Everything had changed. That was an understatement; for Spencer Rosewood became an entirely different world than the one she once knew. Most of the changes were bad. That was an understatement too, considering she was now 'a person of interest' in one of her best friend's murder case. Everyone considered her, Emily, Hanna and Aria to be liars, their parents even began to question their mental health. In a house where she was known as the compulsive liar, she now needed a shrink too.
Actually, on second thought pondered Spencer, a shrink could help. Only a crazy person would go through all of this again if they had the chance right? Sitting on her bed, the only thought that ran through her mind was yes, if it meant the outcome would involve Toby Cavanaugh stating he'd be there for her no matter what, she would go through this hell as if it were groundhog day. As long as Toby was Part of the deal, it was worth it.
It was hard to believe that Toby, the introvert murder suspect was now her boyfriend. If only their relationship didn't have to be a secret, if only it didn't have to feel like she was Juliet, and he was Romeo, because everyone knew they ended up dead. If only Toby could take her to prom, like a normal teenage couple, but there was nothing normal about their lives any longer. As all these thoughts filled her mind, her second cell phone rang. Why did she have a second cell phone, well this was the secret one her parents didn't know about, this was the only way she could be in contact with her boyfriend, without actually being in contact with him.
' I was just thinking about you'. With Toby, Spencer didn't need her guard up, she trusted him with her life, so telling him he was on her mind wasn't a problem.
'Only now? I'm always thinking of you. Did I ever tell you how cute you look when you blush?'
'And how is it that you know I'm blushing?'
'Because I know you'.
