Chapter 10

Ashley

Last night wasn't what I wanted, I just wanted us to be civil. I sipped at my coffee, as I read through trashy magazines that Kyla always leaves here. I don't know why she leaves them here. I looked through them, and wonder why I have sued this stupid magazine. They post the correct story, I guess that's how they make there money.

"Well hello my favourite sister" I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want?" I didn't bother to look up at her.

"Nothing, just checking to see how you are doing" I shrugged.

"I got an interesting call today" I turned the page while taking another sip of my coffee.

"Oh ya?"

"From your mother" I almost spit out my coffee.

"Why the fuck is she calling you?"

"She wanted your number"

"Did you give her it?" I didn't bother to ask why she wanted it, I honestly don't fucking care.

"No" I nodded and went back to my coffee.

"good"

Kyla walk over grabbing her self some coffee, taking a seat across from me. I looked over and she was staring at me.

"What?"

"I saw Spencer was here last night" I nodded.

"And?"

"We had dinner together, talked, and then she left"

"Well I'm glad your talking again, this is a good thing!" She smiled, she really wanted us to work out.

"No, she is mad at me again. Speaking of which I need you to call her and..."

"No! I will not be the person in the middle again! You two can talk civil for your child" I put my cup in the sink, turning to look at my now furious sister.

"Kyla, I told her something and she will never talk to me again. We tried to be civil, we just can't"

"Then meet up, yell out everything you can to each over and move on. This is becoming ridiculous. Riley deserves better"

"Kyla Its not that simple"

"Make it, because you both are acting like fucking babies! High school is over, so grow up and start acting like an adult!" Then she left.

Why is everyone slamming doors around here. My sister was right in a way, we should be acting more like adults. Its hard when Spencer and I have hurt each other in ways we can never take back. My phone buzzed. Spencer.

Can you pick Riley up at my parents house? I am stuck in a meeting.

I'll head over now.

Thanks, can you bring her to my office. I should be done by the time you get here.

Yes.

It frustrated me a little that she didn't just ask me to take Riley for the night, but I guess she hasn't spent time with her since I had her. I looked at my keys, trying to figure out what one to take. Just then my phone buzzed.

No Bike!

I grabbed my car keys, Spencer hated the fact Riley getting hurt on my bike. I was a good driver, but she was always scared. I remember when I did a wheelie with Spencer on it, she didn't talk to me for a whole day. I laughed at the memory, starting my car as I drove towards the Carlin's. It wasn't going to take me long, we all lived pretty close to each other. I guess that's the way we wanted it. Our house that now Spencer lives in was right in the middle between the Carlin's and the beach house. Spencer never wanted to be too far away from home.

I pulled into the driveway, and looked up at the house I spent most of my teen years living at. I use to have sleep overs with Spencer, then when her parents found out about us I had to sleep in the spare bedroom. Eventually they allowed me to make it my own room, because I basically lived with them. My parents never cared to know where I was, and the Carlin's hated that. I remember Paula even went to a teacher parent night for me, and Arthur use to help me with my homework. I got out of my car and went up to the door, I guess I should knock. So I did.

"Ashley, its about time you come back home" I smiled, gave Paula a hug.

"Hey Paula, Spencer wanted me to pick Riley up" She nodded.

"Yes she called, Riley and Arthur went for Ice cream so I guess you and I could hang for a bit till they get back" I looked at her weird.

"Paula did you say 'hang'?"

"Ya I'm you know cool now" I laughed.

"I need to spend more time with grown ups, instead of Riley" I sat down at the table, and looked around. It was all still the same, nothing has changed.

"Ashley I think its time you and I have a talk" I looked at Paula, and nodded. I knew this talk was coming.
