SPENCER’S P.O.V.

Ashley: “Spen, please don’t worry about them during the entire break. I just want to have fun with you. We’ve had enough problems from our own relationship, just please…spend this week with me.” She whispers into my ear.

Ashley: “And I don’t mean just here-” She puts her hand over my heart. “-I mean here too.” She taps the side of my head gently. I just bite my lips together and nod against her head.

We’re in her bed. I’m sitting in front of her, her front to my back, with her arms wrapped around me, her head resting in the crook of my neck.

Ashley: “So tomorrow, what do you think? The beach?” And I just got an idea.

Spencer: “Ok, I promise I won’t think about them during the entire break, but I just got this really great idea that we should do tomorrow to get Julia and Aiden back together.”

Ashley: “What is it Spen?” She asks unenthused. I smile and proceed to tell her.

I’m in the passengers seat of Ashley’s car, with my hands over my ears as Ashley wears out the car horn. She finally lets it go.

Ashley: “Aiden hurry the hell up!!!” She shouts. I look at her, then slowly remove my hands from my ears.

Spencer: “Was that really necessary?” I ask annoyed.

Ashley: “He’s had us waiting out here for fifteen minutes, how long could it possibly take to put on swim trunks, sandals, grab a towel, sun block, and sunglasses? And we even called ahead and told him to be ready!” She says getting aggravated by Aiden’s tardiness, then wailing the horn again.

I cringe at the loudness and pull her hand away from the horn.

Spencer: “Please, lay off the horn! I’d prefer to hear things without needing a hearing aide before I’m even 20.”

I look up and see Aiden stumbling out of his house, trying to lock the door. I see him drop a few things before finally getting the door locked. He picks up the things he dropped and makes his way over to the car, tosses the stuff in and hops over the door and into the car.

Ashley: “Next time use the door.”

Aiden: “Uh huh.” He says, getting comfortable, laying down in the backseat.
