Chapter 21

Spencer awoke the next day with a major headache. She rolled over the bed to look at the clock that was displayed on her bedside. It had read 6:30 A.M. she sighed tiredly. She couldn't get what had happened the night before out of her head. She felt so horrible for not telling Ashley the truth about her. She knew that today would not be easy, especially when the time came for her to talk to Ashley. 'Ugh! Today is going to be a really LONG day. I just hope that Ashley can forgive me. Oh hell! Who am I kidding? Of course she won't. I didn't tell her the truth. I can't blame her either, if I was her I wouldn't ever forgive me. But who knows, One can only hope.' With that last thought Spencer got out of bed and headed toward the bathroom before she was yelled at.

The rest of the Carlin's were downstairs enjoying their breakfast and talking amongst themselves. Glen and Clay were talking about school and Clay's 'Woman' troubles as Glen referred to it.

Glen: "Listen Clay, I'm telling you. You and Chelsea should totally do the deed while you have the chance."

Clay: "I want to get to know her first. I don't want to put any pressure on her by seducing her."

Glen: "Oh come one. Please don't tell me that you want to talk and get no action out of the date."

Clay: "Actually…"

Glen: "OK just stop there. See that's why you're still a virgin. You're all talk and no action."

Clay: " Shut up Glen and eat your breakfast."

Glen: "All I'm saying is that you should make your territory before someone else does."

Paula: "Glen! Not at the table."

Glen ignored the comment his mom had made and continued. "But before you do any of that make sure to protection. Hint Hint. You know what they say…Don't be silly, wrap your wily. Or of u prefer Don't be a fool and wrap your tool."

Arthur: "OK Glen that's enough. You heard your mother. Now it's time to eat. Someone go call Spencer."

Glen: "What! I was just laying down the facts. If Clay here wants to do the nasty I think he should be careful."

Arthur and Paula: "Enough!"

Clay rolled his eyes as he got up to go call his sister. Just as he was about to exit the kitchen he heard her coming down.

Spencer: "Morning."

Arthur: "Morning sweetie. What would you like? We have pancakes, sausages, hash browns, ham and eggs."

Spencer: "I'll get it thanks."

Paula: "Spence, can you bring in the orange juice please."

Spencer: "Yeah, sure. Anything else?"

Paula: "No that's all thank you."

As Spencer set everything on the table, she pulled out her chair and sat down with a humph.

Paula: "So who would like to say grace?"

She looked at over at everyone but no one volunteered.

Paula: "Ok well if no one will then I guess…"

Spencer: "I'll do it."

Arthur: "Thanks sweetie."

Glen: "Ya just don't mention any lesbian things, of course I wouldn't mind but hearing about the things you do is just gross."

Clay: "Shut up Glen!"

Arthur looked over at Glen and gave him a glare that said 'shut it of you're grounded'

Glen: "What! I was just saying."

Arthur: "Glen not another word or you're grounded."

Glen: "But…"

Spencer: "Someone shut him up before I do."

Glen: "I'd like to see you try."

Spencer: "Well just let me go over there and I'll shove this fork down your…"

Paula: "That's enough you two! Glen let your sister say grace or as your father said you will be grounded. Spencer, say grace now."

Spencer gave Glen one last glare before saying grace.

All the Carlin's held one anothers' hand and bowed their heads.

Spencer: "Thank you for giving us another day to live and for the food. For everyone being here today and for everyone's well being. For the great friends that we have made and the not so great encounters, but as one says, everything happens for a reason. Amen."

Carlins': "Amen."

They all dug into their food that their father had deliciously cooked. Spencer looked up at everyone and smiled to herself at how peaceful they all were and how a long way they had come. From how dysfunctional everyone was when Spencer first came out to everyone and now how happy (kind of) and peaceful. Things really have changed. But the thing Spencer wasn't so sure about was if it had changed for the best. By the end of the day she would find out. After she spoke to Ashley about the night before.
