"Ow." She grabbed her arm and pulled it out of my hand. Ashley: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just don't want you to go." I barely touched her.
Spencer: "It's not your fault I have a bruise..." She stopped mid-sentence.
Ashley: "Spence, please trust me. Let me see." I say pointing to her arm. She hesitated at first but then eventually let me see it. It was a bruise in the shape of a large hand. I gasp. "Did Travis do this to you?"
She didn't say any thing she just looked down. I lifted her chin up to look into her eyes. She just gazed into mine and then started looking at my lips and then back into my eyes. She went back and forth for a while. It's almost like she wants to kiss me, but she seems like she's scared and there is no way in hell that I'm making the first move. I don't want to ruin anything, and I want Travis out of the picture. I don't want to be the other woman, I want to be the only one for her. Yep that's right I have major feelings for Spencer and I don't care who knows it. She leaned in and at the last second turned her head and gave me a hug and sobbed.
Spencer: "Yes, but you have to keep a secret." She continued to sob.
Ashley: "Spence you have to tell someone. He needs to be stopped." I say rubbing her back trying to sooth her.
Spencer: "He's going to kill me if I do." She cried.
Ashley: "I won't let that happen. I have friends in high places I'll make some phone calls to have him picked up. Ok?" She just nodes into my shoulder and squeezes me a little too tight. "Ow."
Spencer: "I'm sorry." She jumped away from me.
Ashley: "It's ok. The tubes and everything are out but I"m still tender." I say grabbing her hand and pulling her back into me.
Spencer: "Do you still have bandages?" She asked into my shoulder.
Ashley: "Ya but they're small."
Spencer: "Can I see? I'm not hitting on you I swear I just am interested in that kind of stuff. You know cuz I wanna be a nurse. And..." I laugh and stop her.
