Growing Up – (Chapter: Fearlessness)
“Hello?” Hearing nothing I check the display to find that I have missed the call. My heart sinks when I check the number. Spencer Home. I wait patiently for a voicemail, but one never comes. “Should I call back?” I pace nervously in my room, chewing on the antenna of my phone, trying to build up my courage. I close my eyes, take a deep breath and press the send button.
“Hello?” Mr.C asks when he picks up the phone.
“Hey Mr. C it’s Ashley.”
“Oh hi Ashley, how is everything?”
“Just fine thanks, I’m just relieved that this semester has finally ended.”
“Understandable.”
“Is a, Spencer there?”
“No she’s not.”
“Oh, I was just returning her call. Do you know when she will be back?”
“Actually I called you. I just wanted to invite you over for Christmas dinner; you come every year and since Spencer isn’t going to be here I figured you might like to join us.”
“Spencer isn’t going to be there?” I ask half heartedly, wishing that she would be coming home.
“No, she wasn’t able to get time off from her job.”
“Oh.” Even though I will not be seeing Spencer after all, Mr. C’s kindness brings a tear to my eye. “I would love to come.”
“Okay great. Be here tomorrow around five o’clock.” I smile warmly at the excitement in his voice.
“I can’t wait. Bye Mr. C.”
“Bye.”
As much as I am dying inside to see and talk to Spencer, I am relieved that she is not going to be here today. Seeing the rest of Spencer’s family is nerve wracking enough; if I were going to see Spencer, I am not sure I would have been able to come at all.
“So Glen, what have you been up to?” I ask as Clay, Glen and I all sit chatting comfortably in the living room waiting for dinner to finish cooking.
“Well this is the first year I have been able to actually play ball. It’s about time too…I’m a junior already and the time is tickin’!” I look Glen over and I can see that despite his nagging leg injury he has kept himself in very good shape. His upper body is definitely reaping the benefits of a handicapped leg. “I start every game now.”
“That’s great Glen….”
“Dinner’s ready!” Our conversation is interrupted by Mr. C’s shouts from the next room.
“Thank God. I’m starving!” Glen shouts back as he practically runs to the dining room, Clay and I following right behind.
We all take our places at the table, bowing our heads as Clay says a prayer. After he says grace we ravenously dig into the food and share light conversation. Our banter is halted by a sound coming from the front door. I look to Clay questioningly and he looks just as confused as I must. Mr. C walks to the front door to unlock it, but it flies open before he reaches his destination. He has the only view of the surprise guest and he stands there with his mouth wide open.
“What are you doing here?” I hear him ask, his tone is one of complete shock. Leaning farther back in my chair, I strain to see who is at the door. I make out the back of a thick black jacket entering the door and my heart stops when the visitor removes her hood and turns to face me.
“Spencer?” I gasp.

Ahh, Spencer! Grrr, what a cliffhanger! I’m really glad Ashley talked things out with Danielle. The mood of this story has gotten brighter with this one update; I hope it continues to do so. Of course, I love drama and angst, but it seems we’ve been getting a heavy dose of that lately. Writing a little bit of happy isn’t so hard, is it Caseygurl? =P Despite all of that though, I am enjoying the pace. It doesn’t feel slow or dragged out to me. I like how you’re taking your time and building it up. Thanks for the update! I’m eager to read what you have in store for us — whatever it is I know I’ll enjoy it. =)
