Spencer had been awake for two hours all ready, she’d crawled out of the bed being careful not to wake the sleeping brunette. She sat on the steps outside the front door nursing a cup of coffee in her hands watching the sun rise above white fluffy clouds. The rays of light reminded her of the fire that engulfed her home in Ohio, taking away the people she loved and cared for. Smiling she thought of Clay hounding down his breakfast, the boy although a genius never could chew and swallow, he was like a big hole never gaining weight no matter how much he ate. Glen scribbling answers down on his homework because instead of doing it last night like a good little boy he stayed up talking to his girlfriend over the phone, so now he was doing a half way than decent job at the kitchen table. Paula finishing fixing her and Arthur’s plates and than the two joined their three children at the table.

Tilting her head she smiled at the memory of her family as the sun beams danced across the sky, she turned her head to look up the side of the house. From her angle sitting on the front step she could barely make out the corner of Ashley’s window but Spencer knew it was there and just knowing that up in the room laid the one person she’d felt good around for a couple years was sleeping peacefully made her heart sore with happiness. Guilt suddenly over took her, she didn’t mean for what happen to take place. She was truly turned on back there but than something went wrong, it felt like she drifted off yet she could still feel and move and talk and had control but at the same time she had no control. No sense in worrying about it now, Spencer thought taking a long sip of coffee and letting the dark rich liquid slide down her dry throat. Today’s resolution…one: Do something nice for Ashley, two: finish a full day of school, that should be oh so fun and three: well something should present itself and when it does I’ll do it. Spencer sighed.

“Spencer?” Ashley’s voice rose behind her in the house, “Spencer you here?” it sounded like the girl had been looking for her for awhile.
