Los Angeles, California: Spencer and Ashley

Ashley woke up the next day alone. She felt the cold empty side of the bed where Spencer once layed. She felt a piece of paper that was stuck in the pillow. She pulled it out and read what Spencer left her. It said in girly hand writing:

Hey sorry had to run I have class can we meet for lunch?

Love You,

Spence 3

Aw Spence I love you. Ashley thought to herself. Ashley swung her legs over the side of the bed and grabbed her robe on the bedside table.

She walked out into the dining room and saw Kyla sipping coffee while reading the daily magazine. She had an un eaten bagel right next to the magazine. "Gooood Morning sleeping beauty." Ashley smiled and rubbed her the back of her head with one arm. "Mmm what time is it?"

"Noon."

"Oh no!"

"What?" Ashley was wide eyed. She ran back into her room. A couple minutes later came rushing out fully dressed. Kyla just turned the page and laughed. "I'm late I have to meet Ethan and Madison."

"Better hurry." Kyla raised her mug to take sip. Ashley slipped on her shoes and hurried out the door. "Bye!" Kyla yelled after her. Kyla giggled at her sister. Ashley ran back in the door and over to Kyla grabbing her bagel, "Hey! that's-"

"My breakfast." Ashley put the bagel in her mouth and ran out the door grabbing her car keys on the way.

UCLA Campus, Los Angeles, California: Spencer and Gabe

Gabe and Spencer were sitting down in their editing class. Gabe was going over some of the basic tools of editing. They were laughing when a professor came up to Gabe, "Gabe! There you are I have been looking all over for you." Gabe and Spencer just looked up at the professor. "Your film that you submitted into the local festival won!."

"Oh my god!."

"Whoa!" Gabe had a look of disbelief on his face as Spencer hugged him. "Congratulations!" Gabe smiled and leaned more into the hug. Gripping Spencer tighter. Spencer felt uncomfortable and pulled away. She smiled shyly. "Well Gabe I will go talk to the professors and see about contacting a studio for a visit. Congrats." The professor patted Gabe on the shoulder and left. "Wow Gabe that's amazing."

"I know. I may actually get a major feature film done here." Spencer smiled. "Hey why don't we celebrate. How about we go out to lunch?" Spencer smiled, but realized that she was going to have lunch with Ashley. "Um actually I was going to have lunch with my girlfriend…"

"Oh, well maybe a rain check?"

"Why don't you come with."

"Really?"

"Yea sure."

"Thanks." Spencer smiled at him and he smiled back. "Hey I'll be right back I'm going to go talk with our professor real quick." Spencer nodded and her smile disappeared as Gabe left. She knew Ashley was not going to be very happy. She was going to be in the dog house tonight.

Ashley was sitting outside a resturaunt waiting for Spencer. She had on golden aviators with silver sides. She was wearing denim short shorts with a pink top on. She was on the phone with Ethan talking about concert stuff when she saw Spencer walking down the side walk, "Oh hey Ethan I will call you back," Ashley got up when Spencer approached her. They hugged and Ashley kissed her girlfriend on the cheek. She still had her phone to ear when Spencer mouthed to her, "Who is it?"

"Yea…hey Ethan I have to go…Yea…I know…Bye." Ashley hung up as she took a deep breath out, "Sorry."

"It's ok."

"So I've been looking forward to seeing you all day-" Ashley paused as she saw Gabe walking down the path and up behind Spencer, "and you brought Gabe with you." Ashley put on a fake smile and Gabe returned a smile. "Hello Ashley." Spencer clapped together and interlaced her fingers, "Yes, I did he just won the film festival so I thought we could celebrate…I hope you don't mind." Ashley just looked at Spencer. This was one of those awkward moments, "No, I don't." Ashley sat down across the table from Spencer and Gabe. The whole lunch Ashley was quiet as Spencer and Gabe talked about film. As the check came Gabe offered to pay. He grabbed the check, "I got this." Ashley took the check out of his hands, "No, its on me. Congratulations." He smiled brightly at Ashley, "Thanks."

"No problem." Ashley paid and got up, "I have to go." Spencer jumped up after her, "Where? School is out I thought we could hang out."

"Um actually I really have to go." Ashley started to walk to her car. Spencer ran to catch up with her and stood in her way. "Ash what is going on with you?" Ashley rolled her eyes, but it what covered by her glasses so Spencer couldn't see. "Look I don't want to be the third wheel here with your film pal."

"Ash…" Ashley cut her off, "Spencer don't." Ashley took her glasses off, "Look I'm on call I shouldn't even be here. I'll call you later ok?"

"Ash…"

"Bye Spence." Ashley put her glasses back on and got into her car. She pulled out as Spencer just crossed her arms and watched her back out. Ashley looked at Spencer one last time before speeding into the road. Gabe came up behind Spencer and put his hands on her shoulders. "Did I do something?" Spencer rubbed her forehead. "No…were just…just going through some stuff."

"Hey want to go for a walk?"

"Sure." Spencer and Gabe headed off in the opposite direction off Ashley.

Ashley parked her car and got out. She was back at the set up studio hall for the concert. As she walked in Ethan ran up to her, "Ashley you're late." Ashley was walking fast and Ethan was trying desperately to keep up with her. "I know Ethan. You left me many messages stating that." Ethan started to babble some more as they walked up to the stage. The studio was crazy. There were people everywhere trying to get everything done for the concert. Ashley rolled her eyes at everything Ethan was saying to her. She finally sent him away to get her coffee. She watched as people ran around like chickens with there heads cut off. She walked to the edge of the stage and sat down. "Rough day." Ashley turned her head to see Madison standing behind her. Ashley took a deep breath. "Yep." Madison sat down along side Ashley, "Lemme guess…Spencer brought an unexpected guest to lunch."

"Gabe."

"Hmm sorry."

"Yea…I don't hate the guy. Its just totally obvious he has something for Spencer and I don't trust him. I've tried playing nice, but I just don't like the way he looks at her." Madison nodded, "I don't want Spencer angry at me but I have so much going on. I don't want the stress of Gabe hitting on Spencer to go along with it." Ashley played with her fingers and looked at the ground, "Well Ashley do you trust Spencer?"

"With my life."

"Then quit your complaining. Spencer is a smart individual. Even if Mr. Casanova made a move Spencer would be quick to either kick his ass or set him straight." Ashley smiled. A person came up to both girls, "Madison were going to need you for wardrobe fitting."

"Ok be there in a little." the guy walked away. "Well we will talk about this tomorrow. For right now you need to go through sound check and go home to your girlfriend." Ashley smiled, "Ok." Madison took off to wardrobe. Ashley smiled to herself. Maybe she needed to just trust Spencer. Maybe she needed to get over Gabe. He wont be around for very long. She smiled to herself as Ethan signaled her over for sound check. She happily trotted over.

Beach side walk, Los Angeles, California: Spencer and Gabe

Spencer and Gabe were walking along a side walk with a tiny stone wall on their right. Separating them from the beach. Gabe stopped and sat down on the wall. Spencer joined him, "So why are you having issues with Ashley?" Spencer raised an eyebrow at him, "If you don't mind me asking."

"No its fine. Just kind of a personal topic."

"Oh sorry."

"No its ok. I trust you." Gabe smiled and showed his dimples in his cheeks. Spencer didn't know why but she could trust Gabe with stuff she wanted to talk about. "Just she doesn't seem to want to trust me."

"Oh trust issues."

"Yea."

"Those are hard ones. Why doesn't she trust me." Spencer was hesitant to tell Gabe. She didn't want to hurt him. "Is it because of me?" Spencer couldn't bring herself to look him in the eyes. "Oh man I should have known. She doesn't like me huh?"

"Well…not really. I mean she is being paranoid over nothing." It was an awkward silence for a moment before Gabe finally spoke up. "She should be…"

"Why?" Gabe fidgeted before speaking, "Spencer I like you." He grabbed Spencer's hand and put the other on her thigh. "I cant help it. The way you are…Spencer I want to be with you." Spencer was in complete shock. She didn't know what to do. She didn't know whether to leave or talk to him. Gabe just kept talking, but Spencer just blocked it out. She seemed to just be dazed. Ashley was right. Spencer got up and started to walk away. Gabe jumped up, "Spencer." He took Spencer's arm and turned her around and went right for the kiss. As their lips met Spencer immediately pulled away. "Gabe! I don't want to be with you. I love Ashley." Gabe just tried to kiss her again he was interrupted by a slap in the face by Spencer. He rubbed the spot she slapped as Spencer stormed off down the side walk.

When she got home Ashley dumped her keys into the tray by the door. Spencer appeared around the corner. "Hey."

"Hey."

"You were right."

"About?"

"Gabe." Ashley walked over to Spencer. Spencer just hugged Ashley and put her head down on Ashley's shoulder. "What happened?"

"He kissed me." Spencer muffled in Ashley's shoulder.

"What?" Spencer pulled away from Ashley and looked her in the eyes. "Don't worry I slapped him." They were silent with still faces for a minute until Ashley broke out into laughter. "Sorry Spencer." She just smiled and Ashley kept laughing, "Oh shut up." Spencer walked to the room. "Aw Spencer I'm sorry. I promise not to laugh." Spencer rolled her eyes and walked into the bedroom. Ashley giggled, "I can hear you giggling."

"Sorry." Ashley walked into the bedroom to be with her girlfriend.
