-ASHLEY’S POV-
Spencer’s body tightened in my grip. She began to struggle.
“Let me go, Ashley.” She growled. I held on to the smaller form as she tried to wiggle from my arms.
“Spence…”
“Ashley, you let go of me right now.”
“No, baby. You’re gonna sit still and we’re going to talk this out.” I said sternly.
“Talk this out, YOU’RE ADDICTED TO COCAINE!”
“Don’t yell at me!” I said through gritted teeth. I was getting tired of this.
“You we’re yelling at me!”
Ring, ring, ring…Groaning, Spencer reached over and picked up her phone.

“Baby?”
“I hate you!” Her phone was thrown onto the ground before she hurled herself into my arms. I held her awkwardly.
“Spencer, what happened?” I asked softly.

“You don’t mean that, Spencer?” She shook her head.
“You’re not who I fell in love with. I’m sorry, but I need a break. I’m going to call Glen to pick me up.” I yanked her back onto the bed. “Ashley!”
“You love me.” It came out more as a plea.
“Why do you do this to me?” Spencer curled into me and I held her close to me, scared she would disappear. “I’m just so…” Taking a deep breath she continued, “so afraid of you sometimes.”
“What?
