Chapter Forty-Seven

Spencer opened her eyes and was still in the same position she had fallen into last night after Ashley had disappeared. She was so racked with guilt that she couldn’t find any strength to go searching for the brunette. She looked around the room to find it just as empty as it was the night before.

She stood and made her way over to the bed and lay down sideways staring at the door. Her eyes began to become heavy and they were slowly closing. Right before her eyelids shut the movement of the door caused her eyes to pop open.

Ashley walked inside the room and made her way to their closet. She disappeared inside and emerged with her outfit for the day. She never looked at Spencer as she made her way into the bathroom. Spencer quickly stood and walked towards the bathroom door but Ashley closed the door quickly and put the lock in place.

Spencer sighed and rested her head against the wooden door as she heard the sound of the shower begin. She let a tear fall from her eye and she made her way back to the bed. She waited for thirty minutes as Ashley finished up in the bathroom. She emerged with a cloud of steam following her body.

Spencer sat up and watched as Ashley made her way over to get a pair of shoes. She grabbed a pair and sat in the chair near the window. Spencer watched as Ashley slipped on the shoes and held her breath.

“Ashley?” Spencer said quietly.

There was no answer from the brunette and Spencer’s heart was pounding. She looked at Ashley intently trying to read her thoughts but was unsuccessful.

“Ashley…I’m sorry…believe me…” Spencer said again hoping Ashley would forgive her for her stupidity over the last few days.

Ashley stood and headed towards the door. Spencer jumped off the bed and stood in front of the doorway refusing to let Ashley leave.

Ashley stared at Spencer with a cold glare and Spencer could feel her body shake.

“Please we need to talk…please.” Spencer pleaded with Ashley.

“Spencer…move…I really don’t have anything to say to you right now.” Ashley said sharply never taking her eyes off of Spencer’s.
