The next day at school Spinelli walked to her locker to get her books. TJ came up behind her.

"So what were you gonna tell me last night?" he asked making her jump.

"TJ! What did I tell you about sneaking up on me like that?" Spinelli exclaimed.

"Sorry. But seriously what was it?" he asked again.

"It was just that-" Spinelli started but Ashley A walked up.

"TJ I need to talk to you NOW!" she said angrily.

"Umm...ok. Spin, I'll be right back," TJ said walking away with Ashley A. Spinelli sighed. Ashley A always seemed to time her appearances right when Spinelli was getting ready to say something important. 'Well I wasn't sure if I was really gonna tell him anyway,' she thought. 'I wonder why Ashley A seemed so mad?' Just then TJ walked back looking hurt, sad, and confused.

"What's wrong Teej?" Spinelli asked closing her locker.

"She broke up with me," TJ replied.

"Why?" Spinelli asked trying to sound concerned but inside she wanted to jump ad scream in joy.

"Well it's a really stupid reason and-"

"Theodore James Detweiler tell me right now!" Spinelli said.

"She broke up with me because she didn't like me being best friends with you. She said it looks like I was cheating on her every time I was with you," TJ replied.

"Uh- but- and she- but you- and me! Ugh!!! That girl is gonna pay!" Spinelli stuttered.

"Spinelli it doesn't really matter. I mean sure I'm upset but that was the most retarded reason I've ever heard of to break up with someone," TJ said trying to calm her down.

"Yeah I guess you're right," Spinelli replied.

"Yeah now what were you trying to tell me?" he asked looking at her.

"Well-" she started but the bell rang and they had to get to class. She sighed. 'Always right when I'm in the middle of something,' Spinelli thought.

~*~AFTER SCHOOL~*~

"So do you wanna go to Kelso's and tell me there?" TJ asked Spinelli as they walked out of the school.

"Sure that sounds good," Spinelli replied smiling. 'Besides, I'll do anything to get away from that bastard that calls himself my father,' she thought.

~*~AT KELSO'S~*~

"Ok here it goes. I umm- well you see- n-never mind TJ. It's nothing," Spinelli said. She was too scared about what he'd do to her if someone else found out. She didn't know why she even told him anything was bothering her. Now she had to come up with an excuse.

"Tell me now Spinelli," TJ demanded.

"Well umm..." she was thinking of something to say.

"It's just that- my parents have been arguing a lot and I think they might get a divorce," Spinelli lied. She hoped he believed her. TJ looked at her closely. He didn't think that was it. He knew it had to be bigger than that.

"I'm sorry to hear that," he replied. 'Good he bought it,' Spinelli thought.

"Is that all?" he asked looking at her. He couldn't help but realize how beautiful she was.

"Yeah that's all," Spinelli replied quietly.

"Ok. If you ever need to talk about something I'll always be here for you. You know that right?" TJ asked.

"Y-yeah Teej. I know," Spinelli replied. 'I can talk to you about anything but this,' she thought.

"Ok. Well I gotta go now," TJ said getting up. They left. When Spinelli got home she went straight to her room.

"Oh why did I tell him something was wrong? Why couldn't I have just kept it to myself? I'm so stupid!" Spinelli said out loud. She realized then that her dad wasn't home. He didn't know where he would be at this time. She went downstairs. There was a note on the refrigerator. She took it off and read it.

Dear Mrs. or Miss Spinelli,

We have taken Mr. Bob Spinelli downtown to the police station because he is under arrest for selling marijuana to young teenagers. If you know of anything else to testify against Mr. Spinelli please contact us at the police station as soon as you can.

Thank You (A/N i dont know if police officers would really leave notes but in this story they do)

Spinelli gasped. She knew he abused her but she never would have guessed that he sold marijuana to teens! She decided this was her chance to tell the truth. He could be locked up forever if she told them. She got her coat and ran to the police station to tell them the rest of the truth about her father.
