Spencer's POV

"So still no luck with Ashley?" Aiden ask taking a seat next to me on my bed.

"Uh… I think she hates me." I tell him putting my head in my hands. Ashley hasn't talked to me and has refused to see me since she kicked me out of her room. I've apologize a thousand times. Her voice mail box is full with messages I left telling her how sorry I am and how much I love her.

"Come on Spence. She doesn't hate you." Aiden says bumping shoulders with me. Aiden, Mia and Jessica have been trying to get me to lighten up but how can I when things are so screwed up with Ashley and me.

"You didn't hear the things I said." I tell him wiping away some stray tears. Aiden continues to tell me how everything is going to be ok for about an hour before he leaves and I end up falling asleep.

! #$%^%$#

"Ugh…go away Matt." I mumble when I feel something poke me in the side. Matt usual wakes me up that way when he wants to play but I'm too tired. I need sleep. I feel the poke again and try to swat his hand away, while keeping my eyes closed in turning onto my side. Then the next thing I feel is soft lips pressed to mine. I open my eyes and see Ashley pulling away from me.

"Hey." I whisper out after several minutes of staring at each other.

"I leave tomorrow." She says lying on her side next to me. "I'm going to miss you so bad." She says staring at me.

"I'm going miss you too. It hurts just thinking about it." I tell her moving closer.

"Look, I know there will be other girls…"She starts.

"Ashley I didn't mean…" I try to cut her off but she cuts me off with her lips. We share a slow, gentle kiss.

"Just listen." She says pecking me on the lips before pulling away a little. "I know what you said yesterday was out of anger and frustration or what not. But you were right about some things. We are not together anymore. So I have no say in who you're with, neither do you with me." She says and I try to cut her off but she puts her hand up to silence me. "When I come back, if our feelings don't change and everything works out in our favor… then we can get back together. But right now we need to start acting as friends and nothing more."

"Okay," I give her a sad smile. "But I still want a goodbye kiss."

"Oh, believe me. I wasn't going to leave without one." She says and we just stare at each other.

"Ash?" I ask, breaking our silence. Ashley looks up from the cover design she was tracing with her fingers. "I'm sorry about yesterday. I don't know what got into me and I feel like shit for the way I acted." I say wiping my tears away. I still can't believe I said all that stuff. Ashley is the love of my life and I can't believe I said those terrible things to her. "You have to know that nothing happened with Stacy, before or after we got into it. She came over the night before drunk and I was just taking care of her as a friend. I didn't even sleep in the same room with her."

"It's okay Spence. I forgive you. Just don't let it happen again." When she says that I know she's referring to the way I talked to her. "And I'm sorry for how jealous I got."

"I want and it's okay," I say with a little smile. "So, what are you planning on doing until you leave?"

"Spending time with you," She says grinning.

Ashley POV

I can't believe I'm actually leaving. I can't believe I'm leaving Spencer. Yesterday was spent in her room cuddled up on her bed watching movies. I spent the night and her mom brought us to my house early this morning. Mia, Aiden, Jessica and even Glen and Paige just got here an hour ago to start saying goodbye.

Now I'm in my living room hugging my friend's goodbye. Shane and his friends are on the porch say goodbye to each other.

"Gosh, Ash…I'm going to miss you." Jessica says squeezing me before letting go. I tell her I'll miss her and call before Glen pulls me into a bear hug.

"I don't know what to say, but come back in see us." He says letting me go.

"I will." I say looking over at Spencer who is sitting on the stairs watching me say goodbye to all the people she introduced me to. We haven't spoken really since everyone got here. We've just been sharing smiles and long glances.

Paige steps up next.

"You were so good for and to my sister. And from what I heard she was good to you to." She says hugging me. "Don't forget us." She says stepping back. I finish saying goodbye to everyone and they leave to wait on the front porch while I say goodbye to Spencer.

"Hey." I say walking over to Spencer, taking her hands and pulling her up.

"What's up beautiful?" She says following me threw the house and onto the back porch. I brought her to the back porch because this is where we met.

I sit on the porch and Spencer moves to stand between my legs. We rest our foreheads on each other's and peck each other on the lips every couple of minutes.

"I want you to know that you're permanent." I start pulling back a little to look her in the eyes. "There might be other girls to occupy the time for both of us and maybe there won't. Neither one us can promise we won't get lonely or whatever. And that's okay because I want you to be happy. I want to be happy. And I'm okay being friends for now. But…" I take one of her hands and put it over my heart. "They're just temporary; my love for you is permanent. You're permanent." I tell her wiping away her tears. "I love you Spencer and I'm going to come back to you."

"Love you too, baby." She says pulling me into a deep, passionate filled kiss.

After that we promised each other that we'd call each other. And we made out a little more before we slipped back into our friend roles. She walked me to the car and I watch her get smaller as I drove away.
