“ash…” she said looking at the sign then she held the rose

“Spencer Carlin…will you go to homecoming with me?” I asked her smiling then she smelled the rose and started to shake her head

“I can’t go…” she told me

“what? why not?” I asked her upset

“my doctor said it’s too much…” she said

“spence…” I said trying to beg her

“I cant” she told me “I’m sorry”

“it’s fine…” I told her

We started driving back to her house so I could take her home because her brother wasn’t there “we can still hang out homecoming night…” she told me

“no…we cant…” I told her “…I promised Katie and Aiden I’d go with them…”

“so you just hoped I’d say no?” she asked upset

“no Spencer…I was going with them regardless of whether you said yes or not, I just wanted you there with me but that doesn’t matter anymore” I told her

“why can’t you just come over with them?”

“because the past two weeks I’ve been your bitch Spencer…I spend every day with you and I’ve slept over at your house more than I’ve slept at my own…I’m not just someone you can boss around.” I told her

“don’t even say I’m bossing you around…”

“you are! It’s like you’re using this injury to your advantage, well newsflash Spencer…you wont be on crutches forever” I snapped at her as we pulled into her driveway

“why are you being such a bitch? I can’t go…that’s what my doctor said” she said getting out of the car

“because I can’t get bossed around anymore ok? I like you and you’re my girlfriend and I care about you so much, but not when you treat me like this…” I told her as she shut the door and I drove off, then next day her brother dropped her off at school and I ran into him on the way out

“what happened last night?” he asked

“she said she can’t go because her doctor said so” I told him

“it’s not up to her doctor, it’s up to her physical therapist, and he said it’d be a good idea if she went…to get out of the house” he said

“what are you talking about?” I asked confused
