Gravity

Chapter 21

"I've tried playing it cool, But when I'm looking at you, I can never be brave, Cause you make my heart race. Shot me out of the sky, You're my Kryptonite, You keep making me weak, Yeah, frozen and can't breathe. Some things gotta give now, Cause I'm dying just to make you see, That I need you here with me now, Cause you've got that one thing. So get out, get out, get out of my head, And fall into my arms instead, I don't, I don't, don't know what it is, But I need that one thing." I sing along with One Direction as I jump up and down in my room.

"Your good mood is really bringing me down even more, Spence." Madison says flatly as she lies on my bed watching me 'perform.' Her and Jade still haven't gotten back on speaking terms. I know that it's really killing Madison.

"Well I'm sorry." I say but start back singing. Turning the music up a little more. "So get out, get out, get out of my head, And fall into my arms instead, I don't, I don't, don't know what it is, But I need that one thing, And you've got that one thing." I sing louder and jump up and down on my bed.

"Spencer get your ass off that bed, and turn that music down." My mom opens my door and yells to me. I sigh and fall down on the bed next to a laughing Madison.

"That's what your ass gets." She says still laughing. At least that got her to smile, first time I've seen that in over a week. I suck my teeth and roll my eyes playfully at her, scooting off the bed to turn down my music. "Do you think-"

"No." I cut her off, already knowing what she was gonna say. She'd cut down on the amount of times she called Jade everyday but ten times was still way too much. Even at school, while in class she would text Jade and clearly Jade was ignoring her. Madison didn't care though, she just keep trying, even getting her phone taken at one point.

"But-"

"No Mads." I cut her off again. My phone buzzes and I practically fly across the bed to grab it from the nightstand.

"Ashley?" Madison questions.

"Sadly, no." I reply. But don't worry. We've talked regularly since she sent me all those wonderful gifts. It took the entire week to eat it all.

Yup. I'm a fatass.

So?

….

Thought so.

Madison phone buzzed and she looked at it and sighed. Guess it's not Jade. "You get this?" She looks up and asks, waving her phone for emphasis.

"Yup." I say putting my phone back down on my nightstand.

"You going?"

"Nah." I shake my head and sit on the bed.

"Why not?" Madison asks.

"Cause you're in this total funk and I'm not gonna leave you to go to some party. It'll probably be lame anyways." I say with a shrug.

"Spencer you love parties." Madison points out.

"It's fine, Mads." I assure her.

"Nope. I'm not letting you miss a party cause of me. We're going." Madison tells me matter of factly.

"Madison you know..." I trail off, but she gets it.

You know, that whole best friend I can tell what you're thinking thing we have going on.

"I know, and I promise I'll behave."

"Okay." I say dragging out the word. "If you're sure." I get up from the bed and walk to the door. "I'm hungry, lets go get my mom to cook us something to eat." I suggest but she doesn't move. "Mads?" I question.
