I don’t know how it happened, exactly. Something about sand through an hourglass, minutes in a day, the seconds that form one missed opportunity after another. This was it. She was leaving, apparently staying with some extended family in Ohio before returning to school. How we had managed to avoid the gigantic, growing, practically vocal elephant in the room was beyond me.
How we could let it shift and sigh and fill the air with its presence and do nothing, I would never comprehend. But then again, I couldn’t comprehend a lot of what had happened this last two weeks. Somehow she had taken fourteen days and carefully unbuttoned a layer of sanity I hadn’t missed until just now as I watched her throw her remaining articles of clothing into a giant suitcase. And the eye contact of yesterday was now just that. She hadn’t looked at me all day. Maybe she knew what I knew. Maybe she knew that if she gave me any ounce of hope to go on I would beg her to give us a chance. I would plaster myself against that fleeting body and beg for what we deserved.
“Spence, your phone is ringing,” Kyla said, softly, pointing to Spencer’s vibrating purse.
My sister hadn’t received the memo that her friend had, so she spent most of the morning staring at me, waiting for me to react. How I reacted to all of this would cue her as well and she would act accordingly. For the first time in as long as I could remember, she was choosing to take my side on this.
“Oh.”
Spencer walked quickly over to her purse as Kyla stared intently at the side of my face. I wouldn’t let her communicate with me in any way, because if she did that would be the end. I would give myself up right there, toss up every single card, sound every alarm and cry. She would allow me the insight into the reality of my situation and I just couldn’t go there yet. Especially when it would be forced upon me at any minute whether I was ready or not.
“Hello? Oh…ok…yeah, sure…I’ll be ready…no, sounds great. I’ll see you then. Ok. Bye.”
Spencer’s half of the conversation meant nothing without its counter-part and I secretly hoped she’d clue me in as to how long I had to make her reconsider her decision to leave us as we were. Her decision to return to school unattached and just as she left it. Without any part of me at all.

You just did not do that to us? Oh, the cruelty of it all! You’re going to be gone for 2 weeks…oh fuck! I don’t understand Spencer’s apprehension to allowing Ashley to go stay with her to school. I really don’t blame Ashley for giving the blonde an ultimatum, that was needed to get Spencer’s attention. I hope she allows Ashley to go with her back to school. Loved this amazing update, but the cliffhanger was maddening!
