The two sat in silence unsure about how to go on, Ashley licked her lips in concentration, “Look lets forget about that for now and go on with the session,”  Spencer nodded in agreement not wanting to think about everything again, “So yesterday I asked about your relationship with your parents, let’s start there.”

Spencer sighed knowing there was no way out. If she didn’t talk to Ashley than she’d be sent to the psych ward, “My dad left us when I was six. He was great always joking around and making me smile, helping me with my homework or taking Clay, Glen and I to the park to play.”

“Clay?” Ashley asked searching her notes and memories, she knew of Glen, the boy was a basketball player dating Madison.

“My oldest brother, he’s um twenty nine living in Oregon with his um husband Carl,” her voice trailed off as all the feelings of abandonment and guilt washed over her.

“His husband, your brother is gay?” Ashley was shocked, how could the blonde be so mean toward her sexuality when she had a gay brother in the family.

“Yea, my mom found out when he was fifteen. Him and Carl met freshmen year of high school, things started getting tense around the house until she finally threw him out. Carl’s family took them in but they had to move to Oregon, I was eight, which was the last time I saw my brother face to face.”

“Have you talked to him?”

“Not since my sixteenth birthday,”

“What happened?” Ashley was glancing between her notebook, which she was constantly writing in at the moment, to Spencer who just stared down at her lap.

Tears threatened to fall but the woman held back like she taught her self so many years ago, “I was bitch to him…it was a bad day. Everyone forgot my birthday, my friends, my mom she was at work and Glen was off with Madison doing God knows what, not even a single happy birthday Spence. I woke up alone in the house.” She sighed tilting her head back to keep the water from drifting out of her eyes which seemed to get harder and harder to do, “We got to talking about him not being around and I said some things that I really didn’t mean to…Carl sends me pictures and letters though, I love him to death for that.”
