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

Ashley Spinelli was now seventeen years old and in the past two years she has gone through many things most people never have to go through in their lives. She was abused by her father, saved by her cousin, stalked by her father, lost her cousin, her father was finally shot, she and TJ her boyfriend broke up, when they got back together and everything was going perfect. I know it doesn't sound all that bad just by reading it, but when you stop to think about it, a seventeen year old is still actually a child. It would be very hard for anyone to go through these problems, no matter what age you are. Now that you know what has happened to poor Spinelli in her past, let's see what her present is like, shall we?

~*~*~*~

Spinelli woke up on a bright, sunny Saturday morning. She looked at her clock on her bedside table. 9:15! She was usually up by now no matter what day it is! She got out of bed and quickly showered and dressed in tight blue jeans, a low cut black spaghetti strap tank top, and a pull over shirt left unbuttoned so you could see her bellybutton piercing that she had gotten over the summer. She picked up her phone and called TJ Detweiler, her boyfriend. She waited for a moment for someone to pick up the phone.

"Hello?" came Mrs. Detweiler's voice.

"Hello, Mrs. Detweiler. Is TJ home?" Spinelli asked.

"Yes he is, Spinelli. Wait just a minute and I'll get him," Mrs. Detweiler put the phone down and Spinelli could hear her calling for TJ. TJ came back down and answered the phone.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Hey Teej. So you excited about tomorrow?" Spinelli asked.

"What's tomorrow?" TJ asked. Spinelli couldn't believe he had forgotten. This was a very big day!

"The high school junior year class picnic? Remember? At the lake? It sounds really fun. We've all been dying to go since sixth grade," Spinelli reminded him.

"Oh yeah," TJ suddenly remembered. "Yeah it sounds pretty cool."

"Yeah. Remember, we're meeting Vince and Gretchen there at 3," Spinelli said.

"Vince and Gretchen? When did they get together?" TJ asked.

"Oh, just shortly after we got back together," Spinelli replied.

"Right. How come I didn't know that?" TJ asked.

"I don't know. They didn't tell you?" Spinelli asked.

"No," TJ replied.

"Oh well. I'm sure they didn't mean to forget you. They probably didn't even realize they didn't tell you," Spinelli said.

"Yeah you're probably right," TJ replied.

"Of course I am," Spinelli said, pretending to be stuck on herself.

"Well, I gotta go Spinelli. See you tomorrow?" TJ asked.

"You know it," Spinelli replied.

"Ok. Bye," TJ said.

"Bye," Spinelli replied hanging up the phone. She decided to go on a walk. Spinelli went downstairs and was greeted by her mother.

"Good morning Ashley," Flo Spinelli said to her daughter.

"Hey mom. I'm going out on a walk ok?" Spinelli asked.

"Sure," Flo answered. Spinelli walked out the door and began to go towards the city park. When she got there she went straight to the river and sat down on the bench she had sat at the pervious year when she and TJ had gotten back together. She stared at the river and remembered that she had thrown a ring from TJ into it also last year. She gazed at her reflection for a while before hearing footsteps behind her. She sat up straight. The footsteps got quicker and quicker. Spinelli thought at first that her dad was back again, but then she remembered that the police had killed him last year at her house. So, naturally, she thought it was TJ. Thinking the footsteps really were TJ she turned around. Who she saw was not TJ. Actually the person was far from being TJ. For when Spinelli had turned around, she had come face to face with no other than..........
