Ashley is sitting on my bed working on a book report for our English class when I walk up behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist. I see her smile as I kiss her neck and I feel her shiver. "I love you Ashley" I whisper in her ear. She turns her head and smiles before our lips meet in a passionate kiss. All of the sudden my mom walks in and see us.

I’ll sing it one last time for you

Then we really have to go

You’ve been the only thing that’s right

In all I’ve done

"Spencer!" I jump when I hear her yell. I turn and see her standing in my doorway with her stare casting right on Ashley. Ashley jumps up and stands in front of me. "Mrs. Carlin, look I love her." Ashley admits standing in front of me protecting me from the evil look in my mother’s eyes. "Love her? You can’t love her, She is not gay!" my mother’s voice gaining more and more volume. Ashley doesn’t even flitch and I feel safe standing in behind her. She was protecting me, she was taking all the blame for herself when I am just as guilty. I am gay and I do love a girl, I love Ashley.

And I can barely look at you

But every single time I do

I’ll know we’ll make it anywhere

Away from here

"Get out now!" my mother screams at the brunette standing between me and her. "No I’m not leaving without Spencer." Ashley says looking back at me and taking my hand. When she turns back around my mother reaches and slaps the love of my life right in the face. "MOM!" I yell as I hug Ashley. "Come here!" my mother screams as she yanks me away from Ashley and pulls me in behind her. "Leave now Ashley or I will call the cops. You have corrupted my daughter enough." she accuses Ashley. "Corrupt her? All I did was care about her and love her like she deserves." Ashley defends herself. "Leave now" my mother says one last time. Ashley’s head drops and she starts making her way toward my bedroom door to leave. "No Ashley!" I call after the brown eyed beauty. "Please baby don’t go." I plead with her as she cups my face in her hands. "I love you Spencer but I have to go for awhile. Your mom doesn’t want me near you. It is going to kill me to walk away from you and I need you to help me ok. Stay here and once I walk out that door don’t say anything baby. Let’s not make this any harder than it already is. I loved you the moment I saw you Spencer Carlin and that love will never burn out. This is just for a little while. We will be together baby. I promise." Ashley promised me. Just then I caught a painful look in her brown orbs before she turned and walked out the door and downstairs. I hear the front door close and I drop to my knees in tears.
