PREVIOUSLY:   After a few more “oh Spencer’s” and “Don’t stops” Paula entered the restroom right as Ashley walked out of the stall, Ashley saw Paula and she pushed Spencer back in before Paula could see her. Paula saw Ashley come out of the stall. 

________________________________________________________________________ 

Paula: “Oh, hi Ashley. I was looking for you and Spencer, is she in here?” Spencer heard this.

Spencer’s thoughts: “What the hell mom? Do you have some kind of Spencer radar?”

Ashley: “Uh, I’m not sure, she’s probably waiting outside.” She said hoping Paula would leave. Spencer decided to just crawl under, and go to a stall further away from the one she was in. “Come on, let’s go look for her.” she said walking towards the door.

Spencer: “Mom, I’ll be out in a minute.”

Ashley: “Oh…Spencer, I didn’t know you were in here.” she said in a fake her discovering tone, horribly. Paula looked at her, Ashley shrugged her shoulders trying to play it off.

Spencer: “Uh…yea.” she said cautiously. Paula looked at the stall, then curiously at Ashley. Ashley walked out.

Paula: “Alright, I’ll be waiting outside.” She walked out and sat on the bench next to Ashley, but left a good distance between them. “So…”

Ashley: “So…”

Ashley’s thoughts: “Awkward moment. Especially since I just did things that you can never know about, with your daughter. Being around her makes me feel…invalid.”

Paula: “So…how are you and Aiden doing?”

Ashley: “Huh?” she furrowed her eyebrows.

Ashley‘s thoughts: “What the hell is she talking about? I wish Spencer would hurry up and come out of there.”

Paula: “You and Aiden. Are you still dating.”

Ashley’s thoughts: “Oh! That’s right, I forgot.”

Ashley: “Oh, yea. Were having a lot of problems though so…who knows what’ll happen.”

Paula: “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.” long pause of silence “So what kind of problems are you having?” Ashley gave her an aggravated look

Ashley’s thoughts: “None of your damn business. She’s so fucking nosey, at this rate she’ll find out about me and Spencer before we get back to L.A.”

Ashley: “Uh…we’re…” Spencer finally walked out

Spencer: “Ok, I’m ready.”

Ashley’s thoughts: “Ugh, thank God!” she let out a sigh.

Spencer: She saw Ashley with an annoyed look on her face. “Mom! What have you been saying to her?” she whined

Paula: “Nothing Spencer. I just want to get to know her a little better.”

Spencer: “No please.” She said with an attitude grabbing Ashley by the arm she began to walk away.

Paula: “Where are you going?” she asked in a curious, yet sad tone.

Spencer: “We’re…” she pointed back and fourth to Ashley and herself. “…going on more rides.” she said coldly. Before Paula could say anything else, Spencer walked away, pulling Ashley’s arm. Once they were away from Paula Ashley stopped, pulling her arm away from Spencer’s grip.

Ashley: “Spencer what’s wrong with you? I know your mom can be a bitch, but don’t you think that was just a little too harsh?” She looked at Spencer confused.

Spencer: “No, If she kept interrogating you, she probably would have found out about us!”

Ashley: “Look, Spence, I know your scared, but back there that wasn’t you. That’s not the Spencer I know…you sounded like…” she paused for a while. “…you sounded like me.” she said feeling guilty. Spencer gave Ashley a surprised look and realized, Ashley was right.
