Carlin House

Ashley's POV

Spencer led me down the stairs and I was confused until I saw what she had set up.

Ashley: "Aw, Spence. Thank you! You're sweet."

Spencer: "You're welcome. I know it's not much but-"

Ashley: "It's perfect. Honestly."

We end up mixing a few different kinds of cereal together. It tasted awesome. We were almost done eating when I heard the front door open. I look back and see Glen and Clay come through the door. Clay walks up stairs and Glen walks into the kitchen. He starts to say something but I hear my phone ring upstairs. I get up and run up the stairs into Spencer's room to get it.

Ashley: "Hello?"

Caller: "Hello Ashley."

Ashley: "Mom, what do you want?"

Ashley's Mom: "Don't give me attitude, dear."

Ashley: "Mom! I got arrested because of you!"

I hear footsteps coming up the stairs and down the hall, along with commotion coming from Glen. I tell my mother to hold on and I walk outside to the bench in the Carlin's front yard. I sit down and start talking again into the phone.

Ashley: "Okay, what do you want?"

Ashley's Mom: "Well, I just heard from your father's manager..."

Beep.

Ashley: "Hold on, someone's beeping in."

I look down at my cellphone and I don't recognize the number but I take the call anyway.

Ashley: "Hello?"

Caller: "Is this Ashley Davies?"

Ashley: "Yes. Who is this?"

Caller: "Ashley, this is Don. I'm your dad's manager."

Ashley: "Oh. Uhm, hi Don."

Don: "Uh, yeah. I don't have a lot of time. I suppose I'm responsible for telling you that your father's viewing is today. And if you plan to attend we will arrange transportation."

Ashley: "What time does it start?"

Don: "Oh. An hour ago."

Ashley: "WHAT?!"

Don: "So-"

Ashley: "My dad's viewing started an hour ago and you just now call to tell me?!"

Don: "Miss-"

Ashley: "What in the HELL is wrong with you?!"
