SPENCER'S P.O.V
I knew mum was going to be all awkward and embarrassing when she found out.
I'm just glad that dinner's over.
"Is your arm hurting?"
"No it's fine"
"Is there something else bothering you, you've gone all quiet?"
"No Spence i'm fine really..."
"I love you Ash"
"I love you to Spence"
We're sitting face to face on two lounge chairs by the pool.
"So everyone knows now?"
"Yer mum's going to be really annoying now..."
"She just cares about you Spence"
"Yer I know"
"So the whole coming out thing hasn't been as bad as you thought it was going to be?"
"Yer I don't know why I was so worried"
"Well it's not the easiest thing to tell someone..."
I lean forward brushing my lips over hers.
"Can I talk to you two for a second?"
"What's up Glen?"
I can tell Ashley's not impressed he's here.
"I just feel horrible Spencer. I should have never acted the way I did"
"Glen I came to you because I thought you'd understand"
"I know Spencer, I was just surprised and I said some things I didn't mean"
"I don't want to fight with you anymore"
"Spencer I don't want to fight with you either"
"Can we just forget these last few days and how much of an ass i've been?
"I'd like that Glen..."
I hop up, pulling him in for a hug.
He's been an ass all week and as much as I want to hate him for the way he's been treating us, I can't, he's my brother.
"You promise you want be an ass anymore?"
"Can I promise you I want be an ass about the gay thing instead?"
"Yer I'll take whatever I can get..."
This cruise is like one really long therapy session for me.
"... you need to apologise to Ashley"
"I know"
She's pretending like she's not paying attention.
"Ashley can we talk?"
"I'm kind of busy Glen..."
She's not going to make this easy.
"Look Ashley I just want to apologise for the way i've been acting"
"Glen do me a favour and save your apology for someone else..."
"Ashley can you please just hear him out?"
"Spencer i'm not going to sit here and listen to him spin some shit about being sorry"
"Ashley he's my brother..."
"I know that Spence and I want you two to be okay again..."
"What about you and him?"
"There is no me and him, we're done"
"You don't mean that Ashley"
"Yer Spencer I actually do"
She has every right to be mad, but she's being unreasonable.
"Ashley I had no right saying the things I said to you..."
"Glen I don't want to hear it"
"Can you please listen to him for me?"
I love her and I don't want things to be weird when he's around.
"Spencer you only heard part of what he said to me and if the situation was reversed you wouldn't forgive him either..."
"The situation was reversed Ashley"
He treated me like shit as well.
"If Kyla called you a slut and told you to stay away from me would you be happy?"
"Of course not..."
"Then why are you asking me to sit here and listen to his bullshit apology?"
"Because I want things to be alright between you two"
She hops up out of her seat.
"They're not going to be alright Spencer"
"So you're just going to ignore him whenever he's around?"
"Yer that's exactly what I plan on doing..."
"Ashley i'm not okay with that"
"I'm sorry Spence I don't know what you want me to say"
"I want you to at least hear him out..."
She's so fucking stubborn some times.
"So you're just going to push him away like you did with me?"
I didn't mean it to come out like that.
"SPENCER YOU PUSHED ME AWAY, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND..."
"Ashley I don't want to fight with you about this..."
"It's a little too late for that don't you think?"
"Ashley I just want us all to get along"
"That's a bit hypocritical don't you think?"
Why's that hypocritical?
"Excuse me?"
"Spencer i'm best friends with Madison and you fight non stop with her"
"That's different"
"How's it different?"
"Madison and I have never got along and us fighting has nothing to do with you and me being together"
"So we're meant to be together, aren't you meant to at least try and like my friends?"
"I am trying..."
"No you're not"
"This is different Ashley. You and Glen used to be friends"
"Yer we 'used' to be friends Spence and then he told me what he really thought of me... I'm leaving"
"Ashley i'm not going to let you storm off every time you don't want to talk about something"
"Well you don't really get a say in it Spencer..."
"If you walk off Ashley i'm not coming after you"
"Good I don't want you to"
I can't believe we're fighting about this.
"Ashley if you walk off we're done..."
I don't mean it, I just want her to stay and talk about this.
"We probably wouldn't have worked out anyway..."
She actually left.
"Spencer i'm so sorry I didn't mean for that to happen"
"It's fine Glen"
"You should go after her Spence she didn't mean it..."
"Glen just leave it please... I want to be alone"
When he walks away, I sit back down, letting the tears run down my face.
