking more along the lines of a bag of pudding." Glen face went from a smile to a frown. Everyone laughed except Glen. "Face it man you got no muscle its all pudding."

"You know one day I will be ripped and you all will be sorry for making fun of me." They all replied at once, "Sure."

"Anyway, what are you girls doing here?" Adien asked as he clapped both his hands together. Ashley casually leaned against her car. "Running from the paparazzi"

"The paparazzi? Why?" Adien asked in disbelief. "Well since the concert they basically attacked me and Madison on the way out of London. I knew sooner or later they would find me. I think someone spotted me at the café with Spencer and Kyla and decided to call the paparazzi. Later the place was just swarming with them."

"They were like vultures. Even when we got in the car they were banging on the window and snapping shots." Glen and Adien raised an eyebrow. "Sorry Ash. How did Spencer take it?"

"Well she scampered off to school before they flew in. We were hoping we could hide at your place until the sun when down so we could head back home after."

"Sure. Hey we can have a barbeque!" Adien threw his hands up. "I'm in! I'm starving and I need me some meat." Glen rubbed his hands together and licked his lips. "A veggie burger would be just fine for me." Kyla said. The group started to walk towards Adiens house. When they got inside Adien grabbed a couple waters and tossed one to Glen. "So is Spencer going to come over too?"

"I don't know I'll call her now." Ashley exited to call Spencer. Glen Kyla and Adien continued to talk over how the day had been going.

Ashley dialed Spencer. Riiiiiing…Riiiiing…Riiiiing. "Hey this is Spencer sorry I couldn't get to the phone, but please leave me a message thanks bye." Beeeeeep, "Hey Spence, Kyla and I are at Adien's house and we are going to have a barbeque so if you want to come will be here. Give me a call ok bye I love you. Ashley hung up the phone and put it against her chin. She looked out at the street and just started to think. She heard the door open and Adien stepped out. "You ok?" Ashley nodded and sat down on the step to his house. Adien blew out some air and took the empty spot right next to her. "What's on your mind Ash?" Ashley continued to look out at the street. Slowly she turned and looked up at Adien. "I don't know, I'm scared about all this celebrity crap. Something bad always happens when I'm in the spotlight."

"You have the right to be scared. Some of those paparazzi are pretty crazy and be careful you don't want any weird pictured turning up in the tabloids of you like Lindsey Lohan or Brittney spears." Ashley laughed and Adien smiled at her, "I'm scared Spencer is going to get swallowed up in this whole famous deal. That she won't be left alone by all these crazy fans or paparazzi. I'm scared that she will be judged and hated on for being with me."

"She will be just fine. Spencer is a smart girl Ash. She knew what she was getting into when she first started to date you. It doesn't matter how famous or not you are. Spencer loves you and always will. Nothing will hurt her just as long as she is with you." Ashley brushed away the few tears that started to form in her eyes, "Thanks dad." They both shared a laugh, "C'mon lets get the grill started. I'll let you push Glen in the pool. He needs a bath anyway." Ashley laughed one more time and hugged Adien. "Thank you." She whispered in his ear. They parted and he grinned. Both of them stood up and made their way back into the house.
