Chapter 3

As Spencer entered the house she could feel the tension between her parents. She knew she was in for a fight.

"Spencer, come in the living room" Her mom said in a very serious voice.

Spencer walked in the living room nervously glancing at both of her parents sitting on the couch.

"Ok, what's going on?" Spencer said hesitantly.

"I think its time you stopped seeing that girl."

"What! Why?" Spencer said with a confused look on her face.

"Because she is a bad influence on you."

"Yeah right whatever. I accidentally fall asleep at Ashley's and I get yelled at, but whenever Glen is out all night you never say anything." Spencer said now starting to get upset. This wasn't just any girl it was Ashley and she wasn't going to let her mom say anything about her. "Why don't you ever say her name, her name is Ashley!"

"Well then I forbid you to see Ashley!" Her mom said now crying and angry.

"Oh yeah and how are you going to stop me? You are never home!

Spencer's mom slapped her at that moment. She ran upstairs and lay down on the bed crying. When she had contained herself she sat up and started looking through a bunch of pictures she had in a shoe box under her bed. They were all of her and Ashley. She couldn't help but smile and think about how lost she would be without her. There was a knock at the door and she quickly put the photos under the bedspread. It was her mom and she looked surprisingly sad.

"I'm really sorry Spence, I know that Ashley is your friend and I need to respect that"

"Mom I can't help it. She is my girl…umm…friend."

"Say that again."

"Mom she is my girlfriend and I like her a lot." Spencer was so relieved to finally be able to say it. The truth was she didn't just like her she was in love with her, but she didn't want to dump everything on her mom at that very second.

"Really…well I had a feeling because you don't usually act that protective with your other friends." Her mom was finally starting to bring herself to entertaining the thought of her and another girl together. This was her daughter and she eventually had to accept it. Of course that would take some time.

"Yeah" She sort of chuckled to herself because she had just realized that she had felt this way toward Ashley the whole time.

"Hunny, you know you're my daughter and I love no matter who you are. Your father feels the same way. It's just going to take me awhile to get used to the idea but be patient with me. Ill do my best to accept Ashley."

"Thanks mom, that's all I ask." She hugged her mom and she left the room. Spencer didn't see that one coming. With how religious her family was, she was expecting a total meltdown.

Spencer called Ashley to tell her what had happened.

"Hey, sexy."

"Hey, Ash. I told my mom…"Spencer was silent, ready to hear her reaction.

"Really? How did it go?"

"She took it really well surprisingly, but that was after we had a huge fight." She wanted to be in the security of Ashley's arms at this point.

"Come over to my place tonight." Ash said in her low voice, hoping that Spencer would say yes and she could be holding her in a matter of hours.

"Ok." She said trying to be casual, but secretly she was thrilled.

They hung up and Glen gave Spencer a ride to Ashley's house.

Spencer walked up to the house and rang the doorbell. Ashley answered the door wearing only a towel.

Note: I will have another chapter up soon. It will be good I promise. As always I like feedback.
