I Will Always Love You

Be A Hastings

Spencer's POV

When I got home it was late, my parents were going to kill me. I tried to sneak in through the back door, but my dad was waiting for me. "Where have you been Spencer" he said the second I entered the living room. "I was helping Aria unpack, she has just got back from Icela-" I started to say
"I DON'T GIVE A FLYING CRAP ABOUT ARIA" my dad shouted.

He stood up and grabbed me arm, and shoved me against the wall. I fell to the floor, and my dad stood above me. "If I say you come home at a certain time, you come home then. If I tell you do something, you damn right do it, okay" my father said coldly. "You are a Hastings Spencer, Hastings are perfect, you need to remember that" he says before heading upstairs. I pull myself up, and headed to me room. My right leg was in pain, and hurt to move.

When I got to my room I sat on my bed crying. I hated my dad, it's not my fault I am not perfect. But that's when I remember it is, I have it work harder, try harder, and do better. I have to be a Hastings. I looked at myself in the mirror, hating what I see. My stomach round, so I ran into the bathroom, emptying all of last nights diner into the toilet. Then I grabbed my sharpener, and unscrewed one of the blades. I held it in my hand, feeling the coolness of the metal made my heart pound. I ran it across my wrist, and I watched as the blood started to form. I deserve this, I am useless, worthless. No one will ever love me, not Aria. Not anybody. After about 15 mor cuts I stopped, I suddenly felt at peace, I felt relaxed. I put the blade into a small box, and hid it behind my mattress, then went to sleep.
I woke up the next morning feeling a wave of happiness, it was Monday which meant Aria's first day of school. I got and dressed, pulling a long sleeved jumper, then headed downstairs. I grabbed an Apple, then left for school.

Aria's POV

I felt strangely nervous about school, I don't know why, I knew everyone there. When I got there, I was heated with smiles and waves. Emily came up to me and hugged me, we started talking about everything that had happened over the year. Emily was the joined by Hanna, who also looked pleased to see me. "You look so good Han" I said, she did, she had lost so much weight. "Thanks, what happened to your pink stripe Ar?" Hanna asked laughing, "Well when you are trying to be yourself, and you don't know who you are..." I said, they both understood Ali changed us, turned us all into who she wanted us to be. But we had all found ourselves now. "Where's Spencer?" I asked confused, why wasn't she here? She is always here early. "Spencer, well she doesn't hang out with us any more" Emily said looking at Hanna with sad eyes. "What? Why? " I was confused. "When you left, Spencer became, well, a Hastings" Emily said softly to me. "She would work, all day and night. If she wasn't working she was running or playing field hockey. She would only ever talk to us during the break us between classes, and even that stopped after a while" Hanna said sadly, we were all so close, it hurt them that Spencer was ignoring them.

Spencer seemed fine yesterday, did I miss something?

Tell me what you think. If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them.
