Growing Up – (Chapter: Desperation)
After wiggling the key off the ring, I press it silently into the counter and without looking back I leave the only place I could ever call home.
The impact of seeing Spencer again, was much greater than I could have prepared myself for. After spending all that time apart, letting go should not be this hard. I should not feel like my whole world has just collapsed around me. Up until the moment I saw her lying on her bed I had pushed my feelings for her aside. Her presence seems to awaken a part of me that otherwise remains dormant.
For the past few weeks, I have walked around in a blind ignorance. I knew what I had done was wrong and I should have tried to fix it. Spencer has every right to be inexcusably mad at me. First I blow up at her, then I trample her feelings, and then I never call her back. Deep down I think convinced myself I could never lose her. Therefore, mending our broken friendship had not seemed like a priority until now and now it is too late.
I have been lying in my bed for hours at a time, not even really sure how many days have passed since I left her house. Time seems to have slowed to allow me to truly feel every painful second. Sara calls constantly, but I know she can not understand what I am going through and I ignore her calls. It is an indescribable feeling to lose your best friend, no matter how much distance you had from each other. I stare at the ceiling in a catatonic trance; too depressed to even cry.
At some point my mom actually checks in, concerned by how much time I have been spending home. I clutch my pillow in my arms as she speaks to me. Eventually getting the point that I do not want to talk, she leaves. Even though it was her, human contact of any kind is almost welcome. I hear a soft knock on the door and I assume it is her again.
“Go away.” I hear footsteps in the room. “Mom, please!”

dyanysion says
I’m too sleepy to deal with this kind of emotional turmoil. I am too exhausted to fully comprehend. And now I’m going to have to close my office door.. leaving my staff confused, thinking that I’m pissed at them.. but really, I don’t want them to see me crying! Wonderful chapter. Please post more, sure it may be ripping my heart out, but I just keep NEEDING more! Thank you, caseygurl.
Alarmclock says
I’m so proud of Ashley for finally revealing her true feelings to Spencer. I’m so proud of her that I wish I could give her a pat on the ass…I mean…back. Ok, I really mean to say ass. I’m not mad at Spencer for reacting the way she did. She was probably a little bit in shock, so I understand. She just needs some time to process everything. And did you say that Jesse is hiding info from Spencer that leads to their demise? I KNEW that dumb Jesse was hiding something! And I’ve never been more in love with the word “demise”. GREAT JOB, caseygirl! Can’t wait for the next post!

SON says
a week man. a week. that was harsh. but i forgive you because i love your writing. har. dl why by jason aldean, the chorus is the epitome of ashley. see what you’ve done? i can’t even be at peace when i listen to my ipod because i’m always thinking…i wonder if caseygurl updated her fanfic yet. i used to be a fully functioning member of society but now i’ve been reduced to a bumbling mess. thanks caseygurl. thanks alot! now you could easily restore me to my former glory if you just send me your fanfic in its entirety. No? well..it was worth a try.
Sp0rtigirl says
you’re making me extremely sad…
prefectnaibun says
i really don’t know what to say, i suppose i should say something like: “my heart is breaking” but i like to be original and this would be like what? repitition #10^6, but seriously man, you better become a doctor or something because you are constantly sending peoiple to the hospital with your stories. Not me though, i have faith in you, i just enjoy your stories too much. And I will not disclose the secret about Jesse… even though is obvious from the other chapters, that stupid BOT
Clarity says
Memo to self: Although it is exciting to discover that a new chapter to this kick-ass story has been posted, stop reading them at work. It won’t go over well when you have to explain to your boss that you’re crying due to fanfic.
Wicked1 says
Gah! *grabs chest* So…utterly…heartbreaking. Poor Ashley, she was already fucked up, now after this….I don’t know what she’s gonna do. Spencer wanted it, she knew she did. Man, that fucking sux! Update again soon.
SONfreak18 says
WOW! I’m left speechless…and crying again. Can’t wait for the next update.
prefectnaibun says
ok this is my review #2 as i promised… wtf Spencer? didn’t you want ashley to tell you what’s wrong and then you leave her still? she just told you she is in love with you DAMN IT! you better win her back once jess-bot breaks down on the springer show. Ashley try to move on into sara she seems fun. Really spencer I’m so mad at you right now. Aughhhhh. And to the author aughhhh tooo. you write so well that I wish i could slapsome sence into spencer
