Spencer's POV

I lay there in Julie's room and just stare at the wall when my phone rings. I look and see that it's Ashley so I press talk.

"Hey I miss you I thought you were going to check in."

I try to say something but nothing comes out so I clear my throat and try again.

"Sorry I just got caught up."

"Oh it's ok, Hey are you alright."

I try to sound a little more cheerful when I answer her so she wont get worried and after hearing everything that Julie's parents said about that night I really dont want to talk about it.

"Yeah I'm fine I'm actually about to go out to dinner with Julie and some friends but i'll call you later ok."

"Uh ok then have fun." I hang up and just stare at the ceiling.

Ashley's POV

I hang up the phone and I know that something is wrong with Spencer. I turn in my seat and face the bar.

"A strawberry banana smoothie for you." Christine turns around and puts the glass in front of me. "What's wrong? Did Spencer answer?"

"Something is wrong she didn't sounds like herself."

"Maybe she is just tired."

"What happened to her parents?" I watch as Christine has a seat at the bar and starts staring at her hand.

"Arthur, Spencer's dad worked with troubled teens kids that would get in trouble like stealing or skipping school stuff like that. Well Arthur was trying to get this boy Jacob Wright back into school he got kicked out for fighting and not showing up to classes. After many meetings with the school board Arthur couldn't give Jacob what he promised him and I guess Jacob got mad and that night he came to their house stabbed Arthur five times, Paula six , Paula was pregant with Spencer's brother then he stabbed Spencer twice"

"In her side." I look down at the glass. "That's where the scars are from."

"Yes." Christine stares at me for a while. "How do you know about the scars?"

"I saw them" I notice Christine sit up straight. "Relax mom I didn't do anything to Spencer. She is the sweetest person I know how does something so horrible happen to such a nice person." I stand up and walk to my room.

Spencer's POV

Julie walks into the room and sits on the side of the bed.

"Hey you want to eat something? Mom made it a Manwich night!" Julie smiles at me I know she is trying to cheer me up but I couldn't get the sound of my mom yelling out of my head.

"I'm not that hungry thanks." Julie hugs me then gets up and leaves the room. I ignore six calls from Ashley and about sixty text messages from her too. I felt bad for doing it but I need this time to myself suddenly I remember my life that once was a mystery, the two people I had in my life were taken from me by a kid that was a year younger than me. A kid my father was trying to help, I just needed to know why this boy took my family and look into his eyes one more time.

Ashley's POV

After about a million tries at communicating with Spencer I finally give up and go to sleep. I wake up in the morning with Christine standing by my bed telling me to get dressed and tosses me a plane ticket.

"What is this?" I get up and rub my eyes.

"A ticket to Ohio so lets go already throw a few things in a bag and lets go."

I jump up from bed put a t shirt on a pair of pants and throw some outfits into a suitcase then me and Christine are off to the airport. We get to the Ohio airport and Christine runs off and I try calling Spencer again but straight to voicemail. Cristine returns and hands me a key. 'It's for the red mustang outside someone is bringing it around." She hands me a piece of paper. 'Put this address into the gps and that is the room number and the hotel room we are staying in." She hugs me and grabs her bag.

"How are you getting to the hotel?"

"My cab will be here in a few minutes. Go."

"Thanks Mom." I get in the Mustang and put in the address in. Christine also gave me a number to the house where Spencer was staying so I call ahead and talk to Julie to let her know im on the way.

I pull up to the house and my heart just stops beating as I watch Spencer kissing a guy on the porch. I stay in the car and the guy pulls away then Spencer sees me in the car as soon as or eyes meet I look down and rest my head on the steering wheel. This feeling right here is why I never wanted to fall in love.
