Spencer couldn't handle it; it was as simple as that. Her mother had refused to let Ashley and Petra come back after the broken nose incident. Apparently Ashley had powered through and acted like taking a hit to the face for Spencer wasn't a problem but Spencer hated it. She was anxious, she was suspicious, and she was thinking far too much since Ashley had kissed her. She wanted so badly to see her and she knew it was because she needed to figure out where Ashley fit into her heart. But Spencer had a strong ache to see Petra as well and explain, though she really had no idea what she was going to explain with a failing memory and a strong desire to kiss someone that was not at all Petra. The thinking was making her sick but she didn't have much else to do. Spencer was struggling through the nights many were now sleepless and if they weren't sleepless they were restless. There were nightmares she couldn't place and whenever she spoke about these to her mother Paula placated her with things like "Well maybe that was from a movie sweetheart, we do leave the TV in here on." Spencer knew this wasn't true when she'd first brought them up her mother's eyes had nearly popped out of her skull. She couldn't handle all this confusion, she was going crazy trying to remember the past and she was going crazy thinking of the kiss she'd shared with Ashley. The second she thought of it she felt butterflies in her stomach and tightness in her chest. She kept trying to convince herself it meant nothing but deep inside herself she felt things stirring if not three years ago she definitely had a strong distinction and idea for the past few months, though the details were certainly blurry. She needed to see Ashley before she saw Petra she just didn't know how she was going to do that.

"You have no idea." Petra was telling Aiden as she rubbed her temples. "I haven't slept since I first found out about the accident. Everything is so restless all the time and that damn sophomore is like fucking Visa she damned everywhere!" Petra continued frustrated. Aiden took in those words before carefully responding. "You know Petra no offense or anything but can you blame her? I know you feel like everyone is pushing Ashley on you but can you blame them? When you compare the two breakups and the reasons Ashley had a better reason." Petra was fuming but Aiden continued noting her response "Look I'm not saying Ashley was right but you killed her Petra, do you get that? Do you understand that she was dead? The world of depression your breakup pushed her into was awful. You want everyone to welcome you with open arms and that's not going to happen. You're not what is best for her, maybe we all thought you were but you proved us all very wrong. Maybe Ashley isn't either but he at least she took herself out of the equation for Spencer. You were selfish, you broke my bestfriend. Forgive me if I'm not playing into your sob story." Petra stood and threw down her water "You think you have it all figured out don't you Aiden? You think you know everything going through my head don't you? It's wasn't fun without her how dare you think it was!" Aiden retaliated immediately "Cut it out you think slamming your things around will make my memory as blurry as Spencer's? I remember all the blog posts Petra all the facebook pictures you had posted with that jackass from England. Spare me." "Go to hell Aiden!" "My conscience isn't guilty like yours I think I'll be fine. You need to leave Spencer alone." Petra stormed off with burning eyes and punched the nearest locker.
