I own no part of SON
Thank you all, I love you.
Much to my dismay Becky has convinced me to spend a day with just her. She even said no calling Ashley. So now my stupid roommate is off somewhere in the apartment hiding my phone. Apparently she wants my undivided attention.
"Are you done yet? Fuckin crazy bitch."
I mumble the last part under my breath but apparently not quietly enough.
"I heard that and yes I am done. Now for a day of best friends!"
She's grinning like a maniac and I'm seriously considering having her put on a funny farm. I smile to myself at the idea of Becky locked away in a padded room.
"Why are you smiling like that? It's creepy, knock it off."
She brushes past me and grabs two waters out of the fridge. I generously accept one and take a long pull from the bottle.
"Remind me again why we are doing this? I'd much rather be with Ashley."
I throw myself on the couch and rest my legs on Becky's lap.
"We're doing this because whenever we hang out these days it's always with Ashley and Christian too. I miss you so we are doing this, so quit your complaining!"
She uses a joking tone when she speaks but I can see that she truly does miss me. I grin and sit up.
"Ok fair enough."
Becky's face drops in amazement.
"You mean you're not going to fight me on this, like no yelling?"
I let out a full laugh.
"Nope no fighting. So what are we doing oh wise one?"
A grin bursts on her face and she quickly stands up, grabbing a jacket.
"Come on! I'll show you what's in store for today!"
She bolts out the door and I hurry to catch up to her.
After an hour or so of driving the car finally stops in front of some questionable looking hut with ATVs parked outside.
"Four wheeling? You're taking me four wheeling?"
She's got a shit eating grin on her face and she hurries out of the car.
"Oh hell yeah I booked us a two hour ride, just you and me my friend."
I laugh and follow her into the strange looking building. I actually start feeling excitement as I dress in my gear and grab my key.
Becky throws a backpack over her shoulders and gives me thumbs up as she climbs aboard her ATV.
I grin as my vehicle roars to life and I take off down the path. Riding on the ATV is strangely freeing as trees and bushes whip past me.
I let out an exhilarated yell as I push the four wheeler even faster. Images flash through my mind: Aiden's bloody last minutes, Ashley's sparkling eyes, Becky's sad demeanor, Glen's remorseful apology, Ashley's anger, and Ashley's forgiveness.
I shoot through a stream, dirty water splashing onto my clothes and goggles. I slow the ATV to a stop and pull my helmet off, my hair cascading around my shoulders.
I take in a deep breath as I wait for Becky to join me, relishing in the cool forest air. I smile as I hear her four wheeler stop beside me and her ecstatic voice rings throughout the quiet forest.
"This is so friggin sweet! Hey about a mile up we are going to stop and do lunch, so I'll lead this time!"
Becky takes off, spraying me with mud. I push my helmet back on my head and take off after my best friend.
We stop at a small clearing and we both take our helmets off. She has mud all over her face except where her goggles sat on her face and I burst out into a fit of giggles.
"What? What's so funny?"
I continue laughing until there are tears streaming down my face, creating a path on my own mud caked cheeks.
"Wipe your face, you look ridiculous."
She grins sheepishly and wipes her face on her arm.
In Becky's backpack there are two turkey sandwiches, two waters, a bag of BBQ chips, and two chocolate chip cookies.
We munch quietly on our food, too tired to hold a conversation.
After we finish I feel much better and decide to get on with the whole "bonding" thing.
"So you and Christian are getting pretty serious."
I watch as a lazy smile drifts over her features and her face clouds over all dreamy like.
"Yeah he's great. I really like him Spence, and I'm really glad you get along with him too. But what about you and Ash huh? Things getting really serious with you two."
I set down my water and gaze up at the blue sky.
"I love her, plain and simple."
Becky lies down next to me and turns her face to look at me.
"I'm so happy for you. I really am, you two are adorable together and I can tell she really cares for you too."
I smile at Becks and grab her hand.
"Well Becks, I'm happy for you too."
We sit in silence for several more minutes before Becky breaks it again.
"Spencer?"
"Yeah Becks?"
She takes a deep breath and sits all the way up.
"I know I've mentioned it before but be careful with Bobby ok? I can see he has the potential to destroy what you have with Ash."
I consider telling her differently but I see the reason in her warning and just nod my head instead.
We finish our tour and the car ride home is a silent one.
As we pull up to our apartment we see two figures sitting on the curb. I instantly recognize Christian's tall frame and Ashley's sexy one.
I bite my cheek to keep from laughing and Becky rolls her eyes at them.
"They are so pathetic."
As the other two recognize my car they both light up and exchange high fives. I scoff at them and turn to Becky.
"We should really just leave them here."
She laughs and parks my car, still chuckling as we both clamor out of the vehicle.
"What have you guys been doing? You're bloody filthy."
Becky and I laugh at Christian's reaction.
I try to pull Ashley into a hug but she takes a step back.
"I'm not touching you when you're that gross."
I scoff at her and the four of us make our way into the apartment.
After we both shower Becky and I nestle down next to our beaus to have a movie marathon.
I'm a little embarrassed to say we both ended up passing out after the first 20 minutes of the first movie. What a perfect day.
Here's another one. I really hope you all decide to stick with me and finish reading the story. Thanks again for the reads/reviews/adds!
