SPENCER'S P.O.V
"Spencer if it's weird me being here I can leave?"
"Michelle it's not weird"
We're standing in the kitchen.
"Do you want another beer?"
"Thanks"
I walk over to the fridge and grab two beers.
"Michelle I'm sorry you got caught in the middle of everything that happened earlier"
"Don't be ridiculous..."
I pass her a beer.
"Spencer I'm sorry you've had to go through everything that you've been through"
"We all have our issues right?"
I open my beer and toss the bottle cap in the sink.
"So I'm guessing this is the first time you've been back to LA in a while?"
"Yer I haven't been back since I graduated High School"
I move so my back's resting against the Kitchen counter.
"What's it like being back?"
"It's different"
I force a smile.
"Do you miss it here?"
"Now I'm back I'm starting to realise how much I've actually missed it..."
From now on I plan on spending a lot more time in LA.
"But my life's a lot easier when I'm not here"
When I look over at Ash she's talking to Maddy and Zara.
"Spencer are you sure you don't mind me being here?"
I honestly don't mind her being here.
"Sorry Michelle I don't mean to be rude I've just got alot on my mind"
"Your mum?"
"Yer she's floating around up there somewhere"
When I say that she smiles.
"You're mum's a..."
"Bitch?"
"Yer that's one way of describing her"
That's one of the nicer ways to describe her.
"I've always found her to be a little fake"
She's incredibly fake.
"But then again she's always been really nice to me"
"That doesn't surprise me she likes girls who like penises"
She's laughing.
"Why are we talking about penises?"
I start laughing when Ash wraps her arms around me.
"I was just telling Michelle why my mum likes her so much"
"Actually she was finding other reasons besides the whole me being awesome thing"
When she says that Ash and I both start laughing.
"And what did you come up with?"
"I was telling her how my mum likes girls who like penises"
"She's going to really hate me then"
"Don't worry Ash you can join the Paula Carlin hates me because I like vagina club"
We've been drinking so everything seems alot funnier than it is.
"Is it just me and you in this club?"
"No Zara's in it and I'm pretty sure Maddy will join if she ever has the pleasure of meeting my mother"
That comment was loaded with sarcasm.
"So when did you two come out?"
"I was fifteen"
"I didn't actually get to come out Glen forced me out when I was sixteen"
"Sorry"
"Michelle it's not your fault he's an ass"
"What exactly did he do?"
I have no idea what Glen's told her.
"Sorry it's none of my business"
"Michelle it's not that I have a problem telling you, I just don't want to get involved in whatever's going on between you and Glen"
I don't want to get involved with anything to do with Glen or my mum.
"Spencer I'm meant to be marrying him in five days"
I knew they were getting married soon.
But I had no idea it was this weekend.
"But the more I see you the more I realise I barely know the guy"
When she says that I look over at Ashley.
"How am I meant to marry a guy I barely know?"
I feel sorry for her.
"Sorry none of this is your problem"
She apologises way too much.
"Michelle I really don't think you want to hear my thoughts on Glen"
I really don't want to get involved.
But I like Michelle and if I was her I'd want to know everything before I married the guy.
"Spencer I want to know everything that you're comfortable telling me"
When I look back over at Ash she just shrugs her shoulders.
"Look Michelle my family's never been like other families"
We're a long way from being normal.
"My mum's always been the dominant one and as much as my dad tried to keep the peace, we never really got along"
I was a real daddy's girl and Glen sucked up to mum.
"Michelle I knew I was gay a long time before they found out"
I was pretty good at hiding it.
"All I used to think about was coming out but I knew if I did my mum would flip out"
I couldn't have been more right.
"That's why when Glen caught me I begged him not to say anything"
"But he didn't listen?"
"Of course he didn't, he told me I was disgusting and then he called my mum at work"
"He called her at work?"
"Yer and when she found out she did everything I thought she'd do"
She's a bitch.
There's no other way to describe her.
"She came home from work early and kicked me out"
"Spencer I'm so sorry"
"Michelle you really need to stop saying you're sorry"
I force a smile.
"Nothing that's happened is your fault"
"This is a lot to take in"
I bet it is.
"Glen's never done anything to suggest there's this side of him"
"Maybe he's changed"
I only said that so she'd feel better.
"You don't really think that do you?"
"No I think he's an asshole"
Guys like Glen never change.
"I can't believe he outted you to your mum"
"He outted her to the whole fucking school"
Where did Zara come from?
"He told all the jocks and the cheerbitches she liked pussy"
I watch Zara as she grabs a couple of beers out of the fridge.
"Glen and his mates made her life hell for months and not once did he feel bad"
Zara's always been really protective of me.
"Spencer I'm a little drunk but i'm pretty sure you're giving me your shut the fuck up look"
That's hilarious.
"Zara this is actually my maybe you should tone it down a bit look"
"I'm not toning down shit"
I really didn't think she would.
"Michelle your fiance's an asshole"
Poor Michelle.
"And I've never hated someone as much as I hate that loser"
Zara was there for me when it all happened.
So she has pretty strong feelings when it comes to my mum and Glen.
"He's a homophobic dickhead that turned his back on his own sister because she was gay"
This must be a lot for Michelle to take in.
"I can understand families reacting badly at first, but to carry on the way he did for months is unforgiveable"
I smile when Ashley wraps her arm around my shoulders.
"So if I was you Michelle I'd get out while you still can"
I bet Michelle's wishing she never brought this up.
"He's a loser and I don't care what he's said or done to make you think he's this great guy, but people like Glen never change"
"Okay Zara she gets it"
"Spencer you really need to stop being so nice about it, you're brother's a dick"
I agree with everything Zara's said.
But I probably would have worded it better for Michelle's sake.
"ZARA WHERE'S MY BEER?"
"I'm going to go back over there and let you three get back to it"
When she says that I can't help but laugh.
"Sorry about her Michelle, she can be a little protective"
"You agree with everything she said right?"
There's a long pause before I say anything.
"Yer I do"
"Do you guys have anything stronger than this?"
When she holds her beer up I look over at Ash.
"Michelle if it's alcoholic I've got it"
I watch Ash as she walks over to the cupboard.
"Tequila, Vodka, Bourbon, White Rum..."
"Tequila"
That's what I would have chosen.
"Tequila it is"
"DO YOU TWO WANT TEQUILA?"
"THAT DEPENDS ON SPENCER"
Why does it depend on me?
"DOES SHE LOOK ANNOYED"
"ZARA SHE LOOKS SEXY"
"SEXY ANNOYED?"
When she says that we all start laughing.
"NO ZARA JUST SEXY"
"OKAY THEN I'M IN"
"I'M IN AS WELL ASH"
"MADDY I'VE ALREADY POURED YOU ONE"
"DO YOU HAVE LEMONS OR LIMES?"
"MADDY DOES A NUN MASTURBATE ALL THE TIME?"
"FUCK YES THEY DO"
That's hilarious.
"THERE'S LEMONS IN THE FRUIT BOWL"
I shake my head when Ash points at the fruit bowl.
"AWESOME"
"Maddy you can talk normally now I'm just here"
I have the biggest smile on my face when Ash stops pouring the Tequila and wraps her arms arounds me.
"You've had an interesting day Spence"
"I know so much has happened that I can't even remember our fight"
"That's awesome"
When she says that I start laughing.
"Ash I remember exactly what we were fighting about"
"Damn"
She's so sexy.
"Don't worry I'm well and truly over that"
"Good 'cause I plan on rocking your world later"
"Do you just?"
"I do"
I lean forward and start moving my lips against hers.
I'm never going to get sick of this.
She's perfect.
"As hot as it is watching you two make out there's shots to be drank"
She just threw pieces of lemon at us.
"You're lucky I'm in a good mood Maddy or I'd be so pissed you just threw lemon at us"
I walk over to the bench and grab a shot glass.
"Okay Michelle what are we cheersing to?"
"Let's cheers to Glen being a dick"
I'll drink to that.
