I Don't Own Anything

Chapter 2

"Kyla when is mom getting home?" I stopped in my tracks when I saw the girl from outside standing in my kitchen.

"Kyla went to go get something, she will be right back"

"Oh okay, your Spencer right?" She nodded taking a bite of her pizza, I walked over taking a water out of the fridge.

"You are?" I laughed, taking a sip of my water.

"Kyla's Sister Ashley"

"I didn't know she had a sister"

"It wouldn't seem like it either, I just got into town from being away for two years"

"My family moved in just a year ago"

"Kyla told me"

I took a slice of pizza and taking a seat in the kitchen. I looked over at Spencer, and I must say she had good taste in style. Maybe that's where my sister changed of style came from, I made a mental note to ask Kyla. I wanted to ask her about her brother, but I didn't think it was the right time to.

"Hey Ash you called me?"

"When is mom supposed to get home?"

"She worked till late, she never really tells me" I nodded, I didn't think my mom would be here when I came home. I was shocked to even find Kyla here waiting for me, I was glad she was.

"Spencer and I are going to this bomb fire tonight did you want to come?"

"I think my party days are over Kyla, but thanks for the invite"

We all sat there eating are dinner, the girls talking about the latest gossip in school. I couldn't help but listen more when I heard Aiden name. Spencer was telling Kyla that he is dating this girl name Madison, but she thinks they aren't going to last because Aiden doesn't seem into it. I looked up and caught Kyla looking at me, she changed the subject onto projects that she had to do. I couldn't be more relieved, you could say I didn't really care for Aiden.

"I'm going to go take a trip to the recorded store Kyla, have fun at your party and be safe."

"You know me Spencer, I never get into trouble" I smiled, it's true not once has she been in trouble.

"I think I took care of that for both of us, it was nice meeting you Spencer" She smiled as I walked over grabbing my keys and leaving.

While I was away I made sure to get my GED so I didn't have to return to high school when I got back. At rehab centre they allowed us to go out with supervision to places that they thought would be good for us, mine was a record store down town. It was a place where I could just tune out the world with lyrics that spoke what I couldn't say in person. The owner was closing up the shop, I decided to use my inheritance money to buy it. My mom didn't like the idea, but I explained why I wanted to and she couldn't say no.

My mother and I never did really get a long, we did at some points. Before I got into trouble all the time, we use to be really close. My mom was the first person I told about me liking girls, she threw me a coming out party. Then when I started to hang out with the wrong friends, and doing drugs my mother and I drifted apart. I'm only a year older then Kyla, but I know her and I drifted apart too. It wasn't till I almost died that my mother said enough and sent me to get help that was the last time I saw her. We talked over the phone, but it was just to talk about how I was doing and getting out. I would have gotten home earlier, but I relapsed too many time for them to agree I was ready to come home.
