Growing Up – (Chapter: Unresolved)
I take a minute and consider calling her; wondering if I am too late. I pick up my cell phone, type in her speed dial and press send.
I quickly flip my phone shut before it has a chance to connect. I decide that stirring up that kind of emotion right before an exam is not the smartest idea and resolve to visit her over the summer break to make things right. I resume my studying and for four straight days I am a walking zombie; overloaded with seemingly useless knowledge I am certain I will forget within two hours of the end of each exam. Back in the dorm after my last test, Dani and I pop open Dr. Pepper’s to celebrate.
“Whew! One year down!”
“Cheers to that!” I say in relief that the hell of this year is finally over. “You really have to come down and visit over the summer.”
“Oh definitely, I’m sure I’ll get sick of Jeff ten minutes after I get home and almost wish to be back at school.” After we finish our drinks, we carry out belongings to our cars, loading them in. She turns to face me as we both close our trunks. “Make sure you call me.”
“You too!”
“Promise me something, Ash?”
“Sure.”
“Promise me you’ll call Spencer. Even if it’s to officially end your friendship. You can’t leave something like that up in the air.” I wrap my arms around her and squeeze her tightly.
“I will.”
I drive home plagued by her words, ‘officially end your friendship’. I can not even wrap my mind around the concept. Why wouldn’t Spencer and I be able to work this out? It is not like we never had a fight before. Of course those of the past were not nearly as complicated, but still; we can get through this. I wish I knew when she is coming home. It comes as an unsettling surprise that for the first time, I feel uncomfortable about the idea of calling Mr. C. Instead of calling I drive directly to Spencer’s house. At the side door, I stand for a minute contemplating whether I should use my key or knock. Trying to be as casual as possible, I just walk in. I see Clay filling a glass at the sink and her turns around to look at me.

Crying at work on a day like this is expected.. but GEEZ! Ash needs to be shaken awake and stop acting like such a zombie! And if it makes you continue writing, I’m happy to post ALL of my random thoughts related to your story, and every other fic writer that I read… they would of course be longer than the story itself, but I’m TOTALLY prepared to do it, because fic rocks, and you write one hell of a rockin’ fic!

I actually did read this chapter twice. Once while at work, which left me an emotional wreck, as well as just now…which still left me an emotional wreck but in the confines of my own home. I love this story so please continue to post regularly.

combatbaby says
Whoa…no. That can’t happen. Jess and Spencer forever?!! No way. I know I said Ash should move on, but not like forever. This.Is.Heartbreaking. I mean, really. Spencer can’t be with Jess. And the whole “returning the key” thing is too much. I’m going to go cry now. I love this though :)
Jordan says
Ok, this is the sadest post ever!! I cried!! Why in the world are you doing this??!!! These two belong with no one else but each other. I cannot tell you how sad I am right now. Please, please find a way for these two to be together. And I cannot believe that Ashely gave her key back! But you know what I do not blame her. I would have done the same thing. I just hope Spencer sees it and thinks twice about her relationship with Jess. Please mend my heart, all of our hearts!, and put these two back together.
PNKer says
But… no! It’s her home! Sorta kinda… Aww not fair..

lol drastic. ok so its not easy getting over people but everyone does eventually. i’m not saying getting over someone means a clean cut because emotional investment always leaves residue and all we can try to do is keep that to a minumum. spencer cleaned up pretty nice and made good time at it and now it seems like ashleys getting there too. so i guess i’m just confused to as why ashley needs to go all or nothing esp when spencers been with jess for a while now.

Wicked1 says
Aaaaaahhhhhhh *grabs chest* well actually that was 2 hours ago when I initially read it on my sidekick 2, but I couldn’t leave a comment, so I came back. After I read this update, I was saying “She didn’t even react” out loud, for like 40 minutes afterwards. This fic is just heart-wrenching, but its so good. I can’t believe Spencer didn’t tell Ash she was back in town, and she didn’t even say anything while Ash was there, that fuckin sux. Plus, I have had something like that happen to me in the past, and eventhough currently we are back friends, it has never been the same as it was. I can’t believe Spencer is getting an apartment, out there, with that Ash-wannabe. Im interested to see what is actually gonna happen next. When Ash put down the key on the counter, I was so sad. Will Spencer run outside and stop Ash? Will Ash go on a drinking spree….Throw her self off a cliff? This sucks. Please update again soon.

Alarmclock says
Wha?! UH!! OK, I need to just calm down. *Takes a deeeep breath* All right, so things can still work out between Spencer and Ashley. Here’s what has to happen: Jesse invites Spencer to go with her to a daytime talk show (maybe Maury) to share a secret with her. Spencer goes with Jesse and Jesse reveals to her that she is a post-op transexual. Even though there is nothing wrong with transexuals, Spencer decides that she can’t be with Jesse anymore because had been lying to her the whole time about having been born a man! Then, of course, Spencer runs back to Ashley and Ash accepts her! YAY! They will be together again!! Seriously, though, this is a great story. Please, continue soon.

rockingirl says
Finally you post but you manage to break my heart twice, first with your drastic measures and then with the way this story finished! How many times does Ashley need to be punch so she can realize that she has to open up to Spencer! I’ve got no idea how’s going to be the next chapter and I’m dying here!

It’s not complete yet, but this is already one of my favorite Spashley stories. Really. Amazing writing. I get excited every time I see an update. :] This last part was heartbreaking. Poor Ash. I just wanna give her a hug. Things aren’t going so well for her right now, but I have faith that she’ll get the girl in the end. I mean, this is a ‘Spashley’ fic after all. Right? Right. So, a happy ending is in store for us…I hope. :]

I do actually read your story like 200 times I should probably review everytime…my bad. Anyway, I don’t like the Jess-bot no no no no. But I am afraid that Spencer has moved on, maybe Ashley should tell her about HER bot and then Spencer will get all jealous (like I know she will). Great update, as always, don’t take a whole week, I was off in vacations and I thought i would have 4 or 5 growing up updates, i’m sad that is only one
