Where did my baby go?
I wonder where she ran off to
I miss my baby so
I’m calling but I can’t get through
Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone’s longing to see her
Where did my baby go?
I wish that she would get back soon, get back soon

Maybe I was wrong and I ignored her for too long
And I didn’t even notice when she slipped away
Maybe while I lay fast asleep then out into the night she creeps
I’ll leave the light on so she’ll come back someday
Oh if you see her out there tell her it’s not fair
And that life’s just not the same when she’s not here

Where did my baby go?
I wonder where she ran off to…

Okay, seriously?! He has been playing that damn song for days. He’s been acting all weird and skittish too. I wonder what’s up with him.

She lightly knocks on the door and nothing so she knocks a little harder and hears some movement. Aiden opens the door after a few more moments and silencing the music. “Hey, how was your day?” he greeted pulling her into a warm hug so she wouldn’t see the sadness present on his face. “Okay I guess. Are you feeling okay, I’ve noticed the encore of this song over the last few days. Nothing’s bothering you is it?” He breaks the hug and turns into his office, back into the dark. “No I’ve just…I don’t know, I was just in the mood to hear this song. I hadn’t realized I’d been playing it so much.” “Oh okay then. You wanna go grab something quick for dinner. I’ve eaten already with Ash but if you wanna get something and hang out or whatever for a bit, maybe.” He turned to his laptop mumbling something about how he wasn’t hungry and didn’t feel like going out for anything because he had some work to finish up so she just left him to it and walked to their bedroom with a quiet goodnight.
…………………….

A few days later Spencer goes back into her closet to pull out ‘Old Faithful’. Ever since that day she takes it out at least once every other day. But today was different. Usually she just glances at a few pages and puts it back, but today she had something on her mind…

Dear O.F.

I didn’t mean to start writing in this stupid thing again but I can’t go to Ashley or Aiden about this so I’ll give you a shot.

After me and Aiden’s walk the other day he mentioned something about a dream. It freaked me out because that was the same night I had one of my ‘Ashley dreams’. I wonder if he knows. I wondered so much that it occupied my mind for hours, luckily Ash didn’t poke at me about it because it would have been embarrassing. Why? Well, lately I have been having more of those not so ‘friendly’ dreams about her. I know that Aiden likes to watch me sleep but I hope I haven’t led to him suspect anything other than a friendship between us. Because there isn’t an ‘us’.
