I felt my whole body tense up as her icy blue eyes locked with mine. "Ash-" I mumbled out as the panic rose.
"Ash, go! She saw me!" I yelled causing her to slam her foot on the gas. I watched as my mom pointed at our car and the cops raced to their car. She can't take me. I promised Ashley. I could feel the tears stream down my face as I reached for my pills and popped two.
"You said you wouldn't." She said quietly as she tried to drive away as fast as we could.
I glanced at her with shame, "I'm sorry. No more for today."
"It doesn't matter, you already did it."
I wiped my tears away as I nodded. "Ashley, the cops are chasing us along with my mother. I can't handle you being mad at me too." I whispered as my heart hurt.
She sighed as she reached for my hand and laced our fingers. "Baby, I'm not mad. I'm just worried about you."
"I'll be fine just—" Before I could finish my sentence I was being slammed into the dashboard. A cop had cut us off and Ashley had slammed on her breaks and spun us off the road to avoid hitting him. We slammed into a ditch and I could feel myself flying forward towards the windshield but a pair of arms grasped me and yanked me back. Everything happened so fast that I wasn't sure exactly what had happened.
I placed a hand to my forehead as I felt blood trickle down. "Oh god." I mumbled as the pain began to sink in. "Ash, are you okay?" I asked as I tried to get the blood to stop. She didn't say anything so I turned to her, "Ash?"
Her body was lifeless as her head was laying against the smashed driver's window. She had busted her lip and she had blood coming down from her hair where I'm assuming she hit her head. God, please don't let her be dead. I placed my fingers on her wrist and felt a light pulse. I burst into sobs as I lightly shook her.
"Baby, please wake up." No response. I wanted to die. "Please, please, please. I need you!" I screamed causing her eyes to flutter. She groaned as she rubbed her head.
"Oh thank you god!" I cried out before pulling her into my arms. I felt something grab my arms and yank me back.
"No! Ashley!" I screamed as the cop's drug me out of the car. She tried to grab me as fast as she could but it was too late. They had already handcuffed her.
"Honey, we're going home now." My mother said as she walked up to me. "Everything's going to be okay."
"Are you fucking kidding me? You almost got me killed! Nothing is ever going to be okay." I screamed as the tears poured from my eyes. I could feel my heart breaking into two.
"This 'thing' you have with her will pass honey. I'll get you help." She said as she tried to touch my shoulder but I shrugged her off.
"It's not a thing, mom! I love her! And I don't need or want your help." I yelled again before glancing at Ashley. They were trying to get her into the cop car but she was resisting. The blood was smeared across her forehead and her mascara was running down her cheeks with her tears. How was I supposed to go three weeks without her? I can't handle a day without her let alone that much time.
"I love you, Ashley." I yelled causing more tears to spill from both of us.
"It's going to be okay, Spence." I needed to hear her say it. What if I never got to hear it again?
"Say it!" She knew why I wanted her to say it and she shook her head furiously.
"I will when I see you again."
"Ashley, please." I begged her as they shoved her in the car. My mom huffed as she grabbed my arm and yanked me towards the care but I kept my eyes on Ashley.
"I love you too baby." She replied with hurt in her voice. I cried silently as my mother dragged me towards her car.
"I hate you." I whispered to her as we drove back to my former home.
"I know you don't mean that, Spencer. You're just upset right now but you will thank me later."
Rage boiled in my body and I had never been so angry in my entire life. "Thank you for what? For ruining my life by taking away the one thing I love? For making feel like the scum of your shoe because of my love for a girl? I will NEVER thank you. Hell, I don't I will ever forgive you."
"We'll finish this conversation at home. Obviously you can't talk reasonably right now."
I shake my head at the stupidity. I have never wanted to punch anyone in the face more than I do right now, and she's my mother.
As soon as we got to the house I bolted inside and ran straight into my dad who wrapped his arms around me.
"Whoa, honey. Why are you in such a rush?" He has asked he pulled me back to look at me. "Spencer, what happened to your head?"
"I hate her dad. She's trying to take everything away from me!" I screamed out as I held onto him to protect myself from her.
"Who is?"
"Mom!" About that time my mother had walked in and was shaking her head.
"I didn't do anything, Arthur. She's over reacting."
"Dad I love her and mom took me away from her!" I cried as I pressed my face into his chest. He held me as he tried to sooth me.
"You're going to have to slow down and explain to me what you are talking about."
"Ashley. Daddy, I love her. I'm in love with her and mom took me away from her and forbid me to see her. She had the cops after us and we almost died cus they caused us to wreck." I rambled out as I kept trying to calm myself down but it wasn't working. I needed my Xanax, bad.
"You're in love with Ashley?" I pulled back and looked at him before nodding slowly.
"Then what's the problem, Paula?"
I saw the anger in her eyes when she realized my dad was on my side. "It's just not right Arthur!"
He looked at me with sympathy. "Spence, go to your room. I need to talk to your mom."
I nodded before walking upstairs and past clay's bedroom and then Glen's. Glen's door was open so I peered in and received a glare.
"Why in the hell can't you be normal? We wouldn't be having to listen to them fight."
"I'm sorry." I whispered before running to my room and slamming my door. I jumped into my bed and sobbed into my pillows. My body ached and my heart was hurting. I felt my phone vibrate and realized that I still had my phone. I could still talk to her. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw that I had one message from Ashley.
Baby, if you have your phone then please text me. I need to know you're okay. I love you with everything I have. If Paula took this phone then rot in hell.
I quickly text her telling her to call me and within seconds my phone was going off. I hit answer and pressed the phone to my ear and could hear soft breathing on the other end.
"I love you." I whispered as I wiped the continuous tears off my face.
"I love you too." She whispered back huskily. The sound of her voice soothed me. I needed her touch as well.
"I can't do this without you." I glanced at the drawer that contained the scissors that I cut myself with.
"Don't even think about it, Spencer. I'm going to get you back. Some way or another, I will. Don't lose faith in me." I sighed as I nodded in response even though she couldn't hear me.
I heard footsteps coming up the stairs causing me to panic. "Baby, I have to go. Love you."
She knew what was going on and told me she loved me too before I hung up. I should the phone in my pillowcase before lying on my back.
There was a soft knock before my dad stepped in my room and sat on the bed next to me. "How are you, sweetie."
"Miserable." I replied as I sniffled.
"I'm so sorry I didn't know what was going on. I've been so caught up in work. You know, your mom told me you were at church camp and that's why you haven't been at home. I didn't even take time to think that you're still in school and that you wouldn't be at camp." He shook his head as he looked at the floor.
"Daddy it's okay."
"It's not okay, Spencer. You shouldn't have to run away from your home." I could tell he was angry at himself and my mom. Was he mad at me?
"Do you hate me?"
He looked up at me and frowned, "Why would I hate you?"
"Because I love a girl."
"I love you unconditionally. You can't help who you love." He rubbed my cheek with his thumb before pulling me into a hug.
"But mom hates me." I whispered.
"She doesn't hate you. She just- confused. Give her time, I won't let her treat you like that again."
"Thanks daddy."
"You're welcome sweetie. You know if you ever need to talk, I'm right here." I nodded before placing a kiss on his cheek. I laid back down on the bed before closing my eyes. I was more tired than I realized.
I woke up to a tap on my window. It sounded like a rock was being thrown at it. It couldn't be her. I jumped up and ran to the window to see that beautiful face looking up at me. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw me. She lifted up a sign, causing me to squint to read it.
'We're running!' I knew she'd rescue me. I grabbed my cellphone out from my pillow case before sneaking out of my room. When I went to walk past Glen's bedroom he opened the door.
"What are you doing?" He whispered harshly. I think he could tell I was terrified and the expression on his face softened.
"I'm leaving. Please don't tell, Glen." I could tell he was contemplating it. He gave me a soft nod before shutting his door. I tip toed down the stairs and saw my dad sitting at the kitchen table with his head in his hands. I hate doing this to him but I know I have to. I opened the front door before slowly exiting it.
I took off down the drive way and leaped into Ashley's arms. I wrapped my legs around her waist and she easily held me up as she placed kiss on my neck. I leaned back before pressing my lips against hers.
"I missed those lips." I mumbled against her. "But we have to go before they realize I'm gone."
She nodded as I unwrapped my legs and let go of her. I looked at her lambo and shook my head at her. "You would already have a different car."
"Yeah and we better hurry up and get in it before your mom has me wrecking another car." She said with a small smile before opening my door for me. I hurriedly got in and put my seatbelt on as Ashley got in and started it. We took off quickly escaping the danger zone.
"Where are we going?" I asked as I grabbed her hand and put in in my lap before lacing our fingers.
"Wherever this road takes us."
I nodded silently, as I looked out the window." I was really scared today when I saw your body lying there lifeless. I thought I'd never get to kiss those lips of yours again." I whispered causing her to squeeze my thigh.
"I'm not going anywhere. Like I told you, have faith in me."
I looked over and she gave me her Davies smile that melts my heart. I pulled her hand up and pressed my lips against it. "Why don't you rest, we'll be at a hotel soon." I nod before raising the center console. I scoot over and lay my head on her lap, causing her to run her fingers through my hair.
"It's gonna be okay."
After getting to the hotel we each took a turn in the shower. After I got out I went and sat down next to her. She had packed us some clothes so I changed into the pajamas she got for me. She grabbed my hand and sat me down in front of her as she ran a brush through my wet hair.
I leaned back into the front of her and closed my eyes. "I want to live this moment forever." I whispered peacefully.
She placed a kiss on my neck as she agreed. The sensation felt so good. I wanted more.
I turned around and laid myself on the bed before pulling her on top of me. I pressed my lips against hers and fell into a familiar rhythm.
Her right hand was placed on my hip as she ran circles into my hip. Her tongue slid into my mouth causing our tongues to swirl together. I couldn't get enough of her.
"Baby," I whispered causing her to stop.
"Yeah?
"Touch me." She froze as she looked me in the eyes with a little worry.
"Are you sure?"
"Ashley, I want you to touch me."
Sorry I shouldn't have cut off the best part! Don't hate me! I've come to realize I don't need a bunch of reviews for my story. I'm doing this story for me and I'm just glad I helped at least one person out.
