Spencer staggered off of the busy dance floor a laughing Dylan right behind her, "Dylan that was so much fun but you’ve worn me down! I really need a drink!" Spencer yelled loudly to the tall blonde over the crowd.

"Okay! Would you mind getting me a water? I’m just gonna go outside, get some fresh air," Dylan yelled back over the pounding music.

"Sure! I’ll meet you out there!" Spencer made her way through the crowd stopping right before she reached the bar. A familiar looking brunette was sitting there passed out on the counter top.

"Oh Ashley…" Spencer whispered before making her way over to the unconsious brunette. She tried vainly to wake her up several times. On the third try the brunette raised her head to look up at the blonde. It took her awhile to realize who was standing before her.

"Heyy Spencer," she managed to get out her words slurred together. Spencer even from a few feet away could smell the alcohol on her breath.

"Ashley you’re trashed!"

"What else do you do whenyou find out your girlfriend cheated on you, huh? I wish…I wish a girl like you would be into me. It would make things sooo much easier…" Spencer stepped back trying to register what Ashley had just said. Help her out now figure stuff out later! I’ll take her back to my dorm… I doubt she would want to wake up with Carrie by her side…

"All right come on let’s go…" with an effort Spencer slung Ashley over her shoulder and headed toward the front door. On the way there tears started to come from Ashley’s eyes and Spencer seeing this stopped for a moment. She couldn’t help herself. She embraced the brunette. Ashley placed her head into the crook of Spencer’s neck. Spencer meanwhile whispered comforting words into the shorter girl’s ear. Once Ashley’s tears had slowed the blonde helped carry her the rest of the way out.

"Dylan! A lil’ help here!"

"Spencer?" Dylan began walking fast toward Spencer and Ashley. When he caught sight of the brunette slung across my shoulder his walking turned to running, "Oh my God! What happened to Ashley?!"

"I’ll explain in the car…just," I grunted from the strain, "help me get her to my dorm!"
