Toby POV

Out of everything I had done in my life, this was the worst. I had joined the "A Team" after being forced into

it by Mona.

Spencer and I had argued over why she was keeping secrets from me regarding disturbing text messages. I told her that if she didn't tell me what was going on I would find out myself.

That I did.

I had uncovered everything that Spence was hiding and somehow became involved in it as Mona had guarenteed me, that because I knew the truth she would kill Spencer if I didn't comply.

I couldn't bear the separation any longer I had to see Spencer and tell her everything, I hated the lies and the guilt I felt.

As I left to see her I recieved a text from Mona:

32 Rte 6. Be there at 9 tonight - A

As I arrived, I was greeted by Marlene, the waitress who usually served me.

"Seat yourself pretty eyes"

I laughed to myself inside, I'd told her on many ocassions, to call me Toby.

I spotted Mona sitting in a booth to the back of the diner.

"Hanna got the job"

"I know" A familiar voice exclaimed as they looked up.

"Spencer"

"When I was in Radley, Mona told me that you were alive. I wanted to believe her but until now... Back in the woods, was that you? Were you a part of it?"

"Mona told me after"

"And you let me believe that you were dead?" She said breaking into tears, all I wanted to do was hold her and kiss her.

"Everything I've done... so I could protect you. "

" I want to believe that."

"Let me take you somewhere safe." I paused, "Does Mona know you're here?"

"No. She told me that you would be there Friday, that you would be my reward for delivering the girls."

"How'd you find me?"

"She left me alone in her lair." She paused. "I kidnapped a 7-year-old. I'm the reason Aria and Ezra broke up. So I've earned her trust."

" It's not safe for you to be here." I said with desparation.

"I stopped worrying about me a long time ago."

"What we had was real. I've been pretending to work with Mona so I could keep you safe. I need you to believe me... and I need you to follow me." I said, getting up and walking towards the door.

Spencer POV

I missed Toby more than anything, I wanted to believe him but he had us all fooled for so long and betrayed me. I thought to myself as I followed him to his motel.

"Doesn't look like anybody lives here."

"I've shuffled between a few motels. Mona doesn't know about this. " He said as he handed me a cup of coffee, our hands touched briefly before he pulled away.

"And Red Coat?"

"The only thing I know about Red Coat is that she's in charge. "

"I know."

"You still don't trust me."

"Look, I understand why you've been helping Mona. I made the same decision. But if I saw you hurting, the way that I know that you saw me..." I trailed off before I could burst into tears. "Toby..."

He looked up at me, his eyes filled with tears, and I knew he was genuine and that I could believe and trust him.

I knealt down as he pulled me toward him and we kissed, renewing our love.

6 weeks after 3x24

Spencer POV

As I wrapped up my after school study, my phone vibrated.

Still up for that run? So I can kick your ass once again? Toby x

I laughed to myself, it was not a complete ass kicking but it was a challenge.

You're on! See you in 10. Spence x

Toby POV

"Hey!" I said as Specer ran into my arms and we kissed.

"Youre trying to throw me off my game aren't you?"

"Mmhmm maybe" I laughed placing her back on the ground.

"Ready set go" She laughed as I placed her on the ground, running off into the distance.

"You know I can outrun you" I yelled catching up to her.

We ran for two kms, to school and back, it being fairly even "race".

As we turned the corner of our street, Spencer slowed down and stopped, as I sped up ahead.

"I told you I could beat you" I yelled from four houses away, as Spencer stumbled trying to regain her balance.

I ran to her, as she gripped a fence, holding herself up.

"Spence, you okay?" I said concerned with my hands holding her waist keeping her up.

"Yeah... I... Just... Pushed... Myself... Too... Hard" She puffed.

"I'll carry you home huh" I laughed, cupping her face.

But as I went to pick her up and carry her on my back, Spencer went limp in my arms.

"Spencer! Spence, can you hear me? Spence" I yelled shaking her lightly. But she didnt response nor move.

I ran with her in my arms to Emily's house, the closest persons house to where we were.

"Em!" I screamed as I ran up her porch steps, Spencer still limp in my arms.

"Toby! What happened" Em cried.

"She collapsed after going for a run, I dont know what happened, she ran out of breath and then she collapsed."

"I'll drive you to the hospital" Emily said runnin inside and grabbing her keys.

Emily POV

"Can someone just tell me what's going on?" Toby yelled to the receptionist.

"Toby, calm down, this isnt helping!" I said pulling Toby back trying to calm him down.

"Miss Hastings parents have been contacted, so I can let you know how she's doing and see her after I have spoken to her first." The nurse informed.

"Thank you" Toby said sighing.

The nurse came bak within 10 minutes, informing us that we could see Spencer.

"Hey" Toby said kissing Spencer on the forehead as we walked in.

"You gave us quite a scare, Spence" he continued.

"The doctor said that I just had low blood pressure, because I hant eaten enough today - because I was in study mode - but she said just to take it easy." She smiled, Spencer never liked to look weak to anyone.

"We're so glad you're okay" I smiled to her.

"I'm going to get you something to eat before you pass out on us again" Toby announced walking out the door " I'll be back in a few"

As the door closed Spencer started to cry.

"I havent told you the whole truth, when the nurse came in here before she told me..."

"Told you what?"

"I'm pregnant"
