ASHLEY’S P.O.V. 

We get home and I’m in my bed, ready to go to sleep. But I can’t. I keep thinking about Spencer. And then, as if on cue, my door opens and she’s standing there, in my doorway, in her pink nightgown. I love when she drops by.

Ashley: “Spencer, you don’t have to wait for me to invite you in. Come on.” I say waving her over. She smiles and runs over to my bed, plopping down.

Spencer: “Are you ok? You know, from earlier.”

Ashley: “Yea, I’m fine.” she smiles at me. I love her smile.

Ashley: “Hey, come with me, I want to show you something.”

Spencer: “Ok.” I take her and lead her to my window and open it.

Spencer: “What are you doing?”

Ashley: “It’s a surprise.” Paula had put one of those plastic fences right against the wall outside to grow vines on.

Ashley: “Climb up the wall.” she looked at me like I told her to chop off her hand.

Spencer: “What?!”

Ashley: “I’ve done it before, it’s ok. Just, hold on to the fence and climb up.” she looks at me skeptically then goes out the window, climbs up halfway and stops.

Ashley: “Spencer, don’t look down. Just keep going, you’re halfway there.” She climbs, but slowly, but she finally gets to the top and climbs onto the roof. I scale the side of the house like Spiderman and sit next to her.

Ashley: “You got scared?” she nods. “I’m sorry. We don’t have to come up here again, if you don’t want to.” She just shrugs.

Spencer: “What did you want to show me?” I smile at her and point at the shy. She looks up at the sky in awe.

Spencer: “How’d you find out about this?” she asked amazed. I just lay back and stare up at the gazillion beautifully twinkling stars.

Ashley: “I couldn’t sleep one night. So I got up and looked out my window, but I could only see a few stars from there. So I climbed up here.” she laid back next to me.

Spencer: “It’s so pretty.” she said, still amazed. I gave her a sideways glance.

Ashley: “Yea.” she turned her head to face to me as we lay flat on the roof. She took my hand in hers.
