Song lyrics are in italics. Song is Evil Angel by Breaking Benjamin.
Spencer's POV
The lyrics ease their way into my ears and I know I am instantly in heaven.
The words are so simple but so amazing.
At this moment I only know one thing.
He simply has the voice of a god.
Even on my darkest days I could simply listen to his beautiful voice and things would seem to be a little better. With out him I don't know what my life would be like. Of course I'm talking about the lead
singer of Breaking Benjamin. I know nothing about him.
Hell I don't even know his name.
But what I do know is that he definitely has the voice of a god.
Put me to sleep, Evil Angel.
Open your wings, Evil Angel. (oohh)
Fly over me, Evil Angel.
Why can't I breathe, Evil Angel?
Yep the voice of god.
As I continue to listen to the song I secretly wish that an angel would find me. Because I would I give anything and everything I have to be able to see. I want to be able to walk along the beach and
notice everything in sight. I want to see little kids run through the sand and splash in the water. I want to be able to have the family I have always wanted and be able to watch them grow and begin
to have families of their own.
I know that all of this will happen one day.
But that day just seems to far off.
Too far away for me to grasp.
I continue to listen to lyrics more and I wish and evil angel would come put me to sleep.
"SPENCER!" I hear being yelled into my ear as my ear buds are ripped from my ears.
"Holy hell what?" I scream back.
"hey, how you doing?" I hear Carmen laugh.
"You know it's funny, I was just wishing for an evil angel," I say as turn my i-pod off and sit up on my bed.
"Breaking Benjamin?" She questioned.
"What, they are my favorite band," I point out.
"Yeah I know. I know everything about you. Your favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip, your favorite snack is German roasted nuts. Also I know that you like to use Dial for men soap because you like the smell," she states calmly.
"Whoa, if I didn't know any better, Carmen I would say that you were in love with me or something," I laugh slightly.
I feel her move on my bed as she sits closer to me.
"About that," she stutters out.
I feel her hand cover mine and I flip my hand over so our palms are touching and inter locked our fingers.
"Spencer, I know that we are friends, and I would never want to ruin that, but I have started to have feelings for you. I have tried not to think about it, but the more I try not to, the more I do. I love
everything about you Spencer. I would love to take you out some time. I don't know maybe, to dinner or maybe we could go to a carnival?"
I sat there.
I just sat there.
These words have never been said to me.
Never.
I feel her weight get off the bed and I hear her steps walking towards the door.
"I'm just going to go, bye Spencer." I hear her say.
I wait a few more seconds before I make my decision.
"Carmen, wait."
I hear her foot steps stop.
So I get off my bed and walk in the direction of her foot steps. Once I reach her I grab onto one of her hands.
"Don't go. Stay. Please?"
Ashley's POV
I walk in through the front door and I am exhausted.
Ethan knew what today was. He knew that I couldn't work today. He also knows that I would give up my days off for the next month if he would give me this night, but of course not.
He is such a dick!
I walk into the dining room and see the table set up. There are candles and rose petals on the table and dinner plates are set out.
It only makes me want to kill Ethan that much more.
Jen comes walking in with a bottle of wine in her hand.
I go up to her to give her kiss and she brushes pass me.
"Baby, don't be like that," I sigh.
"Don't be like what?" She asks with venom dripping from every word.
"Like 'oh don't touch me because you haven't been home all day'. Don't be like that," I say as I walk closer to her.
"But it's true, Ash! I swear that job means more to you than our marriage. It's our four year anniversary and you had to work," she huffs out.
"Baby, I tried to get off work. You know that. I begged Ethan but he wouldn't let me leave until I finished the album tonight. And you and I both know that if I had to choose between you and dawn or
my job, that I would choose you guys. I love you all so much. You know that," I say as I try to pull Jen into my arms.
"Enjoy your dinner, I already ate. I made roast beef. Tonight you can sleep on the couch," she said as she started to head up the stairs.
"Baby, the couch really? It's our anniversary don't do this."
She continued up the stairs without looking back at me.
"Baby!"
I heard our bedroom door close and I huffed loudly.
I walked to the closet in the hallway and grabbed a blanket and a pillow.
After I set up the couch I unbuttoned my shirt and took off my pants leaving myself in a tank top and boy shorts.
It's our anniversary and I get the couch.
As I settle into the couch and pull the blanket over my body I decide that I will make this up to Jen, and that later on I will sneak up into the room to cuddle with her.
I huff loudly as I flip the television on and start to relax.
Being in the dog house sucks.
