_{❝   soon enough,      we can both get out of this town for GOOD.   ❞        it wasn’t her family that she wanted to leave so desperately     (    in fact,      she wished she and her dad could pick up and move to boston with her mom as soon as possible,      but she knew it wasn’t that easy.     )        it was what this town had made of her and done to her.       ❝    what,    they don’t already have that set out for you?  ❞         the hastings family seemed like the type to have spencer’s entire future laid out for her as soon as she was born   —–   but she hoped that even if that were true,     spencer wouldn’t follow it.        she rolled her eyes,     shoulders shrugging.        ❝   it’s all connected somehow.       guess that’s how it works.     if it weren’t for piper being brandon james’ daughter,      we might not have had a rerun.   ❞      but she knew SHE had something to do with it too     (     even if piper would have found her way back here eventually.    )        a small smile tugged at her lips,     happy to hear that spencer would stay out of trouble     —-     or at least she hoped.        ❝   i don’t think i have room for anymore enemies.     i’d rather take the safe route.    ❞       even as a girl who held so many grudges,     she was ready to put that behind her.}

 _{❛    can i get that in writing?    ❜     husk deadpan was more rhetoric than anything   ———     ,   but FOUND COMFORT in knowing soon they could all ditch the place.   running from the ever abrasive people of whom raised her   ,   but promptly failed in both the physical and emotional support category.     (    they had their moments   ,    but trying to earn love from them when they’d never be happy with anything spencer ever did sometimes got EXHAUSTING.   )     ❛    god.   my mom is practically already scribing in my VALDEICTORIAN SPEECH.   she wants me to be some poster girl for  TRAUMA   ,   yet i have incompletes in almost every class.    ❜      tone made as though she really couldn’t be less interested in giving any speech at all.   at the beginning of last year it may have been important to her    ——-     ,    but after seeing so much bloodshed making it through senior year ALIVE seemed like a much greater achievement.    besides that   ,  far more compelling students seemed better suited for the job.   it felt faux   ,   especially considering still not having heard anything from any school yet.     ❛     yeah and maybe if kieran hadn’t turned into a pyscho he wouldn’t be our generation’s BILLY LOOMIS currently sitting in a jail cell right now.    ❜      she pointedly added   ,   said with no tact as usual.    despite still reeling from the killing spree    ,    she did feel a lot safer with him behind bars.     a single nod of agreement was given at next statement    ,    they really didn’t need more attention drawn to them.     ❛}      you’re right.   _{it’s better to be safe than sorry.    ❜}
