Before first block; Chloe, Chelsea, Emma, Sean, and Tom where surrounding Ashley bombarding her with questions concerning her and Spencer’s relationship. Questions were fired one after the other making it quite awkward for Ashley to answer alone; making her wish her blonde would show. And as the late bell had rang the six friends had departed to their own classes.

Sitting in her seat in history; Ashley waited for her blonde to swiftly walk into the classroom. She was surprised when the final bell had rang and her friend had yet to be seen, Spencer was rarely absent and if she was; she would have sent Ashley a text message saying so. Yet she received no message; and a deep nervousness grew in her chest.

Throughout the day Ashley had sent random text messages to her friend yet no reply. She tried to ensure herself that her friend’s phone was not charged and she had a cold. But somehow Ashley knew it was something more; she just didn’t want to admit it.

Ashley had asked Chelsea in forth block if she knew anything; but she seemed just as puzzled as Ashley. This made both girls quite uneasy seeing as no one knew why the blonde did not show.

Finally when she got home; she went on her laptop to check if her friend was on instant messenger; no such luck. After dinner Ashley had called Spencer; but no one had answered.

Ashley couldn’t sleep that night with constant worry of why her friend wasn’t speaking to her; she tossed and turned but nothing could calm down her mind.

The next day of school, a Tuesday, Ashley took notice her friend was still absent. No text no calls nothing to explain why.

Ashley then made a plan; she would stop by her friend’s house to see if she was ok. She thought she was acting too clingy; but she couldn’t help herself anymore she needed to know why.

While walking home Ashley took the other route to Spencer’s house; as she reached her destination; she noticed Spencer’s mom’s car was parked outside the house; which was unusual since she worked at this time. Although she could be watching over Spencer.

Ashley rang the door bell and soon two blue eyes peeked through a crack due to the open door.

“Now’s not a good time Ashley,” Spencer mumbled, but Ashley heard sadness in her voice.

“Why, I was just wondering if you were ok. You haven’t been in school and I got worried,” Ashley said with pure concern in her voice.

“Family problems,” Opening the door wider Ashley could see that Spencer was worn; most likely from crying.

“Do you need someone to talk to?” She offered, Spencer smiled softly.

“Yeah, that would be really nice,” She let Ashley in and they two girl walked to Spencer’s room in silence and they both sat on her bed about a foot from one another.

“Is your mom home?” Ashley asked noticing that the house was completely empty except for the two. A small tear slide down Spencer’s cheek, which Ashley noticed immediately and apologized, “I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s not your fault,” Spencer shrugged whipping the tear away. After minutes she finally gathered up the courage to finally say, “Have you ever hear of something called schizophrenia?”

Ashley nodded and Spencer continued.

“My mom was diagnosed when I was two; and she went in the hospital for it before. But this time it was bad Ash,” She took a breath and she was holding back tears, “She took all of her medicine in one doss, just Monday morning like a few hours before school. My dad took her to the hospital, and called me out. But I’ll I’ve heard is that she had her stomach pumped, and they are putting her in this care place again; and I just don’t want to lose her,” Spencer was fully crying now and Ashley had engulfed her in a hug cradling the girl.

“Spencer, it’s going to be ok,” But the blonde persisted to cling to her brunette.

“I miss her Ash,” Spencer sniffled and looked at her bed, when she finally saw what she was looking for she grabbed the stuffed animal and brought it to her chest. Soon she buried her head into Ashley once more.

“I know you do, everything’s going to be alright Spency,” The brunette cradled the broken girl trying to make all that she could better.

Spencer’s sobbing had stopped but silent tear still had crawled down her face. She lifted her head to gaze into Ashley’s eyes; and smiled slightly.

“I got her when I was four,” Spencer was referring to the old once white grey animal, “When my mom first went into the hospital,” sighing she continued, “She’s the only thing that’s always there for me when I need someone most,” Ashley had wiped a few stray tears on the blonde’s face.

“Hey, I’ll always be here for you. Just call me or anything no matter where or when I’ll be there for you Spence,” Smiling, Spencer blushed as Ashley kissed her forehead, “Would you like to spend the night at my house tonight?” The brunette had asked which the blonde agreed quickly.

“I’ll just have to ask my dad,” Spencer got up to make the call to her father, which led Ashley to miss her warmth and the closeness that they had shared.

Ashley had waited for her blonde to reenter the room, to pass time she decided to take a look around seeing how the bright colors had usually reflected Spencer’s personality.
