I woke up to the radio blaring Smells Like Teen Spirit. I picked up the white and purple clock on the bedside table. Uhg, it was almost midnight. I strained against the arms wrapped tightly around my waist to set it safely back on the dresser. I tried to untangle myself from the young girl that was desperately holding on to me.

“Baby, baby?” I nudged her a little bit.

“Don’t go…” She mumbled.

“Baby, I’m just turning the radio off.”

“Come back?” I kissed lightly on the lips before her arms fell away.

MOTHER! I didn’t even bother moving my face out of the pillow. My hand reached into my back pocket, pulling out my cell.

“What the hell do you want you demon caller?” I grumbled.

“Ashley?”

“Jake?… Why the hell are you calling me at…” I looked at the clock. “MIDNIGHT?” a What the hell! The radio was back on! I just wanna sleep!

“Ash, what goin’ on?” Ooopps… Volume level needs some adjusting.

“Are you in bed with a girl?” Jake smirked into the phone. Yes, his smirk has a tone. I moved the phone away from my mouth.

“Go back to bed Sp- babe.” She wasn’t out yet.

“M’kay.” Well, that was easily refreshing.

“Ash, there’s this awesome party down at the docks. We’re-“

“I’m not going.”

“Come on Ash?”

“I don’t want to go Jake!” I growled into the receiver.

“But-“

“No!” I hung up, throwing the phone to the ground and collapsing on Spencer’s bed.

“What’s wrong Ashey?” Spencer ran her fingers up and down my arm. I shivered and brushed her hand off.

“Nothing Spencer!” I shouted a bit. “It’s, it’s nothing. I just don’t want to go… I’m tired.”

“If you don’t want to go because of me, I don’t mind. The docks sound cool-“

”No, they’re not.” I seethed. I tried to just focus on the possessed radio that just wouldn’t shut off. Had a bad day, don’t talk to me/gonna ride this out, My back was faced towards her and when Spencer’s hand touched my back I jumped so bad, I almost fell of the bed. “What the hell Spencer?” My breathing was a little irregular and I was trying to prevent the cold sweat, that was already breaking out, from become worse. Blue eyes looked at me with confusion.
