It had been weeks of endless torment. The days seemed as if they would never end and the nights felt cold and lonely as ashley sat in her room waiting. What she was waiting for could not be answered by her own lips, but by her actions. She had been waiting for spencer to come running through the door and she would wrap her arms around her and tell her she was going to ignore what her mother wanted and be with her anyways. Every day that spencer didnt run through that door, her hope dimmed a little more and her heart’s shine became lesser. She was soon going to become nothing but a vegetable sitting in her room, waiting, 20 years down the road. There was only one thing she knew that would make her temporarily feel better. Shop Therapy.

She dressed in simple sweatpants and a Ramones band tee. She threw a matching track jacket over it and threw her hair into a sloppy pony tail before gathering her things and heading towards the one place she knew she could blow some money.

Spencer was at the mall with her mother. The shopping trip that had been forced on her the same way as school, and chores, and living with this devil she called ‘mom’. Young spencer was soon coming to realize the things in her life, the decisions, were made for her. Even who she dated. She hated the way things ended with ashley. Although, ashley wasnt completely innocent.

3 weeks ago…

Ashley had a hard day at home and needed to talk to spencer, but she wasnt answering her phone. She rang the doorbell numerouse times only to be greeted by paula who had a very seriouse and evil look upon her face. "Hey miss C. Is spencer home?" Ashley already knew the answer because spencer was sitting at the top of the stairs. Just sitting there as if she didnt want to come down.

"Ashley, spencer is no longer aloud to be anywhere near you. And i suggest that at school, you stay away from her as well." Paula said. She attempted to shut the door but ashley stopped it with her hand pressed against it tightly. Paula swung the door back open furiously. "What?"
