Chapter 9::
I had taken Spencer to my apartment so we could talk in private.
It had been silent the whole drive there and now that we had sat down on
my bed I couldn't contain myself anymore.
"What do you mean you know she's drugging you!?"
I stare at Spencer in a state of utter confusion.
How the hell could she just let her mom do this to her!?!?!
"I have to... she will hurt me if I don't."
"Not if I can help it!"
Spencer shakes her head.
I look down in defeat.
"No don't. She saw you drive away last night. If you ever come to our
house... she will do the same thing to you that she did to my dad."
My head snaps up at the words that just came out of her mouth.
"What did she do to your dad Spencer?"
Spencer looks down.
"She... did an overdose..."
"What the hell?! Spencer you are staying with me!"
"No I can't! If I go she will overdose Glenn. I can't let that happen."
"Fine. Be careful ok. But... How come when you have headaches you
don't remember me?"
"That is the effect of the drug..."
"Then how do you remember me?"
"I get a sharp pain in my lungs, and heart... and then my head hurts.
Next thing I know... I know you..."
"Wait... Spence... let me see you... Please?"
Spencer looks at me oddly.
I slowly take off Spencer's shirt.
Right by her right lung is a scar, as well as another right on her heart.
"Oh my God."
I reach out and touch the scars.
Spencer stiffens... They must still hurt.
"Ashley... What are you doing?"
"I... your scars... they are healing well."
"I know... it still hurts to breathe sometimes. But it doesn't hurt as
much.."
Spencer reaches for her shirt and puts it back on.
She then leans against the headboard.
I reach out and take her hand.
Immediately another flashback hits me.
It's so cold...
The heart monitor is barely beeping.
"Come on Spence... You can't do this to me... to us. fight it... please...
you are my choice!! Do you here me!?! Your my choice!!"
I lean over and kiss her on the lips.
She stirs and looks at me for a split second... then her eyes close and
the monitor begins flat lining.
"Ashley?!? Are you ok?"
I shake my head and begin to sob. Spencer pulls me into a hug.
I begin to cry uncontrollably. She can't leave me... ever again..
I hold her tighter. She kisses the top of my head and begins to rock me
back and forth, trying to soothe me.
We soon fall asleep in the other's arms with her head on mine. Just like
it should be.
