Chapter 36: Southern Weather

Three months have gone by. Three undeniably happy months. With hearts warmer than the summer sun beating down on both Ashley and Spencer. Three months of sneaking, secrets, kisses, hugs, and the occasional thought of love. Three months of being together in total quietness, with no bothersome raging homophobic in the closet mothers.

Yes, Paula still hadn't known about them together but her suspicion had risen from the continuous absence of her daughter.

Three months of an understanding and loving father and sister, even brothers and friends. Arthur, Glen, Clay, Aiden, Kyla, and Chelsea were simply ecstatic that the two were together. Time after time they were told that they were meant to be, that they were adorable together, that they needed to get married already. Anything positive was told to the two girls from their loved ones.

The two were currently laying on the beach soaking up the sun's rays. They were enjoying the last few weeks of freedom. Time ticked and ticked away as unused now gone hours were thrown aside. They had been laying there in the presence of one another and to anyone else it would have seemed as wasteful time on the clock, but they were together and it was the time of their life. It didn't matter that they were just laying under the sun in total silence. Words needn't be said, the eyelid covered blue and brown have said so much hours ago.

The ocean's waves crashed, laughing kids ran by, cars came to a halt with screeching brakes, beach walking couples silently talked to one another, but Spencer and Ashley just laid there on beach towels with the sun warming them a tad less than the hand's lying on each of their abdomens.

Summer had been a blast even if they were hiding from Paula in any way possible. Question after question was asked to Spencer and lie after lie was seethed from her lips. She was getting fed up with keeping their relationship a secret from her mother but she wasn't ready for the reaction she was sure to get. She wasn't ready for the knowing words of hate, disgust, and no more loves. She wasn't ready yet she was frustrated.

Ashley was telling lies as well. She still hadn't mentioned Madison and it was eating away at her. She knew Spencer had the right to know who her first love was, but lies spat from her teeth as she said she'd never loved another. She knew it was wrong to say such a thing but she couldn't tell Spencer because it would lead to her cutting, drug use, meaningless sex, and alcoholic ways and she didn't want Spencer to feel like Ashley wasn't good enough. She couldn't lose the girl whom she was indeed falling in love with. She couldn't lose another love.

Things had been unusually calm but soon things were bound to crash and go out of control. This calmness was indeed a settling for a storm to come. The question was when was this storm to hit.

Droplets of cool rain began to fall from the greyed skies as beach people gathered up their belongings and ran to their vehicles.

Ashley flinched as the first drop of cool rain hit her forehead. Seconds later another hit her chest. She looked up to see the greying sky and turned her head to the not bothered Spencer.

Ashley: "Spence, we should go it's going to storm."

Spencer: "I love the rain Ash."

Ashley: "Are you sure you are willing to get all wet."

Spencer opened her eyes turning her head and smiled at Ashley.

Spencer: "You do know you just said something very dirty?"

Ashley: "No. Sorry?..." Ashley smiled. "But come on Spence let's go."

The rain began to come down at a faster rate making dampened punctures into the soft sand. Spencer rose from her place and gave Ashley her hands to help her up. The rain pedaled faster and faster onto their faces, shoulders, backs, and chests. Spencer smiled at the shiver and worrisome look on her girlfriend's face.

Spencer: "Are you scared?"

Ashley: "Of...of course not."

Ashley bit her lip and looked at the stormy sky and saw the lighting of the greyish clouds knowing it was lightning. A bolt of light that could strike you and possibly kill you. She closed her eyes and whimpered when she heard the thunderous roar and felt the shaking of the earth.

Spencer: "I think you're scared babe."

Ashley: "I'm not. I'm not."

Spencer: "Do you want to go? We can leave if you're scared."

Ashley: "No. We can stay. You like the rain and thunderstorms, so we can stay."

Spencer: "Are you sure? I mean we don't have to.."

Ashley leant forward and pecked Spencer softly on the lips shutting her up.

Ashley: "I promise babe."

Spencer smiled and kissed Ashley on the lips and the rain continued to fall around them. Rain, thunder, and lightning could be seen, heard, and felt and the girls continued to mess around thinking that this rain was symbolizing a new beginning or the washing away at the past. They were thinking that the rainbow that was soon to shine was going to mean happiness. Little did they know the storm was just beginning. The roars, the lights, the bitter cold was going to mean something else. But what exactly was this storm that was soon to hit going to mean?
