ADDICTION~~~(COMPLETED)

Chapter 1

Emily

"She's going to snap out of it eventually"

"It's been two years Aria!" Hanna yells

"I know bu-"

"No buts, Hanna's right, Spence has gone to far. I get it she's strongly affected by Alison's death but so are we" I say

"This is her way of coping"Aria sighs

"Getting drunk and high, being with different men all the time. That's her method of coping?"

"I didn't say it was a good one" Aria mumbles "We have to talk to her"

"We've tried Aria, the only person she listened to was Toby, and we lost him, after his mom was killed he joined Spencer in her ways. There's nothing we can do"

Spencer

"Hey spence you wanna share those?" Toby laughs as I down these pills

"Get your own Cavanaugh" I smirk

"Get a room!" Noel yells

"Says you. You're the one fucking a new girl every night"

"Don't judge. You're on the same path I am"

"Touché" I smile

Mom: are you coming home for dinner?

"I have to go"

"Aww, why?" Megan whines

"My mom"

"Since when do you listen to your mom?" Brad asks

"Since i haven't seen her in a month. She's trying" I shrug

"Well you know how to find us" Noel smiles

"Yup, just follow the stench of alcohol and skunks" I tease and he shrugs

-------

"Spencer. Oh my god it's great to see you" my mom gushes when I walk in.

"Yea" I mumble

"Your sister is coming tonight"

"Great" I groan

Melissa and I don't get along. She tries to but I don't like her. She's happy about Ali's death. She only acts like she's sorry to be nice to me, but I know she doesn't mean it. I hate fake people, and I hate the fact that people are so easy to dismiss the fact that Alison was murdered.

"Wanna help me with dinner?"

"No thanks" I say as I storm upstairs to my room "God it's so preppy" I gag as I look around

Looking at who I used to be and who I am is totally different.

When Ali was here, my life was simple, I knew what I wanted. But without her I feel confused.

School, hobbies everything just feels different.

------
2 hours later

"Spencer. It's great to see you here" Melissa smiles

"Yea" I mumble, sitting at the table

"So what have you been up to?"

"Stuff" I shrug as I eat.

"Well I have been doing an internship in London. It's great" she smiles

"Great"

"Come on Spencer" my mom sighs

"Fine. That's totally great Melissa. I'm so happy for you"

"I don't want your fake congratulations"

"I didn't want your fake sympathy when Ali died but that's all you gave me so" I shrug.

"Spencer!" My mom gasps

"I don't even know why I bothered to come here in the first place" I groan as I stand up from my chair and walk to the door

"Spencer sit down."

"No thanks"

"That's it! i can't take it anymore Spencer. you are so moody at times and other times you're a different person. I get you lost your friend but it's been two years, time for grieving is over. you are so unpleasent to be around. you have so many people running around in you and we never know which one is coming down to dinner!" my mom yells as she follows me outside

"whatever" i shrug as I pull out a cigarette from my pocket and put it between my lips

"whatever?! What has gotten into you? you are not the girl i raised" she yells

"no, i am not! and i won't be. the sooner you wrap your head around it the better!" i yell back as i light the cigarette between my lips.

she grabs it and throws it on the ground

"what the hell?!"

"you will not smoke here!" she says sternly.

"fine then" i walk to my car

"Spencer don't you dare leave this driveway!" she yells

I slam my car door shut and drive back to the only place I feel comfortable

"Why are you back so early? Dinner went bad?" Noel asks

"I don't want to talk about it" I groan as I sit in the step, Toby is soon by my side with a beer and I down it within minutes.

My life
