Things Happen

Chapter 13 – Lost

Spencer’s POV

It’s been a hard week. Ashley and Tia have hardly left the house. They won’t eat. They can’t sleep. I’m at my wits end, I can’t keep this up. I’m exhausted, but I will keep my promise. I will take care of them.

Belle’s funeral is this week. Well tomorrow, to be exact. I picked everything out for the decorations. I would have asked Ashley what Belle would have liked, but these days I can’t even get a nod or a simple blink for an answer. Their both like zombies. They just look at me with sad, empty eyes and walk away. I think I’ll go mad, if I stay cooped up with these two any longer.

I just got the phone with Belle’s parents. Let’s just say they won’t be attending. We still don’t know any thing about what happened. The police have no leads, but they say she was attacked. So their going with a murder charge when they have a suspect. I don’t know how many times I have said “she went to meet her brother Peyton” all they say is “he can’t be found”.

And just to make matters worse that Frankie girl has been hanging around my dorm lately. She demands to see Ashley, but I have denied her access every time. I’m not sure if it was what’s best for me or Ashley, but either way that sneaky bitch is not getting close to my Ashley. Especially in her fragile state of mind, she is in no shape to be talking to anyone.

Snoopy has been an absolute angel the past few days. She goes grocery shopping for me. And she takes care of Tia and Ashley whilst I have to attend my class. Ashley and Tia have been given time off from their courses dew to the sudden events that had taken place, just outside my door.

And Kenzie well…she has been taken out of college, by her parents. After Belle’s death and probable murder was plastered on the front of every news paper in L.A. Her parents came. Loaded her stuff and left just like that. They didn’t want her in harms way, but this is L.A, you’ll always be in danger here. It’s the city life.
