Ashley drove and drove until she reached the carlins driveway. She sat there a moment in thought and then finally called spencer on her cell phone.

"Im here." she spoke and hung up the phone. Ashley sat there for what felt like an hour waiting. But it was only 2 minnutes. The world never seemed to move for ashley unless she was with spencer.

Spencer finally opened the front door and rushed out to the driveway. She had apparently been very anxiouse for her next encounter with ashley.

She got in the car without a word or a glance. Not until ashley backed out of the driveway. Spencer slowly lifted her hand off the armrest and pushed it towards one of the hands on the steering wheel but pulled back an inch. She went forward anyways. She lightly peeled the hand off the steering wheel and held it in hers. She brought it back on the arm rest without looking at Ashley.

She knew that whenever she looked at ashley, she couldnt look away. She would stare for hours if she had the chance. So spencer looked out the window as they pulled into ashleys driveway. Ashley finally pushed out some words she had wanted to say.

"we can hang out here until later. I have something planned for tonight." She siged in releif of getting the words out of her mouth. Spencer agreeded and then just as she let go of ashleys hand to open the car door ashley pulled her back in.

"what?" spencer spoke without a meaning as ashley grasped spencers cheek in her palm very lightly. She looked into spencers eyes deeply looking for meaning. Spencers eyes darted from ashleys lips to her eyes and back at her lips. She slowly moved in and planted a kiss on ashleys lips that will imprint a memory on ashleys mind.

Ashley kisses back but the second the kiss is intesified by the thrust of a tounge, spencers cell phone rings. She picks it up in anger and ashley sighs the same.

"hello?" spencer spoke.

"where did you go? you were not supposed to leave home today. Glen needs you." Paula spoke with intensity knowing spencer was with ashley.

"mom, glen borke his leg. He isnt going to just die randomly. Okay?" Spencer spoke with more attitude she had ever given her mother. She could feel the sting of a slap across her face. It wasnt a literal slap, but it was from the way paula was silent for a while with heavy breathing anger.

She finally spoke. "that girl has changed you. She has changed you and i dont like it! Now youhave 2 choices. Come live at home. Or Continue to hang out with ashley, and you can live with her." Spencer was shocked. Paula didnt know they were dating, but this was such a strong altimatum(sp?) for her being with a friend.

Spencer looks at ashley worriedly as she thinks for a second and ponders.

Ashley is amazing and i love her to death. But what if she doesnt feel the way i do? what if she is in this for one thing. The make-out sessions. Where would i be if she broke my heart? She would never break my heart. She handles me like a million dollar peice of fine china.

"i’ll be right home mom." With that spencer hung up. And looked at ashley.

Ashley could hear the whole conversation b/c of the loudness of spencers phone. Ashley had tears in her eyes and a burning in her heart. Before she let her tears fall she started the car and put both hands tightly on the wheel. Her knuckles were white. Spencer spoke to ashley.

"ashley, im-" Spencer was cut off by ashley’s intense verbal emotion.

"Save it. I dont need this in my life. I have more important things to worry about." ashleys words even shocked herself. It was a lie. Spencer was the most important thing in her life. She didnt want to give that up but she had no choice.  She did what she had to do and tried hard to brush it off. as she drove spencer home on the longest, most quiet car ride of her life.
