She had just came out three months ago to her parents, and hadn't been home since. "Get out of my house you DIKE!" still rang in her ears. Soccer camp was her escape; thank god her parents had already paid for it. For the past 3 years it had been her escape, her home. This is where she met Spencer, her soul mate, and this is where they have been able to be completely alone from the world.
As they were in the lunch room, the atmosphere had been a little more hostile than the past week because the soccer camp now shared meals with the cheerleading camp. She and Spencer were in front of a few cheerleaders in line waiting go get some food. Ashley had kissed Spencer after a cute couple moment when she was set off.
"Ugh all these soccer players are such dikes! I can't believe we have to share a building with all them." and with that she was brought back to the night her parents stopped loving her. She banged her try on the line, causing a sound of explosion of other plates and silverware.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?" she said with such force the entire cafeteria went silent. "What the HELL is wrong with you?" the cheerleader looked at her with disgust,
"All I'm saying is I don't want dikes like you staring at me while I eat" Ashley squared up, coming face to face with the brunet bimbo. With that, Spencer and a councilor Shelby came next to her, telling her to calm down. She was shaking with rage, and a slight tear formed in her eye from the all too familiar scene. Afraid to let it fall, and knowing punching the girl wasn't worth leaving camp and not being able to see Spencer for another month, she looked the girl dead in the eye and said a stern, quiet, but powerful "Fuck You" and stormed away. Spencer grabbed her girlfriend's arm.
"Don't" she said angrily and with hurt in her voice. Spencer was left there defeated.
Ashley stormed out of the now silent dinning hall, the slamming door echoing in the building. "I will talk to her" Shelby said giving Spencer a hug.
She followed the girl out the door as the rest of the camps went on with the meals, the tension in the room palpable. Shelby walked out looking for Ashley and found her on the side of the building breathing heavily trying to control her anger.
"Hey" Shelby said "what's going on with you" she embraced Ashley as she broke down in her arms. Tears rolled down her cheek like rain on a window as both girls fell to their knees, one supporting the other.
"I don't know what to do" the girl said staggered as she sobbed. "Once camp is over I have nowhere else to go. My parents kicked me out, I can't stay with Spencer anymore cause it's too much stress on her school work. And my parents cut me off from all the money I saved, which was only like 400 dollars but I don't have anything" the girl completely broken now, and Shelby's eyes started to flood as she heard the story.
"Hey look at me" Shelby said as she pulled out of the embrace, "your gunna stay with me ok?' you are gunna come crash on my couch until we get you a job and enough money for you to have your own place." she embraced the girl again, "everything is going to be ok" and as if on cue, Spencer came to their side. Spencer tucked a piece of her bangs behind her ear and looked into the eyes of the girl she loved so much.
"I'm so sorry" the Ashley said starting to get some control over herself as she released her grasp on Shelby and took her girlfriend in her arms.
"Hey, there is nothing to be sorry for" Spencer said as she embraced her.
"I will see you guys after lunch" Shelby said as she stood up.
"Thanks Shelbs," Spencer said.
"Yea thanks" Ashley said with a slight smile.
"No problem" she said with a smile. "come see me tonight and we can start getting things organized".
"Ok" Ashley said with a nod. And with that the two lovers were left in each other's arms to comfort and love one another.
