Chapter 17: Denied Truths

Spencer lifted up her head bringing her lips closer to Ashley’s. Ashley began to dipped her head to close the distance. Their lips were centimeters apart. They could each feel the other’s warm breath on their own lips. This only made the urge to kiss each other heighten. They closed their eyes and began to move their heads in…..

"Ashley! Aiden is here!"

Spencer and Ashley both grunted in frustration and Ashley crawled off of Spencer and off her bed looking back at her apologetically. She made her way out of the room to go get Aiden while Spencer sat on Ashley’s bed, thinking.

I almost kissed her. I almost kissed Ashley. A girl. Kyla interrupted us again and I’m mad, what does this mean? Does it mean that I am gay, since I wanted to kiss a girl? This is to much.

Spencer rose from Ashley’s bed and began to gather her things.

I can’t be gay. My mom would kill me. I can’t be.

Tears were just about to spill from Spencer’s eyes, when Ashley walked back in. She saw Spencer gathering her things.

Ashley: "What are you doing?"

Spencer: "I..(sniffle) I’m going home early."

Ashley looked at her wide eyed, since she was wanting to leave, but then her features softened once she realized the shakiness in Spencer’s voice and the apparent sniffles coming from her at the moment.

Ashley: "Are you crying?"

Spencer: "No,(sniffle) I’m not. I’m just (sniffle) getting my things."

Ashley: "You are crying."

Shit! Shit! Shit! I freaked her out. Ugh I am so stupid! Why did I have to do that?! 

Ashley quietly walked towards Spencer who had just lowered herself to sit on the bed. Ashley kneeled down in front of Spencer. She didn’t know what to do because she’s never had to comfort anyone. Raising a shaking hand she moved the hair that was masking Spencer’s beautiful face. She raised Spencer’s arched head and made her look at her. This is the first time that Ashley’s seen Spencer so lost and so scared. It completely broke her heart to see the tears flow out of her baby blues. It was like rain flooding the ocean, causing disaster, which is what Ashley knew was about to come. Ashley bit her lip wondering how in the hell she could comfort this girl in front of her.
