spencer had every intention of riding with ashley to school that day, therefore she was slightly upset when she got ash’s text reading– i’ll meet you at your locker! xoxo today would be their first day at king as couple. she was sort of hoping they could start it off together. maybe a little pregame pep talk in the car. alas, it wasnt going to go spencer’s way. defeated, but anxious, she grabbed her messenger bag off the kitchen table and hurried outside to where clay was waiting for her to go to school.

 "jesus f-ing christ…" spencer muttered under her breath as she approaced her locker. ashley was smoking. her hair was down, showing off her trademark brown curls, her jean miniskirt left little to the imagination and her pink silk halter top oddly clung and fell off her body all at the same time. "hey you" ashley said, leaning against spencer’s locker and soaking in her girlfriend’s equally attractive attire. spencer, who seemed to be at a loss for words, kept walking towards her, stopping dangerously close to ashley, their noses brushing against the each other. "you’re making it really hard to be—" "my two favoriteeee girls!" aiden exclaimed, throwing his arms around them. "what’s up?" "not much, aiden. how was your weekend" ashley said, making a note to have spencer finish her statement later…"umm…random and confusing. glen’s out for the season and madison’s looking for new man candy." "ugh, ew. she would be" ashley sneered, disgusted with madison’s actions, and generally just who she is as a human being. "how are you two though…" aiden couldnt conceal the grin that spread across his face, obviously psyched for a little girl on girl action. "we’re great" spencer grinned, grabbing ashley’s hand and stealing a quick glance into her eyes. like clockwork, the bell rang signaling the bustling of students to class. "great and late for class!" spencer exclaimed making her hold on ashley tighter as she pulled them through the math team and to class. "see ya later, aiden!" ashley yelled back. aiden shook his head smiling, adjusting his books and making his way to physics.

"look who decided to show up." madison sneered. "awwww, how cute. they dykes are holding hands. so, it’s official now?" ashley was about to unleash an emmy winning verbal assault when she felt spencer squeeze her hand gently. "not worth it, ash" she said, taking her seat. "you’re right, spence. i mean ,afterall, madison’s just jealous." said ashley as she sat next to spencer. madison’s head spun around robotically "excuse me!? i don’t play for that team, thanks. why the hell would i be jealous of you two anyways?" "cause i’m hott, spencer’s hott…and you, madison, you’re lacking your luster. i mean, aiden didnt come running back to you when you called, did he?" madison glared at ashley, a little annoyed but predominantly pissed. "listen, bitch. if you thin–" madison was cut short by the teacher who had scrambled into the room muttering apologies for his tardiness. "let’s begin…please, take out your homework" ashley turned around and smirked at spencer who could only quietly giggle at madison’s expense.

spencer was making her way to the lunchrooms when a bullet of pink pulled her into the girl’s bathroom and pushed her hard against the wall. "ashley, what the hell!? are you okay" ashley kissed her roughly pushing her body up against spencer’s and stopping only to fill her tank with air "ash…ash, what the fuck, are you drunk??" spencer could taste the vodka on ashley’s lips, her suspicions confirmed by the taste of alcohol on her girlfriend’s toungue. "hey hey hey, not drunk…slightly tipsy!" ashley slurred. "no ones going to be in here for awhile…" ashley seductively whispered, gently nibbling on spencer’s ear before sliding her hands up the blonde’s  top. "ash…ash, stop" spencer grabbed her arms pinning them to ashley sides, her face the epitomy of concern. "spence, come on…" ashley tried to take a step closer to spencer, looking anywhere but as her girlfriend stared, confused and worried, into her eyes. "ash, baby, what happened. why…why are you drunk?" spencer was trying to choose her words carefully, she had a bad feeling that ashley could be angered quickly in this state…ashley kissed her again, this time harder than the first time, her hands scrambling under spencers skirt, grabbing her ass. "ash, STOP" spencer pushed her away harder than she meant to, trying desperately to decide what to do, wondering where the hell this couldve come from. "fuck you, spencer!" ashley picked herself up, her face red and angry, her hair sticking up in every direction, save for two strands which fell infront of her face, only partly shielding the tears that were rapidly forming in her red eyes. she was breathing heavily and her nostrils had begun to flare. "fuck you" ashley said again. spencer was crying now too, paralyzed as ashley stormed out of the girl’s bathroom.

"mrs. davies, we’re doing everything we can to find your daughter. apparently she left school after she heard, however a student, mr. aiden dennison, said he saw her half an hour ago. we’re doing everything we can to find her."

mrs. davies removed her large black sunglasses and stared out the window at the rain that seemed to be coming down harder every hour. for the first time, she felt sorrow.
