Spencer's POV
"So…I had fun." Ashley says leaning back on the front door to her house. We just got back from dinner. We spent the whole day together just hanging out at my house and then I took her to dinner.
"Yeah?" I take a step closer to her, resting my hands on either side of her face, on the door behind her.
"Yeah," She says leaning forward and kissing me. "I love your kisses."She says pecking me on the lips one more time before resting her forehead on mine.
"I can tell." I say smirking leaning in to kiss her again. "So…" I start as I pull away from the kiss and watching her lick her lips before opening her eyes. "…I guess this is goodnight."
"Yeah," Ashley says looking away as I take a step back. I can tell she wants to say something else but we agreed that today we were going to forget about everything that's going on and be happy today. So she lets it go for right now. "Love you." She says turning to look at me.
"I love you too." I say watching her go into her house.

"It's three in the morning Spence." Ashley answers the phone hours after our date.
"I know… I had to talk to you." I sigh into the phone.
"Okay… what's going on?" I can hear the sleep in her voice.
"You leave in four days." I say into the phone. I can her shuffling on the other end of the phone. She's probably sitting up in bed.
"Yeah… I know."
"You can move in with Mia. Her mo…"
"Spence…" She cuts me off.
"No. Ashley, you can move in with Mia. Her mom doesn't care. She's hardly home anyway. I can get a job, save up for a couple of months and by the end of the summer we can have our own apartment." I rush out so she can't interrupt.
"Spence… I can't." She sighs into the phone.
"Why can't you? You're eighteen." I say not seeing the problem.
"How am I going to support myself? I'm not going to use Mia and her mom."
"I'm not asking you to. I don't know why you don't you just talk to your mom or dad? They can support you until we figure something out." I tell her getting out of bed and pacing my room.
"That's not going to work. My mom wants me to finish of my online classes under her roof and there's nothing I can do to change that. She pays for it."
"Your dad can pay."
"Spencer's he doesn't even know I'm gay or talking. Even if he did he wouldn't pay for me to stay in some small town with my girlfriend."
"I don't want you to go." I say in a small voice minutes later breaking the silence we slipped into after she killed my plan.
"I don't want to go… but I have to." She says. "I'll be back."
"Yeah… in three months. You want even be here for my birthday." I turn eighteen next month. "Plus, if neither of us can support you now. What makes you think it's going to change in three months."
"My mom will take care of it as long as I stay with her for the three months." She says. "She really wants to work on our relationship before I leave." She says as an afterthought.
"Well… I guess I'll see you in three months." I say laying back down on my bed.
"Spence… we still have four days together." She says.
"I know." I say closing my eyes.
"Okay, go to bed and be over here tomorrow morning for breakfast." She says and I can tell she's already feeling the sleep coming back to her.
"K… love you baby."
"Love you Spence."
Ashley's POV
I walk into the kitchen to see my mom over the stove making pancakes. Even thought I hate that she's the reason we're moving, I can't help but to smile at the fact that things are getting better between us. We still have our moments. We still haven't talked about her knowing I was gay all this time, but none the less we're doing better than before. I can't really blame her for taking the job and Washington, it's a good opportunity. I just wish it didn't take me away from the one girl my heart beats for.
"I invited the girls over for breakfast," I start taking a seat at the kitchen bar. "Is that okay?" I ask watching my mom move around the kitchen.
"Well normally people ask that question before they extend inventions, but that's fine. You know I love your friends." She says getting out more pancake mix.
"I know…sorry. I just want to spend as much time with them as I can." I tell her. I wasn't really thinking about asking her when I invited Mia, Jessica and Spencer over for breakfast.
"Hey mom…" I start but the front door bell rings. "I'll get it." I tell my mom and make my way to the door. When I open it I'm greeted with two big smiles. "Hey guys." I say back with my own smile and motion for them to come in. When they walk past I look out to see if Spencer is behind them. She isn't.
"What's up, Ashley?" Jessica says throwing her arm over my shoulder. I just smile at her and look around once more before shutting the door. I turn, putting my arm around Jessica's waist as we make our way to the living room couch.
"I'm surprised you're here this early. I know you're not a morning person." I say letting go off Jessica and sitting down next to Mia.
"I am for a free meal." Jessica says plopping down next to me.
"So… where's Spencer?" I ask after we talk for a couple of more minutes. I decided to ask after my mom yelled that it would be time to eat in five minutes.
"I don't know. We haven't talked to her today. She said she'd call if she needed a ride, but she didn't so…" Mia trails and I nod in understanding. I tell them they can go wash their hands and take a seat at the dining room table. I run up to my room to get my phone to call Spencer and see where she's at.
"Hello." Some unknown sleepy girl voice answers Spencer's phone.
"Um… can I talk to Spencer?" I ask not even wanting to think about who this girl could be.
"Can you call her back? She's talking to her mom." The girl mumbles.
"Who is this?" I ask getting mad.
"Stacy. Who's this?" She asks. I hang up the phone and dial Spencer's house number.
"Hello?" Spencer mom answers the phone.
"Hey, it's Ashley. Can I speak to Spencer real quick?" I ask calmly. She tells me to hold on and I hear some voice and some movement in the back ground.
"Yeah?" Spencer's voice came through the other end.
"You're pose to be over here, having breakfast with me. Not at home shacked up with Stacy." I say growling into the phone.
"Ashley...calm down." She says. "How do you know Stacy's here?" She asks as an afterthought.
"She answered your fucking phone Spencer!" I yell into the phone. I'm glad I shut my door.
"Oh, well it's not what you think it is." She says.
"You know what?" I say calming myself down. "I don't care what it is. You're free to fuck whoever you want. Don't bother coming over here today." I say and hang up the phone. I sit down on my bed to and try to get my emotions under control. I should have known she was going to start acting up when I pointed out all the holes in her plan for me to stay. Just like Spencer to start pissing me off when things don't go her way. My phone rings and I press ignore knowing its Spencer. She calls back and I pick up.
"What?" I say quietly into the phone.
"I'm not fucking Stacy and even if I was it would be none of your damn business! You broke up with me. You're the one leaving! Fuck!" I hear something crash in her background.
"I'm not gone yet!" I yell back into the phone with tears coming down my face.
"I know. I'm counting down the day till you'll be gone and I can fuck someone else without having to listening to my ex-girlfriends fucking whine about it. Hell… I haven't even did anything and you're fucking flipping out. We defiantly would not have made it long distance if this is the way you react to someone just answering my damn phone when we're not even together." Spencer rambles out.
"Fuck you."
"Sorry… I'd rather fuck Stacy. She's already in my bed." I hung up the phone after she said that.

"Your mom let me in…" Spencer says pushing my door open. It's like ten at night and we haven't spoken since the phone call. I'm hurt and pissed at the things she said to me.
"You can let yourself out." I say and continue to stare at myself in the mirror.
"Ashley…" She walks over and stands behind me.
"Don't, Spencer." I say continuing to stare at myself in the mirror.
"I'm sorry." She ignores me and walks up behind me. "Don't cry, baby." She says wrapping her hands around my waist. She gives me a kiss on the cheek. "You know I didn't mean anything I said." I sigh and wipe away my tears.
"Please leave." I say pushing her hands from around me.
"Come on Ash." Spencer says trying to grab me but I move out of her reach.
"Just leave Spencer." I tell her turning away. After a couple of minutes I hear the door shut and I know she gone.
