"Spencer at the rate you're going you are going to wear a hole in the floor with your pacing. Just calm down everything will be okay." Clay tries to tell me.
Carmen called a little while ago to let me know that Tom was released and that once she he was served she would come over and explain what will happen next. I nervous plus I did not sleep well last night. I think it's just because I was in a different bed then I'm used to.
It's about twenty minutes later and I see a car pull up into the drive way. I really hope that this is Carmen, I then see the person getting out of the car and I let go of the breathe that I didn't realize that I was holding.
Before Carmen has a chance to ring the door bell before I open it up. "Hi Carmen I'm really glad that you're here" I say as she walks into the house.
"Yeah I thought she was going to wear a hole through the floor with her nervous pacing" Clay adds showing Carmen into the living room. "Carmen can I get you something to drink" he then asks.
"No thanks Clay I really need to get back to the office. I just wanted to let you both know where we stand from here. As soon as Tom let the jail house, Aiden served him with both restraining orders and was advised of the penalties should he break it." Carmen starts to explain. "If either of you should see him within 100 feet of you, your house, jobs, hangouts or where ever you might be, I want you to call all three of these numbers on this card" She then hands both Clay and I a business card.
"Call those numbers in the order that they are written. The first of course it 911, I also listed both Ashley's and Aiden's badge numbers tell the dispatcher that if either officer is working that they be notified of the call. The second number you might recognize that is Ashley's cell phone, it may seem redundant to have her number there also but just incase she and Aiden aren't working Ashley will know what is going on. The last number is my cell phone; you can call me anytime day or night. This all might be overkill here but I would just like to cover all the bases." Carmen finishes.
"Look I'm would really love to stay and catch up but I really have to get back to work, I'll see you both tonight at the club right?" Carmen asks while walking towards the door.
"Oh hey Carmen by the way what should I wear tonight I'm not sure that I have anything that will work?" I ask shyly.
Carmen just turns around and says "Give Madison a call I'm sure that she and Kyla can help you out." With that Carmen gets into her car and drives away.
"Clay are you going to be okay with all of this? I feel really bad that I am bringing all of this too you. If I had just stayed in Ohio you won't be going through this." I try to say while trying to hold back the tears.
"Hey you listen to me Spencer, I love you, and I am so glad that you are here! If you hadn't decided to move back I was going to finish out the rest of this year and then go back home to finish school. Please I know that this is where your heart is. I know you don't know it yet but you will soon enough." Clay is telling me just as my phone starts to ring.
I check the caller idea before I answer. "Hey Madison are you reading my mind again?" I asked.
"Nope I just found out that we are going to party tonight, and figured that you might need so help getting some clubbing clothes for L.A." Madison tells me.
I start to laugh at this "Okay my fashion guru how about you pick me up and we do a little damage to my savings account."
We have been at the mall now for about three hours my feet are killing me and I just want to go home and take a nap up I am still being dragged around by Madison and Kyla. I finally said that I had to go to the bathroom just so that I could sit down for just a minute. While I was in there I send a quick text to Ashley.
STXT: Your sis is killing me!
ATXT: Still shopping?
STXT: Yes please help!
ATXT: HAHA no!
STXT: NO!
STXT: Please!
ATXT: No fair pouting!
ATXT: I'll take care of it.
True to her word Ashley called Kyla and came up with some excuse as to why she needed her to go.
Madison drops me off at home and promises to be back in about an hour. "I'll be back in a couple of hours to help you get ready okay?" She asked.
I wonder if she can tell just how nervous I am. "That would really be great Madison, I would really love that."
I guess somehow it was decided that we would all meet at here before we head to the club. So we have Aiden, Ashley, Carmen, Clay, Kyla, Madison and I.
Ashley decided to drive her Cadillac Escalade since it would fit all of us.
Ashley was even able to get us right into the club. I guess having a rocker Dad does have some advantages. As soon as we walk in I'm over whelmed, it is huge! I just stopped in my tracks. Ashley noticed that I was no longer with the group and cam back to grab me. I didn't even notice her until she took my hand.
Ashley gave my hand a gentle squeeze before saying "Don't worry I won't let you get lost" She then give me that smile of hers that just makes my knees go week.
"Thanks Ash" is all that I can say in return.
