Once we reach Spinners, I had already fallen asleep. I didn't realize what a long ride it would be, I didn't notice to before. He too fell asleep; Jason had to shake us awake. I felt sort of embarrassed. I looked up at Spinner's house. Doesn't look too much of a dump, it actually looks really nice.

"Dude, why are we at your house?" Spinner asks wiping his eyes. That's why.

"Does it matter?" he asks. I look at Spinner. He looks at me. Jason starts up to the house, as we stay seated in the car, my legs hanging out the open car door.

"Is this okay?" he asks. I nod. He nods back. After grabbing my bag, we both jump out of the car and Spinner slams the door shut. Then he hurries to me, not that I'm walking or very far. I smile as we start walking. "So, you're doing okay now right?" Spinner asks. I swallow before nodding.

"It's not something I want to talk about right now, Spinner," I say.

"Sorry," he apologizes. We reach the door and walk inside. Jason has already begun watching TV. We both look at him then at his big screen TV that is showing some sort of retarded sport.

"Ellie, you into sports?" Jason asks. I shake my head. "Why not?" he asks kind of confused. Spinner leads me over to the other end of Jason's couch after he shuts the front door. Jason keeps his eyes on me.

"Because, it just, doesn't interest me," I say sitting next to Spinner. Jason chuckles.

"Not even cheerleading?" he says knowing that I cringe at the word. I look over at Spinner and he looks back. I chuckle.

"Imagine me, a cheerleader," I say. Spinner smirks.

"Maybe not a cheerleader, but a lead singer," he smiles. Oh yeah! The band! I totally forgot!

"Lead singer?" Jason asks. Spinner nods and looks at me.

"Yeah, my friend Marco said she can really rock-out," Spinner compliments.

"Oh yeah, that gay-dude," Jason says turning back to the TV.

"That gay-dude, is my friend, and he has a name," I defend Marco. He quickly turns to me.

"Oh, she bites," Jason chuckles. I look at him angrily. "Calm down, Ellie. No wonder you would want to help out at the crazy house," he turns back to his precious game. I stand up.

"Shut the fuck up!" I say firmly. Jason's smile fades and puts all his attention towards me. Spinner grabs my hand and I pull away.

"Chill the hell out," Jason says. "Don't get all mad and shit," he continues.

"I can do whatever the fuck I want! Don't say that about me! You don't even know me," I say loudly.

"Ellie-"

"No! He's being an asshole!" I yell.

"I know enough that you should belong to that damn freak home," he stands up. I become furious. I belong nowhere but in my own skin. Before I can think, I charge at him. I push him hard and to my surprise, he falls onto the floor. Spinner finally stands up; I grab my bag and walk hurriedly out the door.

"How could you say that?" I hear Spinner yell.

"She's a fuckin' loon"

"Don't talk to her like that!" I hear him say. "That was messed up, Ellie doesn't deserve that. She's right, you are an asshole," then I hear Spinner's feet scrambling after me. "Ellie!" he calls. I turn around.

"Take me home," I say. He finally reaches me and nods. "No, don't take me home," I say confused. My eyes shift. "Just," I start to cry. Then I feel his arms wrap around me and hold me. He strokes my hair.

"Sh, forget him, Ellie," he says. I cry harder into his shirt and he tells me everything will be okay.

"Yeah, uh-huh, we'll be here. Okay, bye," Spinner click his cell phone off. I stand there with my arms crossed. He looks at me. "My dad should be here in a few minutes," he assures me. I nod.

"Sorry," I say. He looks confused.

"For what?" he asks.

"For bringing you into this, giving you hell," I say. He shakes his head.

"That's not true. Ellie, I told you, whatever you need I have it, as long as it doesn't cost too much," he says. I smirk. "You know I'm here," he sweetly says. Then he pulls me closer and I just stay wrapped in his arms. Finally, his dad arrived. We both crawl in the back.

"So, where are we headed to?" Spinner's dad asks. He looks nothing like Spinner. Spin shuts the door after he gets in.

"Um," Spin looks at me then back at his dad. "Our house," he says. His dad nods. I bite my lip as we start to drive. I can't keep hiding. I shake my head.

"No," I whisper. Spinner looks at me. "I want to go home," I say. I look up at Spinner's dad. "I'll give you directions as we drive"
