Day #11: Brendon/Spencer fic
Title: Sparks Inside of Me
Excerpt: The air in the van smells like air-conditioning and Brendon. Spencer thinks he must be going insane. He nudges Jackie with the heel of his hand and she looks away from the window slowly. Her eyes read What the hell do you want? but she says, "Yeah?"
Spencer shrugs and makes a stupid face. She looks nervous and kind of teary. Spencer acknowledges that she's doing this alone, without her friends, in a strange place, and without Crystal for the first time in her life, like, ever. At least when Spencer had been traveling around in a shitty van at eighteen he'd had Brendon, Ryan and Brent.
He says, "It'll get easier," and a tear streams down her cheek. He reaches over and wipes it away for her and she nods. Up front, his mom and dad exchange a quick glance, but no one says anything after that.

Notes: Firstly, late because my computer crashed with a virus! ): Also, this started out as a story about Spencer and his sister, and evolved into something completely different.
