Everybody has their own personal shit to deal with, bad or worse; it feels the same to that one person that has to go through it. 

A loud clap of thunder brings me out of my daze, shortly followed by a ringing through the air.

I pick my phone up and smile slightly at the caller I.D. With my smile you would think it would be Spencer right? She won’t be phoning me anytime soon.

“I don’t know why you have to.”

“Because he is still my boyfriend Ashley, which means I have to go out with him every now and again.” She sighed, like I was being unreasonable or something.

“Then why is he still your boyfriend? God it is completely pointless you still being with him.”

“You know I still have to be with him.”

“Why Spence? You break up with him boo-hoo end of the world? It doesn’t mean that people will suddenly find out about us just because you’re on his shoulder. I’m not asking you to announce us, I’m just asking for you all to myself and I don’t care how selfish that sounds.”

Her eyes soften a bit. I mean really am I asking for that much? “I’m sorry.”

“I know that Spence. I just can’t help but be needy, I’ve waiting too fucking long to have you and now that I have I don’t want anyone in the way of it.” I took her hand and played with the ring on her middle finger. I liked my reward for that. “I can’t help but fall in love with you that little bit more when it’s just us.” I practically whisper that.

“I love you too, you know that.” I thought about swooning until she did a sad sigh then my stomach dropped. “But I still have to be with him. For now anyway. It seems a bit dodgy if I dump him as soon as you come into the picture.”

Is. She. For. Fucking. Real? I dropped her hand in anger. “Yeah? And how the hell do you think he is going to feel when he realises you’re stringing him along. He was one of my best friends when we were younger and now all you’re doing is using him to make yourself look better.” I sneered and walked off without a glance back.
