Chapter Six

I paced my room checking to see if I had packed everything that I thought I would need for the summer trip. I looked over at my dresser and then in my closet. I looked at my bed and saw my suitcases lined up neatly letting out a final sigh.

We’ll find another way to dance

We’ll find another way to dance

If you get the chance

You must dance, dance, dance

We’ll find another way to dance

We’ll find another way to dance

If you get the chance

You must dance, dance, dance

Be what you believe

Stand up break free

Be what you believe

Bright lights can’t see

Be what you believe

Stand up break free

Be what you believe

Bright lights can’t see

I rushed over to my cell phone on my nightstand and smiled hitting the talk button.

“Hey baby!” I said in a husky voice.

“Oh Spencer…I love it when you sound like that.” Ashley said with a laugh. “You know I could just sneak you out of the house and just push the trip off just one more day.”

“No, Ash. We are going today, ok?” I said sitting down on my bed playing with the blanket on top.

“Fine…ruin my fun…fun ruiner.” She said, probably with her classic Davies pout on her beautiful face.

“Fun ruiner? See this is where a nice education would have come in handy…and stop pouting because I know you are.” I said knowingly.

“Yeah, yeah. Ok so I’m on my way over…so I should be there in the next half-hour.”

I looked at my clock making a note of the time. “Ok, Ash. I’ll see you in a bit. Love you.”

“Love you more! Mwah!” I laughed as she made kissing noises before hanging up.

I looked at my bags and took a deep breath before grabbing one in each hand. I dragged the heavy suitcases out of my room and to the top of the stairs. I looked down at the distance and debated how I was going to do this.

I took one suitcase with both hands and carefully carried it down, huffing and puffing as I went along. I placed the bag near the doorway and went back for the other suitcase. I repeated my efforts from before and took the rest of my suitcases down placing them all by the door.
