With ashley’s free hand she picked up the headphones and handed one of the buds to spencer. "Want to listen?" Spencer took the bud and placed it in her ear. Letting the sounds of AFI drift through the headset.

Bring your secrets to me
Just give me your hand and
i’ll let you feel the wounds they put in me.

If you believe in me,
How can i be dissolving?
If you’d believe me,
I’d tell you everything.

Do you fall too?
(everytime that i)
Yes, I fall
(everytime that i)
Do you want to,
(i’ll be passing by)
Fall into me?
(fall into me)
(fall into me)
Into me.

About 13 songs later the elevator began to move again and The couple just raised their head and looked at eachother. It had been the most comfortable hour that their young lives have experienced. They slowly stood as they arrived on level two of the mall. They stepped out and found spencers jacket before heading down the steps. From far away, spencer could see her mother standing woried.

Spencer grabbed ashleys hand as they stepped off the stairway. "So what are we doing tonight?" spencer asked with a huge smile. And ashley smiled back as the continued to walk.

Paula’s eyes fell upon them as ashley was whispering a dirty joke into spencers ear. Spencer blushed through her laugh until she felt paula approach her. "Oh, hey mom. Sorry i took so long, the elevator got stuck." Spencer was acting as if nothhing was happening, but she was shaking a bit and ashley could feel it. She loosened her grip on the blondes hand in case she wanted to let go, but spencer squeezed tightly signifying it was okay. Ashley felt her face flush with a pink blush.

"Yeah, so…" spencer began. "Me and ashley are gonna go to her house and hang out for a while." Spencer could feel the evil eyes burning through their joined hands. "So i’ll call you later." Spencer added as she began to walk away.

Paula stepped in front of them keeping them from moving. "Spencer Carlin, you are not leaving here with this peice of garbage." She gave ashley a look of disgust. "I forbid it!" She finished. Spencer almost giggled. "Spencer carlin, you will do what i say, when i say it do you hear me?"

Spencer stepped forward. "Im cutting loose the puppet strings mom." spencer said flatly.

"Spencer, if you dont- if you- With her- and i-" Spencer laughed at her mothers fallen attempt to stop her one last time. She pushed past her and walked away hand in hand with ashley davies, the girl she loved.

Ashley turned around and stuck out her tounge in a pointy shape at paula as spencer laughed at the action. She didnt care anymore. She had been wanting this for so long that now that she had it, she wasnt letting it go. Depite the fact that she knew when she got home, there would be hell to pay. It didnt matter. She was happy.

THE END
