Decide? What decision needs to be made? She was supposed to love me not Aiden. My concerns about their close friendship were now coming full force into the spotlight and I couldn’t handle this.

“Then just decide!” I screamed at her wanting a clear answer for once. Does she love me? Did she ever?

“Oh god!” I gasped as I opened my eyes. I was having problems controlling my breathing and noticed that Ashley’s head was on my hand.

I quickly realized where I was again and remembered the terrible news that knocked me out of my senses. My brother was gone. Clay was gone. All the goodness that I once thought was in this world had been taken away from me from our family.

A senseless death over a stupid grudge. Anger built inside of me as I remembered the screams of the other students as the bullets were fired recklessly. I clenched my fists and wished that the cowards who destroyed everything were here so that I could hurt them right back.

Ashley raised her head and looked at me with tired eyes. She focused on my face and moved back slightly when she saw the anger in my eyes.

“Spencer? Are you ok?” She asked hesitantly.

“Get out.” I told her sternly.

“But…” She looked at me with a look of confusion as I glared back at her.

“Get out.” I repeated again still with clenched fists.

“I’m not leaving you.” She said refusing to move from the chair she was occupying.

“I remember what happened.” I said searching her eyes for her reaction. She flinched slightly probably afraid of what I was going to say.

“What do you remember?”

I let out an angry laugh and shook my head. “You and Aiden…I knew that something was going on…and you kept denying it over and over.”

“Spencer there is nothing going on between Aiden and me.” She said defiantly.

“Don’t…just don’t…I saw you two on that dance floor…his hands on yours…you couldn’t even look at me…”

“I was in shock Spencer…he just sprung all this stuff on me…I didn’t know how to react.” She cried throwing her hands up in the air.
