“No…” Ashley took a few steps toward Spencer who didn’t see.

“But you’re going to, right…my locker…” Spencer was looking down in thought, “You’re blood…”

“My blood?” Ashley asked now standing inches from her girlfriend trying to catch her eyes. She reached out, her fingers touching Spencer’s bare arm.

“NO!” Spencer tried to use both her hands to push Ashley away but Ashley grabbed both of them and spun the blonde around until she was holding Spencer’s arms crisscrossed and Spencer’s body was pressed up against hers.

“I’m stronger than you so let’s not play this game,” Ashley said holding on tight to Spencer so she couldn’t try and hit her again.

Spencer’s legs buckled and she fell down crying, Ashley dropped to so Spencer was still in her arms, “You can’t be here!”.

“Shhhh,” She rocked her girlfriend back and forth as Spencer sobbed, “It’s all right.”

“No its not, I don’t wanna lose you.”

“You’re not going to lose me, I’m here…” Ashley stroked Spencer’s cheek, pushing hair out of her face and twirling it between her fingers. Spencer and her sat on the floor for what seemed like forever until Spencer lay sleeping in Ashley’s arms.

The Next Day

Spencer didn’t want to move, she was wrapped in Ashley’s arms. Both lying on the floor, blankets draped over their bodies. Ashley’s skin felt smooth as Spencer stroked her hand causing the brunette to stir.

“Hey,” Spencer didn’t see her but the tone of her voice told her Ashley was smiling.

Twisting slightly so she could stare at the teen holding her, “Hey.” Spencer tried to smile but it faltered. Ashley tilted her head and ran her fingers threw Spencer’s hair.

“How’d you sleep?”

“Let’s go away…”

Ashley sat up slightly, “Away…why?”

“You, me, Glen, Aiden, Clay…everyone, even Madison.” Spencer ignored Ashley’s question, “Skip prom and just leave.”

“That doesn’t sound like you, what have you done with my Spencer?” Ashley joked but it mad Spencer look away, “Sorry…I didn’t mean…”

“It’s okay,” Spencer shook her head, “I love you.” Spencer pulled Ashley in for a heavy passionate kiss. Usually Ashley was the one catching Spencer off guard but not this time, when they parted Ashley had to gasp for air.

“Spencer…that was new.” Her eyes were wide, new…different…and very nice.

“I just need to show you how much I love you.”

“Wait,” Ashley laid a finger on Spencer’s lips as she came to kiss her again.

“Don’t you want me?”

“More than anything but if you really want to show me that you care…talk to me?” Ashley told her.

“About what?” Spencer knew it was a stupid answer.

“Cute, you know what?” This was the first conversation where Ashley was doing most of the talking instead of Spencer and she liked it.

Spencer stood up allowing the covers to drop and rushed to her closet, Ashley stood too. A bag came flying out and landed on the floor, Spencer then followed suit with an armful of clothes, “You should bring that wind breaker I bought you.” She spoke folding cloths into the bag.

Ashley pressed her lips together, “My wind breaker…something tells me your stalling. Nice tactic but it stopped working when we became more than friends.”

“Stalling…I’m not,” Spencer stopped packing when Ashley pulled the bag away. Their fingers intertwined and eyes meet.

“I’m not going to ask again. Tell me or I walk?” It was a drastic measure and she was worried about pulling it but she felt like she had no other choice. Spencer stared at the ground not moving, “Fine…” Hesitating for a second Ashley finally headed toward the door.

“Wait!” Spencer ran up and spun Ashley back to her, the brunette brushed tears away from Spencer’s cheeks.

“You can tell me anything.” Ashley smiled and the two sat down on the bed.
