Summer Relations

Chapter 12

The pic on the side is another pic of Spencer!

NATALIE'S POV

"You need to rest." Uncle Albert says when I get up to go to the bathroom.

He's kept me home for two days because I have a concussion, he took my phone, and he won't let me talk to the guys.

"Please." I whine. "Just let me talk to Spencer."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because he nearly killed you!"

"No he didn't!" I snap. "He was protecting me from the guy that kissed me!" I snap. "It was molest! The guys shouldn't have even be suspended!"

"Well they were! If Spencer hadn't hit him, you wouldn't have gotten hit."

"But he was protecting me!" I yell at him.

"Well he hurt you! You are no longer allowed to see him!"

Crying, I get up and run out of the house.

He yells for me to come back.

I'm already dizzy from running, but I press on.

I hear his car start up, and I dive in a bush.

I hide there for hours, until he comes home.

I get out of the bush at midnight and run down the street in my white tank top and red sweatpants, still crying.

I run fast and hide when a cop car passes.

I run through three neighborhoods, right to Spencer's house.

A police officer is at his house.

I crouch in a bush.

Spencer is pacing.

"You had to have seen her!" Uncle Albert says.

"I swear I haven't!" Spencer says.

He looks like he might cry.

Uncle Albert sighs.

"Stupid, I was so stupid! I shouldn't have said it!"

"Said what?" Spencer asks.

"I told her that she isn't allowed to see you anymore. We got into a fight. It was stupid. I should've known better."

"Well did you mean it?" Spencer asks.

"Of course not!" he says.

The cop that was at my house comes back here.

"I went everywhere you said and didn't find her." He says.

"Missing person yet?" Uncle Albert asks.

"Not yet."

Justice, Seth, and Gavin pull up, and so do my parents.

I'm silent in the bush.

Mom is pissed when Uncle Albert tells her why I ran off.

"Why would you tell her that? That isn't your decision to make!" Mom snaps.
"Well I'm sorry, who didn't show up at the hospital when she got hurt? You guys!"

"Well you're the one that leaves her alone to go sleep with women!" Mom snaps.

"Alright." Dad cuts in. "None of us are fit to be parents, clearly."

"I'm taking my daughter and moving to England." Mom says.

"No you aren't." Uncle Albert says in sync with Dad.
