So this is the end. I know it has taken me forever to get this story done. I do apologize for that. Life just tends to get in the way. Anyway…I want to dedicate this story to a special friend of mines. Without her I wouldn't have been motivated to finish or even just update this story. So thank you googoo4u.
Spencer's POV
"Ugh you again." I can't help but to laugh when Jessica opens the room door and sees me on the other side. "Ashley's not here."
"Whoa," I put my foot in the door to stop her from closing it on me. "Can I just chill until she gets back."
Jessica sighs before pulling the door open and walking over to her bed in the little dorm room. "Fine," She yawns. "Just keep quite. I have a theory class in about an hour and I need all the rest I can get to put up with the bullshit the professor spits."
I silently laugh and flop down on Ashley's bed which is directly across for Jessica's. As Jessica starts to lightly snore, I take time to look around the room. I remember when they first moved into this dorm room. The walls were bare and they didn't bring much but their clothes, shoes, a mini fridge and a little stereo. They both agreed not to bring a T.V. Jessica has always been serious about school and she felt that they already had enough distractions and bring a T.V would just add to it. Ashley agreed with Jessica about letting their room actually be a place for rest and studying. Having friends over is cool but also making rules was important too.
They are in their last semester of their first year and both of them have been doing very well so far. They've made their room into their own. Posters and pictures take up most of the walls and there are just little things lying around that shows off their different personality. I like their dorm room. It has personality.
Ashley and Jessica were already pretty good friends before the move but now they are even closer. And I love that. I know I will be with Ashley for a long time and to know that one of my best friends is actually becoming her best friend makes it so much easier to continue to fall in love with everything about her.
Ashley has made more friends and has gotten more social. She still has the tendency to shy away from new people and things and she's still just a naturally quiet person but she is defiantly less afraid to speak up. I'm so proud of her.
"Stop," I slap at what I'm assuming is a hand patting my face. I hear a giggle and admittedly know who it belongs to. "Can't you see I'm trying to sleep?" I groan, turning my face away from her.
"Get up. You promised me lunch." Ashley slaps my butt and sits next to my lying form.
"Ugh…look lady I will feed you in about an hour. Can you just lay with me for a little, please?" Ashley gives me goofy grin and lies down next to me. She gives me a kiss on the cheek and I drift back off to sleep.
Ashley's POV
I can't believe I just completed my first year of college. It wasn't an easy year either. At first it was hard being around so many people and going to some classes and actually having to participate…meaning I had to talk. Not only talk but talk and discuss things in front of a large group of people. The first few weeks were rough. But after coming home in tears from having a panic attack, Jessica made it her mission to find ways to help me coop. We started doing little social exercise. Like every morning we would get up, grab breakfast and then go sit in the quad before our first class. And while we are sitting in the quad I had to smile at people that walked by and also greet at least three people good morning. We did that for about three months, along with some more social experiments. I had actually made a few friends that way. Jessica also made me accompany her to a couple of parties on and off of campus. I was sure to drag Spencer along with me.
Spencer.
I'm glad that she fought so hard for our relationship. Sometimes I think about what my life would be like if I stayed a mute, closed up in my house…If I never met Spencer Carlin.
She truly did flip my world upside down. She gave me back my words, my family, belief in people, friendship and love.
Our relationship has its ups and downs. This year alone has been a true testament of how crazy we both are but also how crazy in love we are.
Spencer and I didn't talk for a week after we got into a heated argument over this girl name Jenifer. Jen and I became study buddies after taking a biology class together. Spencer got jealous of the time I was spending with Jen. I tried to explain that it was for school and nothing more and that other people studied with us. But Spencer didn't want to hear nothing I had to say, so we blow up at each other. That was one of the longest weeks of my life. Eventually we got ourselves together and made up.
Now that we are no longer freshman's we can get a place off of campus. Jessica and I have both gotten part time jobs in the campus library. I'm excited because tomorrow, Jessica, Spencer and I will be moving into our new apartment. Jessica agreed to move in with us after we had a discussion about how the bills are going to be split. We agreed that it was only fair to split everything by three, even though Spencer and I will be sharing a room.
"Spencer…this is just ridiculous."I frown when I open her closet to see her closet hasn't been touched. Clothes are still hanging up and shoes and random things are piled on the floor.
Right now we are back in the city staying at Spencer's mom house. I came over to help Spencer finish packing. She is the biggest procrastinator I know. I thought I'd come over and maybe pack one or two small boxes. But by the looks of it I will be helping her pack basically everything.
"It'll only take two seconds." Spencer walks into the room with three big boxes. "Don't bother folding it or nothing….just through everything in the boxes."
"Spencer." I give her a stern look, putting my hands on my hips.
"Ashley." She mocks.
I roll my eyes in hopes that it'll help me fight off the smile that wants to grace my face. "What am I going to do with you?"
"Love me."
"Always."
