Spencer’s POV

“She knows.” Ashley says pacing back and forth across her room.

I told her mom that I was single at the moment but my last relationship didn’t end well. After that her mom went on to interrogate Shane and what his been up to. We’ve been so wrapped up in each other that we have neglected everyone else. We haven’t discussed Ashley coming out to her parents or if she even will anytime soon. And I’m too tired to talk about it tonight.

“She does not. Please come to bed, I’m tired.” I say pulling the covers back for her to crawl in.

“I um…” She looks down at her hands. “I don’t think… maybe…”

“Maybe what?” I say sitting up, not liking the way she can’t look at me.  

“I’m going to sleep on the floor.” I can’t believe she’s letting one little question get to her.

“Are serious?” She doesn’t respond. “We were sleeping in the same bed before we got together, when we were just friends. She still thinks were just friends…”

“Does she?” Ashley asks looking at me now.

“Come to bed Ashley.” I say not wanting to argue. She doesn’t move from her spot across the room. “Fine, what if she knows Ashley? Will things change between us?” I ask realizing that we’re going to have this conversation now, rather than later.

“No! I jus…”

“That’s not true.” I say moving to sit on the end of the bed.

“Yes it is.” She say sitting in her desk chair.

“No it’s not.” I say looking down at my hands then back at her. “Things are already changing.” I say quietly. “You don’t even know if your mom knows and you’re already pulling away.”

 “No I’m not Spencer.” She says coming to kneel in between my legs. “I’m not. I just… I don’t know.” She stops talking and puts her hands on both sides of my face. “I’m sorry, I’m being stupid.” She gives me a quick kiss on the lips. “Let’s go to bed.” She says grabbing my hand and pulling me back on the bed.

I tried my best to enjoy my weekend but thoughts of Ashley keep popping in my head. Would she want to break up if her mom found out? Would she send her away? That’s what I thought about all weekend, today’s no better. Ashley and I are sitting on her front porch with Shane and his friend Trey. Trey keeps flirting with Ashley, making little comments about how extra good she looks today. It’s pissing me off that I can’t tell him to fuck off, because she’s mine. Ashley’s not helping either she’s just blushing and nodding her head when ever he says something when her moms around.
