Spencer decided it was time, time to confront him for what he did. She knew that he needed that chance to explain β not that he deserved it, but because she knew she needed him to. She walked up to his loft, aware that he wasn't expecting her to be there and knocked on the door.
"Toby" - there was no response. "Toby! I know you're in there! Please let me in" She said sounding desperate. She could smell pasta which was his favourite meal, so she knew he was there. Almost 30 seconds later he opened the door. He was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans. He looked normal but all Spencer wanted to do was cry. Cry about how she lost the best boyfriend she ever had, cry about how she regret avoiding her friends, cry about how rude she was to Aria and Emily, she just wanted to cry. But she didn't. Because Spencer was Hastings and Hastings do not cry in public.
"Spencer" he looked shocked to see me there, he was probably also mortified by the way she looked. Spencer was wearing sweatpants and long sleeve blue shirt, her hair was in a messy bun and she only had mascara on. She looked like a mess and she knew it. And now so did heβ¦
"Come in, I can't believe you're here. Come in, come in" he urged.
"We need to talk, actually you need to explain yourself" Spencer was almost screaming at the point, trying to hide how upset she was and trying to stop herself from crying.
"I can explain. I promise."
"REALLY! Can you explain Toby, can you! You PROMISE you can explain huh? Because I can recall a time when you PROMISED that we would be together forever! When you promised that you would always be there for me and never hurt me! How could you promise something like that to me and then do what you did β what your still doing!" The tears were streaming down her face now. She couldn't hold them back and didn't care at this point.
"Spencer, sit down. Please sit down. Please give me a chance." She sat down and looked at him with hurt in her eyes.
"When I joined the A-Team it was after Mona was sent to Radley. When I saw you at the police station I meant what I said about loving you. I knew something was going on when you kept telling me that you couldn't explain because it was dangerous. I did a little searching and went to see Mona, that's why you found the ID Card. She told me everything and offered me a spot on the team. She said that I must hate you girls because of how you sent me away and blamed me for Jenna's accident. I took her up on it because I wanted to help you and your friends. I never did anything huge for her, mostly just putting notes in lockers and sneaking around town. I acted the way that I did when you found out because I knew Mona was watching, I knew that if she saw that I really did love you she would hurt either you or I. I was only doing to protect you. I love you Spencer. I really do and I meant what I told you about being together the rest of our lives and always being there for you. I really do love you Spencer."
Spencer was sobbing now, Toby didn't really know why or what to do. What she still mad? Should he hold her? He didn't really know what to do.
"Thank you Toby" she managed to say through her tears. He was stunned but so relieved. "Thank you for trying to protect me. That is the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me β put their life in danger. I don't deserve you. I love you too Toby."
In that instant Toby took her into his arms and held her there for what seemed like forever. Hugging her so tightly he was afraid he would hurt her. "I would do anything for you Spencer. I love you" In that instant she knew everything would be okay.
