10 years apart continuation!
Sorry for the fans who were getting into the story 10 years apart. I cancelled my email account so I had to make a new fanfic account and so on. This time I have a REAL excuse and that would be my parents kicked me out a year ago on my 18th birthday when I was writing this story because I came out to them. I fled to NY and my girlfriend's parents basically took me under their wing. Since I'm done finals and needing a pleasant break from college I will be posting a lot more of this story! Sorry for the longest delay ever! I truly apologize and will finish this story…I Promise!
Oh and little warning…I will be starting in a different time, in other words skipping a year or two so its almost like I'm starting fresh with the same story I don't own anything from South of Nowhere but the characters I made/make up.
Spencer's POV
I sit in campus on a stoned bench just looking at the students walking to their destination…class. I stare back down at my sketchpad looking at my new drawing I started in one of my art classes. If you haven't guessed already I decided to be an Art major since I love it. Now I know I never talked about it. It was a hidden talent that I never paid much attention to till my senior year in an art class I took. It was then where I realized I was good and it really made me happy. So I dropped the soccer and dance and stuck with art. I now attend NYU and am far away from everyone!
What you really must be wondering is where is Ashley and why the hell did I go to school all the way in New York instead of being in California with her and my dad. Well if you remember my good brother that turned bad, Jake, then you will know that he did win in the end. His jealous rage caused by me taking my bestfriend (which she also became kind of like my girlfriend) away from him made Jake snap. Even though I still believe he took her from me, she was my friend first even if I left for New Jersey with my mom. So he called my mom and told her everything. He told her that I was a lesbian and Ashley corrupted my mind. Lame but she bought it and freaked. Next thing I know she is blaming this on my dad and has me shipped back to NJ. I was so mad at my brother that I took it out on everyone, including Ashley. My worst mistake, I left on a bad note and tore up any relationship I built back up with her. I finished high school in NJ and applied to every college away from my mother and her menacing husband Ben. She wasn't too happy about it but when I got into NYU she was so ecstatic to show it off to all of her friends that I'm pretty sure she didn't give a shit how far I would be…what a great mom! When she found out I was going to be an Art major and not some lawyer or something she wasn't happy but Ben stood by my side and said I needed to do what I loved. For that moment I liked him, but a minute and that's all, I still didn't like him. So here I am starting fresh and concentrating on my career. I vowed to myself that nothing would get in the way and definitely not some stupid relationship that will just keep me out of focus.
As I continue with my sketch my phones starts to buzz and I look at who's calling. Its my sister Alyssa and I pick up. "Hello little sis, what can I do for you?" I say in a cheery voice excited to talk to my sister. It has been a couple months that I actually spoke to her on the phone. We've talked here and there on Facebook but I have been so busy with school.
"Spencer I miss you and I know that your Spring break is coming up next week and I really want to see you!" Alyssa said. I then heard my dad in the background and soon he started to talk on the phone.
"Honey, we are on three way right now. I miss you and I wanted to ask you something?" My father said. I could tell there was an excited tone to his voice as well as Alyssa's.
"Yeah what's up with you too? You both seem anxious or excited about something…spit it out and I will be glad to answer this question of yours dad."
"Ask her dad!" Said Alyssa impatiently, which only made me anxious to hear what he had to ask.
"Okay I'm getting to it Lyss…" he paused and then continued, "Spence, I spoke to your mother and she said that for your spring break you can come up here and visit but it was up to you."
I was excited and nervous at the same time. I wanted to go so badly but then I remembered how I left things in California and how Jake and I are pretty much enemies now. He is now a senior…I think, I really try to forget everything about him but I'm pretty sure I am two years ahead of him so that means he's still living at home ugh! I really want to see my dad though and of course Lyss, but I absolutely do not want to see Ashley. I can't. I would just ruin everything I worked and built up. I was cut off by my intense thinking process…
"Honey? Are you okay?" My dad asked with a worried tone now.
"Y-yeah dad sorry I was just thinking about it." I answered.
"Well?" Chimed Alyssa too excited for actual sentences.
"Okay yes I will come."
Well that is my introduction to my continuing story! I hope you guys like it and please leave feedback it makes me happy and motivates me! I basically made Spencer me with the whole Art major and finding out I loved it but I realized I was a soccer and dance freak at one time so I went with a mixture of my life story and hers lol FEEDBACK PLEASE! And Thank you for being super patient haha!
