Spencer's Pov. Please keep reviewing. I really apperciate it! I may be finished with this story soon so enjoy!

True love can wait, even if I haven't seen her for 3 days. She went home yesterday and I wasn't even there! My mother took my cell phone, she sent me to my room and now, I'm sitting here, on my bed in boxer shorts and a blue tee shirt refusing to join her for dinner. I don't care if the rest of the family will be there. As long as she's down there, I'm staying up here.

"Spencer, honey, are you sure you aren't hungry?"

"Yes Dad." Leave me alone, I'm moping! Not even he can get that.

"Spencer, please? Starving yourself isn't heathly or going to help. Why don't you just come down with us? I made your favorite!" I sigh. He isn't going away is he?

"Fine. But if she says anything, I'm leaving and not eating until she's gone." I shuffle out of my room, arms crossed. I'm not happy to say the least.

"Hey Spence! Glad you decided to come down."

"Finally! Are you done moping?!" I like Clay better.

I take my seat and Glen and Clay's mother begins to pray.

"Thank you God for the food we are about to eat. And thank you for bringing our family together to share this time. Please guide us through our life and help us see our mistakes. Help us realize that our family is always there to love and help us fix them..." Yes, I'm sure this really has to do with picking which ontray we want."... Ahmen."

"Ahmen." We all begin reaching for different food, Glen and I fight over the last roll. He's had 4, I've had 1. "It's practicly a tie", this is why I like Clay better. Dad and Clay discused his studies and Chelsea then mother joins in. It's only half as bad as I thought it would be. Oh wait, my mother is starting to talk. This most likely will make things worse.

"I'm just glad that we could all spend tonight together. No work or school or girlfriend getting in the way." I caught that the last word wasn't plurred. Instead of the three girlfriends that the Carlin kids had, it ment the one that the daughter had. I set/throw my silver wear down.

"I though you were finally okay with this mom! You know what? Ashley was right! It's all an act! You pretent to except me, but you're just "tolerating" Ashley. You just can't except that we're in love!!" I yell through the tears that are slowly rolling down my cheeks.

"What I that girl doing with you, Spencer, it was disgusting! My daughter can't be gay! That girl is forcing you to do things and you're just a victume! Spencer, it okay. We're here to help you sweetie. To help you get better."

"How, how could you say that? Ashley... would never..." My voice is a squeek. And then the rage mixes with the sadness. "Atleast she loves me for who I am!" My voice breaks. It drops and I choke out in a whisper. "Unlike you." And I can't sit here anymore. Glen has food hanging out of his mouth. Clay looks freak of what Mom might say, same as dad. And mo- Paula just looks shocked and angry. Once again I need to just run away.

I stand up and start to leave. I don't need to say where I'm going. They all know. I don't care if I have to walk. I don't care what they'll think.

True love can wait, but it shouldn't have to.
