"I’ll talk to her, ok?"  Ashley said.

"Ok baby."  Spencer replied kissing Ashley on the cheek.

"Taylor, can I talk to you?"  Ashley asked walking into her room.

"You sure can."  Taylor said turning off her iPod.

"How about you just listen, and if you have anything to ask or whatever, wait until the end."  Ashley said.

Taylor nodded.  "Right, so your Mom and I know that it’s around that time that a lot of teenagers think about having sex.  I’m not going to sit here and tell you that you can’t have sex because that isn’t my decision.  I just want you to be wise about it.  Your Mom was not my first, and I regret that every single day.  When she lost her virginity to me, I hurt so bad after that because I couldn’t give her mine.  I just want you to be sure that you really want to be with the person that you decide to do it with.  Be smart.  It’s ok to ask about someone else’s sexual history.  Ok, ignore that, I sound like an infomercial.  Seriously though, ask.  It can’t hurt anything.  Don’t do it if you aren’t ready, and if it’s with a guy, wear a condom.  Actually, scratch that, if you are going to sleep with a guy, I’d really like it if you let me and your Mom get you put on birth control just to be safe.  Still use a condom though.  And, if it’s a girl, make sure she isn’t a whore."  Ashley finished looking at Taylor.

"That all?"  Taylor asked.

"I think so."  Ashley said pretending to think really hard.

"I know Mom.  Really, I do.  I don’t see how I could sleep with anyone anytime soon.  I’m fifteen, but I get why you want to talk. And, I, I, really miss Sam."  Taylor said putting her head down.

"I know baby."  Ashley said rubbing Taylor’s back.

"They say that time heals all wounds, but I’m starting to think that isn’t true.  It’s been seven years since she left the right time and a year since she stopped talking to me."  Taylor said crying.

"You’ll find someone.  I promise, and Sam won’t matter.  I know it hurts, but you have to give it time.  Sometimes when you aren’t looking, it’ll bite you in the ass."  Ashley said.
