I had one thought in my head when I heard that voice and it wasn’t a good one. Why would she be here and at like eleven at night. Ashley backed away quicker then I have ever see her move, it must be the guilt of what happened. My mother said she would always hurt me and she wasn’t wrong, mothers rarely are.

“Mom, what are you doing here it’s called a phone?” I said standing in between her and Ashley.

“Nice to see you to Spencer!” she id rolling her eyes at Ashley and coming to me hugging me   

“Sorry it’s just weird seeing you all the way here this late unannounced!” are hug ended and I felt the tension in the room, not only my mother and me but Ashley and me plus my moms presence didn’t help.

“I had a conference in New York so I decided to stop in on you see how you were!” her smile on her face when she talked told me something different

“Oh you mean like snooping around my life, I thought we were over this?” I said shaking my head at her and turning to Ashley

“Spencer it’s different I just wanted to see you is all. I know it is out of the way but I just figured you would want to see me too!” oh she is so good at the guilt thing I swear her and Ashley have more in common then they think.

“I do mom trust me I do miss you and dad, but it would just be nice for a phone call is all I’m saying!” I was standing by Ashley now I just happened to move in her direction

“Hi Ashley nice to see you are still around!” my mom said to Ashley in her bitchy tone but with a big smile like she meant nothing by it

“Oh hi Mrs. C yeah I’m still here always gonna be so!” Ashley said back to her in her cocky tone with a smile, they are never going to change.

It was an awkward moment of silence, I wanted to spend time with my mom but it was late and I definitely wanted Ashley to stay here so I felt like I was in a predicament. Should I ask my mom to leave or tell Ashley I would call her?
