Thanks for reading and I hope that you do enjoy it and I'm not sure where this is going.

I would love to know what you all think and in this chapter I'll leave a bit more of a summary and in later chapters when I have more of the 'relations' between the different characters I'll let you know them too. And if there is anything that is confusing let me know and I'll do my best to fix that for you.

Chapter 2 what just happened?

The dinner past pretty quickly and Alex found out that Spencer and Ashley had been together for almost six months and it was going pretty good at this moment but it hadn't always been that easy for them.

"I know that, I didn't handle Spencer and Ashley being together good. I mean I do know where your mother was coming from." Paula said and looked at Alex.

"I don't understand what you are saying." Alex said.

"What mum is trying to say is that it's not that easy finding out that your daughter is gay or bi by walking in on them before said daughter has told her?" Spencer said and she blushed, but then again she wasn't alone her mother was doing the same and she could see some red starting to show on her girlfriends neck. When Alex heard that she just laughed, at least she wasn't alone on being outed that way.

"Okay so that means that Spencer here is out and proud?" Alex asked as she looked at her younger cousin, and Spencer just nodded and she took Ashleys' hand and squeezed it just to let her know how she felt. "That is just so awesome." Alex continued and smiled.

They didn't do much more than that but all of them that was sitting around the table wanted to know what was going on, what had made Alex to come back here and what her plans was right now.

Ashley got a text from her sister telling her that she needed to get home.

"I'm sorry to cut this short but it seems like my mother and sister wants me to come home." Ashley said and she was on her way to leave. "So I guess that I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. and Mrs. C." And as she began to walk to the door Spencer walked with her, just before Ashley left Spencer capture the brunettes' lips in a kiss.

"Okay, bye Spence."Ashley said and just before she left she gave her girlfriend a quick peck on the lips.

"You'll call me later right?" Spencer asked and Ashley just nodded as she walked out the door.

And Spencer walked back in to the house and she could see that they had moved from the kitchen to the livingroom.

"Alex, I know that you might not want to talk about this but what are you thinking of doing now that you are back here in LA?" Paula asked and she knew that she might have to drag out what the girl was thinking about doing.

"I don't know really. I just needed to get away." Alex said and she could feel how the tears began to once again form in her eyes, she had thought that she had cried all that she needed.

"Why?" Spencer asked as she came in to the room, she didn't mean to pry but she had a feeling that her cousin would need to tell someone what had happened.

"I kind of broke up with my girlfriend, but at the same time I don't know why I did it." Alex said. Spencer sat next to the older girl and took her in her arms, she knew what this meant. She let Alex taking her time to tell the story.

"Well, I didn't want her to break up with me and I do love her, but I'm not sure that she loved me. I mean she and her old boy friend are like a couple that always will be a couple." Alex continued and now it feels like I made a huge mistake."

"I know the feeling but I also know that it will get better." Spencer said. Alex was still not sure on how all of this was playing out but she felt safer than she had done in a long time.

"I don't know if it does, I feel like this is all wrong and that something is missing." Alex said.

"That is how it will feel at the moment, but you will have all of us and that is a good thing and I'm sure that you will feel better soon." Spencer said and held her cousin closer.

"So, Alex what are your plans?" Arthur asked, he couldn't help it he was a social worker and this was something that he dealt with on a daily basis.

"I was thinking about going back to school but I'm not sure, I mean it kind of hard doing the whole school thing and working, so that I can get money for rent." She answered.

"Okay, but if I ask this instead, what do you want to do?" Arthur asked and looked at his niece.

"I do want to go back to school so that I can graduate and then maybe take some classes at a college. So that I if I wanted to could open up a club or a bar." She said and she was smiling again, when she was thinking about what she wanted to do with her life.

"Okay, then this is settled." Arthur said and he looked over at his wife to see that she would agree with the plan he had and she nodded.

"What is?" Alex asked she didn't want to assume anything.

"you are going to stay here with us and then you are going to start school again and I do think that you would be able to graduate with your cousin here." Arthur said.

"Great." Alex said and gave her uncle and aunt a hug. "So that was enough about me, I do think that we have one more person that should be telling me something." Alex said and looked at her younger cousin that was sitting in the sofa next to her.

Spencer just closed her eyes and hoped that it all would go away; she didn't want to talk about this.

"Spencer, I know you. I want you to tell me all of this. What happened to the girl that was a cheerleader and dating one of the jocks?" Alex said and looked over at Spencer.

"What can I say; I realized that that girl wasn't me." Spencer said and hoped that would be enough.

"Spence, I know that there is more to that story than you are telling me and I know that I will know that before the morning.

"Fine, but not here. I don't want them to know all." Spencer said and glared at her parents. Alex understood what she was meaning.

"Okay, so let's go to your room and then you can tell me all." The older girl said and looked over at her cousin.

They two of the walked up the stairs to Spencers' room and as they walked they could hear that Paula was yelling to them not to stay up all night long. Paula knew that the two of them would probably be up longer than they should and talk about everything that they had missed and that Alex would have a better idea on what was going on in her daughters' head at this time and all that had happened with Spencer and Ashley.
