Gravity

Chapter 25

As promised here's that chapter. Reviews for the last chapter were awesome. Keep them coming and I promise to have the next update up by tomorrow :) Enjoy.

I always feel better after I talk to my baby.

Well most of the time, we aren't fighting about things that seem so minuscule now.

This week has been amazing, as far as us talking. She's been like really making an effort to call and talk to me. And if she can't call she's texts.

Talking to her still makes me feel some kind of way.

Side eye.

Don't judge me.

Anyways...

We've talking all week and she's been great. Although neither of our parents will allow us to go see the other for this entire week of no school, we're okay. As long as we talk, everything is good between us.

Currently I'm on my way to Taylor's house with Madison and Jade to swim. Yes, they have been civil to each other all week.

Are you as happy as I am?

I'm really just happy to have my friend back.

"Spencer what'd your mom say when you asked to go see Ashley?" Jade asks me from the passenger seat, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Hell no." I say simply getting a laugh from both Jade and Madison.

"Can you blame her?" Madison asks looking back at me briefly before turning back to the road ahead.

"Not at all." I shake my head and laugh along with my friends. I knew my mom would say no when I asked her if I could go to South Carolina for the week to visit Ashley. But I had to try right?

We pull up to Taylor's house and all head inside.

"What's up, bitches?" Taylor greets us as we walk into the kitchen, where her and Gabby are making drinks.

"Where is your mother?" I ask Taylor pointing at the blender where she's mixing...something.

"Out." Is all she says and smirks—turning the blender up higher. "Oh Spence, you got company." She tells me stopping the blender nodding her head in the direction of the pool. I make a confused face and she just smiles. I swear for like ten seconds I thought maybe it could be Ashley. But then I realized that it couldn't be her.

Sad face.

I walk out to the pool.

"Carlin." Frankie says getting up from the lawn chair and walking up to me and wrapping her arms around me.

"What are you doing here Frankie?" I ask her as she lets me go.

"I distinctly remember you inviting me Carlin." She says and smirks.

"No." I say quickly. "You texted and asked me what I was doing, I told you I was going to Taylor's to swim. I never said for you to come." I say pointedly.

"Yeah." Is all she says and walks back to the lawn chair she just got up from.

"How's that an invitation?" I ask confused.

"You told me where you were going and secretly hoped that I would show up." She smirks as she sits down.

"You know..." I start, walking over and sitting down in the seat next to her. "...your cockiness is really starting to turn me on." I say in my best seductive voice.

She clears her throat and sits up. "Really?" Her voice an octave higher than normal.

I bite the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing.
