I Do Not Own South of Nowhere


A/N: Hey Everyone, until I know if I am Writing a Sequel to Here & Now I thought I would put this story up for all of you. I hope you enjoy reading, and please leave your thoughts I love to read all of your reviews. - Sushi

Chapter 1

I was sitting outside of the school waiting for my brother to come get me. He was late like usual and this time I didn't really care. Our parents were in court getting a divorce; it seems that my mother decided to have an affair with some guy from her work. Apparently they "tried" to work on their marriage, but I think they just gave up. My mother is a doctor, my father is a Social Service Worker, my brother goes to the community college, and I'm a 17 year old stuck in high school.

My name is Spencer Carlin and I really don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to be anywhere near where I am today. I want to get into a car and drive till I either reach a destination, or run out of gas. My dream spot is Canada. I want to go because when i went there to see a friend, she showed me the most beautiful scenery. I even got to see real wild life, and go on her family farm. Being stuck here in Ohio sucks, but one day I will go to my dream and finally be happy.

"You're gonna be a shining star, with fancy clothes, fancy car-ars.

And then you'll see, you're gonna go far."

Hey Spence sorry I just got out of a session, what's wrong I can feel your sadness from here lol – A

Ashley is a whole other story, but i guess she is part of my story. She is the friend I mention that lives in Canada. We met over the same interest in the show South Of Nowhere, and we started to email each other and well we sorta dated. Have I mention she is 20 years old, and I'm 17. Now you see why we "sorta dated", but she is the one person I fell in love with and it hurt like a bitch when we ended our relationship. Now we just text while she is traveling around helping at risk teens, and visiting places that her father and her wanted to see together. Ashley will come visit me when she can, but mostly she tries to stay away because it hurts to much for us to be so close to each other.

"Yo sis you coming?"

"Finally you get here, jeez"

I got up from the steps and walked over to his truck, that needed to be replaced by a new one. My brother will not give up his truck, nor will he ever get a new one. When my brother was in high school and on the basketball team he got into some trouble. He found there was more pressure then ever when it came to picking a college, and getting look at by scouts. He turned to drugs, and i almost lost him that year. After a few months at home and my father helping him, he got back on his feet. My father kept him clean by helping him fix this old truck, thats why this truck is one thing he won't get rid of.

"How was school, did you learn anything good"

"Not really, but i found out that one of the cheerleaders are pregnant"

"Like who?"

"Madison"

"Mean girl Madison, top head leader Madison, the hotty Madison"

"Yes that Madison and apparently her boyfriend is a college freshman"

"That sucks wow I wish that guy the best of luck"

"Same. How was classes for you, did you talk to that pretty girl in your Fridays classes?"

"She has this stupid boyfriend who is such a fucking jerk, like he pushed this little freshman who just happen to look at his girlfriend"

"What a jerk, so that makes a no?"

"Nope"

We pulled into our driveway and noticed there was a moving van outside. I looked over at Glen and I knew what he was waiting for, to see who was leaving mom or dad. It didn't take long to see that it was our father who was leaving, we saw him give some of the stuff to the packing guy. He looked over at us with hurt in his eyes. It didn't take a genius to know that we weren't going with him, well at lease not me. Glen on the other hand could, he is an adult and lives in a dorm on campus.

"Don't make me go in there Glen"

"You have to, but I'll stick around just in case okay?"

"Thanks"
