Chapter Six

I opened my eyes slowly and noticed the bright light shining into my room. I shook my head and looked down to see that I was partially naked and my towel was only covering the bottom portion of my body.

I wiped the sleep from my eyes and looked around my room. The room was quiet and nothing seemed to feel any different than the day before. I stood up and wrapped the towel firmly around my body and headed into my bathroom.

When my eyes saw the ripped and lightly blood stained dress I remembered that everything was different now. I looked into the mirror and could barely recognize the person looking back at me.

“Spencer…” I whispered to my reflection. “Oh god…”

I ran out of the bathroom and frantically grabbed the clothes I had laid out when I got home. I slid the clothes on and threw my hair up into a ponytail. I reached for my cell phone and purse before I ran out of my room.

I was halfway down the stairs when I heard muffled voices coming from the living room. I stopped in my tracks when I heard Aiden cough and swore under my breath. What was he doing here?

I took a deep breath and quietly made my way down the stairs hoping that they wouldn’t hear me. I had my hand on the door when suddenly the talking stopped.

“Ashley…” I heard Aiden’s voice say.

“Not now Aiden…” I said starting to open the door.

He grabbed for my shoulder and I stepped back as if his touch burned me. His face was filled with shock by the way I reacted and he backed up with his hands in the air.

I glared at him trying to convey all the anger I had inside of me towards him with that one look.

“Look…Ash…”

“Don’t call me that…not anymore…” I said bitterly.

“I’m sorry about last night…I didn’t want it to turn out that way…”

“What way were you hoping it would turn out? I am not your girlfriend anymore Aiden…”

“I know that…I just needed to tell you how I was feeling because it’s been so hard lately…”
