"Spencer…I mean your mom, well she was a complete naive geek, to put it lightly…" Ashley chuckled at the thought of the young blonde in polo shirts and her head buried in books, "I had a bad night due to my mom and her husband…your mom approached me at my locker and asked where some room was but i snapped at her cause she made me spill my coffee and books…"

"Mom wouldn’t do that,"

"I know that it’s just how I felt at the time. I felt so bad the rest of the day and asked around till I found out she was at cheerleading practice," Ashley shruddered at the thought, "I found her waiting for her brother…"

"Uncle Glen?"

"Yeah, Uncle Glen," the words felt odd in her mouth as she really couldn’t see Glen as a good uncle but obviously he was with the bright lite eyes of her daughter when the girl mentioned him, "Anyway I apologized and we became really good friends, than girlfriends."

"That’s it?"

"Well we had are ups and downs just like any other couple, did you know we broke up for a while back in high school?"

AJ shook her head, "No…why did you break up if you loved each other?"

"Did anyone tell you about our prom?" AJ shook her head as she sipped her juice, Ashley bit her lip and sat forward placing her jaw in the palm of her hand, "We went to our junior prom and at the end there was a drive-by shooting."

"Oh my gosh, did anyone get hurt?"

"Yes, a lot of people got hurt. Your mother was shot," AJ gasped in shock, "She was shot twice. In the stomach and the right leg. She was in a coma for a month before she finally gained consiousness again. We stayed together for a while but…she was having a lot of trouble, depression, blamming her self for things that weren’t even close to her fault, concentration problems. Than her father died in a car crash right out side her house, Kyla was in it as well…"

"Aunt Kyla was in a car accident!"

"Yep. Both her legs got broken and she couldn’t walk for a long time. Spencer and I both witnessed it and than her mother blamed her for the death cause she was so upset. Spencer had a lot of anger issues on top of all of this and she finally broke up with me." Ashley finished with a deep breath wondering if she should have mentioned that she started pulling away first by not answering the phone calls from Spencer but in the end she thought it didn’t matter any way.
