PREVIOUSLY: Paula: “Spencer, don’t walk away from me!!!”

Spencer: “No mom, when you kicked Ashley out…you kicked me out too.” she walked out the door slamming it behind her. Paula opened the door to see Ashley’s Porsche speeding off.

Spencer and Ashley were at the beach, sitting against the pier, just watching the waves crash on the shore, and holding each other. It was night time, and the only light was the light from the moon. Ashley, again, had her camera.

Spencer: “She tried to take my ring.”

Ashley: “I…I know it’s really hard right now, but believe me, she’ll have to accept it sooner or later.”

Spencer: “Yea right. I hate her. I hate her for throwing you out, for slapping you, for trying to keep us apart…I just hate her.”

Ashley: “No you don’t Spence. You probably want too, but you can’t. She’s your mother, and even though what she’s doing is wrong, in her own freakish-Paula-mom sort of way, she thinks she’s helping you…protecting you even.” Spencer looked her in the eyes intently

Spencer: “I love you. You just proved to me, that you are the bigger person.”

Ashley: “Ugh, oh my gosh I can’t believe I just took up for her again!” she shrieked Spencer giggled.

Spencer: “We’ll be older soon, and then she definitely won’t be able to keep us apart.”

Ashley: She sighed heavily. “Wouldn’t it be nice.” Spencer noticed Ashley’s camera.

Spencer: “Why do you always have that camera, recording us?”

Ashley: “I like capturing our memories. I want to always remember these moments with you.” Spencer smiled and kissed her.

Paula walked into Clay’s room. H just looked up at her, rolled his eyes, and looked back down at the book he was reading.

Clay: “What is it mom?” He asked listlessly

Paula: “Clay, I don’t see why your so upset by this…what Spencer and Ashley are doing is wrong!” Clay looked at her in disbelief

Clay: “Mom, you’re just saying this because their a little different than you want them to be. You saying that is like saying it’s wrong for me to be black!” He said bitterly.

Paula: “No Clay, Ashley has a choice, and she chooses to go against the word of God.”

Clay: “And you hate her for it?” He calmly asked

Paula: “Yes! It’s wrong and immoral! And she’s trying to get Spencer to think it’s not.” Arthur walked into the house and heard yelling, he slowly walked up the Steps and heard the conversation. He peeked through the door and saw Paula and Clay.

Clay: “Mom Spencer’s gay! You either accept it, or you don’t accept her!!! And if you hate Ashley for being gay, or even anyone for that matter, then you too are going against the word of God, because the bible says “Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him.” You know what it means, but do you believe in it!?” he shouted. Paula slapped him, and he grabbed his cheek, looking at her in surprise. Arthur stepped into the room.

Arthur: “Paula you are going too far!!!” She just marched out of the room with tears developing in her eyes.
