Listening to currently: If I Had Eyes by Jack Johnson
She hands me a photo. She just told me that she knew that I still didn't believe that it was actually her. I wish she would just let it all go. I kind of don't want it to be her because she used to be my best friend. You don't kiss your best friend one night and then want to keep doing it. That's like… against the best friend's code of conduct! Right?
"I remember that whole day." I chuckle as I look back at her, "You were the only one I hugged that day." I smile at her. I hated to hug people. But it was something about her you know?
"Come here." She says and brings me into a hug. See, we fit perfectly together.
But that shouldn't happen right? I shouldn't be thinking about that about her. Because, I know it's her. I have known for a while, I just don't want to believe it. I don't want to admit that it's actually her because she's been gone for so long.
She pulls away from me and I hand her the photo back. I watch her put it back in her book. She sighs down at the book. I remember that sigh from so long ago. She hated that sigh. I wonder if she knows that she's doing it now. "Can I ask you something?" She says quietly as a guy runs past us. I nod because it looks like its bugging her, "Why are you here?" Oh man, didn't expect that one.
"What?" That's right, Spence, play dumb. That'll make her like you even more.
"Seriously. Why did your parents send you here?" She stares at me with her chocolate brown eyes. Her eyes always comforted me. Always have. And I think that they always will.
Why does she want to know? It's really none of her business to know why they sent me here. I have to lie because if I tell her the truth, she'll hate me. I know she will. It's not who I am. It wasn't even my fault! But since im an excellent friend, I took the blame. "They thought um… that I needed to get onto a different path." Well that's not a lie, but it's not the whole truth either
"And?" And what? Im not going to tell her what happened that night. I can't.
It's around mid-night when I rolled over in her bed. I snaked my arm around Roxy's bare stomach. "Ready?" She asked. That night I would do anything with her. We were already out drinking with a couple of friends. "Erin just texted me." I smiled into darkness. I wonder if she's smiling back at me.
"Im ready." We get out of bed and put our clothes back on.
I open up her window and take off the screen. Im lucky that she's on the first floor and not the second. This one is so much easier to sneak out of. I let her climb out of the window first and then I follow her. We run down her driveway and jump into Erin's boyfriend's truck. Or what I thought was his truck.
"Whose truck is this?" I ask rubbing my arms for some warmth
She didn't answer, "Erin?" Roxy said from the back seat
Erin turned to us, "It's from that Ford lot down the street from the high school." She smiled big, "I've been eyeing it for a while now." She looked back at the road
I turned around and Roxy and I exchanged looks, "So you stole the truck?" She asked
"I wouldn't consider it stolen." She laughed a little but became really tense when a cop car past us
"Then what the fuck would you consider it, Erin!" I said panicking. I looked in the side-view mirror and watched the cop turn around, "Shit Erin!" I hear Roxy in the backseat freaking out
"Fuck." I hear Erin slur. I look over at her and she's going 80mph in a 45mph speed zone. I hurry up and buckle my seat belt and tell Roxy to do the same. I tell her to slow down but she doesn't listen as she jerks the wheel to the left.
It all happened so fast that I barely remember it. But somehow, I remember everything so clearly. I saw the front end that was smashed into a tree start to smoke badly. "We got to get out of here." I say. My right hand stings with pain as I open my door
We all get out of the truck and Erin's head is bleeding. Roxy's nose is bleeding. I tell them to run into the woods and stay there until it's all over. "What about you?" Roxy grabs my hand
I kiss her, "Just go." I push her and I watch her run off
Next thing I know is that im on the ground. Hands behind my back. Head forced down into the ground. The sirens are blaring in my ears as I stumble closer to the car with flashing lights. "Where are the others miss?" The officer asks me as he pushes me into the back seat of his car
"There weren't others." I say covering for them
I hear him sigh, "They must consider you a great friend then." He slams the door
"Spencer?" I look at Ashley who laughs, "You ok there?" I chuckle
"Yeah of course. Let's go somewhere." I stand up grabbing her hand and pulling her up off of the fountain ledge. I start to lead her somewhere, "I don't know where im going." She laughs and pulls me into a different direction
We walk into the school and I drop her hand. She looks over at me and then straight ahead again. "Oh great." I see Ashley roll her eyes as her sister stops in front of us
She gives me the dirtiest look ever, "Ashley can I talk to you?" She asks looking over at her sister
That's something I have to ask her about, "We're going somewhere." Ashley grabs my hand again and she pulls me forward and little but Kyla doesn't even move
"You aren't going anywhere with her." She crosses her arms and stares at me
Im still holding onto Ashley's hand. "What's your problem that you have with me?" I so want to punch her right now
She walks closer to me and leans in close to my ear, "You're a les—" I drop Ashley's hand and I pull back my right arm and throw it forward. It connects with Kyla's face.
"Spencer!" Ashley grabs my arm before I can hit her again
Kyla is a stupid little bitch who is stuck up. Snobby. And she thinks she rules the world just because she's rich. "What the heck?!" Kyla whines as she covers her nose up. She starts walking away and she calls for Ashley is a mean tone.
Ashley sighs and looks over at me. She starts to walk away back I grab her arm this time. She looks at me, "How is she your sister?" I mean for real. "You didn't have a sister 7 years ago. So why now?"
"She's my half sister. She's my dad's other daughter. Her mom died shortly after our dad did. That's when we took her in. Me and my mom." Wow I kind of want to feel sorry for her, but not really. She sighs, "But, im going to go and help her clean up." She smiles at me and walks off
I watch her walk into the bathroom with Kyla. The same bathroom that just before we made out in. I sigh and smile to myself, "Spencer, come on!" Eric pulls me into the forum where tons of people are sitting down.
"What are we doing here?" I ask him
"Look." He points up to the stage and our principle walks up and over to the microphone
"I just want to let everyone know that next Friday night is the first dance of the school year. You are allowed to bring either your girlfriend or boyfriend." People cheer at that, "And just remember that to keep it clean. No dirty dancing." He looks at some girls in the front row and a couple of people laugh, "That's all." They clap for him
"Wanna go?" Eric looks at me
I turn around and open the door, "I don't do dances."
So there was chapter 10! Whose POV do you want next? Spencer's? Ashley's? Kyla's? You choose! Your feedback is important. Just keep that in mind!
