Ashley quickly dropped her salad, turned on her heel, and headed straight for the furthest restroom. What had she just done? The whole school now knew her business and the whole school probably didn’t care. They probably thought she just got what was coming to her. Little did they all know that she really had loved Aiden with all of her being.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, AShley reached to bathroom located on the other side of the school. When she entered, she immediately ran straight to the corner and began to cry and sob uncontrollably. Her mistake? She forgot to check the stalls and see if anyone was in the bathroom.

While weeping hysterically, Ashley felt a light hand on her shoulder. When she looked up, she was shocked to see who was standing there. Spencer looked down at her with sad and understanding eyes. She seemed to know what Ashley was going through. Though she was ecstatic to see Spencer again, Ashley was petrified to allow her to see her in this state. She quickly sat up, wiped her face off, and straightened her hair and clothes.

Without saying a word, Spencer stood up and helped Ashley up as well. She gently guided Ashley out of the bathroom and towards the nearest exit. Once outside, Spencer led her to the parking lot and her car. It wasn’t anything special, but the 1997 Honda Accord seemed to fit Spencer well. Ashley climbed in without a word and allowed Spencer to drive her wherever it is they were going. She didn’t need to ask where that was, she just trusted Spencer to take her somewhere away from all of this…drama.

Finally, the two girls pulled up to an apartment complex on the other side of town. It was one of the nicest apartment complex in Ohio and only a mile from Ashley’s house. Still in silence, the two girls got out of the car and Spencer led the way to her apartment, 23B.

Once inside, both girls sat down on the couch. Neither said a word, they just sat there in a comfortable silence. They knew there was a lot to talk about, but they also knew they all the time in the world to do that. They were going to be the best of friends, they could just feel it.
