Ashley, what did you wanna talk about spencer?

Spencer, ash I know you like me

Ashley, oh -I looked down at the floor-

Spencer, but I like you to Ash

Ashley, you do? – I smiled at her –

Spencer, yes ash I do A lot

Ashley, how come you have never told me?

Spencer, I don’t know I guess I have been scared or something I guess

– I looked over at her and she had a tear flowing down her cheek and I took my hand and wiped it away with the pad of my thumb-

Ashley, scared of what Spence?

Spencer, scared that if I did tell you and my dad found out that he would kill me or do something to me again

Ashley, spencer what do you mean by that?

-kyla yells- she mean he will hit her again-

– as soon as I heard Kyla’s voice I got up off the bed and unlocked my door and opened it and there was my nosey sister sitting on the floor with her ear up against the door listening to our conversation-

Ashley, did you ever think the conversation we are having could be private?

Kyla. Um no?

Ashley, god I hate you sometimes kyla

– I looked over at spencer. ~Hey spencer come on lets go for a walk~ when me and spencer left my house we walked out behind my house and up the dirt road we would always walk up when we went to school together. The first couple of minutes of the walk were quiet and then I decided to say something-

Ashley, spencer?

Spencer, ya ash?

Ashley, has your dad really hit you?

Spencer, yea once when I told him I was gay

Ashley, I am sorry spencer

Spencer, it’s not your fault

Ashley, we are best friends why did you not tell me about it?

Spencer, I did not want you to worry?

Ashley, right. Answering that more as a question then a response there Spence?

Spencer, yea sorry

Ashley, spencer would you ever wanna be with me?

Spencer, yea I do ash i have wanted to be with you for a while but-

-I stopped and so did she and we both looked at one another-
