Trippy Beginning

Chapter 23 – The Final Trip

2 Months after the mess of a double date, our girls have started to drift apart. Not that they had much choice in the matter. Ashley was put in the care of her aunt Carrie, who happened to live Cleveland, Ohio.

Ashley knocked lightly on Spencer’s bedroom door. Her eyes were burning from the tears that hadn’t quite fallen. She had just found out that she was set to go and live with her Aunt in Ohio. And as much as she had screamed and refused she didn’t have a choice, her things were being packed as she stood here outside her love’s door.

A cheerful “come in” welcomed her in to the pale yellow room. And there she sat the angel of Ashley’s eye. Spencer looked so happy lying on her bed swinging her legs back and forth as she hummed along to Faith Hill’s ‘There You’ll Be’; not the best song for the news she was about to receive.

Angelic ocean blue eyes connected melting brown. ~Instantly she knew some thing was wrong with her girlfriend.

“Ashley? Are you ok?” her sweetness made Ashley’s tears pour from her eyes, which gave her some relief from the burning sensation. Spencer ran over to Ashley as she fell to the floor in heart breaking sobs, her legs could no longer hold her up.

“I-I’m leaving” Those two words, bought Spencer’s world down around her. She was crushed so fast that she couldn’t breathe. She fell back from holding Ashley her eyes wide and her body shaking with her tears.

This was a different kind of pain; it was as if someone had just ripped out her heart. It was the kind of pain that you can feel in the tips of your fingers and even then the hurt just keeps on spreading; till your entire being aches with the hurt the pain had caused. And what was worse there was no cure for such pain.

“Why? And where?” That was as much as Spencer could get out. The lack of air entering her lungs was causing her chest to heave. Ashley tried to calm herself, so she could answer her question in a hope that she could comfort her.
