As I saw the scene in front of me, I was unable to comprehend what was happening. Brooke was standing next to Ashley’s bedside holding her hand. I heard her say, ‘Ash you have to get better, I am unable to come back here because if Spencer knew, it would hurt her. I love you and I need for you to be better. I cannot believe you came here to find me, baby I will love you forever’. Brooke held up Ashley’s hand and tears flowed all over her fingers. She cried a small cry and as I looked in, I noticed a hand extend from behind her reach over her shoulder. A woman bent down and seemed to be comforting Brooke, and as I strained to see who it was, I noticed it was Dr Lockhart.

                I went back down the hall, and tried to understand what I had just witnessed. My friend for years had been with my cousin. Now she flew out here to see her, she had to of known that Brooke was my family, and never once told me that she knew her. Brooke on the other hand never mentioned that she was even gay, not even when I confessed. She was right that if I knew that it would hurt me, well it does. I assume that the real reason Brooke came here was to see Ashley and Dr Lockhart must have called her. They do know each other, I knew I sensed something. When Ashley Davies wakes up from her coma, she will have a lot to explain. I sat in the lobby for a few hours, until Dr Lockhart finally found me. She walked up to the couch I was laying on.

                “Hey there, I have been looking everywhere for you Spencer. Please come back up to Ashley’s room. She is awake and has asked about you” I stood up and ran to the elevator, hoping that Brooke was gone and that Ashley and I could talk.

                Once in the room, Brooke let go of Ashley’s hand. I glared at Brooke and asked, “Ok now how long have you known each other and why didn’t either of you tell me you were together?” Brooke stepped back as Ashley extended out her arm to keep Brooke from lunging at Spencer. “I…didn’t realize that Brooke was your cousin until after you came out here and sent me the pictures of her in your emails. I was confused on how to tell you…I have had a lot on my mind, it has been on you Spencer” Ashley stated.

                “I am so sorry Spencer… but I couldn’t tell you that Ashley and I was an item, since you told me that you loved her…” and as Brooke voiced my darkest secret I turned around and ran out into the hall. Pulling back to hit the wall as I past, I felt a grip on my wrist and looked over and it was Dr Lockhart. She pulled me close to her as I was sobbing like a little kid. I fell into her arms and asked “How can they do this to me, after I told Brooke how I felt about Ashley and then they want to confess their love for each other? What about me, what about now, tell me please, please make it go away….”
