Ashley POV

“So… Ashley’s how are things going with you and Spencer? I know she moved in with her mom. You guys usually spend every night together. Things are probably weird now that you guys can’t do that anymore.” My mom says trying to make conversation. We’re still not talking about my past… our past, but we are trying to talk. Right now my mom, Shane and I are sitting in the dinning room having dinner.

“Good. We still see each other during the day and she’s only been away for two days.” I say. Spencer moved in with her mom two days ago. Two days after telling me she was thinking about it.

“Lovely.” Shane says. “Can I be excused now?” He says wiping his mouth with his napkin.

“Yeah, sure sweetie.” My mom says giving him a warm smile.  Shane waste no time collecting his plate, dropping it off in the kitchen sink, before going to his room.

“So your relationship with Spencer… seems more serious then the one you had with Brooke.” My mom says after a couple of minutes. I just look up at her so not ready to tackle this subject.

“Lets not.” I say taking a sip of my water.

“Not what Ashley.” My mom says playing the confused role, when she knows perfectly well that I wish not to talk about that time in my life at the moment.

“Talk about the past. Talk about my life back then. Not now.”

“Why, not now? We have to talk about it sooner or later. You just can’t ignore it.”When she speaks that last sentence my head eyes are quick to look up from my plate to meet hers.

“We can’t ignore it. You mean like you ignored me?” I say pushing my chair away from the table. “I’m not ready to hear your lies or are what you believe is the truth as to why you choose to ignore my cries for help.” I stand up. “You lived without addressing it for so long, a little while longer want hurt.” I exit the room after that.

“She just pisses me off.” I tell Spencer over the phone. I just got done telling her about what happen with my mom.
