Thank you for all the wonderful reviews. This is a rather small chapter and I'm sorry for that but it's meant to be a filler. Enjoy.
So here I am in bed on a Sunday afternoon with nothing to do except wait for tomorrow. Friday night was still very fresh in my mind. I bet I could even write the entire conversation with her on paper on not miss a word which was odd because they say the more you remember the more you forget. Maybe I was forgetting and not noticing. Whatever it was I didn't want to think about it at the moment. I had gotten back just in time for the bands last song and Aiden jumped off stage to only pull me into a very strange embrace. All I understood was thank you for watching the entire thing and right then my body dripped with guilt instead of sweat, but I refused to let him know what had happened tonight. That little piece in my existence was just between me her and the stars. Nothing else.
I decided that yesterday I'd venture out and buy a radio, which also came with a CD player to my luck. I was scared about turning it on yesterday, but since there really wasn't anything to do at the moment why not. After a bunch of scary static I could finally hear a voice loud and clear. I figured if I could enlighten myself with music I could win that brunette bombshell over and be happy for once.
A gentle voice began filling my room. "Little did I know that you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles and my daddy said stay away from Juliet. And I was crying on the staircase begging you please don't go! And I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting all that's left to do is run you'll be the prince and I'll be the princess it's a love story baby just say yes!"
I decided to write some lines down and memorize them. I even managed to get the song name and the artist as well. Taylor Swift by Love Story. That's such an odd name for a song… Taylor swift… hmm.
The song had given me a headache so I decided to knock back some Tylenol PM and let that familiar feeling take over my body as I drifted off to sleep until the very next day.
"So did you really like the show? I thought you left because I didn't see you for a while so I got worried you didn't like it that much." The tall boy put his right hand on his neck. Why is he rambling like this?
Just eat your apple Spencer. Gives you time to come up with a lie.
"Yeah… I stayed for the entire thing, but I found a spot to sit so that's why you probably didn't see me."
He smiled at me and then we both just stared at each other for a while. It was a very weird yet calming moment as our minds probably drifted away from one another.
"Well Aid I didn't know you had a girlfriend."
That voice.
I looked up and there was that coke giving bartender who drugged me up.
"Madison. This is Spencer." He pointed at me, but she was already staring.
"We've met." I gave her my best angry stare only to have her laugh at me once again.
"So I'm guessing you didn't really like meeting Jack ay?"
Aiden just stared at us confused while I hugged my chest trying not to stare into the brown orbs digging holes in my face.
"Guess not. Well." She turned her attention back to Aiden who was too stupid to function right now. "You were the best part of that show on Friday. I swear if you weren't drumming for them the bar would have been empty."
As they continued talking my trained eyes found that person occupying the space between my ears every waking and non waking second. Call it obsessive I call it poetry.
Oh no. She's walking over here. She couldn't have remembered me. No way.
"Ashley!"
What. I turned to face the girl that drugged me as the brunette made her way to the girl with ease in every step. As if worries didn't exist in her world, just cigarettes and music.
"I need cigarettes."
"Right. You always need them."
"Sup Aiden."
WHAT!?!? They know each other! And her name is Ashley. Such a beautiful name. I didn't expect less.
After a while I noticed I was just a ghost watching their conversation and Ashley hadn't even noticed me, which was fine since now I can let her name roll right off my tongue.
"So I'm gonna go get some cigarettes. Later." She hugged Aiden and Madison good bye.
Then that's when it happened. Her eyes made their way to mine and I felt in that one second that she would realize who I was and grab me to the closest store which held her heavy addiction. I saw stars, which only ended up turning to dust and she walked right past me without a single word.
"Sorry about that. My cousin is oblivious to everything. She probably thought you were a tree or something." I smiled and nodded while Aiden louder than usual. I just turned and watch as she walked farther and farther away from me.
"So Aiden I'm doing a bon fire tomorrow night. Feel free to bring Spencer along." After a wink she walked away, but not before turning back around and rubbing her accomplishment in my face again. "Oh and Spencer! Jack will be there and since I already introduced you guys I hope you get to know him more."
That brought out a little smile in me. I got invited to something that Ashley might take part in. That all equals me being less than 5 ft away from her again. Oh man am I happy.
"So this Jack guy. Do you like him or something?"
I sighed. Because that was just a stupid question and I was too happy to speak.
Then I asked something I never pictured myself asking in my life. "So are we going to the thing she invited us to?" I Spencer Carlin wanted to go to a college social event without even being tortured to say yes to.
He smiled and nodded while following me to my next class. Sometimes it felt like her saw me as more than a nerdy thing walking around campus. Honestly I didn't like it.
Ashley. Hmm I want to say it out loud already.
