It’s been a week since I had that dream and sleep doesn’t come easily for me anymore. I’m too afraid to relive those moments.

* RING * * RING *

“Spencer! Your phone is freaking out!” Aiden says from the bedroom.

“I got it!” yelling from the bathroom to the kitchen to where my phone is. My face lights up at the name, ‘Ashley’.

“What was that ringtone” Aiden asks from the bedroom and I tell him something about Ash changing my ringtone when I saw here the other day. She sent me a text asking if I wanted to hang. I was gonna just lay around today but what the hell, I tell her to meet me near the park in an hour. Aiden goes back to playing on his laptop and I get another message confirming that she would meet me so I jump up asking Aiden to go for a walk with me. He agrees of course because I give him ‘the face’ and after a quick change we are out the door.

On the way I bumped into a colleague and I really didn’t mean to get caught up in conversation but we did and shortly after Ash made her way over to us giving me and Aiden hardly no time to spent alone. After he gave some lame excuse Aiden headed back to the apartment and sent us on our way. I turned to him once before I reached where Ashley was waiting for me and he looked almost sad, depressed even.
…………………..

Spencer’s cell rings. “What could you possibly want now, I just left you not 10 minutes ago” she answers sarcastically.

"I just wanted to make sure you made it home okay…and to hear your voice. I sleep better when you’re the last thing I hear.”

“Well I’m glad to hear that but I’m standing at my door as we speak so I will talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight hun.”

“Later babe.”

She walks into the apartment and nothing seems to be moving. The apartment almost seemed stale. It’s dark and quiet save for the faint sound coming from Aiden’s office. Calling out was no use so Spencer just walked to the door and picks up her hand to knock…

Love just got so complicated
Wish that I could see her smile again
So if you see her out there, tell her I’m still here
Waiting for the day when she will reappear
