“No problem,” Kyla said. Kyla and Aiden left the room.

“Spencer, sweetie wake up, I’m fine,” responded Ashley sweetly as she kissed my forehead. I didn’t die from the stab wound Chelsea gave me. We’re both okay. I opened my eyes and Ashley caressed my cheek.

“I had that dream again,” I explained in tears. Ashley held on to me tighter. I’m sorry.

“For what?” asked Ashley.

“I keep having these reoccurring nightmares and you don’t sleep because of it,” I answered simply.

“I don’t care if I don’t get any sleep,” responded Ashley. I love you so very much, Spence. It’s my job to look out for you. I’m sorry that I can’t help you out though, babe. I…I wish I could erase the pain you’re dealing with right now. If I could, I would take away all your pain.

“You have helped me, Ash,” I began. You’ve always been there even in my dreams. You’re my guardian angel, Ashley Davies. These nightmares won’t stop no matter how hard I try.

“I know they won’t go away, but I will always be there to help make your nightmares go away,” responded Ashley sweetly. As you said, I am your guardian angel.

A couple of days later, my classmates had stared at me and kept whispering during most of my classes. I only had a few morning classes with Ashley and she told off our classmates. I knew that the rumors have continued. At lunch, I went towards Ashley at the quad. “Ash, everyone is staring at me, everywhere I go and it won’t stop,” I stated in tears. I know I wanted to come today, so I wouldn’t have to deal with have anymore schoolwork, but you were right, babe. We should’ve stayed home. Ashley wrapped her arms around me in a comforting hug. Ashley pressed her forehead against mine.

“Do you want us to go home, baby?” asked Ashley with concern. You made it through half the day and I am so proud of you for doing that. I don’t want you to remember your sixteenth birthday being so miserable because of our stupid classmates and their looks and snarky remarks.

“My birthday, no today is the 16th?” I questioned confused. Oh yeah, I forgot that today was my birthday, Ash.
