Chapter 1: We Never Planned On This Disaster

Spencer's POV

December 11, 2009

Like I said, I was waiting in the freezing cold outside for Jack, sitting on the steps of the house we now shared in Baltimore. I called and asked if I could stay there until I found my own place, but somehow we decided I would live with him.

It's been almost a week and, I'll be honest, I'm still heartbroken. Do I miss Alex? Of course. I don't want to go back to him. At least not now.

Pulling my hoodie sleeves down to cover my fingers, I sighed. It's snowing and Jack called saying he was supposed to be here in ten minutes, but that was fifteen minutes ago.

I wrap my arms around myself and see Jack's car pull up. 'Bout time, I thought. He stops the car and gets out. I walk over to him. "Spencer!" he says and wraps me in a hug.

"Ah, you're warm," I said and laughed, keeping my arms between my chest and his.

"Yeah, and you're cold," he laughs. I guess this would be how I'd be spending my life for a while.

Do I still love Alex?

Oh, hell yes.

December 29. 2009

"I'm on my way back, I promise."

"You better. We miss you!"

"Rian, chill out. I'm getting in the car as we speak."

"Fucking haul ass."

I laughed. "It's icing and it was snowing earlier. Do you want me to get in a car crash?"

"Never! Just come back. Call me when you get to Baltimore."

"Of course." I hung up and started the car. I had spent Christmas with my parents. They moved to New York City two years ago and I drove out there.

Five Hours Later

"Hey, Rian. I'm almost there," I said into my phone, five hours of driving down Snow covered highways later.

"Yay! You're going to Jack's house first though, right?" he replied.

"Yeah, to get your present."

"Aw, I feel special."

"Shut up." I rolled my eyes, but laughed.

"No. I'm gonna blow up your phone while your driving by spamming it with messages and missed calls. Yup, it'll happen." He pauses and yells something at the TV.

"Football?" I ask.

"Duh! Wait- you're not driving right now, are you?"

"No. I had to stop and get gas."

"Oh. Okay." He yells something at the TV again.

"Spencer, I love you!" I hear Jack yell. I laugh and put my forehead in my free hand.

"Hey, Spence, Jack says he loves you," Rian said.

"I heard."

"He wants to talk to you. I'm putting you on speaker."

"No. Rian-" But I was too late.

"Hey, Spencer, can you bring me some Twizzlers?" Jack asked.

"Um, I'm almost out of money," I said, honestly.

"That's not good. Not good at all."

"Yeah, I know."

"Are you guys talking to Spencer?" I heard Alex say, then I think my heart stopped for a second, followed by it beating faster.

"Yeah. She call-" The rest was muffled so I assume they took me off speaker.

Mini panic attacks are not my friend.

Ugh, why did he have to cheat on me?

I heard a muffled, "HEY!" and a "No, Alex. Just- don't," then a, "Just let me talk to her."

No. Please don't let him talk to me.

"Spencer?" Alex said. I hung up on him. I wasn't ready to talk to him just yet.

I got into my car, started it, and pulled out onto the road. I was driving for forty-five minutes, and was almost to Baltimore, when the car on the other side of the road swerved onto my side. And that's when the truck hit me.

Jack's POV

"That was a bad call!" Rian yells at the TV. I shake my head.

"The game's rigged," I said, simply.

Alex walks back into the living room and hands Rian his phone before collapsing on the couch next to him. "She won't even talk to me."

"Dude, what'd you expect?" Zack says, speaking up for the first time.

"I don't know," Alex replies, clearly frustrated, then puts his face in his hands. "I. Fucked. Up."

"You are my best friend, so I am required to tell you everything." I clapped him on the back. "She still loves you, bro."

He looks up at me. "Really?" I nod. Alex sighs a little in relief.

"But she wants absolutely nothing to do with you right now," Rian says. "Give her time." Alex sighs again and we just kinda watched the game for awhile.

About an hour later, when I was in Alex and Rian's kitchen, my phone started ringing from an unknown number. "Hello?" I answered.

"Jack?" I didn't recognize the voice.

"Uh, yeah?"

"This is Carrie, Spencer's mom?"

I'm taken aback at first, but reply, "Oh, hey. Is everything okay?"

I heard her sniff and then her voice cracks. "Spencer's in the hospital." My eyes widened. "She got in a car accident on the way home. We're on our way there, but-" I heard nothing after that.

Spencer is in the hospital?

WTF?

"We'll get there as soon as we can," Her mom said.

"I'm on my way to the hospital," I said and hung up, grabbing the bottle of beer I opened and walking into the living room, my eyes still wide.

"Where's mine?" Alex asked. I shook my head and said the only thing I could think of to reply.

"Spencer's in the hospital."
