Hey everyone!
For those of you that don't know Keegan Allen (Toby) stared in a movie called 'The Hazing Secret' that premiered last night on LMN. Well Trent, his character, shared many scenes with the leading role that I feel would be perfect for Spoby so I have decided to rewrite it!
Big shoutout to Mel for giving me the (scary) motivation to write this! =D thank ya Lucy buddy!
Spencer's POV:
I sighed as I sunk down into the corner of Melissa's sorority house, my parents have decided that I need to spend more time with my sister so here I am being left alone at her parties.
I would much rather be at the loft with Toby.
I chuckle knowing that the 8th grade version of me would be flipping out right now, due to always wanting to attend an older kid's party, and of course the 8th grade version of me would probably have Alison right by my side, but not anymore.
The 14 year old version of me would surly not be wishing that she was at Toby Cavanaugh's house, I can tell you that for a fact.
But a lot has changed since I was 14…
I yawn out of boredom as I pull my phone out of my pocket and check my text messages;
' Wanna come hang out? -H '
' Come over, pretty please? I want some team Sparia! '
' Wanna come hang with me and Maya? - E'
But only one text message stands out to me…
' Hey buttercup!
I know your probably bored right now, because your reading this, so take a walk outside and call me!
Missing you like crazy!
Love you
Toby'
I smile as I quickly get up and run outside, calling Toby as I do so. Once I am outside I sit down and lean against an old oak tree, waiting for Toby to pick up.
"Hey Spence!" Toby says, I can hear the happiness in his voice.
"Hey, thanks for the text, you totally saved me in there!" I thank him as I glance back at the house.
"No problem, I knew you'd get bored! Now why are your parents making you go to this again?" Toby asks me.
"Well last week they asked me when I talked to Melissa last and clearly I couldn't remember the last time, so I told them that and they made it very clear that I needed to spend more time with her. I laughed it off, knowing they would forget about what they said like two minutes later but they must have told Melissa. My sister, being herself, found the need to torture me so she dragged-" I was about to continue but I was interrupted by curdling scream… calling out Melissa's name.
"Spencer is everything alright?" Toby asked me, either he heard the scream or he noticed how quiet I had gotten.
"Yea- um I have to go!" I said quickly before I hung up and ran into the house.
I quickly entered the location from where the scream had come from but when I entered the room I saw something I never wanted to see… Melissa was laying unconscious on the ground with a puddle of blood surrounding her.
I screamed as I ran over and checked her pulse to confirm the unimaginable… Melissa was dead.
"Please wake up! Melissa please!" I said in a panicked voice, A lump forming in my throat.
"Come on Melissa, you are strong! Just wake up!" I yelled once more as I began to give her mouth to mouth.
"Someone call 9-11!" I called as I tried again and again. I did mouth to mouth about 30 times before I realized my attempts meant nothing, she was gone.
A few minutes later the paramedics arrived and forced me away from my sister.
I followed them outside but I was gently pulled away from the ambulance, I panicked because I didn't know who had pulled me over to the side.
"Spence, relax it's just me." Toby said very gently, as if I could break at any moment.
"Oh Toby!" I said as my voice broke, I must have forgotten to cry during the midst of everything.
"Come here baby." Toby said as he pulled me closer to him.
Once I was leaning against Toby I hold back a sob, I'm a Hastings… I have to stay collected in public.
"Spencer please don't hold it in, you can cry in front of me… I wont judge you!" With these words I let out the gut wrenching sobs that I had been holding back.
"Let's get you home." Toby said as he lifted me up and took me to his truck.
"Toby where are my parents?" I quietly asked him, thinking I already knew the answer.
"They are at the hospital, they asked me to stay with you over night." Toby told me as he wiped away my tears.
I just nodded and nuzzled myself deep down into Toby's side as he drove to my house.
Once we arrived I took in how different the Hastings' household looked. There were no other cars in the drive way and every window in the house and barn was off.
I quietly get out of the car and walk to the door as Toby follows close behind.
Once I am in my house another wave of sobs hits me as I am flooded with the Memories of me and Melissa.
Slowly I make my way up to my room, holding onto Toby for support, but once I reach the top of the stairs I face another challenge… Melissa's room.
My knees buckle once I see my sister's old room and I fall to the ground shaking in sobs, I have never felt this hopeless ever before but tonight is just different. I feel Toby wrap his arms around me and begin to rock me back and forth, whispering encouraging things into my ear.
I stay on the floor for a few more minutes but finally Toby decided to move me.
"Come on, let's get you changed and ready for bed." He says sweetly as he sets me on my bed and fetches my pajamas. I see the shirt I wore when Toby and I first kissed in one of Toby's hands and a cozy pair of plaid pants in his other hand. Leave it to Toby to find a way to make me smile.
Once I am changed Toby pulls my blankets over me and quickly hops into my bed, I immediately curl up into him and continue to cry. I have almost cried myself to sleep but right before I drift off Toby says something, he says something that gives me hope.
"Spencer I know how hard it is to lose someone, believe me I do, but I am going to promise you that it does get better! It may not feel like it now, but it does! I promise you that I will be with you every step of the way baby girl, I love you!"
Well that's the end of my first chapter!
