Retrace – (Chapter: The Promise)
As I walked down off the stage I was extremely nervous and, dare it be said of Ashley Davies, a bit vulnerable. I was afraid that I had gone too far by dedicating that song when I had likely done something or said something to push Spencer away this past week. My fingers twisted around one another in the nervous habit I had picked up when I stopped drinking a few months ago. I stepped up to the bar that she still leaned against and noticed the tear tracks down her cheeks and I was damn scared that I’d done whatever it was that made her cry.
If you need a friend,
Don’t look to a stranger,
You know in the end,
I’ll always be there.
“Hi,” I breathed out in a low voice.
“Hey,” she replied just as quietly despite the loud hum of voices and music mixing around us.
“I . . . uh, I didn’t know you were going to be here. I probably wouldn’t have dedicated the song like that if I did.”
And when you’re in doubt,
And when you’re in danger,
Take a look all around,
And I’ll be there.
“Why not?” her question took me off guard. Her voice didn’t seem angry or even slightly annoyed as I had expected.
“I don’t really know. It’s not that I didn’t mean it. I just thought maybe you’d be mad that I said that. Since you haven’t been answering my calls or anything I figured I must have done something wrong or said something I shouldn’t have, and even though I don’t know what it is I’m sorry. We all know I have a severe case of foot in mouth syndrome and . . .”
I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you’ll wait around a while, I’ll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.
“Like now?” she cut me off, “You didn’t do anything. It was me; I was avoiding you and your calls.”
“Why?”
“I was scared, am scared. You hurt me, worse than I’ve ever been hurt, and you coming to LA brought everything that happened back up to the surface.”

I forgive you for the la’s lol! Good job on picking the right song for the storry yet again. :-) As the song goes, so goes the story, and the song went well. I like the uniqueness of the way you write! Its different from the other writers on here! Keep letting your words sing like the songs!
once again brilliant! and yea vanessa was totally a genius not at all a bitch in my opinion! another great song choice, I agree that your style is different, and I love it. music is such a big part of life that it helps reveal the emotions in the story. I had to laugh at the foot in mouth syndome.. I totally suffer from that too! haha. at least spence is giving ash the friendship shot, now I’m just hoping that ash has grown up and can prove it! fantastic, please pms!
*scoffs* friends, this will be interesting! But a really good thing too, they need to fix shit trust and all that. Great chapter!
