A/N:

Been a while, but here's a very very short update to keep things fresh... ish.

More to come soon (hopefully), i'm just trying to find time between work and mass alcohol consumption and planning trips and Postgraduate courses, to write.

Read, Enjoy, Review.

2 weeks later.

"Hey Spence, can you come in here for a second?" I heard my mom ask from her office.

"What's up?" I stood at the glass door waiting for her to finish typing before she began speaking.

"I have something to ask you." She said smiling at me.

"Okay… shoot" I was slightly worried but sat down in a chair beside her desk.

"Do you know if the girls have any plans for next week?"

"For our break you mean? I don't think so; I mean they probably would have said if they were going somewhere, why?" I eyed her suspiciously, I was untrusting of her smirk.

"Oh, no reason, I was just making idle chat. Thank you sweetheart, I better get back to my work." She said, still smirking.

"O.K." I left the room and went back upstairs trying to figure out what my mother was up to.

I woke up the next day and got ready for school. After packing my bag for field hockey training after school, I made my way downstairs and poured a large cup full of coffee.

"Morning sweetheart." My mom said as she entered the room.

"Morning." I turned and smiled at her.

I finished the last of my coffee and washed off the cup, before saying goodbye to my mom and making my way to Aria's house to collect her before school.

After a very long day of classes, I was at my locker putting books away and taking out my bag for practice when I felt two hands slip around my waist.

"Hey, I missed you." I heard her whisper in my ear.

"I saw you 2 hours ago." I said turning and smiling at her.

"That doesn't mean I don't miss you." She said, pressing her lips to mine. "Wanna do something tonight?"

"Sure, I have practice now but I'll go home and change my clothes and come get you after, sound good?"

"Sounds perfect." She smiled at me and kissed me one last time before disappearing out the door.

After a hard practice I grabbed my water bottle and went inside to shower and get home as quickly as possible.

I opened my locker to grab a towel and checked my phone before I showered.

When the screen came to life, it showed 17 missed calls from Hanna, Emily and Aria and a dozen texts from them. I started panicking noticing that there were absolutely no details in the text, but "GET HOME ASAP" seemed to be the overall message.

Worried out of my mind, I threw my towel back in and grabbed my things, running out the door to get to my car and get home as fast as possible.

The thoughts running through my mind were not helping to calm me down, as I feared something awful had happened.

I pulled into my driveway a short while later and jumped out of my car, running to open the door and running into my house.

As soon as I did, I noticed Hanna, Aria and Emily sitting on the couch in my living room, while my mom, Ella, Pam and Ashley stood across from them.

"What's going on? What's happened?" I asked panting.

"Sit down sweetheart." My mom said smiling. I was really freaking worried now. Reluctantly, I sat down beside Aria who smiled weakly at me, and took my hand, squeezing it hard.

"There's no need to be worried girls, we just have you all here together because we want to give you something." My mom said, before opening her briefcase and handing each of us an envelope with our names written on the front.

We all looked at each other, scared to open them and find out what was inside.

"Come on, open them!" Ella said with a huge grin on her face.

We all slowly opened the envelopes and examined the very slim contents.

"OH MY GOD!" Hanna was the first to react and scream louder than I ever heard her scream before, only cats could understand her now.

"Spence…. I…" Aria said, wide eyed with her jaw on the floor.

I looked at the slip of paper in my hand, and carefully examined it.

"PHL… to…." I couldn't finish the sentence.

"London heathrow!" Emily exclaimed.

"LONDON BABY!" Hanna yelled.

"What? London? We're going to London? All of us?"

"That's right. For Spring Break." I looked up and saw my mom smiling widely and she winked at me.

"Oh my god! I can't believe it! But how?!" I asked.

"Well, I thought it might be nice for you all to have a trip together, for your Senior Year." My mom explained. "So, I called Ella Pam and Ashley to see if it would be okay for me to book a trip for you, they all said yes, and I made the arrangements."

"Everything's going to change for you four soon enough and we all decided that we want you to have a great trip together, just the four of you." Ella said, smiling at her daughter.

Each of us hugged our moms tightly, thanking them and jumping around hugging each other and yelling.

After a few minutes of this, Hanna jumped back.

"Guys this is awesome and all, but Spence we can't keep hugging until you've had a shower, like seriously, do you always just leave after your practice? Talk about bad hygiene." She shook her head disapprovingly.

"You have to be joking! I had 10 messages from you telling me to get my ass home straight away, I thought something had happened so I just left the school right away!" I said.

"Hanna, leave Spencer alone. Spencer, go have a shower." Aria said diplomatically, arms crossed, eyebrows raised.

"Okay okay, I'm going." I said, giving Hanna a death glare before I left.

"NOW SPENCER." She said, and I ran.

"Looks like we're gonna have to be peacemakers on this trip." I heard Emily say.

"Looks like it." Aria said, and I could hear a distinct smile in her voice.

Next week I would be in London with my two best friends and my girlfriend. Unsupervised. To run wild and free. To do what we wanted.

This was gonna be awesome.
