It was the summer of 8th grade. Spencer and Toby have been seeing each other for weeks. They've trusted each other with most of their secrets, despite the fact that they haven't been dating that long. It all started with being paired up for a school project, but they couldn't be happier with the results.

As time passes, Spencer confides in Toby and tells him secrets – deeper secrets - like how she kissed Ian, Melissa's boyfriend, and now Alison is threatening she'll tell Melissa if Spencer doesn't.

Toby is glad she trusts him, and tells her a secret he hasn't told a soul. He tells her how Jenna was forcing herself on him. Of course, this is more concerning to Spencer than some stupid kissing session with her sibling's boyfriend, and she tells him that he should tell somebody.

It's only when he tells her that she can make it seem like he was doing it does she stop telling him to do it.

They support and comfort each other, and they couldn't be happier that they were together.

Toby is relieved to have Spencer. She's the most amazing, beautiful girl he's ever laid his piercing eyes on. On top of that, she's one of the only people that knows he didn't blind Jenna. Because she was the one who did.

Well, it was Alison anyways, and Toby knew that. No matter how much Toby told her otherwise, Spencer still felt guilty. She said she was the one who handed her the lighter. She said she was the one who handed her the lighter. It broke Toby's heart to know she felt so guilty over something that Alison had done.

Toby's parents were going to send him away to reform school because they thought he was the reason Jenna was blind. The only reason he didn't go was because Jenna convinced them not to. Now he owes her, and she won't let him forget it.

It was their one month anniversary today, also known as Labor day. Toby was walking to Spencer's house, with chocolate and flowers in hand. It was cheesy, but they were a cheesy couple, and he knew Spencer would love it. She spent the night in her barn with Alison and the girls, so he was going to surprise her at the barn. He approached the double doors and knocked, no answer. He knocked again. No answer. Maybe they were still asleep? Toby decided to open the doors, praying to the gods above that they weren't half naked. But when he opened the doors, he realized the barn was empty. There were still blankets and pillows, but it was unoccupied. Maybe they went inside?

He went back to the house and knocked. This time it was opened, by no other than Mrs Hastings.

"Toby…" She said. Toby greeted her with a smile. He knew that she wasn't her biggest fan because of the Jenna thing, but she was a lawyer, so he was innocent until proven guilty.

Except there was something different about her features. Her normally determined look on her face was replaced with one of fear and anxiousness.

"Well, you were seeing my daughter… you should come inside." She opened the door further and motioned him to come in. What did she mean by were? Did she want him and Spencer to stop seeing each other? Well, she picked a bad day.

But as he stepped inside the large house, he realized that probably wasn't the case. In the living room, there was Mr Hastings, Melissa and Ian, Alison, Aria, Hanna and Emily. But where was Spencer?

All of a sudden he felt pretty silly walking in with chocolate and flowers. He set them down on the table and said, "These are for Spencer," This gave him a loud sob from Melissa and sniffles from the girls, even Alison.

"Toby, have a seat," Mrs Hastings motioned to the couches that were occupied by people. He took a seat next to Emily.

"Toby… Spencer is missing." There was a long silence in the room as this sunk in.

"What?" He choked.

Alison cleared her threat. "We were having a sleepover in the barn. We fell asleep and when we woke up at probably 2AM, she was gone. I was up before the rest of them, and, I… I think I heard her scream," Alison stuttered.

"We called. They have to wait 24 hours before she's classified as missing. If she's not back by tomorrow then they'll look into it." Mr Hastings said.

The next day, it was in the papers. On the front cover, on the news, and soon posters were hanging all over Rosewood. Toby still couldn't believe it. Spencer was missing.
