Spencer was broken, inside and out. She hadn’t gotten up all day, even though her house and cellphone were ringing constantly, and a few times her doorbell even was sounded. She needed to talk to Ashley, and she was aware Ash was the culprit to the ringing and knocking of her door and communication devices, but she just couldn’t find the strength in her to answer.

Please don’t save me.

"Go away." The blonde stately apethetically.

"I’m not leaving you, Spencer. Just like I’m not letting YOU leave ME." Spencer poked her head out of her covers on the couch, and stared at her girlfriend contently.

Ashley slipped off her sandals (that were the WORST possible shoes to wear, it was freezing in L.A.), and rubbed her hands briskly to warm them. She quietly sat next to the balled up form of her girlfriend, and positioned herself under the blanket, cozying up with the mourning blonde.

Spencer shuffled her legs closer to her body, trying to make some sort of comfortable, or rather uncomfortable, distance between the two, which ended to no avail. Ashley just scooted herself closer with each space revealed.

"Spence, quit trying to shut me out. I’m not leaving, I told you. I won’t let you fade away from me." She circled little patterns with her finger on the girl’s knee. A silent tear fell from Spencer face.

"Ashley, I don’t want to leave you. But I…I just can’t leave you! I don’t know anyway to have my mom let me stay!" The volume of her cries increased, making Ashley take a sharp increase of breath, and slowly exhale, trying to decide what to do.

"Let’s talk to your dad, okay? Or, just you can. I think it would be more heart-felt if I wasn’t there. Baby, just explain to him how you can’t leave now… How school’s too important, and find something about Ohio thats bad. I’m sure he’ll do his very best to keep you with him…" She tried to sooth the upset girl.

Spencer nodded. "Ash, I know you’re trying to do everything to make me feel better,"The crying had subsided by now, "But… Just, stop trying. Okay? I’m sorry. I just can’t take thinking about it any longer." Defeat took over Ashley’s emotions, and she sighed, nodding in agreement.
