After my long walk home I really didn’t feel like dealing with any more bullshit so I run upstairs and start to run a bath.

Someone starts knocking on my door but I’m way to exhausted to yell

Spencer open up, we need to talk!

Glen please go away, I really need a bath. I love my brother but he has bad timing.

Really Spence it’s important and the sooner that we talk, the better it is for you.

Ughhhh I really don’t want to talk glen, I’m sorry but I will talk to you when I get out. Be patient chunky monkey.

Sigh* alright funky monkey but when you get out we really have to talk.

Alright I promise glen, now go.

I walk back into my bath room and light some candles. I’ve been in fights before but I certainly have never had my ass kicked that badly. I never really took Aiden for a woman beater, and for his own good I better be the only girl he ever puts his hands on.

I get into the water and fall deep into my thoughts. I can’t believe I really lost her. I can’t believe I put my hands on her that way. I remember the times when we were just so innocent and things were just, well better

*********************************************************************************************

Come on ashy lets swing on the swings pwease! My mommy taught me how to swing higher I wana show you!

Otay Spence lets go, I’ll push otay?

Otay!

Ashley starts pushing me higher and higher, we were having so much fun but I got a little to high and got scared. Before I knew it I jumped…

Ow!

Spencer are you otay, please don’t cry!

I couldn’t help it, tears were falling down my face and as soon as my mom walked over to pick me up I was crying even more. It wasn’t until Ashley gave me my teddy bear and kissed my scrapped elbow that my tears started to dry up.

Tank oo ashy! I wuv oo   mwah!

And that was our first kiss, so simple. I’m sure she doesn’t remember but I hold that day with me forever. Ashley was my protector. She made all the bad things go away, well she used to until the accident…
