She opened her eyes as best she could and then felt another sharp sting on her face when they rolled into the back of her head. She was dizzy, the room was spinning, she felt sick. Another sharp sting. She opened her eyes less then halfway. “Out.” She finally answered the vision in front of her slowly starting to blur.

“Out doing what?”

“Fucking.” Her head was released and she fell face first onto the floor. Her eyes tightly shut as she felt a wave of nausea sweep through her. A violent kick to the abdomen soon followed but she didn’t flinch or even try to defend herself for the second blow, her mother screaming the whole time. Calling her a whore. Another blow after that and she was alone in the living room.

“I love you so much.” Ashley held the blonde in her arms as she silently cried against her shoulder, the warm tears coating her naked skin. A pang of frustration ran through her. She was always making her cry one way or another. “I love you, too.” She murmured near her ear as her hands rubbed up and down her back. Her brown eyes landed on the bedroom door, she wanted to get out of there. The Xanax she took earlier had worn off and she needed something else. Her mind switched gears and she wondered how much money she had and who she can buy from downstairs- No, Spencer needed her. She couldn’t leave. “Lay down with me.”

Spencer removed her hands from her body. Ashley got off the bed and walked the short distance to the light switch. Turning off the lights, she moved back onto the mattress and got under the covers, covering half of Spencer’s naked body with her own. She moved up and took her lips in a gentle kiss. “Good night.”
