SPENCER’S P.O.V.

So…this morning, instead of having us come down one at a time to eat breakfast, my mom brought breakfast to my room and Christine took breakfast to Ashley. They did the same thing for dinner. I’ve been in here all day. Can you go crazy from being confined to one room for 3 days straight? I’ve only seen the bathroom and I try to go in there as much as possible just for the change of scenery. Right now it’s 9:00 at night. Yea, did I mention that’s our bedtime for this punishment thing, it totally sucks, we haven’t had a bedtime since we were 15, but on the upside, this just means I get to see Ashley in three hours. Yea, that was me trying to be optimistic. Of course we can’t see each other right away because the adults are still up and checking on us. I just have to find something to do while waiting for 12:00 to get here. Everyone’s usually sleep by then.

I’m in my bed, reading A Walk To Remember, it’s not so bad when I know I’m gonna see her tonight. There’s a knock at my door, but it couldn’t be Ashley, she’s going to come through my window again. Besides, it’s only 10:07

Spencer: “Come in.” my door opens and it’s my dad.

Arthur: “Is Ashley here yet?” I smile guiltily.

Spencer: “No.”

Arthur: “Oh, well, just wanted to let you know I’m on night duty again so…” I chuckle.

Spencer: “Thanks.”

Arthur: “Just…do me a favor.” I nod. “Tomorrow, don’t do this sneaking around thing. It’ll be the last day, I don’t want to feel like you completely disobeyed your mother.”

Spencer: “Dad…” I whine.

Arthur: “Spencer, it’s a punishment. What are you learning from it if your defying it.”

Spencer: “But you’re letting me.”

Arthur: “That’s right, and I could just as easily not let you.” I sigh.

Spencer: “Alright. No Ashley tomorrow.” I say reluctantly.

Arthur: “Good.” he kisses me on the top of my head and walks to the door.

Spencer: “Hey dad…” he turns to me. “…you’re not gonna tell mom are you?”

Arthur: “Tell what?” he says seriously then smiles and walks out closing the door behind him.
