Recap

Our girls had a majorly hott moment in the pool until some unknown male voice interupted them

   "How did you know I was here? Better yet, why are you here?"
   "Madison told me you took off with this dyke during lunch! So she told me where she lived so I could come get you!"
   "Glen! You had no right to do that. And dont use the word ‘dyke’ you know I hate that word."
   "I know. so why are you with one? You left this life in Ohio. Remember how everyone hated you? Remember all of that pain? huh, spencer? Do ya?"
   "Of course I do, but…but I wasnt  happy. And she accepts me, glen. She accepts me and likes me. I like her too. So screw everyone who says its wrong, I DONT CARE anymore. Got it?"
   "Ummm, Spencer. Not to be rude, but who is this dude?" Ashley gave Spencer a confused look.
   "Oh its just my jock-strap of a brother."
   "Ohhh okay then. continue." Ashley waved her hand towards Glen to say go on. He stepped up by the pool.
   "Why dont you leave her alone? She’s not like this anymore, not like you." Before Ashley could thnk of a smart-ass comment spencer had slapped glen across the face.
   "Now run along, go back to the queen bitch herself." She said while pointing to the door. He glared at the girls and left.

Spencer turned to Ashley.

   "I’m so sorry, He’s such a jerk sometimes."
   "Its..its fine. But Spencer, are you sure this is what you want? Are you sure that you can handle everything?"
   "As long as youre with me, I can handle anything Ash."
   "I just want to make sure youre positive."
   "Yeah, I am. But, tomorrow at school, can we..can we just keep it on the down low for a bit? I mean, I know glen will go off and tell everyone, but I dont want them to see it just yet." Ashley tried to hide the hurt in her eyes, she knew they werent going to be open at first, but it still hurt to hear it, yano?
   "Yea, of course Spence. Whenever youre ready just tell me."
   "Thanks, hey ash?"
   "Yeah Spence?"
   "How long have we been in the pool?" she said while looking at her pruny fingers.
   "Haha, obviously a bit too long."
   "Well we better get out."
   "K." Ashley got out and helped Spencer up and out of the pool. "Lets go get dried off, I should probably get you home huh?" spencer glanced at the clock on the patio. 
   "Yeah, boy I cant wait to get home and talk bout this with the family!" Spencer remarked sarcastically.
   "Just tell them Glen is lying because he’s mad you broke up wit Aiden. then tell them the rest of your own time, k?"
   "Thats a good idea."

The girls went and dried off and got dressed. They got in the car and headed off to the Carlins’. The rest home was just full of small talk and subtle glances whn they thought the other wasnt looking. They held hands over the console and Ashley rubbed her thumb in circles on spencers hand. She was trying to keep the girl as calm as possible because she had a gut feeling that Spencer would go through hell again at home. She tried and pushed that thought out of her mind. They reached the Carlin household and gave each other a quick hug and kiss on the cheek. spencer didnt want to make her parents suspicious so the plan would work. She’d tell them on her own time about her and Ashley. she was glad that Ashley understood that. She walked to the door and just as she turned the knob she heard her mother shout

"SPENCER WAS DOING WHAT WITH WHO?!"
