Chapter 5

Spencer’s POV

“Dad what’s going on?” I asked getting a little angry and more than a little confused.

“So wait-” Clay started but I instantly turned to him.

“You don’t get to talk right now!” I yelled at him making him shut up instantly and look around at the others. I ignored them and turned my attention back to my dad.

“You told me mom died when I was 6 and that was why she stopped coming to see me. I remember being devastated. So what was that dad? That was all a lie?” I asked, getting angrier by the minute. Every body stayed silent but right now I was focused on my dad, who would look anywhere but at me and still didn’t say anything.

“Okay you know what?! Since you can’t answer me then I’m leaving! I can’t deal with this shit!” I yelled, throwing my hands up in frustration and storming off. I could vaguely hear people calling me but it didn’t stop me from walking away from them. I didn’t need this right now. Of all the things… As I turned the corner someone grabbed my arm and turned me around but not before I shoved them against the wall, pinning their body with mine. It was Ashley.

“Don’t touch me” I whispered angrily. She didn’t even look one bit upset or angry at me for pushing her against the wall, she just gave me a sympathetic look and a sad smile.

“I know you’re angry Spencer. Hell, I would be too if it was me. But you need to talk to somebody about it” she said looking me in the eyes then back down to my lips then back to my eyes again. That’s when I realized our position. I was still pushed against her, my arms on her chest and her hands gripping my hips.

“And who am I gonna talk to huh? You?” I asked bitterly, still not backing away from her.

“If you want to yes. But only when you’re ready. And if not me then we’ll find someone else Spencer” she said, once again looking at my lips and I watched as her tongue darted out to lick her lips. I bit my lip in response but kept quiet.

“If you don’t want to talk then at least come back to the group and then I’ll show you your room and help you get settled in okay? And if you want I can send your dad home and you can see him when your ready” she said, squeezing my hips for emphasis. I stepped back from her finally and crossed my arms over my chest.

“Yea please send him home. I can’t deal with him right now. Lead the way Ashley” I said, stretching my arm out in front of me as she took a step closer to me.

“That’s your majesty to you, Spence” she said smiling and winked at me before turning around and heading back to the others. I couldn’t help the smirk that came to my face as I followed her. Maybe this won’t be so bad after all.
