Spencer's POV
Things with me and Ashley have been great. We've been holding hands and I even started giving her goodnight kisses on the cheek. We haven't talked about what all that means or doesn't mean and I'm ok with that. It's been two months and I still have yet to hear here speak. But she always finds other ways to show me how she feels. Anyways I can't wait till tonight. We haven't seen each other in two days. She had to go out of town with her parents for the weekend; at least that's what I overheard Shane saying to one of his dumb friends. And while I've been having fun hang out with my friends, I've missed Ashley like crazy.
It's like one something in the afternoon and Aiden just dropped me off at home. Last night I crashed at Mia's after we went out. I just opened the front door and my grandma and my stupid brother Glen is sitting in the living room watching something on TV. My grandma spots me trying to go up the stairs and calls me into the living room.
"You know Spencer, It's not polite to come in and not speak." She Says turning off the TV. Seeing as how I didn't get away with sneaking past, I walk over in take a seat on the couch with Glen.
"It looked like you guys were enjoying the program on TV. I didn't want to interrupt." I say lying. Because truth be told, I could have gone the whole day without speaking to either of them.
"Well anyways, there's something you need to know." Glen say's and I turn my attention away from my grandma to his smiling face.
"Oh yeah, what might that be?"
"Dad's up stair's sleep." My jaw all most hit the floor, with that bit of information. I haven't seen my dad in two years, and I don't mind if it stays that way. My dad is one of the most selfish people I've ever met in my life. Last time we saw him he was packing his stuff to leave my brother, sister and me, three years after my mom left us to be with some guy she was cheating on my dad with. She said she would come back to get us once she get herself together but she never did. After she left my dad started getting abusive, he would hit us for any old stupid reason. One time he broke my arm. So I was more than happy when he packed his things and said he couldn't do this anymore, be a parent that is, and be a dad. So for the last two years we've been staying with my grandma. And I like it this way, not having to go through the day worrying about someone tossing me half way across the room. I can't let him come back into our lives.
"Spence."Glen's voice breaks me from my thoughts.
"Why is he here?" They both just look at me like they don't know who I'm talking about. "Dad. Why is dad here? What does he want?" My voice starts to crack, sounding little and weak.
"He says he misses us and he wants to be with us."
"Well, I don't want to be with him. Don't you remember what he put us through?" I say getting up to go to my room. Glen stands up and grabs my arm turning me around.
"That was two years ago. He said he was sorry and his better." I can't believe he actually thinks that's true.
"And you believe him? I don't care how sorry he is. I don't want anything to do with him!" I say, my voice starting to rise as I get angrier. But I'm trying to keep it down because I don't want the man who's causing it to wake up, before I can get some stuff from my room and leave.
"He's our father Spencer."
"Yeah Glen, he's our father that abused us than left us. Some father." I say yanking my arm away from Glen.
"Spencer and Glen stop!" My grandma is up standing between us now. "Spencer your dad will be staying here if you like it or not. Do you understand me?" I don't respond. I'm too angry to even speak. I just push pass them and storm out the door.
There's only one person I want to see and that's Ashley.
Ashley's POV
I'm in the kitchen putting up some dishes when I hear I knock at the door, knowing it's not for me I continue putting up the dishes. I hear my mom go to answer it and the next thing I know she's yelling for me to come to the living room. I put the plate I had in my hand in the cabinet and go see what she wants. I turn the corner and stop in my tracks when I see Spencer standing in my living room talking to my parents. I can tell she's been crying her eyes are all puffy and red. My mom looks over and see's me leaning up against the wall where you first walk into the living room. Spencer looks from my mom to me and we lock eyes.
"Ashley honey, Spencer came over to see you. Why don't you guys go up to your room and talk or something?" I nod my head and walk over to Spencer and grab her hand and lead her to my bedroom.
When we get in my room I let go of Spencer's hand, shut the door and lean my back up against it. Spencer's pacing back and forth across the room.
"My dad's back, he's at my house right now." She stops and puts her head in her hands. "Shit, Shit, Shit." She whisper as I grab her hand and lead her to my bed. I push her down onto the bed and sit next to her and pull her into a hug, rubbing her back to calm her.
We stay like that for a couple of minutes then she pulls out of the embrace to whip her tears away, but I beat her to it. We both jump when we hear a knock on the door before my mom pops her head in.
"Spencer I'm sure Ashley would like it if you stayed the night." Spencer looks at me for permission and I smile and nod my head yes.
"Thanks Mrs. Davies. That would be nice."
"Okay sweetie, make sure you call your parents and make sure it's okay with them." Spencer tells her she will and she leaves.
For the rest of the day we just sat in my room. She told me about her parents leaving and her dad being abusive. I wanted to go over there in kill that man. She cried a little more and I comforted her until she fell asleep in my arms.
