CH.37- Pain
It's already lunch time. The school day and year is totally just drifting by fast. It's crazy. I'm so excited and sad though. I mean it's my last year of high school. I'm off to college after or wherever life has to take me. I'm happy but I don't want to leave these memories...especially Ashley.
By the way, Ashley's been acting a little weird today. I don't know what it is but she's just acting off. Something's bothering her. I can tell.
"Hey Ash you okay?" I asked, wrapping my arm around her waist.
Ashley and I are at our usual spot, waiting for Kaiden and Kananilia to come along. Yes, we all call Aiden and Kyla, Kaiden.
"Yeah Spence, just have a major migraine and my nose is killing." Ashley tells. I nod and smile as our friends walk up.
"Hey guys." I greet.
"Sup, whoa Ash what's wrong with you?" Aiden asks worried.
"I'm in pain." Ashley replies, rubbing her temples. I stood up from my spot and grab my bag. Throwing it over my shoulder as I reach over and grab Ashley's bag. Repeating my movements.
"And i'm going to take her home. She only has AVID then basketball practice. She could skip a day." I said.
"Get her home safely." commanded Kyla.
"I promise." I smiled and helped Ashley stand up. Good thing I picked Ashley up this morning. "Come on baby. Let's get you home." I intertwined our fingers and walked with Ash to my car.
"No i'm good. I can stay." Ashley winced.
"Ashley, you're wincing. I hear it in your voice. I'm taking you home and that's final." I opened the passenger seat and waited for her to get in.
"Geez you sound like my mom." Ashley and I laughed for a second. I closed the door and walked to my side of the car. Quickly jumping in and turning it on. After carefully backing out of my parking spot, I pulled out of the school parking lot and off I was.
It took me about 20 minutes to get to Ashley's house. I planned on helping her out but she got out of the car before I got to her. I handed Ash her bag and intertwined our fingers. We walked into her house and right up the stairs. Not stopping until we got to her room. I wasn't sure if I was going to stay or not but either way I missed the beginning of fifth period.
"You should go Spencer." Ashley says, distracting me
"Why?" I ask.
"Um because I don't need you by my side 24/7" Ashley snapped. Whoa. Where did this attitude come from? I get she's in pain but i'm just trying to be here for her.
"Relax yeah? I'm just trying to help." I replied, annoyed.
"Thanks but no thanks. Spencer i'm not a baby and i'm in pain. I'd rather be by myself than have you here bugging me every five seconds!" Ashley yelled, venom lacing off each word.
"Whatever, sometimes I don't know why I show I care so much. I don't know what your deal is, but call me when you've built your bridge and gotten yourself over it." I snapped back. Not even waiting for her to reply, I walked towards the door.
"Good you're leaving. Be safe driving sweetie pie!" Ashley shouted sarcastically. I blinked back the tears, knowing i'm about to drive.
"You too Ashley. Call me when you start caring." With that said, I slammed Ashley's room door behind me. Running down the stairs and out to my car. I unlocked my jeep then threw my bag into the front seat.
Before I sat down, I looked up at Ashley's bedroom window. I could see her wiping her eyes. I just scowled at her. Getting into my car and buckled up. I pulled out of the driveway and drove off. My brothers are at school, Kanani is at school, and my parents are at work. Looks like i'm skipping the rest of the school day.
When I got home I was pissed off, I don't get why she's all of a sudden acting like this but whatever. I needed to relax from school and Ashley. I went downstairs to the studio. Once I got there I set everything up to how I liked it.
There's guitars hanging from the wall so I walked over and picked out my acoustic one. I grabbed the stool and took it into the recording room. Setting the stool down near the microphone. I sat down and got comfortable with the guitar on my lap. Reaching over to grab the headphones to hear myself.
I gently started strumming my guitar, letting myself get used to the sound and fall into the music. When I was ready, I started singing a song I wrote awhile back.
A falling star
Fell from your heart
And landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud,
As it tore through them,
And now it's left me blind
I think I wrote this song when I was in Ohio. I don't remember.
The stars,
The moon,
They have all been blown out.
You left me in the dark.
No dawn,
No day,
I'm always in this twilight.
In the shadow of your heart.
This song gets to me sometimes. I forgot why but it just strikes a cord. Probably why i'm crying, thinking about her.
And in the dark,
I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped,
And I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became.
In a matter of seconds, the past and present came reeling through my thoughts. All good and bad memories flowing through my head.
The stars,
The moon,
They have all been blown out.
You left me in the dark.
No dawn,
No day,
I'm always in this twilight.
In the shadow of your heart.
Thank God for good memories, my crying was slowly stopping. All memories of the past in present. Showing me that even though you have good memories in the past, you'll make more in the future.
I took the stars from my eyes,
And then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating,
You were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
My strumming picked up, my anger was slowly fading. My thoughts of Ashley were still in my head. But they were good ones. I was slowly start to forget what happened at her house just an hour or so ago.
The stars,
The moon,
They have all been blown out.
You left me in the dark.
No dawn,
No day,
I'm always in this twilight.
In the shadow of your heart.
I slowed down my strumming, getting ready to end the song.
The stars,
The moon,
They have all been blown out.
You left me in the dark.
No dawn,
No day,
I'm always in this twilight.
In the shadow of your heart.
