I swear you’re as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
Fist fights versus fences in the backyard
For all her trying, Ashley couldn’t stop her. Neither could Paula or Clay. Crowded around the back fence they reached out but the flailing fists of Spencer Carlin proved more difficult to tame than a pride of hungry lions. Even in the late night light of the moon Ashley could see that there was no skin left on the girls knuckles and the blood was starting to trickle between her fingers. A random attempt to cease the incessant pounding on the wood of the back fence earned Paula a blow to the shoulder and a stagger backwards, her own tears flowing freely for hours but seemingly endless.
In the end, Ashley simply stood behind the poor blonde girl and wrapped her arms around her, ignoring the strength it took to stop Spencer and the pain from the struggle she slowly brought her down and felt the fists stop pounding. It was a rush as Spencer went weak at the knees, collapsing down and shaking. Turning the trembling girl in her arms Ashley held her, as though for dear life.
And if we go down, we go down together
*******************************************
Broken down in bathrooms
Ashley, never the mother or the doctor, did her best to attend to Spencer’s wounds in the bathroom. The blonde was no longer crying. No longer moving. Just sitting and letting her girlfriend take care of it. And she was doing a terrible job. Every time she touched one of the grazed skinless patches on Spencer’s knuckles, Ashley winced. Spencer just sat, the pain of no moment. It was nothing, nothing compared to the pain inside her.
She was on the floor. Ashley couldn’t seem to get her to sit on anything real. The scene mirrored last Fridays breakdown in the bar at Gray’s so perfectly that Ashley would have laughed at the symmetry. If there had been anything to laugh at.
“Can I help?” Paula Carlin’s voice was an empty echo from the bathroom door.
Ashley looked at her, head cocked sideways and unsure. They had never seen eye to eye, and Ashley fought her desperate inside wish to keep Spencer to herself. It was crazy at a time like this. She levered herself up off her knees and stood aside.

Seeeeez! You killed Ashley! :( You’ve certainly been miss one-shot downer, now haven’t you? Between this and the Voyeur. ::sigh:: I still loved it. How could I not? I’m a bit teary, though. Poor Ash. Poor Spence! I just want to cuddle them both. Hey! No WONDER they keep running away from you! You treat them so roughly! At least they got a vacation recently with Jesus. (He says hi through his tears after reading that.) :sniffle sniffle:

This post was really moving. The death of Ashley was a bit of a shocker, to say the least, but it was very well written!! Kudos!

Woah…I guess since I’ve never listened to or heard of the song I can definitely say “didn’t see that coming.” I’ve been reading your work for awhile, and you truly are an excellent writer. Great way in literally using the lyrics about the trigger. Suicide is a disturbing topic, and can be made even moreso when it is poorly written about or even glamorized. Ok, I think that’s all I wanted to say. Kudos.

okay… i have to talk this one out. i think i understand it, but i don’t know. it’s so deep… okay, so in the beginning… was it ashley’s spirit helping spencer? was it her spirit pulling her away from the fence and her spirit bandaging spencer… her spirit yelling for spencer to get up. guiding spence until she was ready to be let go…and ash killed herself… because she felt unworthy.wow… this really leaves me confused, but moved. amazing, kid… truly amazing.
