I feel like it's been forever since I've updated and I'm really sorry for that. I just got over a bad cold, still had to work, and with Thanksgiving, its been crazy around my house. Also the tablet I've been writing on won't stay charged so that makes writing harder but don't worry I just got a netbook off of Amazon, should be here in a week or two and once I get that I will be back to updating both of my stories once a week. Hope this update is worth the wait, if not I'm sorry again.
Emily's POV...
Hanna reached over the center console and turned the raido off. "Hey I was listening to that."Marissa said from beside Aria and Hanna. "I'm tired of listening to screamo."Hanna said. Spencer looked in the back seat at Hanna and let go of my hand long enough to turn the radio back on and turned it down some, to make both girls happy.
We've been in the car from an hour and a half, on our way to Mikey's and Spencer has barely said a word since we left her house.
I don't understand how Peter Hastings could treat his daughter like that. I don't understand how he could be okay with his friends being gay but not Spencer. How could ones parents do that to their child?
Yes I know my Mother did not like that I'm gay at first but she came around when she saw how much Spencer and I care for each other. Why can't Spencer's Father be the same way? Why hurt her and treat her like she is a disappointment?
I wish I could fix things between them, I wish I knew how. I hate seeing Spencer so upset over the way her Father treats her. She just wants her Father's love, is that so bad?
"You got your thinking face on, what's on your mind?"Spencer asked taking her eyes off the road to look over at me. "My thinking face?"
"Yeah, you bite your bottom lip and your eyebrows come together, it's really cute."She said smiling over at me and kissing my hand. "What are you thinking about?"
"Your Dad." She looks over at me, sadness flashed in her eyes before she looked back at the road. "I'm sorry about him, We shouldn't have had dinner with them."She whispered letting go of my hand and placing it on the wheel.
Great now I've upset her.. Good going Emily.
-oOo-
We arrived at Mikey's house almost an hour later. House really isn't the right word, mansion is more fitting. The mansion is huge, I've never seen any house, mansion or whatever you want to call it, like it before. It puts the Hastings house to shame. Makes the Hastings look poor.
We are outside of the iron gates, waiting to be buzzed in. I stare in awe at the dark marble mansion. The gates open and Spencer drives up the long brick driveway, parking the car behind a black limo.
"This is where he lives?"Aria asked as we get out the car. Spencer nods and walks over to me. She takes my hand and leads us up to the dark wood door. She knocks a few times before the door opens and out steps Mikey with Lindsey right behind him. "You guys are early."He said pulling Spencer and I into a hug.
Mikey's once black hair is now a bright blue and is cut into a mohawk. "Nice hair."Spencer said running her fingers through Mikey's hair. "Come inside, we were just moving things around the living room for the dance floor."Mikey said pushing Spencer's hand away.
We all make our way into the Mansion, where Lindsey gave all of us a hug and Mikey hugged Hanna, Aria and Marissa as well. "No hot guys?"Mikey asked laughing and walking off into another room. "They are busy working on cars."Aria said following Mikey. "Their lost, are y'all staying the night?"Lindsey asked as we joined Mikey and Aria in the living room.
Everyone turns to Spencer but she just shrugs. "That would be great."I said smiling over at Lindsey. "Show them the rooms Spencer, they can take the three next to yours."Mikey said as He and Lindsey moved the large leather couch to the far wall in the room.
Spencer lead us up the stairs, pointing out pictures of Mikey and his twin brother when they were younger, pictures of her with Lindsey, Mikey and the taller brunette with red bangs known as Ashley. "You and Ashley seem really close, did you two date?"Hanna asked as we walked pass a picture of Ashley and Spencer dancing together.
Spencer looked at Hanna and laughed. "Oh god no! We've been friends since I was born, that would be too weird. Besides we are too alike to date, it would be like dating myself." "There's nothing wrong with dating you."I said kissing Spencer's hand. Spencer smiled and kept walking up the stairs and turned down a long hall way lined with doors on each side. "Hanna you can stay in this room."Spencer said opening a door, revealing a pink room with a king size bed in the middle of the room.
She walked to the next room and opened the door. I took a look around the dark room and Spencer flipped the light on. The red bed spread stood out against the black walls and gave the room a gothic but homey feel to it. "Aria this is your room."
"And this is your's Marissa."Spencer said opening the door to a purple room with a zebra print bed spread and couch. "Sweet."Marissa said running and jumping onto the king size bed. Aria and Hanna join Marissa on the bed as Spencer leads me out of the room and into the next room.
"This is my home away from home."Spencer said laying down on the bed on the far wall. Posters and pictures lined every inch of the walls. Posters of movies, bands and quotes, the pictures are of Spencer's family and friends. I walk around the room, looking at the many pictures and posters. I stop at one of a tall guy with brown hair and his arm wrapped around a half naked Spencer. Arms wrap around my waist and a head lays on my shoulder.
"That's Toby."Spencer said. "Why are you half naked with a tie on and why is he only wearing pants?"I asked. "Strip pong tournament, he was my team mate. That was taken after the last game, we won and Mikey wanted a photo."She said, then leaned down and kissed my neck. "Want to be my team mate tonight?"She asked turning me around and smiling at me. "Whatever you want."
Spencer grabs my hand and pulls me over to the bed, gets on said bed and pulls me down on it. She lays her head on my stomach and laces our fingers together. "Are you okay?"I asked running my free hand through her cruly brown locks. "I'm fine."She said quickly and moving out of my reach. "Come on Spence, your not okay."I said taking her hand in mine. "I'm fine Em, really I am."She whispered staring at our joined hands. "Talk to me please?"I begged.
She brings our hands up and puts our palms flat against each other. "How can something that fits so perfectly together be wrong?"She asked lacing our fingers together. Our hands did fit prefectly together, like they were made to be joined. Never had holding someone's hand felt so right.
"How can love in any shape or form be wrong? How is what our hearts feel is wrong?"She asked, her eyes glistening with unshed tears as she stared at our hands.
"It's not wrong Spencer, this"I said holding our hands up and resting our foreheads together. "Us isn't wrong, No matter what anyone says, we're not wrong."
"I love you."She said pressing her lips to mine in a quick kiss. "I love you too Baby."
Spencer's hands cup the sides of my face and brings my lips to hers again. She holds her against mine for a few seconds before they start to move with mine.
"Okay guys get changed, party starts in 30."Lindsey said walking into the room, just as our kiss started to get heated. "You suck Linds."Spencer said as I broke the kiss and got off the bed.
-oOo-
In less than an hour, Mikey's Mansion was full of people. Some of the people I've seen at school, others I've never seen before. Everyone seemed to know Spencer and were coming up to us, just to say hi or ask Spencer to dance but she never left my side unless it was to get drinks.
"Four Rum and Cokes, Whiskey Sour, Gin and Tonic and a Mojito."Spencer said walking over to the table with Toby right behind her, helping her carry the drinks. They set the drinks on the table and sat down. "Guys this is Toby, Toby this is my girlfriend Emily."Spencer said leaning over and kissing my cheek. "And this is Marissa, Aria and Hanna, my best friends."She said pointing them out. "It's nice to meet you all."He said in a deep voice, giving us all a small smile.
"Wanna dance Toby?"Lindsey asked standing up from the table. Toby looked up at her and shook his head no. "Maybe in a little while Linds."He said sweetly giving her a very charming smile. "Spencer, wanna dance?"Lindsey asked turning to Spencer. Spencer stood and held her hand out for Lindsey to take. "I'll be back love."She said leaning down and kissing the top of my head before Lindsey pulled her to the dance floor.
"Don't hurt her okay? She means a lot to me and I don't want to see her get hurt again."Toby said staring after Spencer and Lindsey. What the hell is with Mikey and Toby, people who don't know me thinking I'm going to hurt Spencer? Why would I hurt someone I love? "Can I ask you two something?"Aria asked looking at Toby and Mikey. Both guys nod and pick up their drinks.
"If y'all are so important to Spencer then why did we only meet y'all a week ago?"She said staring them both down. "And where the hell do you get off telling Emily not to hurt Spencer? You don't even know Emily."Hanna snapped.
"When Spencer started dating Sam, we told her that she was going to get hurt. We knew what Sam was like and we tried to keep Spencer away from her, When she didn't listen Ashley told her that we weren't going to stand around and watch Sam tear her down and break her into nothing. Spencer left without a word, came back after Sam broke up with her, she forgave us and things went back to the way they were before, then Alex came along. We didn't trust her."Mikey said.
"With good reason."Toby said taking a sip from his glass. "Anyways, once again we tried to keep Spencer from getting hurt and once again she didn't listen, we made her choose us or Alex. You know who she chose, She didn't want to have to choose between us and you guys so she made it to where she never had to. She still came around but only to see Jo and Maddy."Mikey paused, he looked pained and ashamed. "We pushed her away when she needed us and we're not going to do that again, we don't want to see her get hurt again. There used to be so much pain in her eyes, even when she thought she was happy with Alex, there was still pain in them but with you Emily, there is no pain in them. She's happy truly happy."He finished, with tears in his eyes.
"And that's all we want for her."Toby said putting a hand on Mikey's shoulder. "I'm sorry for being so hard on you about it."Aria whispered.
They really cared about her, they loved her like a sister and no matter what they went through, Spencer and them always made up they were always looking out for each other even when they weren't talking. I understand why Spencer didn't want to have to choose between us, they were true friends to her, they were family. And Spencer, she deserved to have friends like that, she deserved people who really cared for her.
