Ashley couldn’t sleep. Nothing helped. Watching tv didn’t help, eating didn’t help, and laying in bed with her eyes closed only made it worse. She rolled over and layed her head on Courtney’s chest listening to her heart beat. That definetly made it worse.

Kyla had a heartbeat once.

She closed her eyes and tried to think of something else. Guns, knives, that kid in the basement, dogs..

Kyla used to have dogs.

Ashley groaned and pulled a pillow to her body. She felt the cold through her thin nightshirt.

Ashley: "Kyla.."

Courtney: "Ash shut up."

Ashley: "go to hell."

The brunette got up and pulled on a pair of jeans and some black tennis shoes.

Courtney: "Gonna walk off some of that fat on your ass?"

Ashley slammed the door on the way out. She didn’t know where she was gonna go at 1 in the morning, but she had to get out of there.

Over at Spencer’s Place…

Everyone was gone. Madison and Aiden left Spencer to go to Arnold’s house. Spencer didn’t want to go, it was to sad to see people huddled around and crying on each other. She didn’t want to remeber Kyla that way.So instead of going to the after funeral, she stayed in and slept. Unpleasent dreams made her body twitch and jerk at times, but then the bad dream would go away when she woke up briefly and went back into slumberland. Each time picking up a diffrent scenario on how she could’ve saved her family, and now a new member was added, Kyla was in the mix every now and then. She decided to call it quits when her brothers were hit by a speeding bus when she finally freed them from a pack of pitbulls. Spencer sat up in her bed and looked over at the clock, 1 AM. Never to early to start a day on the street..

She got up and went downstairs. Who did she see?

Spencer: "Ashley?"

Ashley was standing in front of the door.

Ashley: "Sorry I-"

Spencer: "What are you doing here?"

Ashley: "I..I didn’t-"

Spencer: "I didn’t lock the door. Fuck, you know what? Just get out!"

Ashley: "No Spence please-"

Spencer: "What is it this time Ash? Courtney not home again? Free and Natasha scaring you? You by yourself?"
