Trapped
All Hallows Eve is a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31st of October. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed.
Of course that's what Wikipedia says about Halloween. Of course to me it's the best time of the year for tricks and treats. The time where we all celebrate the best traditions we grew up with. Shit, even new traditions as adults. Don't ask me why I love the holiday but it's truly the one time of the year where I can do everything I love in one full month.
It all starts on Oct. 1st.
"Get your ass out here!" I have been sitting in the dressing room area waiting for Spencer to get out of the room for the last hour. She was trying to find something to wear for the fall festival we have every year.
Here's a little back ground on my life. I'm Ashley Davies, daughter of Raife and Christine Davies. We live in this small town of Athens, Ohio.
Where is that at, you say? It's the lower east corner of Ohio.
Why do you need to know my location? Because it's the best area of Ohio during the month of Oct. College students fill the streets and every Halloween event takes place here and I live for it all.
Every. Last. Bit.
Who is Spencer? She is the blonde, blue eyed daughter of Arthur and Paula Carlin. She has two older brothers, Clay and Glen. I've known Spencer all my life. From diapers, all the way up to college years and it will never stop.
Did I mention that Spencer was also my girlfriend? Well I am now. I knew from a ripe young age that Spencer Carlin and I were meant to be together. Her parents were best friends with my parents. There was never a moment that we spent apart from each other. Fun fact about it all is that Spencer came out before I did. Once she told me that she was gay it sparked so many feelings inside of me that I never really knew existed.
Spencer Carlin has had my heart since April 12, 2008. Ten years of Solitude and a lifetime of happiness to come. I know I'm corny but I don't give a shit! This girl share's everything with me and it's always going to be like that.
Spashley for life!
Now here we are back in the dressing room area of the Eastland Mall waiting for this beautiful creature to hurry the hell up!
"SPENCER!" I was irritated now! She has literally gone through 15 outfits and apparently none of them suit her.
Seconds later Madison aka Spencer other "best friend" came walking to the dressing room and walks in her room with another outfit. I was about to flip my lid.
"Calm down Ashley! Spencer need's to find the right dress for you." That's a lie because Spencer knows that I would love absolute anything she wore to the Fall Festival.
"Do not try to put this back on me Madison. I would love anything Spencer wore and you BOTH know it!" I rested my face in my hands and no more than a minute later Spencer walks out with a dress in her hand. I look up and even though I was fuming at her I couldn't help but smile at the beauty that she shines down on me.
Damn this girl has me wiped!
"Ashley yell at me one more time, I dare you!" I was in trouble. Spencer stood there in her cutoff jeans and white Calvin Klein pullover. Just the look of her when she walked out made me regret yelling like I did.
"You want me to look my best at the Festival, correct?" No. I responded in my head because she would beat me up if I said it out loud.
I stood to my feet and I put my hands on her waist. Having her close to me calmed me down.
"I want you to feel the way you want to feel babe. Don't do it for me." I looked down at her hand and noticed she had 2 dresses. I pointed to them both and smiled.
"Does this mean that shopping is done and you found what you're looking for?" Please say yes. Please say yes.
"Come on Madison. It's time to get my girlfriend home before she starts throwing another tantrum." Spencer could be so harsh but yet so right about me. It only confirms that we are meant to be together.
Spencer paid for her outfits and next we were on our way home from Columbus. Compared to Athens we always have to drive somewhere just to get clothing. Don't get me wrong I love Athens but I would love to have more assortments of clothing stores and not have to drive hundreds of miles to purchase them.
Shit, I would buy anything Spencer wanted online if that meant that I didn't have to wait in another dressing room watching her try on every outfit known to man.
Dramatic, I know.
"What's tomorrow ladies?" I was driving on the road towards home and I was looking at all the trees turning their beautiful colors. This year was going to be a great one! With all the plans I have for the season I know it's going to be epic!
"The day you turn psycho even though I'm sure it started long before I met you in the 4th grade." Madison and her lame ass comments.
"Aren't you a riot?" I looked at Madison in the rear view mirror and she was already giving me one of stares. I swear if we all hadn't grown up together I would had never become her friend.
"It's your favorite month babe." Spencer finally chimed in.
Ding. Ding. Ding.
My baby already knew what tomorrow and the whole month meant to me. I couldn't be any more excited than I was when Spencer first asked me out.
Yes, yes she is the one who asked me out. She can definitely take charge when she wants to. It's pretty sexy.
"This is why we are meant to be together. You know everything that there is to know about me." I glanced Spencer's way and smiled like the fool I was in love.
"Plus the fact that Spencer hasn't been out of Ohio to find someone extremely better for her." I swear if Madison keeps talking I was going to pull over and throw her into the ditch. Spencer must have seen my face expression because she squeezed my hand and tried to calm me down.
"Madison cut it out. I don't care if I see the world or not, there will never be anyone else that will ever have my heart like Ash." There's my beautiful girlfriend. I raised her hand off of my thigh and I kissed the top of it.
I looked in the rear view mirror and Madison was flipping me off. I smiled so big and knew that I won that round.
Fact 1,144 about Madison Duarte was that not only was she best friends with my girlfriend but she was also dating my other best friend Aiden Dennison. Even though we hate one other we try to keep it civil for the people in our lives. I don't give a damn though, I still hate her!
Can you see my problem?
"You're home now get the hell out of my car!" Oops, did I mean to say it so harsh? Hell yes!
Spencer turned around and hit me on the arm. That's going to leave a mark. I turned away not to show that it hurt but she knew it did. Spencer got out of the car and helped Madison grab her things in the back of the car and I sat there waiting for my girlfriend.
Minutes later Aiden comes racing right up behind me in his motorcycle aka Death Trap and walks over to my window.
"What the hell Davies? Why did you take so long in Columbus? I've been waiting around the gym for hours waiting. Not that I mind but we've had things to do before tomorrow." I converted Dennison into a Halloween junkie like me and I knew what he meant. Tomorrow we start our traditions. Well in our world we start our pranks.
"Hey! It wasn't my fault. I wasn't the one shopping and you know exactly how they are when they go to the mall." Aiden looked towards Madison's house and back to me.
"Yeah I know. Better you than me that's for sure." I hated him. Aiden started laughing and right at that moment was summoned by the devil herself. Now it was my turn to start laughing.
"Call you later with plans!" I yelled as he started sprinting over to Madison. That dude was wiped and it was so funny to watch.
"Ash!" Spencer yelled for me.
Coming Dear!
