“…then I would want to spend more time with her…at the mall” her brother said walking in grabbing a pop out of the refrigerator

“it’s true…but it didn’t work out…”

“too bad…” I said laughing a little then her mom started laughing too

“so I’m sorry you don’t get to meet Spencer’s dad…he’s at his brothers house helping him fix his car or something…”

“oh it’s no problem…”

“hey you ready?” Spencer said walking into the kitchen and my jaw dropped, she was wearing tight jeans with a clandestine t-shirt designed by Pete Wentz…she looked so good…”

“uh, uh yeah…” I said getting up “…it was nice meeting you Mrs. Carlin…”

“same to you…Spencer if it runs past 12 then just stay at Ashley’s…”

“ok mom…” she said then we walked out the front door

“so…you told your mom I was gay?” I asked

“oh…um…it kind of slipped?”

“haha slipped?”

“you’re not mad are  you? I could just say I was lying then…” I cut her off

“…spence, it’s no big deal…I mean, she’s cool with it, but I’m out…I am who I am, no reason in hiding it…” I said opening the door for her “…it’s just not a lot of my friends tell their parents I’m a lesbian.”

“you make that seem so easy…”

“…yeah well, it’s not…I mean I wish I could say it was, but it was far from it…at least your mom is gay friendly…my mom was totally opposite…”

“really? What happened?” she asked as we drove to the concert

“well…if I weren’t 15 she would have kicked me out of the house…”

“so what’d she do?”

“ignored me…I mean, she knew I wouldn’t change…but then again she still doesn’t really accept it…”

“what about your dad?”

“he’s cool…he loves me no matter who I am ya know? Just because I’m gay doesn’t change the fact I’m the daughter he knew to love…”

“yeah…” she said thinking to herself

then we parked my car and got out and I took her hand in mine

“so…thanks for coming tonight…”

“yeah well…if it weren’t Paramore I may have had to reconsider…”

“ooh…ouch…” I said making her laugh “…well I have a surprise for you…”
