On the weekends we’d spend almost all of our time together just at eachothers houses or at the park since the summer was coming in. One night we were out just walking about town and it got quite late so I dropped her home before I walked home.

"You really shouldn’t have walked me back, now you have to walk all the way back on your own, even though we passed your house on the walk."
"Don’t worry about it, I like the walk." She smiled, I think she knew I was more concerned about her than I was the walking.
"Well be safe, and let me know when you get home. I don’t want my best friend being killed on my conscience." The corners of my mouth lifted up into a small smile. She just called me her best friend.
"Alright then Spence, I’ll see you tomorrow." Then we said our goodbyes.

I text her when I got home and let her know I was safe and all, I just couldn’t help but smile at the fact she called me her best friend. Maybe it was just a mistake though, what about her other friends? I had to find out, so I text her and asked.

Ashley: {"You called me your best friend. Did you mean that? X"}
Spencer: {"Of course I did, you are. It was quick happening, but you are. Xxxx"}
Ashley: {"You’re my best friend too. I’ve never fallen for anyone so quickly as I have with you, as a friend. X"}
Spencer: {"That’s exactly how I feel I’m goin to bed now, Goodnight Ash, love u Xxxx"}
Ashley: {"Alrite, Night Spence, love u too X"} So best friends eh? Cool.

Soon enough the end of school approached. It wasn’t just us breaking up for the summer, we had to leave this school and go onto another school until we were 18 if we wished, or we could go and work. I wasn’t up for working at all at the age of 16 so I opted for going to another school. Everyone was emotional at leaving and writing eachother letters and notes to put in their leavers books and year books. I had almost a book full of people saying their goodbyes to me, but I didn’t write in many peoples because truth is I don’t care for that many people so I’m not going to sit and write fake goodbyes to people I never cared about. The people I did care about I wrote a small letter and gave it to them, Spencer included. She said it made her cry and it’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to her. I didn’t mean to make her cry, but I meant every word of what I said. She took my book home one night to write in and gave it to me the next day, when I got it back I cried reading it, which I so wouldn’t do, but no one’s ever said anything so nice to me.

"My one and only Ash,
                                            It’s way past my bed time but I still lay here page blank (or it was before I started writing). I’m not having trouble writing because I don’t know what to say, but because I don’t know how to put into words the whirl of emotions I feel for you in my heart. The aim of this letter is not to make you cry (though that’d be good) or to make you laugh (though that’d be good too) but for you to know how much I love you. Somehow you have crept into my system so that I look forward to you everyday, your smile, your laugh, your voice and dare I say it even your kisses. There isn’t anyone else who has come into my life and changed it just as quickly, for the better, as you have and for that I am eternally grateful and in your debt. You have made the last two months so fantastic and easy. I’m not going to be sad that we’re not going to see eachother everyday anymore, nor cry because you won’t be picking me up every morning, because I have lost nothing; I have just gained a friendship that I will treasure forever. I refuse to lose contact with you (I want you at my door every morning) because friends like you don’t come along often – you are so brilliant it makes me want to cry. With you I feel a trust and openness that I have with no other. Please always remember me. No one’s made me feel so happy, so loved as you have. I love you loads and loads.
 Your Spencer."

Oh Spencer, what are you doing to me?
