Spencer

I wrapped the blanket around me tighter, as I looked out over the ocean. The sun was just starting to poke over the horizon. The air felt thin, and cold. I didn't want today to come, I just wanted last night to last longer. I closed my eyes as I felt her arms wrap around me from behind me. I squeezed my eyes closed harder to stop the tears from escaping.

"Spence, it's time" I nodded, turning around to face her. I found her deep brown eyes looking into mine.

"Okay" I nodded, lifting my hand to her cheek, resting my lips on hers.

We walked back into the room, going are separate ways. She went over to the suit cases to finish packing, I walked over to the bed to change. She had laid out some clothes for me, I was reliaved they were just comfy baggy clothes.

"Hello?" she said into the phone, I sat down on the bed watching her.

"Okay thank you, we will be right down"

"Ready?" She knew the answer, we both did.

"No" she walked over, pulling up into a hug. I let my face be nuzzled into her neck. I inhalied her scent, I was going to miss her.

"Let's go" she grabbed our bags, and I turned off the light. I looked arund the room before I did. The memorys from last night came back to me. I smiled, closing the door behind me.

We walked out side towards the car. The man took our bags putting them into the trunk, and Ashley held the door open for me. Once inside I leaned against the side staring outside. Ashley reached over placing her hand in mine. I looked over at her pleading her with my eyes.

"Spencer you know I can't. This hurts me just as much as it hurts you. I love you baby, I wish things were different." I nodded, turning back to my window.

We were driving to the airport where Ashley would be boarding without me. Her dream came true, she was going to be a rock star. Ashley had worked hard trying to get picked up by a label, and now she was heading to them to start her career. After her father past away, I thought she was never going to pick a guitar up again, but she did. I was happy for her, I was.

"I guess this is where we say see you later" I nodded and just kept staring out my window.

"Spencer please look at me" I looked over at her with tear in my eyes, hers were dry.

"I love you baby, I'm going to miss you" She leaned in giving me a kiss, and a hug.

"I love you too Ash, be safe" She nodded, getting out of the car.

"Where to Ms Carlin?" I looked up at the driver.

"Home please" He nodded.

As for me I would go home and cry my self to sleep. Then wonder If Ashley is thinking about me. Pathetic I know, but she was the love of my life. I live with my parents, while I attend school full time. Ashley offered to pay for a place for me, but with her going to be gone all the time I wanted to be close to family. This way I could work part time, and save some money. I didn't want Ashley money, and refuse to let her get me anything. She tried to get me a car once, I didn't talk to her for a while. I wanted to buy stuff on my own, and didn't want to rely on her.

Once we got to my place, the driver help me bring in my bags. My father was in the kitchen with my mother. They handed me a cup of coffee, and my mother wrapped me in her arms. They knew how much this relationship ment to me, but also knew how much it is going to kill me to be away from her. Ashley promised me that once I am done school she would come home, She would open a recording company, and we would settle down together. My parents always told me to just focus on school, and worry about the future later. Down the road I would thank them, but right now I just want to be with Ashley.
