Yay finally a chapter! I'm sorry that it took so long, but college is a bit demanding. Any who, on with the story…

"Everyone in this room, including you, knows that's not true." Chelsea says. "You know that you are dying to talk to her, even if you just say hi." Carmen nods agreeing with Chelsea.

"What makes you think that?" I question.

"Well we just spent like the last half hour talking about this dilemma you are having with her. And whenever you're around Ashley, you get all smiley and happy." Chelsea explains.

"And you told us how amazing it was when she kissed you." Carmen would add that.

I can't help it, they are right, and I honestly do want to talk to her, I just don't know what I would say. I like her a lot, and I know she has feelings for me as well, but there's just so much drama already and we aren't even together yet.

"Ok fine. I do want to talk to her, but I just think it would be easier if I didn't."

"That may be true, but that won't fix anything." Chelsea says and I couldn't agree more.

"I know, I just wish it would all go away." I say honestly.

After we finished cleaning, I went upstairs and changed out of my sleeping clothes. Usually I would stay at Chelsea's house but it seemed like they wanted sometime alone.

I went to Chelsea's room when I was done, and she and Carmen were cuddling and watching a movie on her bed.

"I'm going home now, I need to talk to Glen and clear my head a bit."

"Are you going to be ok?" Chelsea asks.

"Yea I think…I think I'm ready to tell Glen." I say taking a deep breath.

"What do you think he will say?" Carmen asks.

"I honestly don't know. I mean we aren't super close but we are close. I just hope it goes well." I sigh.

"Good luck, and if anything you are more than welcome to come back here." Chelsea says with a smile.

"Thanks Chels, I will see you later or if things go as I hope, then I'll see you Monday. Bye." I say and turn to leave.

"Later Spence, and if anything you can always call." Chelsea reassures.

I turn around, "Thanks Chelsea. I love you." I'm sure she knows, but she has always been there for me. I'm lucky to have a friend like her.

"Love you too, Spence."

I left Chelsea's house, determined to set a few things straight. First, I wanted to talk to Glen. I don't like hiding this from him. I guess in a way this would also be like a test. I would see how he reacts, to kind of get a feel about how my parents would react. I hate that being a lesbian is such a big deal to people. Whatever.

After I talk to Glen, I need to talk to Ashley. I think it would be fair if I got her side of the story before I start hating her.

When I pull up to my house, I notice that my parents are not home, surprise surprise. They are always working.

I do notice that Aiden's car is here. I wonder if Ashley told him about everything that had happened with me. Does he even know that she had online friends? Does he know that I am one of her online friends? Does he know that I'm gay?

I have so many questions and the smart thing to do would be to talk to Ashley to get answers but of course I don't want to do that.

After I park my car, I take my bags and walk straight into the house. I don't see Aiden or Glen in the living room playing video games like they usually are. That's weird.

I make my way up to my room and I hear talking coming from Glen's room. I guess they are in there. I keep walking to my room, and I as soon as I open the door, I'm shocked by who's sitting on my bed.

She looks like she's deep in thought and sad about something.

"Um…what are you doing here?" I ask a stupid question because I know exactly why she is here.

She stood up and walked closer to me. I took a step back and she looked a little hurt.

"I wanted to talk to you." She replies and goes back to sit on my bed.

I walk in and set my bags down by my door and take a seat at my desk, leaving enough room between us.

"How long have you been here?" Yea because that's important right now. I guess I am trying to ease myself into this dreaded conversation.

"I came like an hour ago when Aiden said he was coming over." She runs her hand through her curls. "I just really wanted to talk to you about everything that happened last night. I couldn't leave things the way they were."

I stay quiet because I'm not sure what to say.

"I'm sorry, Spencer." She says sincerely.

"Sorry for what exactly? Sorry for kissing me? Sorry for not telling me you knew who I was? Sorry for making me think that I did something wrong? Sorry for what, Ashley?" I almost yell. Now I am angry.

"I'm sorry for all of it." And just when the tears start to form she adds, "But I am not sorry for kissing you. I can never be sorry for something that was so amazing and incredible."

I slightly smile, but then I remember that I am still mad at her.

"Ashley what I really want to know is why didn't you tell me?" She sighs and looks down. "Do you know that for the entire time that you went avoiding me, I thought I did something wrong?"

She looks up. "No, I didn't mean for you to feel that way."

"This girl that I just started to become friends with is all of a sudden ignoring me. How else am I supposed to feel?" I throw my hands up expressing my anger.

"When I found out that you were the girl that I was talking to online, I didn't know what to do. I was scared and happy. I didn't know how I would tell you; I wasn't even sure how I would face you the next day, so I didn't."

"Why were you scared?" I ask because I am really curious.

"I was scared because for one, I never have feelings for people. And when I found out that the two people I was crushing on were the same person, I just freaked out. And I was scared that if you knew I was LABabe4u then you wouldn't want anything to do with me." Ashley said in one breath.

"Why wouldn't I want anything to do with you? I told you that I liked Ashley and LAbabe4u." I am confused.

"I know but you didn't know that I was LAbabe4u. If I had told you, then you would have thought that Ashley, the friend that you just made, lied to you about everything. I thought that once you figured out that I was gay and in a fake relationship, then you would hate me." She says sadly and looks down.

"I would not have hated you for that. I understand why you do it. I just wish you would have told me sooner." I tell her honestly.

"I would have, but every time I went to talk to you, Kendra or Chelsea and Carmen were around. And I wasn't sure how to bring it up."

"Then what made you finally do it at the party? Why did you even follow us into the room?" I ask.

"I was watching you and Kendra all night, even though I didn't want to. I just couldn't take my eyes off of you two. I got so jealous when I saw you two going upstairs, that I knew I had to say something."

I probably would have done the same thing if I was in her position.

"If you would have talked to me, I probably would not have been with her in the first place."

She smiles after I say this, but unfortunately she will not be smiling for long.

"But I do want to know something." She gives me a questioning look, and I lean back in my chair. "Tell me what happened between you and Kendra." And her frown is gone.

"Have you talked to her about this already?" She asks with a shaky voice.

"Yea last night, she told me her side and I want to know your side of the story now."

"I guess that's fair enough. But I should tell you that her story is mostly correct, unfortunately." She says with a sorrowful look. "Ok so we met at the club and we became friends with benefits. She was really the only real friend I had besides Aiden. After we were done, you know, we would just talk and I started to appreciate having her there for the talks almost more than the sex. One day, Madison came over to my house after Kendra was leaving and she saw us kissing by the door. She waited in her car until after Kendra left to come in. She confronted me about it and told me that if I didn't stop seeing her then she would tell the whole school about us and that I would be kicked off the squad. At the time, I really didn't want that so I gave up my friendship with Kendra just because I didn't want to deal with the school knowing I was gay."

She sighed and stood up then she began pacing.

"When I got to school the next day, everyone was looking at me with pity in their eyes. I had no idea what was going on. I asked some of the cheerleaders on the squad and they told me that Madison told the whole squad that when she came over to my house, she saw Kendra trying to kiss me. I was so pissed. I went up to Madison and yelled at her for it. She told me that there couldn't be a gay cheerleader so she had to do something before Kendra did." She wiped her eyes, and this reminded me of Kendra crying when she told me this story. "When we ran into Kendra that day, I couldn't even look her in the eye. Madison yelled at her saying that she should stop attacking me because I wasn't gay. I know I should have stood up for her, but I didn't. I just sat back and let everyone hate her and call her names." She was full on crying now. I feel bad for both for both of them. And now I hate that slut, Madison.

"Why didn't you say anything?" I probe.

She let out a bitter laugh. "Because I cared so much about what everyone thought of me. I didn't want to deal with being gay, so I said nothing and let her get harassed."

"Have you tried to apologize or anything? I mean she is still really hurt by that." I tell her.

"I know, but I am too much of a coward to face her. I do miss her though." I raise my eyebrow at her. "Not like that but as a friend."

"She is a great friend. I'm glad she's in my life." I say honestly.

Ashley opens her mouth like she wants to say something, but then shuts it. "What?" I question.

"Are…are you two…um together?" She asks hesitantly.

"Um not officially. We went out on a date, but last night is as close as we got."

"Oh do you like her?" She asks, and I am not sure if I want to answer.

Do I tell her that I like her a lot more than I like Kendra? I don't know what's going to happen between me and Ashley or me and Kendra. Fucking high school drama.

"Yea I do." Nothing better than the truth.

"Oh." She says a little dejectedly. "So do you forgive me for all of the stupid things I've done?"

"I will, on two conditions." I say with a smile.

"Ok name them." She replies happily.

"One, you apologize to Kendra." She doesn't look to happy about that one. "Two, you never ignore me again. If you have a problem, please come and talk to me about it."

"Deal. Can we shake on it?" She is so cute. I nod and she puts out her hand for a hand shake, but I pull her in for a hug instead. She lets out a happy sigh and I almost lose myself in her smell. When we pull back she says "Thank you."

"For what?" I respond.

"For forgiving me and making me happy." She grins.

"Yea yea." I say and then my stomach starts grumbling.

"Sounds like someone's hungry. Do you want to go get something to eat?" Aww she's sweet.

"Yea that sounds good actually. Let's go see if the guys want anything." I say as I walk out my bedroom door.

I walk to Glen's room and knock, but I get no answer. They are probably so into their game, that they didn't hear the door.

I shake my head at that thought and open the door. "Hey Gle…whoa. What the fuck?"

I think I just lost my appetite.

A/N: Yay cliff hanger! I hope you enjoyed the chapter, it wasn't one of my favorites but it was necessary. Let me know what you think!
