The Night We Met

Chapter 1

It's time I am finally back home. Living in Portland, Oregon was fun and all but there was only one person that I really missed and that was, Stacey was the one who I truly missed she was my sister and best friend I guess some can say that I have the best of both worlds.

"OMG there she is," she said with a huge smile

I have never hugged her for this long I've missed her so much. The smell of her Delilah perfume from bath and body works and her long silky black hair just reinsured me that I was finally home.

"Hey I missed you so much I'm glad to be back home" I smile as I grab my bags

Walking in the airport I couldn't help but wonder how this new college will be. Will I like it better than being in New York? Will I miss my dad back in New York even after everything that happened? I was asking myself so many questions, I Was starting all over again and not by choice because I loved NewYork it was just too much-

"Heeellllloooooo earth to Aspen" Stacey waves her tiny hand in front of my face

"Y-yes I'm here just zoned out for a bit....sorry," I said quietly looking down at my hands.

"Girl, I just got you back don't go getting lost in your imagination just yet okay." She smirks and walks off. As we got into the car I wanted to know everything I wanted to know what I missed after spending a whole semester in New York. A lot can happen at that time.

"So what have you been up to Stace how are you and.."

"Emerson, we're good just been taking the relationship one step at a time" she smiles I really didn't understand what she meant by that because they have been together for quite some time now what was going on.

"What do you mean by that exactly," I asked hesitantly 

"I don't know Aspie things with him now seem kinda...forced in a way" she shrugged her shoulders. 

"Why"

"It's just the whole connection with our families it seems like one little slip-up and..."

"The wrath of mom" we both say and laugh at how well we know each other. 

"Yeah I get it, but as you have always told me it's your life so live it the way you want." I smile and she grabs my hand and squeezes it tight. 

"That's my girl" she smiled. On our way home we and talked and talked and talk about everything I've missed this. 

"So tell me, Aspen what have you been doing in New York how's dad," She asked and looked at me.  I didn't want to tell her why I left or in better words why I got kick out of school there so I tried to change the subject.

"Umm you don't want to know about my life it's boring, tell me more about you" 

"No Aspen you're trying to change the subject, plus I already know."

"So then why do I have to tell you?"

"Don't be a smart ass" she laughs

"You know what it's fine if you don't want to talk about it it's fine." I look at her and smiled. She knew my situation and why I didn't want to talk about it. Stacey of all people knew that when it came to our dad I had a difficult time discussing our father-daughter relationship which wasn't much. Financially he was there,...well halfway, but physically and emotionally he was absent.  Daxon McCalister the dad who believes his mistress over his own daughter. Dad of the year right?
