Spencer and her mom were sitting in
the living room. Spencer was crying
ever so softly. Paula was trying to
talk to her daughter.

Paula:"What happened?"

Spencer:"It’s not something you’d tell
your mom about."

Glen walked in abruptly.

Glen:"She’s just mad cause Ashley
isn’t doing her right."

Spencer:"Forget you Glen!"

Paula:"Both of you chill! Now,what did
Ashley do?"

Spencer:"I don’t want to talk about it!"

She ran up to her room and slammed
the door. The Christmas tree in the
living room shook.

Paula:"Glen! You could be more supportive!"

Glen:"I didn’t throw Ashley out of the
house by her hair!"

Ashley and Kyla were in Ashley’s room.
Ashley looked upset but not…upset.

Kyla:"So…do you want to talk about it?"

Ashley:"No…"

Kyla:"You sure?"

Ashley:"I think I’ll go to bed now…"

Kyla:"It’s eighto’clock."

Ashley:"Good night Kyla."

Kyla got up and walked to her room.
Ashley picked up her phone that had just
rung. It was Chelsea.

Phone conversation..

Chelsea:"Jaden’s acting up again."

Ashley:"Do like I do. Put Spongebob in
and turn it up REALLY loud."

Chelsea:"I think he has a cold."

Ashley:"Don’t know why it’s hot as Hell."

Chelsea:"Yeah it is."

Ashley:"Is he asleep?"

Chelsea:"Almost. Thanks for the advice.
Your great with kids."

Ashley:"……."

Chelsea:"Ash? I didn’t mean to-"

Ashley:"I’m okay*tear*I just….I’m
just tired. Merry Chrismas."

Ashley sat down next to Kyla on
a bench in the park. Aiden went to get some ice cream.

Kyla:"So,I’ve been meaning to tell
you how much it hurt when you threw
me off your bed yesterday morning."

Ashley:"Well,why did you come in and
jump on me?"

Kyla:"It was Christmas! Who doesn’t get
up early on Christmas?"

Ashley:"The anti-christ."

Kyla:"Haha. Very funny."

Ashley:"Christmas isn’t reall my
holiday."

Kyla:"Why didn’t you see Spencer yesterday?"

Ashley:"……she’s mad at me."

Kyla:"What did you-"

Aiden:"Got the ice cream."

Ashley:"I think I’m going to go for
a walk."

Aiden:"Ash,it’s a hundred degrees out.
You’ll pass out from….not being…"

Kyla:"Dehydration?"

Aiden:"Yeah that’s it."

Ashley:"I’ll take my chances."

Spencer was playng with her nephew
Jaden. Chelsea and Clay went out
for some air. Jaden was 3 months old.
Chelsea and Clay lived in their own
apartment building not too far from
home.

Spencer:"Awwww! Jaden you’re so cute."

Glen:"Like a button."

Spencer:"Was that sarcasm?"

Glen:"…maybe,….."

Spencer:"Where’s the Spongebob DVD he
got yesterday?"

Glen:"Spencer! We saw it like 15 times!"

Spencer:"Spongebob is lovable like that.
Don’t hate."
