Sorry for the long wait. School is a little more hectic than I thought it would be. Thank you everyone who reviewed and alerted my story. You don't know how much that means to me. Well enough stalling, here is the next chapter which is also in Ashley's POV. Enjoy!


Semi Confessions

Have you ever had one of those out of body experiences where your apart of something life altering and there is nothing you can do to change it? Well I have. Tonight's events will be forever engraved into my memory. I have never seen something so horrific in my life. Watching the person that you love slowly die is something I would not wish upon anyone.

I am currently sitting in the waiting room at the hospital that they rushed Spencer to. I called Glen about an hour ago but he didn't pick up. I left him a message letting him know what was going on. I just hope he listens to it soon. I hate being alone like this. I'm going crazy waiting on the doctor to give me an update. I pull out my phone to look at the time. The screen reads 12:21 a.m. Maybe I should call Kyla and let her know what's going on. I quickly find her name in my contacts and push dial.

"Hello?"

"Hey Ky"

"Ash what's wrong?" she says voiced laced with concern.

"Spencer ….she" I croaked out not being able to finish my sentence.

"I'm sorry Ash. Did she not except your apology when you told her about Judy? Does she not feel the same way?"

"It's not that. She….she's in the hospital."

"WHAT? What happened?"

I let out a long sigh knowing that this is not the last time that I am going to have to tell this story. "She overheard my conversation with Judy and then she kicked me out. She was so angry Ky. I didn't want to leave but the look in her eyes was so crestfallen and to think that I was the cause of it made my own heart break. When I was halfway home something just told me to turn around and explain everything to her." I let out a shaky breath because I know the next part will be the hardest part of the story to tell. "when…..when I got back to the apartment I called out Spencer's name but she never answered. When I finally found her she was lying on her bedroom floor in a pool of blood. Her blood." I choked out.

Kyla audibly gasped. "Ash are you saying that she…." She trailed off.

"Yea Ky. I think….. that she was trying to kill herself….and it's all my fault." I sobbed.

"Ashley it is not your fault."

"Yes it is! If I would have never took that call or looked at her folder in the first place then she wouldn't be here right now."

"Just calm down Ash. Everything is going to be ok."

"How can you even say that? Spencer almost died because of me!"

"What?"

I turn around and see Glen standing there with tears in his eyes. I can faintly hear Kyla on the phone calling my name but all I can think about is the inevitable fight that is about to happen.

"ASHLEY!" kyla yells over the phone.

I quickly snap out of my inner debate and answer Kyla. "Kyla I'll call you back later."

"What? Ash what's go-." I hang up before she can say anything else.

"Glen"

"What did you mean when you said that my sister almost died because of you? What did you do to my sister?" he said with malice in his voice.

"uuummm….Spencer overheard my phone conversation and then we got into a fight. She kicked me out but then I came back. When I came back s-she was lying on her bedroom floor in a pool of blood. She had cut both of her wrists."

Glen slowly slid against the wall until he hit the ground. He just sat there with a blank expression on his face. I slowly made my way over to him and put my hand on his shoulder. He reluctantly looked up at me with regret and guilt in his eyes. I wonder why.

"Glen are you okay?"

"No. I uumm…think I know why she did this to herself." I didn't ask why. I had a feeling that he was going to tell me anyway. Maybe I was just too afraid to find out. "Earlier today Spencer and I got into a big fight. One of the biggest we've had since…" he looked up at me with uncertainty.

"It's ok Glen. I know about the accident."

"So she finally told you?"

I slowly shook my head. "Actually no. I kind of already knew about it." I said with hesitance.

"Wait. What do you mean you already kind of knew?"

This is the part that I was afraid of. Either he would understand the situation or he would hate me. Well here goes nothing. "Well I intern for Judy Tyler and.."

"Judy Tyler. As in Spencer's psychiatrist?"

"Yeah. She asked me to file Spencer's folder one day and I looked in it. I had seen her come in a few times and had taken an instant liking to her. I don't know, I guess I just wanted to be her reason for smiling again. Well anyway Ms. Tyler found out that I had looked into her folder and she black mailed me. She said that if I didn't get Spencer to talk about the accident then she would fire me and she wouldn't give me the recommendation that I needed. Also her firing me would make it almost impossible to get another job in another office. Tonight I told her over the phone that I was done with this and that I didn't care if she fired me because I cared about Spencer. Well Spencer overheard the conversation and that's when she kicked me out."

Glen looked up at me with disbelief and anger. "I can't believe this. How could she do something like that?"

"I know I know. I didn't even want- wait she? You're not mad at me?" I asked with disbelief.

"I'm not even going to lie to you. That was messed up what you did. You've been lying to both of us for months…but you did the right thing in the end. So I respect you but I still don't forgive you yet. I mean your apart of the reason why my sisters here. I guess I can't blame everything on you. A lot of this is my fault."

"Glen can you please tell me what the fight was about? All that she told me was that it was about family stuff."

"I don't know Ashley. Maybe you should just wait and talk about this with Spencer."

"Glen she may never speak to me again after tonight and you know that Spencer would never tell me anyway. Please Glen. Please?" I begged.

He let out a tired sigh and nodded his head. "After the accident Spencer took things really bad. Things got even worse after we buried mom. She just always blamed herself. Anyway uummm….we were fighting about dad and how she never goes to see him. I mean it has been two years already. I go to see him every week but Spencer hasn't visited him since we moved here."

"So you buried your parents here?"

"What? No we buried my mom back in Ohio. Our dad is still alive Ashley. He is actually in this same hospital."

My head snapped up at this statement. Her dad was still alive? I guess I just assumed that since her file said that she was the only one to make it out of the accident ok that both of her parents had died. Well if her father isn't dead then what is he doing in this hospital? Does he work here or something?

"Well what is he doing in this hospital?" I hesitantly asked.

Glen looked down and then looked back at me with tears in his eyes. "He's been in a coma ever since the accident. The doctors say that they don't know if he will ever wake up." After saying this, Glen falls to the ground sobbing. I rush over to him and wrapped him up in my arms the best way that I could. As I console Glen my mind goes back to Spencer. She must feel terrible all of the time. Judging by the faded cuts on her wrist, there is defiantly more to this story and I am going to find out.


Well here it is. I hope I made it flow okay. Things should be picking up in the next chapter. I should have the next chapter up by Monday so please review. If you don't review then I will totally understand if you guys are mad at me for the long hiatus! I would be mad too.
