Ashley: "WHAT DO I DO?!!!" I practically scream at Kyla who is so nicely taking my call even though she is on a date with Aiden. I almost feel bad for interrupting but honestly I didn’t know who else to call. Plus she wants to go to school to be a Psychologist. So she has been taking some night classes at the local community college to get a head start on her degree. Also to test the waters in seeing if that’s what she really wants to do after she graduates from high school.

Kyla: "First off calm down. We talked about this in my Psychology class. She probably is having a flashback and the way she is dealing with it is she has shut down completely. Certain people just need to be left alone for a little bit. Try to make her comfortable but don’t push her, she should snap out of it in a little bit. Now I have to get going if you have anymore problems call me. Ok?"

Ashley: "Ok. Have a good night." I say hanging up my phone. I look over at Spencer and she still hasn’t moved it’s only been five minutes though. After I had realized she froze I zipped up her pants and covered her with the blanket to make her feel more secure. I don’t know if that was the right thing but I always feel better if I’m scared and I cover up with a blanket. I guess it’s like the whole security blanket thing.

Another five minutes pass and I start to hear Spencer stirring.

Ashley: "Spence?" I say and get up off the floor and go back on to the bed.

Spencer: "Hmm?" She looks at me and then bursts into tears.

Ashley: "Spence? Are you ok?" I say wanting to hold her but thinking better of it. Just in case it makes her lapse into another flashback type thing.

Spencer: "No, I don’t know. I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry." She sits up and starts rocking herself. "I’m a horrible girlfriend."

Ashley: "Sweetheart no you are not. Don’t ever think that. I love you and I understand that you’ve been through so much. I promise you we will get through this. Ok?" I say looking into her eyes and gently cupping her face and wiping her tears with my thumbs.
