Chapter 10

Ok do you think it's possible to like a person although at the beginning you didn't like them at all? Well, for me it is possible. Why? Because I came to like Ashley yes Ashley, the crazy girl, the bipolar roommate of mine. Actually she is not a bad person. I guess I shouldn't judge from what I have seen. But yet, how couldn't I? She was a bitch well she still is but not to me.

After that night we came to our room and I said sorry and she actually said sorry too, Ashley and I were good. She stopped calling me names, although sometimes I miss it. Don't tell her that. She picks me up every day after my shift is finished and we come together to our dorms.

I learned that Ashley almost took every class at UCLA and now she was studying music. She was at the same department as I was but we were in different schools. And that explains the music posters on her wall. I can say that Ashley Davies and I were becoming friends. And I liked it don't tell her though.

When Kyla would see us together she would have this huge smile on her face, don't know why but I guess I need to ask her. And Ashley was smiling a lot. What was the matter with the Davies sisters?

We were at the campus walking with Ashley when I met again with that guy I saw a month ago. I think Mike was his name. Kyla was with us too. Mike stopped me and started talking to me. I have to say that he wasn't bad looking. He was nice and now that I wasn't freaking out I could have a talk with him.

"Hey gorgeous, you didn't come to my room. I was waiting for you"

"Sorry, but do I know you?" I played the 'I don't know you' card. Like I would give him the satisfaction that I did know him

"Come on babe it's me Mike! Don't you remember me?" Ashley and Kyla were there looking at me. They both had a weird look. Kyla was looking back to me and Ashley and Ashley although she was wearing her glasses I could see her. She didn't seem to like Mike at all.

"Well Mike sorry. I meet so many people all the time."

"It's ok babe. So what do you say? Wanna go out sometime?" Now I didn't know what to do Yes, Mike was a nice guy. He looked ok and I think it would be good start dating again. I didn't before I leave Greece. So it's been a long time. But I didn't want to look I was easy or anything.

"We will see."

"Can I have your phone?" Ashley and Kyla were hanging from my lips literally. I took a pen from my bag and I wrote my number on his hand. I don't know why but Ashley seemed pissed and Kyla was Kyla."

"Here"

"I will call you sexy"

"Bye Mike"

"Bye Spencer" he remembered my name? I wouldn't expect that from him. And it's the same about him calling. Guess we will see.

When Mike left I was back to Ashley and Kyla. They didn't say anything and we all looked at each other. And why out of sudden we were quiet?

"Kyla did you see? He asked me out!"

"Yeah, ohm I saw that."

"He looks nice"

"Yeah, ohm he does"

"Ashley?" Ashley still wasn't speaking. Why she was being like that? What was her problem? I suppose we are friends.

"Yes, Spencer?"

"What do you think?"

"Does it matter? You gave him your phone either way"

"I think that's how it suppose to be. For going out with someone you have to give your phone"

"Do you know him? Do you know who he is? What he does if he is crazy or not?"

"I thought you were crazy Ashley and now I am friends with you" I think I pushed the wrong button because Ashley looked at me and said 'whatever' and left me and Kyla looking at each other.

"What the fuck did just happen now?"

"Ohm really I don't know"

"Why she is acting like a bitch Kyla?"

"Ashley well Ashley is a hard person to read. You will find day by day. She is like and onion. I can't describe her anyway else. You have to husk the onion till you find its heart. That's all I can say.

"You are not helping Kyla"

"Sorry"

I didn't want her to say she was sorry. I wanted some answers. And I wanted them from the one person who could give them to me Ashley.

I didn't know where she went. Of course I wouldn't search all university to find Ashley. She could be anywhere, inside or outside campus. But she would come eventually at our room and then I would ask her what her problem is. Not with Mike, with everything. Why she was like that with me? Why she was a bitch again with the entire Mike thing? Just why.

That day I had my day off so I wouldn't be at work. I was inside my room waiting for her. It was 9.30 and she still wasn't here. Where the fuck she was? What if she is hurt or anything? I checked one more time my watch. It was 9.35pm when the door opened and Ashley was in with another person with her. It was a girl kissing her and practically falling on the floor giggling. They seemed not to care that I was there. They were making out in front of me. Ashley was kissing another girl on our floor, in our room. Ashley was kissing a girl.

"What the fuck Ashley?"

"Oh hi Spencer"

"What the fuck are you doing?" she didn't look at me. She continued touching and kissing the unknown girl.

"Hmm I think you know" Oh, my God. Is she for real? I couldn't stand looking at them.

"Who she is Ashley?" the unknown girl said while she was kissing Ashley's neck.

"No one she is just my roommate"

No one! Just her roommate! Ok good to know how Ashley feels. I took my bag and went out of this fucking room and away from Ashley. What I understood right now is that a person can't change. And Ashley would never change even with a million sorry for her behavior.

I didn't know where to go. It was 10pm and I it would be the first time I would be outside alone. I didn't want to take a bus. I didn't want to go at my grandparents.

I was walking back when I felt someone behind me. I heard footsteps and I just continued walking. I wouldn't stop for anything. While I was walking faster I could hear him walking faster as well. I was freaking out. I couldn't look back. If I did I would lose my concentration. Where is the fucking police campus?

Being clumsy as I am I fallen on a rock and now I was lying down. The man who was behind me was nowhere to be found. He was behind me seconds ago and now where was he? I stood up ready to leave when I fell on the ground again. But it wasn't me this time. Someone was holding me from behind. I wanted to scream but I couldn't. His hand was on my mouth. I was trying to free myself but while I was trying he was wrapping me tighter. I was so afraid. I closed my eyes because I knew what would happen. I have seen it in movies. I was thinking my parents, my home, and the sea. It's true what they say. When you are having a near to death experience you see your life passing in front of you.

"What are you doing there? Hey you. I am talking to you. Leave her alone" God loves me. God send me someone to help me. I need to find a church tomorrow and light a candle. My attacker was scared and left me alone. I let myself cry. I needed to cry. This night could have been the worst night in my whole life.

"Hey, are you ok?" I just nodded my head. I couldn't speak with all the crying. I was shaking. It was summer and I was feeling like it was -10 degrees out…

"Are you sure you are ok? Did he hurt you?" I still couldn't speak. I just nodded again and tried to stand up but my legs were weak. I had to thank this guy though who helped me tonight. I needed to speak just to say 'thank you' to my savior.

"Ohm" I wanted to say thank you" once I turned my face to look at my savior I saw a face I knew Mike. Mike was the one who saved me tonight. "Mike?"

"Spencer? Are you ok? Do you want me to take you in a hospital or something?"

"NO, I am ok. Just help me walk to my room please"

"Yes, of course"

On my way to my room all I could think was that guy's hands on my mouth. I was thinking what would happen if Mike wouldn't be there to scare him away.

"We are here. Thank you Mike"

"Let me help you open the door"

"Thank you"

Once he opened the door I was faced with Ashley and that girl on Ashley's bed. Ashley wasn't sleeping. She saw me and Mike and tried to stand up and talk. I didn't want to talk and especially to Ashley this moment.

"Are you sure you are ok Spencer? I am really worried"

"It's ok Mike. Thank you"

"Ok I will call you tomorrow to check up on you"

"Ok"

"Goodnight"

"Goodnight Mike"

I walked slowly to my bed. I didn't have the strength to remove my clothes but these clothes needed to be off. I needed to throw them away because they were reminding me the awful night. It's the first time I took my clothes off in front of Ashley and I didn't care.

"Spence what happened?" I didn't have the strength to strip from my clothes. Imagine talking to her. I just didn't.

"SPENCE what happened?"

"Not now"

"Please" I could feel the plead in her tone.

"Not now"

I slept with only my underwear. I turned my face looking at the wall and started crying. I could feel Ashley looking at me. She was still there. Standing but I didn't care.

For her, I was no one just her roommate.
