Chapter 39:

The rest of the Cabo trip was spent with the six friends going to the beach and going out at night. They all had a blast but were saddened when they got back home because soon they would all part to go to college.

Ashley and Rachel were sitting by her pool one afternoon. "This is gonna be so weird Ash, you and I not going to the same college together. Remember when we were little and we said we'd always be together? Like we'd go to the same college and live next door to one another. I'm gonna miss you Ash."

Ashley pulled her friend into a huge hug, "I'm gonna miss you too Rach. When do you and Amy leave?"

"Um, two days, we're packing up."

"Yeah, Spencer and I leave tomorrow."

"Your condo is ready down there?"

"Yep."

"A lot of stuff happened this year…"

"Yeah…"

They got quiet and just sat and watched the summer sun set over LA. Rachel left soon after and Ashley began to pack her belongings. Once everything was packed she looked around her room and sighed. I hated this place for so long now I'm sad to leave it. She thought. As she was putting her boxes by the door her cell rang. It was Spencer. She answered.

"Hey baby."

"Is it true?"

"Huh? Is what true?"

"Did you crash that night because I was calling?"

Ashley took a deep breath. "Um, well, it was your ring tone."

"Why the fuck did you not tell me this?"

"Because I didn't want you to feel guilty for it, it wasn't your fault. I should have been paying attention."

Spencer sighed, "I just can't believe you didn't tell me."

"I'm sorry."

"Yeah, it's ok." Spencer dropped the subject. "So are you all packed?"

"Um, yeah, I just finished. What about you?"

"Yeah, I've been done for a bit now. I can't believe it's time to go already."

"Yeah, I'm just realizing how much I'm gonna miss it around here."

"Me too, Ash, but it's getting late, I'm gonna get to sleep because we have a long drive tomorrow. I love you. Goodnight. And Ash, don't keep anything from me anymore, even if you think its going to protect me in you not telling me."

"Ok, I won't. I'm sorry. I love you too. Goodnight." And they both hung up.

The next morning Ashley woke up and called Aiden over to help her load all her boxes onto the moving van. He rode to Spencer's house with her to pack up Spencer's things. They got there and packed everything up. They were about to leave to take Aiden back to Ashley's and then be on their way.

"We're gonna miss you hunny." Paula said hugging her daughter. "You be good to my baby girl Ashley."

"I will. I promise." Paula hugged her.

Arthur grabbed her daughter and gave her a huge bear hug. "Daddy's gonna miss his little girl."

"I'll miss you guys too." Spencer said wiping a tear from her cheek. "I'll call as much as I can. You guys can call too. And we'll be home for Thanksgiving."

They finished their goodbyes and I love yous and drove back to the Davies's mansion where they were met by Rachel and Amy along with Kyla.

Ashley got out of the van, "What are you losers doing here?"

"You think we'd let you leave without saying goodbye?" Amy asked. She hugged Spencer and Ashley. "You two have a safe trip. Keep in touch with us and we'll see you at Thanksgiving. Love you guys."

Aiden smiled and hugged Spencer. "Keep her in line Spence."

"Got ya." She smiled and hugged him back.

He walked to Ashley, "and you, don't fuck up." He hugged her tightly.

"Love you too, Aid."

Kyla hugged Spencer and then her sister. "Love you." She said.

"Love you too."

Rachel, trying to hold back her tears gave Ashley a huge hug. "I'm gonna miss you so much Ash."

"I'm gonna miss you too Rach." Ashley hugged her best friend close. "Don't cry Rach, we'll see you in just a few months. And after college we're gonna live beside each other, got it?" She smiled and so did Rachel.

"Have a safe trip guy." Aiden said.

"We will." They got back into the van and everyone waved goodbye. They started it up and were off to Texas, a new beginning, a new life, new people, and whatever the world had in store for them.

The End.
