Chapter Nineteen

Spencer’s P.O.V.

I was walking towards the quad when I saw Ashley and Kyla talking to one another. Kyla walked away from Ashley’s table and went to talk to some other guy at another table. I went towards Ashley. “Hey you.” I kissed Ashley. Ashley wrapped her arms around my waist and I cupped Ashley’s face. Ashley sucked on my bottom lip and I pulled back from the kiss.

“Hey yourself. I tried talking to Kyla, but she keeps shutting me out.” Ashley sighed and I rested my forehead against hers. “I wish I could help her. The last thing I would want is my sister to wind up like me.”

“I know you wish you could help her, but just give her some time.” I hated seeing Ashley like this. Maybe there was a way I could help Ashley and Kyla. I kissed Ashley lightly on the tip of her nose. Ashley smiled and leaned in for a kiss.

“I love you so very much.” Ashley caressed my cheek.

“I love you, too. Are you still able to be there tonight when I meet my Mom’s new boyfriend?”

“Yep, I sure am. I am not backing down on my word. So what did you bring for lunch today?” I revealed two brown lunch bags.

“I uh made you lunch today.” Ashley raised an eyebrow like I was speaking to her in another language.

“You made me lunch?” I nodded and Ashley smiled. “No one has ever made me lunch before.”

“Good, if not I would have to hunt the girl down.” Ashley laughed. “This is no joking manner, alright?”

“Alright.” Ashley opened the brown bag and saw that I made her a ham and cheese sandwich as well as there being a slice of chocolate cake. “Thanks so much.” Ashley and I shared another kiss and then we had lunch.

It was the end of the school day when I noticed Kyla was waiting for me by her locker. I left her a note in her locker to see if she would be able to talk to me since Ashley was having no such luck. “So you wanted to see me?” I nodded and took out the books I needed to complete my homework assignments. For senior year they were sure adding a lot of pile to the work besides anxiously awaiting for acceptance letters from colleges. “Look, I know that party got out of hand and I apologized to Ash about it already.” Kyla sighed.
