Chapter Three (A promise is a promise)

　

I don’t even know how I made it to sleep last night. To be honest, I really didn’t. Her words, her smile, her tears, the way she looked at her brothers picture, couldn’t and wouldn’t leave my swarming mind. Not only my mind but the slightly stinging scars that tingled every time I thought of them or that night. I also don’t know why I’m going to school today, to be honest there isn’t anyone at home to stop me form staying home. Nevertheless, here I am, parking my car in my assigned spot, putting a pencil in my pocket, and grabbing my notebook.

I nod at a few people, while I’m trying to search for Chelsea. I still need my portfolio. I’m scanning the parking lot but I don’t see her so I make my way to the quad. While walking towards the steps I spot Aiden ride up on his bike with a girl on the back. A girl that looks like Ashley. Ashley and Aiden. Together. In the morning. I’m drawing my conclusions when I spot Kyla, and she sends me a wave that doesn’t seem to be as happy as it could be. Kyla is walking with Spencer, who has yet to notice me. I look from one group to the other. And then again.

The conclusion isn’t hard to come to, and as I see Spencer look at Kyla and then to Ashley, I can tell she has figured it out. I watch as her and Kyla exchange a quick and frustrated moment. Spencer storms off towards Ashley and Kyla looks at no one in particular. She looks almost completely defeated, as she carefully follows the blond . I slowly look away from the brunette and look towards the plane crash disaster that this is going to be. What the hell is Ashley doing. And with Aiden. I cant seem to bring myself to look away or to not listen in. Which isn’t hard to do considering that Spencer’s voice isn’t at her usual shy volume.

“Wow, it didn’t even take you one night!”

“Look, Spence, It’s not even….”

Ashley tried to explain but was cut off by an extremely irate Spencer
