*What if Spencer and Mary-Drake are soul mates? One-Shot unless asked to continue: Takes place right after Mary tells Spencer her story
Spencer: "I spent time in Radley too you know, No one believed me either, I was always the black sheep too" I say, There was something about her I was drawn too I can't place this feeling
"Being the black sheep leads to a lot of darkness" Mary says
"Yes, it does, but us dark people sometimes have the softest side because we know what it's like to struggle" I say trying to empathize with her.
"So why did you end up in Radley?" She asks curiously.
"Well at first it was because my boyfriend at the time, well someone had faked his death, I just couldn't cope, I kept telling everyone he was still alive no one listened and I had a psychotic break, Checked myself in. I tried to kill myself once too" I say
"I'm sorry, that had to have been rough, I had a few suicide attempts myself, I know what it's like when no one will listen to you" Mary says tears welling in her eyes
I went against my better judgement and pulled her into a hug, I was surprised when she hugged me back with such emotion.
"No one ever touches me" She whispers crying
I squeeze her and take her hands
"Look, I may not know you very well but I feel for what you've been through and I really do care about you, Consider me your new friend" I say wiping the tears from her face she holds my hand to her cheek.
"Why are you being so kind to me?" Mary asks, I can see so much softness and hurt in her eyes, Maybe she wasn't all that evil but just misunderstood
"Everyone deserves a chance" I whisper looking deep into her eyes, she cups my face in her hands, there's something so sensual about them on my skin, I don't understand
Our faces moved closer, I felt myself involuntarily make the same puppy dog eyes she was.
Our noses brushed together, then our lips met and all of a sudden we wrapped our arms around so tight around each-other, like a battery that was freshly put into a device.
It was the most tender, deep, passionate kiss I'd ever had with anyone, I couldn't explain it but there was a magnetic attraction I'd never felt with anyone before my heart was fluttering, I could feel hers beating fast too
Our lips parted our eyes met, we both looked at each-other awestruck, Somehow we had fallen so deep in love with each-other in a matter of minutes.
"Why don't we get out of here? Come on I'll buy you a cup of coffee" I say softly smiling softly
"Are you sure you want to be seen in public with someone who has my background?" Mary asks looking down at the ground
I tilt her head up and look deep into her eyes "I've never been one to care what anyone else thinks about who I spend time around, your background doesn't scare me off" I state
"Well then that would be lovely, as I said before I'm never one to turn down caffeine" Mary says smiling
"Shall we go then?" I say taking her hand leading her towards the door.
I lock up and start to walk up the street but she stops
"Thank you for being so nice to me, no ones ever been this kind to me" She says
I pull her into another hug "You don't need to thank me.. And anytime you need a hug you can come find me okay?" I say smiling I squeeze her holding back tears
I place my hands on her shoulder and kiss her on the cheek she looks at me softly but shocked I feel her grab my hand and squeeze it gently
"I care about you too" She says softly. With that we walk down the street hand in hand
The age difference almost felt wrong but yet it was so right, somehow I have this feeling like we're destined to be together, It never felt this good or right with Caleb or Toby.
Speaking of Caleb I'll tell him later well not that it's Mary, I want to see where things go with me and Mary first first, he's been acting so distant lately I'll let him down gently
I never thought I'd be with a woman but here I am walking down the street with Ali's mom's identical twin, With the lovely Mary Drake and I wouldn't have it any other way
I see now there was a reason I let her in the door to my house, more than just wanting answers about things I sensed a connection from the beginning
There's so much we have to give each other, we understand each other on a level no one else ever could, and when the time comes I'll come out and be proud to call Mary my girlfriend, I don't care what anyone else thinks and I mean that, I'm in love with the most amazing person.
