Things Happen

Chp 11 – Desperate people do Desperate things

Spencer grabbed her keys, as Ashley and Tia ran out of the dorm room. Heading for Spencers car “Spencer hurry up!” Ashley screamed. The blonde started to run. Quickly she unarmed the car. The three girls jumped into the car, the second the locks came up. Ashley was riding up front with Spencer; meaning Tia was in the back.

Putting the car into gear, Spencer pulled out the campus lot. She floored it all the way, till they hit the highway. Which, consisted of roads and trees? Nothing more could be seen for miles.

Ashley stared worryingly, out of the passenger window. Her mind going a mile a minute, wondering what could have happened. And having Peyton involved made her worry all the more. Before she left for college, Peyton was released from the troubled minds institute where he was placed after the attack. He seemed almost normal. Belle forgave her brother thinking he was reformed.

Continuing to drive down the lifeless highway, Spencer shifted her gaze to the beautiful brunette sitting to her right. She noticed that Ashley’s eyes were glazed over. Her brow creased, on noticing her girlfriend’s saddened eyes. Spencer had no idea how to comfort the slouched girl. Removing her gaze from Ashley, Spencer looked up into the rear view mirror at Tia. Whose eyes were brimming with silent tears that slowly trickled down her emotionless face.

A strange feeling washed over Spencer. A feeling she had no idea how to describe. She felt anger towards Belle, for re-entering Ashley’s life and coming into Tia’s because now that she had vanished, the two most important people in her life were sitting in her car filled with worry and both of girls wore such devastated faces. Spencer couldn’t believe how much one person had made such a big impact on her best friend, in such a short amount of time. It was not something she was happy about. Of course she wanted Tia to be happy, but Belle captured the previously strong and happy girl’s heart. And now Belle had vanished taking the strong heart she captured with her leaving a weak and sad girl behind.
