As Spencer Carlin heard the opening piano chords of an all too familiar song play over the radio, she knew it was a bad idea to let her roommate, Jordyn Donovan, pick what radio station to listen to as they house cleaned to prepare for their guests that evening. There was always something about Country music that seemed to hit a little too close to the pain of life.

Lookin' back | On the memory of

The dance we shared | Beneath the stars above

And for a moment | All the world was right

But how could I have known | That you'd ever say goodbye

Ten years later and it still hurt to hear those lyrics that seemed to be parallel to her life back then.

And now | I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end | The way it all would go

Our lives | Are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain |But I'da had to miss the dance

The 28 year old blue-eyed blonde sighed in frustration. She didn't care what Garth Brooks, Chris Gaines, or whatever name he was going by these days said she would give anything to have known what was going to happen back then.

Holding you | I held everything

And for a moment | Wasn't I a king

But if I'd only known | How the king would fall

Hey who's to say | You know I might have changed it all

And there was no doubt in her mind she would've changed everything and completely removed herself from anything that had to do with Ashley Davies and Aiden Dennison. Years of frustration revealed itself as she launched the vase she was cleaning across the living room.

As the vase smashed against the wall, Jordyn came running from the kitchen to find Spencer sitting on the couch with her head in her hands.

"Spencer what the hell happened!"

"It's nothing, Jord really, I'm fine." When Spencer looked up at her, Jordyn knew she wasn't fine.

"Spencer Lynn Carlin, ever since you decided, unwillingly I might add, to go to your ten year High School reunion, you've been constantly on edge. Please tell me what's going on."

It was true; she had no intention of going to her reunion. She had a hard enough time leaving the past in the past, without being face-to-face with the people and memories from King High again. But her twin brother, Glen reminded her that she gets paid to convince her clients on a daily basis to face their fears and not run away from their past mistakes and regrets. Spencer knew he was right but that didn't make the dread of revisiting her past any easier.

"Alright Jord, I'll explain everything to you, but not today, we have to get this house cleaned before everyone gets here."

"Fine Spen, but we are talking about this tomorrow and don't you dare try to avoid me!"

Spencer looked at her friend and smiled slightly. "I won't I promise, now let's get back to cleaning this disaster area."

"Ha, your room is a disaster area; the rest of this place merely looks like it had a small storm hit."

"Yeah, okay maybe if it was a category 5 hurricane." Both women laughed as they continued cleaning the various rooms in their house.
