"Its okay Teej, they should know. They are my friends after all"

"You sure?" he asked.

"yea. Guys, you CANT repeat this to anyone okay? I need to tell you something but NOBODY else can know"

"The best place is probably fort tender"

They reached fort tender, Sammi Mikey and Gretchen all silently wandering what Spinelli had to tell them.

"Come on Spinelli, the news cant be that bad" said Mikey.

"Wait until you hear it Mikey" said TJ.

The three friends were completely silent while Spinelli explained everything that had been happening.

"Oh my gosh" whispered Sammi.

"What cruel world do we live in?" asked Mikey.

"That must be terrible to handle at such a young age" muttered Gretchen

"its was –but TJ's helped loads, I'd probably be dead if it weren't for him" said Spinelli smiling at TJ "and now I've you guys so its better"

::::::::::::::::::Spinelli's POV:::::::::::::::::

"So you like TJ then?" asked Sammi sitting on a swing.

"erm –No!" said Spinelli blushing.

"yea you do come on Gretch –back me up here" said Sammi.

"I have to agree, its obvious you like him not that its needed but your body language show's it"

"So what if I do like him. He's my friend! He's just helped me and I'm not gunna go destroy our friendship over a silly crush"

"Love" corrected Sammi "Mikey can see it too"

"Fine what ever –but I'm still not gunna ruin our friendship"

"But he likes you too"

"YEA" said Spinelli sarcastically laughing "right"

:::::::::::::::::::::TJ's POV::::::::::::::::::::

"Alright the girls have gone, what'd you have too say?"

"I just want to talk about young Love"

"who loves each other?"

"why you and Spinelli of course!" said Mikey "I can see it the eyes of the both of you"

"you may see it in my eyes –but in Spinelli's its gratitude. She's just glad I helped her AND she's my friend so there is friendship love in there, but on her part that's obviously it"

"She likes you TJ –she even kissed your cheek!"

TJ smiled when he remembered this but quickly shock it off "It was just a thank you Mikey"

"You may say that TJ. But I know the beautiful truth! There's nothing wrong with love TJ"

Spinelli sat bolt upright, her face covered on cold sweat and tears, shaking madly. She'd just had a nightmare where Tim had killed TJ, she'd being having nightmares every night –but this was by far the wost. She was sharing the spare room with her mum, she jumped out of bed and crept down to TJ's room –just to check he was okay. She reached his room, and it was empty dread began to fall over her she hurried up to his bed –but it was indeed empty.

"Spin? Are you okay?" asked TJ walking into the room sleepily.

"Teej! Your alive!" she said jumping up and hugging him.

"of course I am Spin" he said stocking her slightly messy hair

"I-I had a nightmare that Tim killed you –it really freaked me out, it was so real" said Spinelli as they sat down

"Don't worry Spin –its only a nightmare, I'm still here" said TJ wiping her tears away with his thumb, he looked into her eyes –she was looking straight back. He slowly leaned in and kissed her, he was about to pull away and apologise, when much to his surprise she kissed him back, she put her arms around his neck pulling him closer –clearly enjoying the kiss, he put her arms around her waist, enjoying it as much as her.

"Wow" whispered Spinelli reluctantly breaking the kiss.

"To think I was gunna apologise" said TJ smiling happily at her

"So where dose this put us now –we're more that friends"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend?" asked TJ a hint of hopefulness in his voice.

"I was hoping you'd say that" she whispered "that's definitely where it puts us"

Spinelli's suffering was finally dieing down, although she did continue to remain emotionally weak for a few years. Her life was soon near perfect, she could control of her life and soon tackled problems like her anorexia.
