“Start anywhere you want.” I look at her, as I grip the bed ever so slightly.

“Okay.” I prepare myself. I close my eyes and then open them and stare at my hands. I don’t think I could look into her eyes when I tell her everything especially see in her green eyes see disappointment in them. I open my mouth and begin and I can hear her gasp when I get to the worst part. My voice has gone to a low whisper. I don’t tell her about drowning my tears and pain by drinking a bottle of tequila. What use is it now it would only have her pity me. Just reliving it brought tears to my eyes I wipe them away.

“That BITCH!!” She yells out as she shoots up from the bed. She’s pacing back and forth mumbling things in Spanish and the way she’s saying them I don’t think they’re anything good. I just watch her . I don’t if I expected her reaction to be this, but in a small way it touched something in me to know she cared. I ‘m sitting watching her as she’s still ranting, you’d almost think that it happened to her with the way she’s reacting. Strangely her watching her like this has brought an unexpected smile to my face.

“Madison.” She stops in midstride and looks at me.

“I’m sorry spence, I should be trying to console you not ranting my head off.” She shakes her head as she says this.

“It’s not about me though, I could of told you she was a…… their I go again”

“it’s not about you Madison.” She says maybe more to herself then she was to me.

“ You have nothing to be sorry about.” she walks towards me as I start to stand up.

“I don’t know, I wish you didn’t have to go through this. You deserve so much better then Davies. If she couldn’t realize what she had in you it’s her loss.”

I can feel the sincerity in her words and I can feel how heartfelt they are. She moves forward and engulfs me in her arms, filling me with her bodys warmth. I wrap my arms around her waist, leaning my head onto her shoulders, letting my body relax in her embrace.

“It’ll be okay spence.” she whispers into my ear. She tightens her hold for a few seconds then relaxes her hold on me. I felt safe in her arms . It’s a safety I’ve only really felt with Ashley, when I’ve had a hard day at home or at school. She’d wrap her arms around me and suddenly the world would disappear. It’s odd but comforting for me to feel it in someone else’s arms, someone that’s not Ashley. I feel it, that spark I felt earlier..and from the way her bodys stiffens I can tell she feels it too. I slowly lean my head away from her shoulder and look at her and move away from her. Her arms letting me go as mine reluctantly do the same.

“Madison.” I whisper maybe only saying for own benefit. I look at her and it was a like I was seeing her for the first time.

“Spencer.” She says just as lightly .

We merely look at each other not saying anything more. Our silence filling the room with unspoken words.

“Thanks for listening to me Madison, it means so much to me.” she smiles. We ignore what we obviously both feel.

“What are fiends for?” She shuffles her feet briefly and has her arms now behind her back clasping each other.

“ You can talk to me anytime Spence.” Her arms drop to her side and move to hold my hands in her grasp.

“I know.” I smile and I see she smiles back at me even bigger.

Present
