Trapped
Oct 14, Thursday
12:21 A.M.
It's been 3 hours and 21 minutes up here talking about the plans that Madison and Spencer came up with for this weekend.
Ok, I'm lying.
First, it started with arguing about this morning and how she would make plans with Madison when she knows all the problems we have had recently. Next, it went on with Spencer telling me that I had to grow up and let everything go because she loved me. Finally, Spencer started telling me everything she had planned for us.
This is currently where we are right now. Let's just say that it's been a long 3 in a half hours.
"Ashley, are you listening to me?" I looked up at her while I was laying my head on my pillows.
"Yeah. You told me that you want us to go on this tour around the city. Check out the waterfront and check out the history. Did I miss anything?" Spencer was doing her hair in the mirror on the dresser and shot me a look as if telling me that I was being a smartass!
Better to be a smartass than a dumbass!
"Can I add something fun for this weekend?" I was currently looking at my phone and a location that we could check out that was supposedly haunted.
"Does it have to do with ghosts or anything haunted?" Umm, did she not know me at all?
"Do you want the truth or a lie?" I got the look again in the mirror and I knew that I had better said the truth because I would pay for it in the long run if I didn't.
"Yes it does but-." Spencer cut me off and told me that she wanted this to be fun for us and not deal with ghost or any kind of paranormal.
I was pretty much getting the feeling that she didn't love what I loved anymore. Maybe she was done with my jokes? Maybe she was done with my treats?
"Maybe next time we can check the places out in Pittsburgh." I should let this go and be the bigger person, right? So, why is it that I'm feeling like crap now?
"We should get some sleep." I got up from the bed and I started walking towards the door and I was going to head to spare room.
"Where are you going?" Spencer asked me as she was getting into bed.
"I'm going to sleep in the spare room." Spencer smiled at me and for some reason it didn't make me feel good inside like her smile usually does.
"Babe, that was just for last night. I want you in bed with me." Spencer moved the blankets down so I would join her in bed but I was not in the mood for anything tonight.
"It's ok. I already made my bed up in the spare room. You get some sleep and I'll see you in the morning." I opened the door and I walked out before letting Spencer fight me on my decision. I was tired and for some reason I wanted to cry. I'd rather not have her right next to me and let her know I was crying.

I didn't get sleep. Instead I laid there in bed thinking that I was being a big baby for nothing but I promise you there was something about the way Spencer told me how she felt about everything made it completely different for me. I love that girl to death and I would do anything to make her happy but last night after our convo I was crushed.
Spencer came into the spare room around 5 telling me that she hated not being next to me. I was done crying by then that I let her stay and she cuddled against me. I wrapped my arms around her and I held in the emotions.
Please tell me that this feeling goes away?

"We have to pack tonight after class so we can be ready to leave after school tomorrow. GPS says that it will only be a little over 3 hours. I'm so glad that Aiden said he would drive so we can have the back seat to ourselves." We were in the cafeteria grabbing something to eat before class because I didn't want to go the café. I didn't want to have another morning like yesterday.
Spencer was super hyped about this trip and I was doing everything to hide how I really felt about everything.
"Yeah I'll pack when we get back to the house. Have you heard from your mom?" I was changing the subject.
"I talked with her yesterday on my way back to the house after school. She told me that Papa was in good spirits and still talking about when we came to visit." That made me smile. That made this morning a little bit better.
"Good. I'm glad. When do they come back home?" Spencer put her drink down from her lips and I knew that I said something wrong.
"They said Sunday. Do you want me to go back home or something?" I apparently can't say shit right to save my life.
"Not at all." I reached my hands out to hers and I pulled them towards me as I kissed the top of them letting her know that I meant nothing about her leaving the house.
"We better get going. We can't afford to keep being late for class." I told her as I let go of her hands and I grabbed my backpack from the seat next to me. Spencer grabbed her stuff and walked over to me and laced her fingers with mine. I held onto her hand wanting assurance that I was going to be ok but I wasn't feeling it at the moment.
What the hell is wrong with me?

Classes were dragging today and I hated it. I had the biggest headache and I was done with listening to everyone telling me what I needed to do. At this very moment I was feeling like I wish I had more friends other than Aiden and Spencer's friends. Man I needed to open up myself a little bit more.
Aiden was on my shit list even though he had no clue of it.
"Ashley?" I heard my name being called and I lifted my head up from my table. Professor Daniels was preaching away and I was trying to get a nap in between monologues. I looked to my side and Frankie was trying to get my attention.
Frankie use to date Madison. Back when we were in high school they were a thing. Madison however dropped him for Aiden our senior year and never looked back. Frankie was a sweetie but Madison definitely did him dirty and never had any remorse for it.
"What's up?" I tried to keep it low because I did not need Daniels on my ass this afternoon. He would call me out and I would hate that. He loves to embarrass people when you don't pay attention in class.
"You going to PA this weekend?" Ugh how did he know about PA? I was very intrigued now.
"That was the plan. Why? What's going on in PA and how do you know about it?" I needed to hear everything that he had to say because I didn't want to get this wrong when I brought it up later so I waited until Professor Daniels started writing on the board and I moved to the seat that was right next to Frankie.
"Ok. Now you can tell me everything." I sat there listening to every detail that Frankie had to give me.
"A big group of us are going over there for a scavenger hunt for Halloween." EXCUSE ME!
"Yeah it's early but because there's the dance or whatever the hell you want to call it next weekend we knew that we wouldn't be able to get to PA before Halloween so we are heading there tomorrow. I told Madison all about it the other day in class and she said that she wanted to go. I'm only assuming she would bring Spencer and of course you. I wasn't thrilled about the idea of having Aiden there but it is what it is." I swear I sat there not knowing what to say.
Did Spencer know about this or was Madison keeping this to herself? I was so confused that I didn't even know what to say at that moment to Frankie.
"Now are you for sure Madison said she would join in on the scavenger hunt with you guys this weekend?" Frankie shook his head yes and I was now on the verge to get to the bottom of this.
I know Spencer wouldn't lie about something like this but Madison on the other hand would lie like a bitch about anything as long as it goes her way.
Ok, I'm mad now.

"Pick up your fucking phone!" I was done with classes and I was heading to grab dinner for everyone because mom didn't want to cook tonight so pizza was fine with me. I told her I would pick it up after I was done for the day.
Now I was trying to get Aiden on the phone and see if he knew anything about what the plans were for the weekend.
"Oh we talking now?" Of course he was going to be a little bitch and answer the fucking phone like that. Grow a pair, bro!
"Kiss my ass! Now tell me again what the plans are for this weekend? Well what Madison said to you because I already know you didn't plan shit."
"Stop being so mean Ash." Such a pussy!
"She basically said she wanted to have a weekend out of town of relaxing and hanging out. She named off a few places to eat but that was about it. Why? What's going on? You're going, right? You can't leave my ass to the girls all weekend!" I couldn't help but laugh because he was sounding like one of the girls himself.
"Ohhhh trust me I'm not going to miss this weekend for the world."
I had no idea what was going throw Madison's head right now but I was going to get to the bottom of it all.
(A/N: I wanted to get this chpt up before I head into work so you guys had something to read tonight. I got to say though Ashley's feelings in the story are mirroring my own feelings right now. I swear writing can do that to you. Enjoy everyone!
