*Spencer starts to say something but stops himself. His jaw clenching and his mouth is twisted into a frown.*

Spence...I know you're not happy with me.

*His face softens and he pulls Sel into a hug.* It's not that I'm not happy with you. I just... you said you want to forget but you can't. I said you should turn that son of a-- jerk in and you won't. I've tried to just be quiet and support you but nothin's getting better.

I like you Sel. I like you a lot but... I think you need space to sort things out for yourself.

Leaving me to take care of it alone isn't gonna solve anything. It'll make me hurt more.

I don't want to push you away. Even if I do turn him in...it's not gonna make me feel any better about what he did. I mean, sure, he won't be able to do it again, but it doesn't change the fact that he did it.

How do you know it won't help? How do you know watching that bastard pay for what he did and ensuring that he won't do it to some other girl won't help you heal? I mean what exactly are you strugglin' with? If ya don't feel safe then lets do somethin' so you do.

I'm startin' to think you've got more goin' on than I can deal with. I'm sorry.

Then leave, Spence. You don't want to deal with my problems? Fine. You shouldn't have to anyway. But don't think you can come back when everything gets better, because it will. I know it will.

You can't just stick around for the good things and leave me when it gets bad.

*Sighs and rubs the back of his neck. This conversation wasn't going as well as he hoped*

Please don't be that way. I don't just want to be around when things are goin' well. I mean it Sel I like you. I'm just tired of feelin' confused like I don't know where I stand. You don't want to push me away but ya have for a while now and I let ya because I thought that was what you needed. I still think that's what you need. Space and maybe someone professional for you to talk to. It doesn't have to be goodbye. We can just slow things down.
