I hear the doorbell ring at 8:04am. Jo was here to pick me up.
"Morning Spence."
"Morning Jo." I lean in for a morning kiss, but not before making sure no one was around.
We got into the car.
"Jo, you know that I haven't come out to anyone but you, Ashley, Paige and Mikayla right?"
"Yeah Spence, I respect that. I can be there for you to tell them if you would like?"
"Yeah, that'll be great."
When we got to school, Jo held the door open for me. It was so sweet. I leaned in for another kiss.
"Last one before the end of school." I mumble as I pull her in to me by the collar.
"Yeah, let's make it a good one." Jo closed the gap.
We smashed our lips together in a fierce kiss.
As I pulled back, I opened my eyes and saw Ashley looking on at what just happened.
I smirked at her. She gave me the finger and strode away.
"Wow Spence." Jo says as she recovers.
"I know Jo." I sigh.
I stayed with her through the whole day. I couldn't stop looking at Ashley, who was staring at me when she thought I wasn't looking.
I kept thinking about how I always felt a spark with Ashley. Truth is I don't feel it with Jo.
Jo planned for Friday night to pick me up at 6 instead. She wants to meet my parents.
"Will you help me tell them on Saturday?" I ask as she drops me home after school/
"I sure will. But why not Friday when I pick you up?"
"Because all hell will break loose and we won't be able to have our first date."
"Oh, right. That makes sense."
I get out and head straight to my bedroom.
I can't get Ashley out of my head. Ashley was my happy place. I thought that after Ashley and I had sex for the first time, that she would going to be mine for life.
She was happy place.
Why did she leave me?
Where did my happy place go?
