Chapter 2:

‘OMG!’ is all that popped into Spencer’s head. ‘I shouldn’t go but, I can’t lie about what she means to me. How she makes me feel. I’m tired of pleasing everyone else.’ she thought to herself

Now that Spencer knew she was going, the question was “How?’ The only person she can think of is Clay. As she walks down the hall to his room all she is hoping for is that he says yes and doesn’t ask any questions. “Clay can I ask you for a favor?’ as he is finishing something on his computer he looks up to his sister. Spencer is trying so hard not to show how desperate she is. “Sure Spence, you know I can’t turn you down. What’s up?” ‘God Clay your officially my favorite brother’ she thought to herself as she gave him he signature head tilt and smile. “Can you take me to the beach? It’s really important” she asks with a pleading sound to her voice. “Of course I can take you, but you know dinner is almost ready. Is everything Ok?” ‘Great here it comes’ she curses to herself for sounding too desperate. “Yeah, I know, but this is something that I need to do right now” ‘Please don’t push any further’ she pleads to him silently in her head.

“Ok, why don’t you wait in the car. I just have to save this and I’ll be right down.” she looks up and just smiles at her brother and leans over to hug him, thanking him with the hug for being so great. He gives his little sister a quick squeeze and pulls apart to look at her face “Are you sure Ok Spencer?” she smiles and nods “Yeah, I’m just glad that you’re doing this for me. Thank you, so much.” now she’s trying to hold back tears and thankfully he doesn’t notice. He just smiles and pulls her in for another quick hug, as they pull apart Spencer heads out the room and to the car while Clay just watches her and hopes that she’s Ok, he turns back to the task at hand on his computer and as he finishes saving his work he grabs his jacket and heads down to his car to meet his sister.
