Ashley and Spencer walked along the beach.  School was out for Spring Break and the two of them were just enjoying each other’s company.  It was a nice, sunny day and everyone was on the beach.  It seemed like half of King High’s students were lounging in the sand.  The two girls did not even notice the crowd.  Ashley and Spencer were lost in their own world.  It had been two months since that fateful night when the two of them finally accepted their feelings for each other and became a couple.  Everything was going great for them, as long as Spencer’s mom did not find out about their relationship.

“I’m so glad my mother finally gave up on trying to keep me away from you.”  Ashley just smiled and grabbed Spencer’s hand.  “Not that she ever actually stopped me in the first place.”  Ashley nodded and they walked hand in hand.  “Are you okay?  You haven’t said much today.”

“Just thinking.”  Spencer looked over at Ashley and crooked an eyebrow.  “I do think sometimes thank you very much.”  Chuckling, Spencer stopped and turned to face Ashley.  “What are you doing?”

“Something is going on in that pretty little head of yours.”  Ashley blushed a little and tried to look away but Spencer would not let her, softly using her hand to force Ashley to look at her.  “I know there is something you want to talk about.  That’s what I’m here for.”  Ashley smiled again and walked towards a picnic table, knowing Spencer would follow her.  “Ash, come on.  What’s up?”

“Things are going great between us, right?”  Spencer nodded and smiled at Ashley.  “Do you think it’s going too good?’  Spencer’s face contorted with confusion.  “The past two months have been perfect.  I’m just scared that something is going to happen.  Something bad.”

Spencer looked at Ashley.  “Like what?”  Ashley just shrugged and looked out at the ocean.  “Well, whatever happens, if anything, we’ll get through it, together.”  Spencer grabbed Ashley’s hand and laced their fingers together.  “We’ll survive anything this world has to throw at us.  We survived everything before we got together.”  Ashley nodded at that.  “Let’s go get some ice cream.”  Ashley jumped up and started dragging a giggling Spencer towards an ice cream cart.
