Just after the two month mark, smooth, non?
Again, sorry for the lack of updates, but my life has morphed into sleep and work, which sucks.
Anyway, as always the feedback rocks my socks, so thanks to all who have left some!
This chapter is probably rather choppy, but just bear with it. And I've deliberately not specified whose POV the last two parts are in, one could be Ashley and the other Spencer, or both Ashley, or both Spencer, or both someone completely random, you just don't know!
The lyrics at the beginning are from the song "Over My Head (Cable Car)" by The Fray, it's good music yo'!
Chapter 13
And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
September 2002
"Double maths suuuuuuuuuucks!" She laments, putting bored emphasis on the sucks part. I softly nod in agreement and she nuzzles her face into my neck.
"And the worst part is that you're not in my class, hmp!"
"Yeah, but that means that I don't have to suffer through it. So that sucks for you!" She pulls away from me in time to see me stick my tongue out at her.
"You suck." She sulks, kicking at something on the pavement, clearly bored waiting for her mother to pick us up after school.
I smile to myself as I push myself off from the small wall and slowly start to wander down the road, looking for any sign of Mrs. Davies SUV.
Soft fingertips lock around my forearm and a warm palm presses into my wrist and Ashley lets out a gentle disgruntled sound as she pulls me back to her. Her free arm wraps itself around my midriff and she presses her mouth into the back of my shoulder, "Don't leave me."
I can feel her pouting against my flesh and it makes me grin widely, "I was just looking out for your mum." I tell her, but I don't think she's even listening.
She sighs, trying to snuggle against me, "Hmm, don't go anywhere."
I'd never tell her, but I love when she gets protective of me, it makes me feel all warm and funny inside.
Present Day
My eyes lock with hers as she walks into the classroom and she slyly smiles at me, my pulse is racing. Of course she doesn't pay me anymore attention for the rest of the lesson, but still, she acknowledged me and that's enough.
On her way out, as I'm digging around in my school bag, trying to get all my books to fit in, I feel her fingers skim over my skin and it feels like my stomach has just dropped out of my backside. I look up in time to see her disappear off into the hallways, getting lost in the sea of students. My hand still tingles from her touch, but I don't know what she's thinking. What she's doing, or what she thinks she's doing. And I fear that it will slowly drive me crazy.
One Month On From The Present Day
She giggles as I kiss her flat stomach, my nose tickling the taut flesh that covers her ribcage and I grin against her soft skin. Her hands pull my body upwards, just far enough so that our lips can meet once more, her giggles fading to sighs as her bodies run on autopilot kissing each other expertly. Fingers and hands finding sensitive skin, the right tempo so well known at this point, my fingers push into her, ever so slightly and her body falls away from me; pressing itself deeper into her plush mattress.
I let my lips wander to her neck as my finger push deeper, sliding into the territory they know and love, softly sending waves of pleasure throughout her body. She moans my name and I mutely sigh, wholly contented.
Three Months On From The Present Day
His shoe buries itself into my tenderized abdomen as venom spills out of his mouth, blind accusations confusing my already sore head. His friend pulls my body upward, holding me steady as he begins to punch at my face and torso again. My body lies limp in his friend's arms and he still does not stop, his words match the blows his hands deliver. Blood fills my mouth and I'm unable to keep protesting, my muttered pleas never reaching his ears.
Soon his words start to fade and hush, the destruction to my body no longer hurting and the solidity of the world around us starts to crumble away.
