A Taste Of Life Under Heaven Ch2 Date: June 1st (Friday)

     Yep, so that's how the year went, Monday- Friday: go to school and barely hang out because of homework. Friday night: IcePlex, and on the weekends: random stuff between the trio. Most theme, AJ stayed the night at Spencer's or Ivy's on the weekends. Every once and a while, she would get to stay on a week night. The year wasn't that much of a life-loss.

     --Ivy's House--

     *phone rings*

     "I'll get it!" Ivy said jumping up.

     "Kay," AJ replied, not looking up from the computer.

     "Hello?... Oh, hey Spence!...Yeah, she is. Wanna talk to her?... AJ! Spencer wants to talk to you!" Ivy yelled, covering the mic on the phone.

     "Ugh... fine," AJ said while walking over to IVY and taking the phone,      "Yo, what up Spence-dawg?"

     "I'll talk only if you promise to never call me that again."

     "*sigh* Fine."

     "OK, but can you come over? Just you? I don't want Ivy to know yet," Spencer asked.

     "Why can't you just tell me n---" Aj tried to ask but got cut off.

     "Because I want to talk to you in person."

     "OK? It's not bad is it?" AJ started to sound worried.

     "It kinda is, but not because of you."

     "OK, you were worrying me. But yeah, I'll be over in a few."

     "Thank you so much AJ, you're awesome."

     "Yeah, whatever, bye," Aj wasn't known to take compliments in the positive way sometimes.

     "Hey Ivy, I gotta go. Spencer really wants to talk to me."

     "Is everything OK?" Ivy asked worriedly, handing AJ her shoes.

     "I hope. Bye," AJ finished, walking towards the front door.

     "Yeah," Ivy knew not to go with AJ, she just watched her walk out the door.

     As AJ jogged down the street towards Spencer's, she went through her mind of what could be wrong.

     A death? No, he didn't sound that bad on the phone. But he is Spencer, and he's strong. Maybe his parents? Friends at school? School all together? Oh god I need to get there.

     She broke into a sprint. Once she reached his driveway, AJ stopped to catch her breath. She peeked in the garage: no car. When AJ go to the front door, she let herself in. Spencer was on the couch, his head in his hand. He never noticed she walked in. AJ walked over and gave Spencer a small hug. He jumped.

     "Oh, sorry."

     "No problem. I never noticed you came in," Spencer replied, dropping his hand, leaving his head down.

     "Ah. So--- what's up?"

     "My mom is being a real jackass! She's making me---" Spencer started to explain, but got cut off by the phone, "Erg! Damn it! Stupid phone."

     "Stop. I'll get it," AJ said, nudging Spencer back down, "Hello?... Ugh, hi mom...No! I just got here!... No! I'm not! Spencer needs to talk to me!... Oh my god! I'm not trying to be sneaky!... I was gonna call you in like two minutes!...I don't care!... SO!?... OK! Fine I will!" *slams phone on charger* "Fucking mom. Blaming me for more shit again. Hey, I know it's last minute, but can I stay the might? My mom kicked me out for the night again!"

     "Yeah, I was going to ask you anyway later," Spencer said, looking up, "Mom's gone `till Sunday might anyway."

     "Nice, thanks. OK, so back to before The Bitch Queen called."

     "Hah. Nice one. But my mom is making me..."Spencer started...
