So here it is the ending to this story I hope you all like it and I really enjoyed writing it for you. Sorry again it took so long to get it out been busy….well here ya go.
Don't own anything
So it's been two days since that little incident in the cafeteria and after hearing what happened with Ashley and Glen in the bathroom I have finally had enough.
I have not spoken to Glen since then with the exception of the times where I am obligated to because our family is present and even then my answers are short and without emotion.
I can tell that it's starting to get to him but honestly I don't care he hurt me. It's like he only loves me when I conform to what he thinks is right I'm just not like everyone else. I am my own person; I have my own thoughts and feelings. Even though they are confusing at times I know this is right, what I'm feeling is right and if he can't accept that he can't accept me.
I'm walking up to the school Ashley's hand in mine; I have given up trying to hide who I am. After the bathroom fight left Glen with a black eye everyone started to wonder why. I don't know who let it slip but honestly I could care less. Even though I get some dirty looks, and the occasional rude comments I can be myself and that's more freeing that you can imagine.
I feel Ashley's hand squeeze mine and looking down I see that the bruises are almost completely healed. I was livid when I found out that Ashley had hurt herself just to get a shot at my brother. It faded a little when I found out what he said but I didn't like seeing the bruises on her skin it made me sick to my stomach to imagine her hurting.
We walked to my locker and then she led me to class. We had not gotten so comfortable that we kissed at school so I hugged her goodbye and after waving to Aiden she walked away.
I went and took my seat next to him. "Hey Aid" I greeted him giving him a hug. He and Kyla are officially dating now and they are still in the honeymoon faze which it very cute but sometimes it can get…well disgusting. He launches right into a story about how amazing Kyla is, how amazing her hair is, how she always looks amazing, and basically just how she's amazing. After the tenth amazing I feel the need to interrupt him.
"Hey Aiden ok I think I get it she's amazing." I chuckle and I see his face turn the slightest shade of pink.
"Sorry got away from me a little there huh?" he states not really expecting an answer.
I just nod and we turn forward. After the teacher gives us our assignment we just get back to talking.
"So how is everything with you and Ashley?" Aiden asks
"Oh its well it's great I am so happy…it was rocky there for a while cause of the whole Glen thing but other than that it has been very smooth." I smile just thinking of Ashley.
"Yeah and just to let you know I'm here anyone tries to mess with you let me know and I will make sure they never bother you again." His face hardens and I know he's serious.
"That's sweet Aiden thank you but I don't think that's necessary. There are always going to be those people who can't accept me and even though it's hard to listen to the ridicule I need to get accustomed to hearing it because I'm not going to change, everyone just has to get used to that." His face lightens and he laughs.
"You're tougher than I thought Carlin I pity anyone who messes with you."
The day went fairly quick after that and next thing I know its lunch and I am sitting next to Ashley fully content.
Aiden hasn't gotten to the table yet but I can see him in the lunch line getting a tray full of food. It's just Kyla, Ashley and I at the moment I look around and see my brother sitting a couple tables away staring at me. I look away and grab Ashley's hand under the table. She looks up at me and smiles.
"How were your first few classes?" she asks
"They went pretty well I mean for being school." She smiles and squeezes my hand just then a guy that's on the basketball team with Glen and Aiden walks by us and just as he passes he yells "DYKES".
Laughter erupted from a few people at other tables and Ashley immediately jumped up, "What the fuck is your problem!" she yelled.
"Well as you can tell by my comment it's you…" he looks over at me and I just glare.
"Why? It's not like were friends I mean I don't think I've said one word to you since junior high. " Ashley's is getting really angry all the taunting that we've had to endure these past few days is starting to take a toll on her.
"Yeah and after hearing about you and your "girlfriend" I'm glad…you disgust me." He says the last part really slow and just as Ashley is about to jump in with a rebuttal I heard someone yell from a few tables away. I instantly whip my head toward the voice and am surprised to see Glen walking toward us all fuming with anger. He just walks right up this guy and punches him in the face hard sending him falling to the ground.
This is when I notice Aiden arrive because he starts to restrain Glen who is trying to get another punch into this jerk.
"Don't you ever talk to Ashley or my sister like that again you hear me!" Glens yelling is so powerful that it's surprising not just me but most likely a lot of people in the cafeteria. I mean it was no secret that Glen did not approve of her and me. "Unless you want to deal with me the rest of you high school career I suggest you shut your ignorant pig headed mouth and leave them alone."
"That goes for me to!" I hear Aiden yell finally letting go of Glen.
The boy on the ground is clutching his face and when he pulls his hand away you can see a slash on his upper cheek where the skin split. Glen hit him very hard as it was already starting to swell. He just nods and scrambles away.
I look over at Ashley and I can see that she is completely shocked at what has just occurred. She silently sits down and grabs my hand pulling it into her lap slowly caressing my skin with her thumb.
"Hey Spence…uh can I talk to you for a minute?" It's Glen and looking into his face I see pain written all over it.
"Yeah" I get up releasing Ashley's hand nodding to her it's ok and walk out of the cafeteria with Glen.
The minute we stop it's like someone unlocked his mouth and things just started pouring out almost to quickly to understand.
"Oh Spencer I am so sorry about all this I was being so stupid and I guess I was just scared for you I didn't want anyone to hurt you and I just ended doing just that. I hurt you so much and I wish I could go and take it all back but I cant and today in the cafeteria when I heard that asshole talking to you like that something just snapped inside me and I realized that that's how I was treating you and Ashley and its not right. I am your brother and I should have realized that you being gay was not something that should upset me you are still the same person that I grew up with even if you like girls…"
He tried to go on but I had heard enough I could tell that he was honestly sorry about what he had done and I was so glad that he was finally accepting me for me. I jumped forward and hugged him hard as my eyes began to water.
"Thank you so much Glen I really appreciate you saying all that it was something I needed to hear." I pull back and he nodded. "But I have you say that in that little outburst of yours you forgot to mention that fact that you were bring a jerk!" I laughed whipping the few tear from my eyes.
"Oh yeah I was a major jerk."
"The biggest!"
We turned abound and started to make our way back to the cafeteria. "Oh and Spencer…"
"Yeah?"
"Just so you know your girlfriend is so HOT!!"
"Ahh" I reach out and push him and we start to laugh again.
We both go and sit down at my table Ashley on my left Glen on my right.
I know that here now with my friends, my brother, and my girlfriend beside me things are going to get better I can feel it.
So there you go that's THE END.
I really hoped you like it and for those who stuck with the story the whole time thank you.
I look forward to writing more for you in the near future.
