"Jesus! Spencer, slow down!" Madison yells from behind me.
I dropped my bag by the stairs and zoomed into the kitchen.
"Ahh!" I grab my phone from the counter and immediately dial Ashley's number. I miss her voice. I forgot what it sounds like. Ok, I'm exaggerating but.. you know what I'm saying. I'm practically vibrating. I'm so excited!
"My dearest daughter never defy me again or I will keep you locked up in the dungeon. Tell Ashley hello for me and enjoy the brownies." Madison read the note my mom left me and took a brownie from the plate. "Yum!"
If you haven't already figured it out, I'm finally off the longest punishment of my life. Now I have the phone attached to my ear waiting for Ashley to pick up her damn phone. Listen, the phone is going on three rings now. I expect her to pick up on the first fucking ring! Shit, show me some excitement. Ahh!
"Baby!" I practically yell when Ashley picks up the phone.
"Hey baby!" Ashley finally picks up out of breath.
"I'm a free woman! I missed you so much."
"Finally.. I missed you too..." I can hear Ashley making a lot of noise in the background like she's running or something.
"So how you..." The rest of my sentence died when I heard Ashley say oh my god and then starts moving again. I knit my eyebrows together trying to get my super hearing powers to work.
"Sorry, what did you say?" She asks suppressing a laugh.
"Um.." The smile on my face disappears. This is not how envisioned this conversation. "I asked you how you're doing." I say with all the enthusiasm gone form my voice.
My eyes catch Madison and she's looking at me asking me what's wrong. I rolled my eyes and picked at a brownie.
"I'm good baby." She says. I heard a muffled stop and more laughing in the background. It was like Ashley tried to cover the phone and failed. "Sorry, can I call you later?"
Well isn't this great. "Yeah. Sure." I say not even hiding the disappointment in my voice.
"Ok, I love you." Ashley says not picking up on my tone of voice and here I thought she knew what I was feeling at all times.
"Yeah, I love you too." I say and hung up the phone right after I said it. Emphasize on the word too.
What the fuck was that? Tell me I'm not being crazy here but did Ashley just rush me off the phone?
I threw my phone on the table not even caring where it landed and grabbed a brownie.
I changed my mind quickly and threw it back on the plate.
If you can't already tell, I'm really mad right now.
"Ugh!" I turn around and went upstairs, stomping the entire way might I add, leaving Madison in the kitchen calling after me.
I threw myself on my bed and put a pillow over my face.
I know I'm over reacting but I don't even care. I miss Ashley so much. That punishment was hell and now that I get a chance to actually speak to her it's like she could care less.
"Ugh!" I say into the pillow.
"Um, what the fuck?" I hear my friend say when she enters my room. I don't even have to look at her face to know she's confused. I peaked from the side of the pillow and I was right she has one eyebrow up waiting for me to explain. "Are you about to turn into the Hulk? Should I leave?" Madison asks as I felt the bed shift and she took a seat at then end of it.
"Blah.." I say taking the pillow off my face.
"What happen? You were so excited to talk to Ash."
"Yeah well she's too busy for me and I'm not there so I guess I have to come second to whatevers going on.."
"Spencer, shut up you know it's not even like that."
"Yeah? Were you the one that just got rushed off the phone just now? No... Yeah I didn't think so." I got off the bed and started taking my clothes off. I quickly change into something more comfortable and got back in bed. Fuck life.
"Ugh.. Madison you're my best friend. Cheer me up!" I whine to my friend who is busy texting away on her phone.
"Here, that's why I brought you these brownies." She slides the plate closer to me as her other hand frantically types a reply.
"I don't want no damn brownies hoe! I want my girlfriend!"
Madison starts laughing hysterically and for some reason I know it wasn't because of what I said. I know I'm funny but I'm not that funny. And of course I'm right because now she's typing a reply back.
I guess It's national ignore Spencer Day.
Yay!
"You're the worst friend ever."
"Sorry.. Katie was just telling me how Emily and Ash spied on her date and how Emily made a big scene and scared her date."
Oh shit, that reminds me.
"I didn't know you and Katie still talk."
Madison shifts from where she was sitting and it would have gone unnoticed to the untrained eye but I've known this girl my whole life. All of a sudden I got nervous for her... and for Jade.
"I'm gonna ask you something.. and don't you dare lie to me Mads." I tell her and she looks away from me. This can't be good. "What happen that night when you stayed at Katie's house?"
Madison looks back at me with sad eyes then looks down for a second and that's all I needed, to like know what happened that night.
"Oh my God, how could you do that to Jay?" I ask her calmly.
"I know. It was a stupid mistake that I wish I can take back. We were drunk and having a really good time and then it just kinda happened." She tells me with a shrug.
"Holy shit..." I breathe out. This isn't going to end well, I can already see it.
Jade already suspects something.
A woman's intuition is a motherfucker. Like right now, my intuition is telling me that something is going on with Ashley, I just can't figure out what. But let's get back to Madison and Jade here.
"What about Jade? I'm assuming you didn't tell her.."
"You know I lover her. I'm scared that when I tell her she'll break up with me.." my friend says. I have never seen her this vulnerable before.
"Then why are you still texting Katie, Mads?" I ask her and she just shakes her head. "You know that eventually the truth will come out and when Jade finds out that even after that shit went down you stayed in contact with her, she's gonna flip even more." I explain to my friend. Her and Jade really are meant for each other and it kinda sucks that Madison would jeopardize what she has with Jade for one night with another chick, I mean come on... My bitch all the way across the country but you don't see me going out and fucking random hoes.
"I know." She nods and stands up. "What should I do?" She asks me and I just shake my head. I have no idea what to do in this situation. I've never cheated on anyone.
"I guess, if I were in Jade's shoes, I'd want to hear it from you sooner rather than later." I offer.
"You're right." She nods. "What if I lose her Spence?" Madison asks, taking a seat next to me on the bed. Honestly, this is a side of Madison I have never seen before, believe it or not. She's never this vulnerable around me and we've been friends for like...forever.
"Then that's something that you'll have to deal with if it comes to that. But not telling her is worse than anything else you could do, you know?" I asks and she nods in agreement.
"Maybe you should come too." She tells me and I give her a face. I don't know how close I want to be to Jade when she finds out that Madison slept with someone else. She can be violent. And she plays sports so...
"Um..." I cough out.
"Don't be a pussy, I need you here Spence." Madison says and I roll my eyes at her. The nerve of her to make me feel guilty when she's the one that screwed up.
"Fine. But I'm not going to her house to do it." I tell her.
"Yeah." Madison agrees. "Maybe we should go somewhere public where she can't like make a scene." Madison suggest and I shrug. I change back into some clothes and we head out to pick up Jade. We text Taylor and Gabrielle and tell them to meet us at the mall. I really hope that Jade doesn't go ape shit on Madison.
