SPENCER'S P.O.V

Spencer walked into the house and was immediately greeted by her yelling mother…

"SPENCER MARIE CARLIN!" her mother shrieked, "Where have you been?"

"You know damn well where I've been mom so don't even play the protective worried other card."

Spencer was then rewarded with a slap across the face for that comment. She could feel her face getting hot and the tears building inside of her but she refused to let her mother see her cry over this.

"I will ask again where have you been? You are two hours late!"

Spencer really wasn't in the mood to get slapped again so she responded a bit nicer.

"I was at Ashley's, we fell asleep, I'm sorry and it won't happen again." Shit! I think that was just as bad. I just told my homophobic mother that I'm late because I was off somewhere sleeping with my girlfriend. I probably should have gone with my 'I lost track of time' excuse again.

Spencer was snapped out of her thoughts by her mothers response.

"You're damn right it won't happen again, because I forbid you to see that girl again."

Is it really that hard to say her name mom? Spencer thought.

"You can't stop me from seeing her mom. I love her and she loves me and that's that. You just can't accept us, and I'm tired of trying. She loves me mom, which is more than I can say for you right now."

"Spencer I love you but…" Spencer cut her mother off. She really didn't need to here more of her mother's excuses, and she knew the big sin speech was coming again.

"Mom if you love someone unconditionally there are no buts, mother, you can't just say you'll love me if I do everything you want me to, that's not how it works." Spencer said seething.

Spencer turned to try to run up the stairs but her mother grabbed her arm and held her there.

"You will not see that girl anymore."

"I love her mom, you can't stop me from loving her, and you can't stop me from seeing her."

"This is exactly what I'm talking about Spencer. His girl has been nothing but a bad influence since we moved here. You've changed Spencer, and I don't like it."

"You know what mom, you're right I have changed and I'm glad. At least now I can stand up for myself. I am who I am mom, why can't you just love me for me?"

Paula tried to respond but this time Spencer broke from her grip and ran up the stairs. She slammed her bedroom door and locked it behind her. She slid down the door until she was sitting up against it. She started to cry and few tears escape until she said to herself.

"No!, I will not cry over her anymore. She's not worth it."

Spencer leaned back and fell asleep just like that against the back of the door. When she woke up t was about 8 o'clock. She remembered she was supposed to call Ashley so she crawled over to where she had thrown her phone before falling asleep and dialed Ashley's cell phone.

"Hey Spence!" Ashley said cheerfully.

"Hi Ash." I said sounding a bit groggy

"Did you just wake up?"

"Um yeah a few minutes ago." I responded

"Did you start packing yet?"

Ugh I really wish she hadn't asked that question, but she did! I really didn't know what to say considering in the psychotic woman I call a mother has anything to say or do about it, I won't need to pack.

"Umm no not yet I was going to but I fell asleep."

"Oh glad to see that thinking about a weekend with me is so entertaining for you."

"Sorry Ash, just a lot has been going on." I said with a light sigh.

"Another fight with your mom?"

Damn it she knows me too well!

"Yeah…"

Spencer debated weather of not to tell Ashley what her mother had said. She decided she wouldn't because it didn't matter what her mother said, she would always love Ashley, and she would always find a way to be with her.

"Spence, I know there is something your not telling me."

Again she knows me too well!

"Ashley, I really don't want to talk about it, so can we please just change the subject?" I pleaded.

"Fine Spence, but you know that I'll always be here for you, and you can tell me anything right?"

"Yeah I know Ash, I better start packing."

"Okay bye." Ashley said

"Bye," I said, "Oh and Ash?"

"Yeah?" Ashley asked.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Spencer." Ashley responded. "so much" she added but Spencer had already hung up.

Spencer went and got the suitcase she had hidden in her closet so that her mother wouldn't find it and put her on lock down with no possible means of escape to see Ashley. She placed the suitcase on her bed and proceeded to spend the next three hours packing everything she could possibly need and more. When she was finally satisfied, she re-hid the suitcase in the closet and collapsed on her bed, falling asleep in a matter of seconds.
