"There has been a horrible car accident on interstate 70. Three people in a black Mazda were run over by a semi truck. The driver of the semi was pinned at alcohol levels twice the amount of the legal limit and had fallen asleep at the wheel. The bodies in the car are badly messed up to but cops recovered their license. The respected and highly looked up Mr. and Mrs. Carlin and one of their children, Clay, were in the car and have been pronounced dead at the scene."

I turn the radio off and look at Spencer. Tears are on the brink of falling. I reach over to her and pull her into a hug. She begins to cry hard which only makes me hold her closer. We stayed like this for a good while and I started to just whisper to her to try to get her to calm down. It seemed to be working 'cause she finally started to settle down a bit.

"Spence, you alright?"

She leans back a little to look at me. Tears are still streaming down her face slowly. II lift my hand up and wipe the fallin tears away.

"Why does it have to be my parents Ash? Why?"

"I'm not sure Spence… I'm not sure."

"Everything is ruined Ash. They protected me from Glen who hates me being gay, and everyone else. They loved me no matter what. They kept me stable and pushed me to be great. Now they are gone and I'm subject to everyone's hatred. They were the only people in this world who loved me for me. What I'm I going to do Ash?"

I just look into her eyes.

"You're going to be strong Spence. You're going to stay with me and Kyla. Your parents brought up this amazing girl who one day will have someone to love and be loved. Not everyone is going to hate you, 'cause I know I don't know what I would do without you."

Spencer just looked at me in shock.

"You mean that?"

"Yeah, Spence. You mean a lot to me." More than even I realize, but I'm just going to keep that to myself. I look over to her and she has a smile on her face. The only one I'm probably gonna get to see for a little while.

"Can I really stay with you and Kyla though?"

"Oh yeah totally as long as Glen doesn't fight it."

"He can do that?"

"Yeah. He is the oldest in your family and he can control what you do now."

"Wow" She leaned back into her set. "This is so messed up."

"I'm really sorry Spence." I take her hand into mine and give it a light squeeze but don't let go. I want her to know I'm here for her.

"Can we go to the hospital? They are probably expecting me and Glen there."

"Sure." I go to let go over her hand but she won't let me.

"Please don't let go of me" she whispers on the brink of crying once more. I nod my head and start the car up once again and head off o the hospital.

We get out of the car and I continue to let Spencer hold my hand. When we arrive to the doors, we are automatically greeted at the door.

"Spencer we were hoping you heard on the new and would come. Your brother is already here in the lobby waiting on you."

"Thank you Dr. Sharon." We walk into the lobby to find Glen anxiously pacing around the room. I guess he caught saw us 'cause he stopped pacing and walked right up to us.

"What the hell Spencer?"

"What?"

"Why weren't you here sooner? Quite being a dyke and holding her hand. Fucking lesbians." He grabs our wrist to separate us. "You can leave now. I can take care of my sister." Spencer was not kidding when she called him an ass hole.

"Uh no. I'm not leaving her with you."

Glen's eyes got really big. I must have pissed him off. I go back over to Spencer and grab her hand once again. Glen starts to walk over but thankfully his name was called.

"Glen we need you to come with us. Spencer will come back for you in a few minutes." Spencer nods her head towards the doctor.

"You alright? He's a jerk."

"I know. I really don't want to go home with him."

"You don't have to. I'll take care of you."

We sit in two chairs next to each other and she rests her head on my shoulder. I could really get used to this. Not the whole death thing but just having Spencer next to me and needing me. I close my eyes to just relax and not long after Spencer is being called. She stands up to Dr. Sharon.

"Spencer, you ready?"

"Can Ashley come with me? I don't know if I could go alone."

"Sure that's fine. You two make such a cute couple." Dr. Sharon says.

"We're not together. We're just friends and she's straight." Spencer's words slide off. I stand up behind Spencer and we follow Dr. Sharon to the back.

"Spencer I know this is going to be hard but we need you to make a confirmation of your family. Can you do that for me?"

"Don't leave me Ash"

"Of course not."

We walk into the room with three bodies covered in a white sheet. Dr. Sharon removes the white sheet to reveal the first person. I can't help but look. Spencer burst into tears and Runs right into my arms. I rub my hand up and down her back to try and get her to calm down. I pretty sure this is not going to get any better. I just feel so horrible for her. They never made me do this part.

"Spencer we need a conformation. Do you know who this is?"

Dr. Sharon is trying to be patient but she looks like she can't wait too long. Without turning back around, Spencer mumbles into my shoulder.

"It's Clay." Spencer says tears still streamong down her baby blue eyes.

"Okay, two more."

"Spence just a little bit longer and we can leave okay?" She shakes her head in my shoulder.

I lift her up and move her two the second bed as Dr. Sharon removes the white sheet to reveal someone's face. Spencer slowly looks around to see who it is.

"It's my dad."

Dr. Sharon nods and covers Mr. Carlin back up like she did to Clay. We walk over to the third bed.

"Please don't take off the sheet. I'm know it's my mom… please I don't want to see."

"Spencer we need a conformation."

"I've seen Mrs. Carlin a few times. I've never met her but could I confirm it so Spence doesn't have to?"

"Sure that's fine as long as Spencer lets you."

"Spence, would that be easier for you?"

"You'd do that for me?"

"I know how much you love her. I want you last image for her to be of her alive, not lying on this metal bed."

Spencer smiles a little bit and nods her head. Dr. Sharon reveals the face and I look.

"This it's Mrs. Carlin." I hear Spencer just lose it. She has always been strong. Stronger than anyone I know.

"That's all we needed."

We walk out to the lobby and some of the items recovered were handed to Glen and Spencer.

"Let's go Spencer." Glen says grabbing Spencer's wrist.

"Glen stop it!" She pulls back her hand.

"I don't want to go anywhere with you. You're back on those meds again. You different than the nice brother I used to have. I want nothing to do with the new you."

"You know what is different about me? It's not any medication you think I have. It's losing my friends and my reputation because my little sister is gay. You ruined my life. As far as I know you could have been in that car instead of Clay and I wouldn't give a shit. I'd tell them I have no idea who you were and that I am happy you were dead."

I run and jump and tackle Glen and start to beat him up. He must be on drugs if I can easily take him down. In less than thirty seconds two guards are pulling me off of a very bloody Glen.

"You ass hole! How dare you say those things to your sister? She deserves so much better than that from a older sibling. And her being gay shouldn't matter. You should love her no matter who she chooses to love."

The two guards let me go after I'm at least five feet away from him and there is a doctor helping him up. I grab Spencer and we leave to my car .We get in and just sit there. My adrenaline is rushing and I need to settle down. After about five minutes Spencer breaks the silence.

"Thank you Ashley."

"For what? All I did was beat your brother up."

"I know but what you said to him. It made me feel like you care more about me than he does."

"Spence, I do care about you. I want to be here for you no matter what and I don't want anyone to hurt you." She smiles at me. And my phone goes off. Kyla is calling.

"Hey Kyla what's up?"

"Have you seen the news yet?"

"Yes Ky, everything is okay and Spence will be staying with us for a while. We're about to leave the hospital but I'm going to take her to a special place if you don't mind."

"Yeah that's fine. Just be safe okay."

"I will Ky."

"Okay see you later."

"Okay hey Ky."

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I love you too Ash." I hang up the phone and start the car.
