Dad was over at the wood pile, he stopped and looked at me as I ran out screaming.
I reached him panting, "dad, why is Spinners stuff in my room?" I said making sure I added a hint of annoyance.
"You mean his AND your room." He corrected me.
"WHAT?!!!" I screamed in his face, " YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I AM SHARING A ROOM WITH THAT DEAD BEAT, UNEMOTIONAL , SHIT HEAD???!! What sort of a father are you."
I turned around to walk back to the house but blocking my path was Spinner. Shit.
Spinner turned his back to me and started to walk away.
"Spinner," I pleaded, "please I didn't mean it like that," I found it hard to lie because I had ment it like that but I regretted it, " Spinner, listen to me." I grabbed his arm and spun him around , I searched his chocolate brown eyes for any emotion at all. He yanked him arm out of my grasp and our eye connection was torn as he turned his head away.
He walked towards the house, and I followed pleading him. I followed him into the house and to my- I mean our room.
He entered the room and I tried to join him but he stopped me by slamming the door in my face. I stood outside resting my head against the door, " Spinner please, just hear me out" I heard a grinding sound,"Spinner are you there?" I opened the door only to find an empty room with an open window. Of course the window!
I stood at the window sill looking around outside. No sign of Spinner. I ran out the door and jump the few stairs from the porch to the ground. Dads truck was just out the door I jumped in and started to drive. I drove down the road past the Van Housten property. I kept my eye out out for Spinner. I saw a flash of red out of the corner of my eye I looked towards it, Spinner? No. I turned back to the road, only to step on the break and skid to a stop. There he was, Spinner.
I got out of the truck and ran towards him,"Spinner!" He turned around, " I slowed down and walked the rest of the way towards him," Spinner come back to the ranch with me please." He looked down
"Why? So you can tell me I'm useless?"
"No. So you can help me out." I said with a sly smile hoping he would return it.
" Why else?"
"Because I'll let you sleep in the bed instead of the mattress."
"Really?" He said disbelievingly with a small smile
"Well.. maybe for a couple of nights." I said grinning foolishly,
"I might come back, but ONLY if I get the bed for a week."
"Fine. Now let's go dad will get pissed if we're not back soon."
"Fair enough."
I got back in the truck and Spinner got in the other side.

"I'll get changed first" I said, " then you can get changed k?"
"Whatever."
"Cool."
I got out my pj's and got changed, but while I was getting changed,
"April have you seen my-"
"SPINNER YOU PERV GET OUT!"
"Oops wow sorry I -uh forgot um sorry" and with that he shut the door and walked out.
