Ok so thanks for all the reviews and I'll probably only be posting a chapter a day. The chapters are kinda short I know so sorry ahead of time. Oh and the story is from alternate pov's. One chapter it is Ashley and then the next will be Spencer. Thanks again for all the comments.

Chapter 2

Hey, my name is Spencer Carlin, and I will be a freshman at King High. My father is a social worker, and my mother is a doctor. I have two brothers that are both seniors. Glenn, my biological brother, is an ass. He acts almost exactly like my mother. Clay, my adopted brother, is a sweet and sensitive. He acts more like my father. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you he's black. My family is extremely Catholic. Well, at least my mother is. She is literally drunk on The Bible. Glenn is like, her "little follower". I do have to admit my two favorite people in my family are my father and Clay. Call it favoritism, but I really don't care. They understand me and accept me no matter what. Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm gay.

I discovered this near the end of my eighth grade year, and finally accepted ever the summer. My father and Clay are the only people who know. I'm pretty sure if I would have told my mother or Glenn that I would have been crucified right on the spot. I haven't ever had an actual girlfriend. Yeah, I've flirted with some, but nothing more. My best friend doesn't know either. I'm pretty sure she would freak out on me. I mean I've known her all my life, but still this is a huge deal. Another reason she doesn't know, is because I'm in love with her. Yeah, I'm in love with my best friend. Words can't even describe the feelings I have for her.

I'm surprised she hasn't figured it out already. I mean, I make it pretty obvious. I'm always there to help her no matter what. I literally drop everything I'm doing, just to be with her. I don't know, maybe she thinks it's me just being her best friend. If she only knew that she means so much more to me than anyone in this world. I would give my life for her, and I would honestly do anything just to make her happy or to see her smile. I wish I could tell her, but I don't know how she would react. I don't want to lose my best friend that I've had for forever. I don't think I could take that kind of pain. I mean eventually I will tell her, but now is just not the time. She has been through too much already.

At the end of our eighth grade year, she caught her boyfriend and one of our close friends, Madison, half naked in her room. She won't tell you this, but I will. We both know the only reason Aiden dated Ashley was to get in her pants, and since she wouldn't let him, he ended it by sleeping with one of the easiest friends in our group. The whole summer all I did was take care of her, and pick up all the pieces. Finally, by the end of the summer, some of the old Ashley I knew and love started to shine through the previously depressed Ashley.

I really need to figure out what the hell I'm going to do about this. I can't keep this secret hidden from her for to much longer. I know eventually I'll slip up. Hell, I'm surprised I've made it this far without just grabbing and kissing her. I know the only two things I need to do: one, figure out a way to tell Ashley with out her freaking the fuck out on me, and two, getting past my excessively-hardcore Catholic of a mother and Glenn. I know my father and Clay will help, but this sure as hell isn't going to be easy. I'm honestly scared to see what is in store for my future. I just know somewhere in there fate brings Ashley and me together. I know we are meant for each other, but I don't think Ashley knows that. I guess whatever happens, happens. I know I can't change it, but only time will tell.
