“He's the fucking reason I left in the first place.”
“Thea come on that was a hard time for him you can't hold it against him.”
“He's not the only person who lost Dan we lost him too, Spencer was nowhere to be fucking found and when he was around he was very distant. He wasn't there when I needed him the most we were suppose to be there for each other and he wasn't.” I take a deep breath trying to calm myself down he doesn't know how much that hurt me when he pushed me away.
“He didn't mean to Thea he really didn't, he didn't know how to help you when he couldn't even help himself. It was hard for us all especially when you left us it was even harder. I will always care about you and look after you that will never change. He didn't even hesitate when your mom sold you to him so she can get out he said yes. He will not let anyone hurt you not even your fucking mother he made a promise and he never went back on it, he never will either you are his whole world Thea, even if you hate him you mean everything to him and he would do anything to get you back.”
“Like keep me as his prisoner.”
“If he has to yeah he would, there's nothing he wouldn't do to protect you even making you hate him.”
“Why would he make me hate him?”
“Because he knows the only way to keep you safe is for you to hate him. We think your mom is up to something we just don't know what it is yet. He's not the only person that wants you to stay in the house, I do too.”
“For my safety.”
“Yes, but that's not the only reason we miss you. We been trying to figure out how to get you back home.”
“He didn't mention he thought she was up to something just that he has someone watching her.”
“Of course he's not going to tell you, we don't know how you would act.”
“Is that the only reason?”
“What other reason would it be Thea?”
“My loyalty.”
“What about it? Thea do you really think we don’t know where your loyalty lies at?” I shrug my shoulders. Jasper’s face turns red and I’ve never seen him this upset before, I don’t like it.
“Really Thea is that what you think of us, we are your family even if we are not the family you want it’s what you have and you should be fucking grateful for having a family that loves you no matter what, not everyone has that.” Jasper was about to storm out of my room but I grab his arm.
“I’m sorry Jasper I’m being a bitch, today hasn’t been a good day for me. It’s good to know that you trust me.”
“Spencer does too.”
“Does he? You say all this just, but I would like to hear it from him. Shit it would be nice if he shows it to me.”
“You still love him don’t you?”
“No matter how much I try not to I do still love him, I will always be loyal to him and you, that will never change.”
“Good. Get some rest it’s been a long day.”
“The Cupcakes! Give one to Spencer for me.”
“Will do if he hasn’t already eaten it.” I smile at that comment. Spencer was also the first one to taste anything I bake. I hope that things can go back to normal. Maybe since I’m back home I hope it might. Maybe something good can come out of this I’ve been in love with Spencer since I was a kid who knows maybe I can finally get what I want before that can happen I want to hear him say I’m sorry.
Four Years Ago
We buried Dan two weeks ago and I haven’t seen Spencer since. I feel like he’s avoiding me ever since his dad was killed. He doesn’t understand how much of this is hurting me, not only did we lose Dan, but I’m losing him as well. Walking out of my room I bumped into Spencer.
“Hey can we talk?”
“Not right now I’m busy.”
“What else is new?”
