So this is going to be a short multi-chapter story. It'll have about 4-5 chapters. I haven't written the other chapters yet, but i know how I want them to go.
Chapter 1: Once a member, always a member
Spencer's POV:
It's been two weeks since Toby and I got back together. Even though we talked a little bit about his reasons for being in the A team back at the motel there's still a lot we have to talk about, but I just don't know how to bring the topic up, we both know that sooner or later we'll have to talk about it, but it's like for those past two weeks we've been jumping around the topic, never really touching it. I was going to just get it out of the way that very first day after that night, but he was acting so strange and I started to wonder if he's still part of the A team, then I found out about his mom and that made me remember what I did to her grave, when we do have this talk I'll have to tell him what I did and I'm not sure if I can do that.
"What are you thinking about?" Toby asks sitting down on his couch next to me. He puts his arm around my shoulder, but he doesn't bring me closer to him like he would've before I walked in on him in my kitchen. He's been acting this way ever since, he just seems a little... careful around me, like he's not sure where exactly our relationship stand right now, I mean he does kiss me, but it's not as heated. I put my head on his shoulder and sigh. Maybe I should bring it up? The sooner we get it out of the way, the better. Just as I'm about to open my mouth my phone rings signaling a new text. I tense up and he notices it. I sit up leaving his warm embrace to get my phone out of my bag. I open the text.
'Comfortable with your boy toy? Careful who you trust Spence, once a member, always a member.
-A'
"Who is it?" Toby asks carefully. I quickly shove my phone back into my bag.
"It's just Aria." I answer. I'm surprised at how convincing I sound, since when did I become such a good liar? But the look in Toby's eyes tells me that he's not buying it.
"Is Aria code for A?" He asks avoiding my eyes. The message is just A messing with me right? Well he did steel that RV from us, but he did it because of his mother.
"Toby." I say softly. I can tell how guilty he still feels.
"It's fine, I get it, you don't have to tell me." He says quietly. He tries to hide it but I understand the true meaning obehind his words - 'You don't trust me and you have every right to'. I sigh, take out my phone, open the message and give my phone to him. He gives me a confused look, then takes the phone from me and reads the message. His eyes go wide.
"Spencer, I swear it's not true. They're trying to turn you against me, I-" He starts rambling, his eyes begging me to believe him.
"I know it's not true." I say cutting him off. He puts my phone on the table in front of him and looks at me.
"You do?" He asks shocked.
"Yeah, A's just trying to mess with us." I say. I trust him and I know how much A likes those kind of mind games, if Toby told me that he's not with the A team anymore, then I believe him.
Toby's POV:
Thank God she believes me, even if I don't deserve it. After everything that I did, how can she still trust me? I always thought that after finding out she wouldn't want to have anything to do with me anymore, I was so sure that I screwed up our relationship beyond repair, but she forgave me and gave me a second chance, which I am so thankful for. She sits back down next to me and the next thing I know she's kissing me. I instantly kiss her back. Our kiss is gentle and so are my movements, I don't want to push her, I mean if I was in her place I'd probably want some time before things would go back to the way they used to be.
Spencer just left and now I'm alone in my loft. I know that we'll have to talk about me being in the A team, I know her, she's not going to just let this go without a further explanation, but she hasn't brought it up yet and I'm scared to do it. The conversation is definitely not going to be an easy one. I'm actually surprised that she hasn't brought it up yet, maybe she's as nervous about it as I am? My phone rings and I look at the screen only to see that it's a text message form an unknown number. I open it.
'We'll see how much she'll still trust you when I'll tell her who killed Ian.
-A'
No, I can't let A tell her before I do. But how do I tell her? We haven't talked about any of this yet, it's not like I can just walk up to her and say 'Hey Spence, how's it going? By the way it was me who killed Ian. You want some coffee?' it's just not that simple. I hate A and I hate myself for ever working for her. I angrily throw my phone on the couch beside me. Something has to be done about that devil. Suddenly my phone rings again. I look at it.
'Here's the deal, if you want to end this meet me in the park in an hour and don't forget to wear your A costume. If you don't Spencer will find out your dirty little secret.
-A'
I'm 100% sure this is a trap, but what choice do I have? Of course I could go to Spencer's house right now and tell her everything, but maybe if I went I would finally find out who red coat is, or at least another member of the A team. Maybe I really could finally end this.
I sit down on a bench in the park. I'm wearing the black hood and globes just like A told me to. I keep on nervously looking around me. I hear something behind me.
"Hello?" I ask quickly standing up. I hear footsteps behind the trees, so without even thinking about it I run there. There I see the RV with A's lair, or maybe it's just a similar looking RV? Something tells me that the RV is not where I want to go, it's not like A to just give up something like that without a prize, but my curiosity gets the better of me and I slowly walk inside, tying to be as quiet as possible. It is the lair, but why would A bring me here? The only thing that seems out of place is a news paper glued to the wall right in front of me. I feel something sharp hit the back of my head and everything goes dark.
Spencer's POV:
I'm about to go to bed when my phone rings. I hesitantly open the text message.
'Like I said, once a member, always a member.
-A'
There's a photo attached to it, I open it and gasp. It's Toby dressed in a black hood and globes in A's lair. Maybe it's a picture from before? But then I notice today's news paper that he's looking at. My phone falls to the ground and I break down crying.
Well what do you think? Like it? Hate it? Want me to continue? If you have any suggestions on how you want this story to go feel free to tell me. The next chapter should be up soon depending on how many reviews I get, because like I said before reviews inspire me to write. So please review :)
