Sparia (LGBT)

Misery Loves Company

"Come on Spence, why don't you want me to share this with the rest of the girls? It's just Toby."

"No, you understand, they won't." Spencer crossed her arms as she shivered oh so slightly at the thought of telling the others. Or maybe it was the cold in the room. Even if there were no exits, a cool breeze blew through the building every now and then.

"Come on! We all have dealt with break ups, why can't we share this?"

"This one is different." Spencer looked like she either had an idea or knew something I didn't.

"What?" I said it calmly, not like I was prying for an answer, but like I knew she had one for me. She shook her head 'no', I knew she would give, I just had to encourage her, "Spencer," I grabbed her hand and rubbed it softly with my thumb, "How about a little team Sparia?"

She smiled at her Converse, but I needed to seal the deal by looking in her eyes and then hugging her. This part was easier, not only was I shorter than her, but she also had always loved my eyes. I looked up at her eyes and tilted my head slightly, "Hey."

She fell right into my trap, she looked deep in my eyes and smiled softly, "What do you say?" I asked cautiously.

"Hell yeah." She smelled and pulled me close.

"So, what's up?" Again, with the shoes. This time after a second or two, Spencer looked down at my face.

"You know how Toby had to work for A for a little while?" Nod, "He brought it up again, I didn't know why at first, but then I remembered. You know how his water was off? And he had to shower at my house? Well, I might have twisted the truth a tad bit."

"Spence." My voice was on the verge of anger, but I calmed it enough to only sound worried. There were already enough secrets as is, why make more?

"I know, I know, but I'll tell you what really happened. So, I had like, seen in Toby's closet before, to borrow a shirt one time. And I saw the A jacket. I knew he had to be A, or at least one of the As. I wanted to set up the dinner anyway, but know I had even more of a reason to. I was just going to do a little investigating to see if he was being forced into it, but when I saw him there, in the dark, he almost smiled. He didn't, not really, but I could see that if he did, it would be natural. I don't know what I was thinking, but I wasn't even angry. I was almost relieved, to have him basically be breaking up with me. I told all of you girls that I went to see him later and just cried at his doorstep. But really I went to thank him. For leaving me. We have been fake dating since then, as a cover."

My eyes widened, I expected her to say something about how she had a crush on someone else, or she wanted to have a change in her love life or something. Not that.

"So, all this time- while you've been " dating" or whatever- have you really been dating?" She shook her head as her hair fell in her face. "Well, no more secrets, okay? We have to tell the others."

"But what if they hate me for keeping it this long?"

"I don't know. I'm on your side though. But what did you need a cover for? It isn't like anyone would hate you for not liking someone anymore." I really didn't understand what was happening, but I was determined to find out.

"Um. I. Aria..." She stumbled on each syllable, right as I was about to tell her to breath or relax or something she came down on my lips quick and soft. My eyes opened wide and hers were shut, obviously enjoying the moment.

"Spencer!" I pushed her off me. Sure she was good at kissing and I accepted her for who she was, but I wasn't gay. I didn't want to offend her, "Sorry, I was just surprised. Um. Lets, I, I don't think I like girls in that way." I wiped off her saliva and shook my head.

"Oh-okay." She seemed ashamed, god what have I done? I thought.

"Spence," touch on the arm, "I didn't mean it like that, I just think you and Emily would be a better match. We should talk to the others definitely now though. We don't even have to tell them about the whole Toby thing. Just that you are-" I coughed not knowing how to say it. Sure with Emily it was easy now, but Spencer? She seemed really happy with Toby. But that is just it; seemed. She seemed happy. She seemed straight. She seemed to really enjoy that kiss. Still blushing and everything.

"Okay. But can you do the talking? And can I be in a different room when you do it?" I smiled trying to tell her it would be okay. She didn't receive the message because she still looked nervous.

We got out to one of the bigger room of the Doll House to meet with the other girls, right as we were about to tell them about the break up, an alarm sounded.
