Looking for Love

Chap 2-Sweetest Goodbye

Where you are seems to be
As far as an eternity
Outstretched arms open hearts
And if it never ends then when do we start?
I’ll never leave you behind
Or treat you unkind
I know you understand
And with a tear in my eye
Give me the sweetest goodbye
That I ever did receive

Pushing forward and arching back
Bring me closer to heart attack
Say goodbye and just fly away
When you comeback
I have some things to say

How does it feel to know you never have to be alone
When you get home?
There must be someplace here that only you and I could go
So I can show you how I

Spencer plopped down on her bed after a long day of classes. As she laid there seemingly suffocating herself with her blanket Jesse, her roommate, pranced. “So Spencer, how were classes today,” the red head playfully taunted.

Spencer glared at her with one eye before grunting and returning her face to the blanket. Jesse smiled and continued, “Look at it this way, at least it’s Friday.”

Spencer grunted even louder this time. To this Jesse frowned and placed her hand on her roommate’s shoulder. “Come on Spence, college could be fun if you let it. Come out with me tonight. There’s a frat party and I’m sure there will be plenty of hot guys to distract you from missing home.”

 Spencer finally rolled over and smiled reassuringly at her roommate saying, “I’m really not up to it tonight.” Jesse sighed. “But I promise to go out with you tomorrow night,” she finished.

Jesse seemed satisfied with the suggestion. “I’m gonna hold you to that,” she said.

Spencer chuckled, “I bet you will.”

Jesse finished getting dressed and headed out the door. “I’ll see you later,” she said just as a good looking guy strolled past the dorm room. “Or maybe not,” she said as she left the room.

Spencer had to smile at her friend’s obsession with the male sex. It reminded her of Ashley’s obsession with the female sex. Spencer smirked sadly at the thought of Ashley. She’d been away for over a month and found herself becoming depressed every time she thought of home. She missed her friends and family so much but none more than Ashley. Spencer thought about their last week together and all the emotions: excitement, anger, sorrow, that came with her departure.
