In the absence of love.

Aiden- "Im sorry spencer, I know you told me to back off but you cant walk away from someone you love."                                            

Spencer- "Love? Oh please dont do this!"

Ashley- "Stop it, both of you i decide who i love."

Spencer- "Than just decide!"

Ashley’s pov.

   Bullets stung the air as Spencers voice echoed in my ears. It’s been 3 months since the shooting and i havent spoken to anyone. Clay and Aiden died that night but i might as well say i did too. I lost my best friend that night and if that wasn’t bad enough i lost the only who ever actually loved me, Spencer.  I miss my best friend though, not the Aiden from prom, not someone from my past, not some old flame that burnt out. No I miss my best friend the one who would be there if Spencer and I had a fight. I miss my protector. My shoulder to cry on, most of all I miss my support system. I have no one now. All alone thats how I feel. No one to love me.

Love well one thing comes to mind, Spencer. Those piercing blue eyes, her soft hands, the love she showed. She was perfect and I gave that up. In the absence of love I am. I realized that you dont need anything to be someone’s everything. Well I have everything except the one thing I need most in life, her love again. I need that look of sincerity in someones eyes. The look that says I need you, I want you, I love you.

Im Ashley Davies and Im in love with the idea of falling in love but not being in love because I can assure you I cause internal bleeding.
