Ashley just approached the car and opened the door, letting herself in. Spencer took it as a yes and took off towards her house.

"I can’t believe it."

Spencer looked to her right at Ashley. "Oh, I’ll get you home as quick as possible."

Ashley continued on with her train of thought as if she didn’t hear her. "He’s always been such an ass. I hate myself for letting him treat me that way over and over again. I don’t think he has any redeeming qualities and yet I find myself always running back to him."

What does someone say to that? Spencer focused on the road trying to find comforting words.

"Somethings just missing, you know?"

Finally something she could relate to. "Yeah, I get that. He’s just not the one."

Ashley looked over at her for the first time. "I’m sorry you prolly think I’m crazy for unloading on you."

"No, it’s nice to have a stranger’s point of view sometimes. Because they’re completely detached from the situation."

The wind was blowing her curls askew and in a futile attempt she moved some behind her ear. "Well we’re not complete strangers Spence. You moved here in 6th grade right?"

Suddenly the car started stalling until the engine finally stopped working. Conveniently right on the top of a hill as the sun was starting to set. Adding insult to injury the radio decided to turn on and not turn off, stuck playing "The Only Exception" by Paramore.

Spencer silently cursed to herself as Ashley twisted her curls up into a messy bun. "Pop the hood Spence."

She followed her directions and watched as she disappeared behind the hood.

"Wow, nice headers and you have a high rise double pump carburetor."

Spencers jaw dropped. "How’d you know that?"

Ashley smiled and leaned over messing with the caps giving Spencer a perfect view of her legs and her taut abs. She didn’t know where to admire first.

"Bonding time with my family." Ashley nodded suspiciously.

"Oh i can build a computer from scratch in under ten minutes but I don’t know a damn thing about engines." What the heck Spence. "But I didn’t peg you as mechanical."

"Guys don’t normally like when a girl knows more about cars than they do. Especially Aiden."

"Oh well I prefer girls." Spencer smacked her forehead. "I’m not going to even try and come back from that comment."

"Oh hey well listen I’m going to walk. I hope you fix your car."

Spencer was mentally kicking herself up and down. How could she honestly say something that stupid and blatant when she didn’t even mean it that way. Her brain just failed majorly and it picked that precise moment to have a melt down. She angrily slammed her car hood down and watched Ashley walk away from her, growing smaller the farther she got.
