Chapter 1

     "Hey baby, I’ve missed you."

     "Ashley? …Where am I-"

     "Shh… We’re together now Spence, you’re okay."

——————————————————————-

     I remember hating god for what he did. He took the only thing I ever loved away from me. The only thing that kept me sane, breathing, happy, my everything, he took it away, all for himself. Ashley Davies Born Oct. 21st 1989-June 10th 2007. I cringe everytime I read her name on this marble grave stone. She was never suppose to go like this. We had our whole lifes a head of us. She’s 17. Seventeen! Who dies at seventeen? And expescailly at their prom from a drive by shooting? She wasn’t suppose to die. Not like this.

     "Spencer, we should go…" A warming voice said behind me while placing their hand on my shoulder. It was Kyla. She looked as if she knew I couldn’t be here much longer. But see I’ve been here everyday to see Ashley since the funeral, this was just the first time I saw Kyla here as well.

     "Yeah, you’re right." I told her still looking at my girlfriends name on the glossy stone. I bent down on one knee and traced my finger over her ingraved name.

     "Good bye beautiful." I whispered thinking just maybe, somehow, she could hear me. I got back up and dried my tears that had fallen from my eyes and turned to Kyla who gave me a small smile. I tried to give her one too, but it was like I forgot how to since god took Ashley away. But like I said, I tried. She gave me a nod and we headed to the path to get our cars.

     Once we got there I gave Kyla a hug good bye and drove out of the cemetery. I didn’t want to go home just yet, instead I decided to go to the beach. The sun was just about to set, and nobody is really around at this time. I made myself comfortable in the sand and breathed in the fresh ocean sent. When I realized where I was sitting, I sighed and closed my eyes, going back to a place when it was just me and Ashley.
