Spencer gets out of the car and walks up to her house but not before looking back at Ashley who is watching her. Ashley waves and Spencer waves back before Ashley drives off.
Spencer walks into her house to find Glen in his pajamas sitting on the couch playing some army game. "Are you ever gonna stop playing this game?" she says locking the door behind her.
"Um, are you ever gonna stop being Ashley's toy?" Glen says with hostility in his voice.
Spencer walks over to Glen, "What did you say?"
"You heard me. When are you gonna stop her from controlling you?"
Spencer makes a face that shows that she's not thrilled about what Glen just said, "Ashley does not control me. I am my own person. Don't turn into mom and tell me that Ashley is bad news, she's tainted me blah, blah, blah."
"I don't have to turn into mom to tell you crap you already know. And mom's right. Ashley has tainted you; you weren't gay when we lived in Ohio." Glen says putting his game on pause and looking at Spencer.
Spencer rolls her eyes, "This is not up for discussion. Get over it, Glen." She begins walking to the stairs but she stops in her tracks when she hears Glen say something, "What?"
"You're not deaf, Spence." Glen says who is now standing almost right on top of Spencer.
Spencer turns around, "No, I'm not but please repeat what you just said; I wanna make sure I heard you right."
"I said Ashley's a dyke." Glen said clenching down with his teeth.
Spencer slaps Glen across the face as hard as she can, "Say it again and a slap won't be all you get!" Spencer screams.
Glen rubs his face where Ashley slapped him (which has turned red), "What's your problem!?" he screams at her.
"It looks like you're my problem tonight. I'm supposed to have support from my family but I don't seem to be getting any. Only dad and Clay are supportive."
Glen grabs Spencer's shoulders, "Can't you see you're hurting mom with this mess?"
She rips away from him, "It's not about her! And it's not about you! Don't you think if I could I would be straight and make everyone happy but I sure as hell am not gonna be something less than I am. I'm not gonna be miserable so mom can be happy--" she yells at the top of her lungs.
"No, you're just being--" Glen interrupts her.
She takes control of the conversation again, "Stubborn? Glen, are you serious? You think I chose this? You think I chose to be gay? NO, I did not. I wouldn't choose to be this miserable all the time. And on top of everything else Chelsea is in the hospital… she's--she's my sister. And you're not making this any better by saying something so hateful--so messed up." Spencer stops talking and waits for Glen to say something he says nothing. "You know the only people that really care about me and my happiness are Ashley, Clay, Chelsea and dad. Sadly, I can't put you and mom on that list."
Glen sighs, "I'm--"
Spencer holds up her hand to hush him, "Forget it, Glen, just forget it. Just know that I love Ashley and that's not changing. And at this very moment I wish you weren't my brother… you're dead to me, Glen." Spencer looks at him sadly then walks up the stairs to her room.
Ashley is feeling pretty good knowing that everything is good with Spencer now. I wonder what Aiden and Kyla are doing right now. Maybe he told her so I won't have to tell her. Aiden can be such a ass sometimes, I don't even know how I became his friend.
Ashley pulls up in front of her house and sees Aiden's car parked in front of the garage. Great! Ashley thinks sarcastically. She waits for the garage to open then pulls in. She grabs her purse and then gets out of the car. She uses her keychain to lock her car.
She opens the door that leads from the garage into the kitchen. Then she starts up the stairs, "Hey, Ash, you wanna watch a movie with us?" Kyla asks from the living room with Aiden by her side.
She doesn't stop she keeps on walking, "No, I'm really tired." she says practically to herself. She makes her way to her room and kicks off her shoes then walks over to her closet to change into her pajamas. She finds a pair of black Soffe's and a black tank top to change into. After changing, she goes into her bathroom to take off her make up, clean her face and brush her teeth. When she comes out of her bathroom she sees Aiden sitting on her bed.
She turns off her bathroom light and leans on her wall waiting for him to say something. "So are we gonna talk?" he finally says.
