"Spencer!" Toby Cavanaugh said. I threw the keys to the truck at him and he caught them.

"Take it. It's yours," I said. I grinned.

"Are you crazy? Do you know how long it will take me to pay you back?" He exclaimed.

I leaned my back against the truck.

"Well, you have a job to get to tomorrow" I told him. He looked at the keys in his hand and sighed.

"I love you so much!" he said.

"Hey, I wanted to say that first" There was a big grin on my face that I could not get rid of. He took me in his arms and leaned in to kiss me. Suddenly, I was kissing him back. There was a cough that came from behind us. We pulled apart and Toby turned around. Standing behind him was Jason DiLaurentis.

"Toby, could you stop making out with Spencer and get back to work?" he said. A shiver went down my spine as I looked at Jason. Aria, Hanna, Emily and I really didn't like Jason. We suspected him for the murder of his younger sister, Alison DiLaurentis. Ali was one of our best friends. She was the girl who made the four of us popular. She was practically our sister! The 5 of us were so close until her disappearance. I remember the night that she went missing. It was still crystal clear in my memory, almost like it was yesterday. I remembered the fight we had, Ali storming out of the barn, me going after her and not being able to find her. I remember going back to the barn to find the other three girls awake and I remember telling them that Ali was gone. I bit my lip to hold back tears at the memory.

"I gotta go. I'll come over tonight" Toby gave me a quick kiss and then went back to work.

I turned around and stalked home. I went inside and slammed the door behind me. I walked slowly up the stairs and into my room to do my homework. I walked in and slammed the bedroom door. I leaned my back against the door and sighed. Why did Jason have to interrupt everything? Toby and I were having a wonderful time kissing, but then Jason just had to interrupt that didn't he? Toby and I hardly had any time for us now. What with me I pushed that thought out of my head and went over to my wardrobe to change into something comfier. I pulled out a pair of black running shorts, a tight black tank and sat down to do my calculus homework.

An hour or so later, my phone buzzed. I picked it up and saw that it was from a person who's number was blocked. I gulped and opened it up waiting to see what it said.

Looks like somebody doesn't have a date tonight. Poor little Spence. Feel like a loner yet? -A

I slammed my phone shut. I had had enough of these text messages from A. I looked around me and there was no one that I could see watching me. I got up and shut my curtains. I took my books and sat down on my bed to continue my homework. I did another couple of pages but then I just dropped my pen and leant back on my pillows. I stared at the roof for a while and then I just let my eyes close. I thought that taking a little nap would take my mind of things. I didn't really realise that I had dozed off until I was woken up by a smash downstairs. I jumped up and tiptoed down the stairs. I crept into the hallway, grabbed my hockey stick and crept to the kitchen, hockey stick poised for attack. As I entered the kitchen, I saw the shadow of a man. But as he turned around, I realised who it was! I sighed. It was Toby!

"Toby! You scared me! I thought you were…" I trailed off; I couldn't tell him that I thought he was A he would laugh at me.

"You thought I was who?" He opened his arms out to me and I stepped into them. His arms wrapped around me and automatically, I felt safe.

"I thought you were… promise not to laugh? I thought you were A!" I stammered. He sighed and kissed the top of my head.

"Oh Spencer" He laughed a soft, kind laugh. I started to giggle too. I looked up at him and smiled, he was looking down at me, grinning. We moved closer until our lips finally met. The kiss was full of passion and love and I never wanted it to end. But he was the one pulling away for air, so I took the break to ask him why he was here.

"Why are you here again?" I asked him. I couldn't remember why he came.

"I told you that I was coming over tonight, remember?" He placed his hands on the small of my back. It dawned on me that he was supposed to be here and that I was wearing daggy clothes!

"Oh, um, I should probably go change!" I pried myself from his arms and bolted up the stairs to my room. I heard him calling out to me, but I ignored him and just ran up to my room.

What do I wear? I have to look, smart, hot and casual at the same time! Ah! I walked into my huge walk-in closet and picked out a pair of white skinny jeans and a black and white striped tank. I put them on and wondered over to my shoe section. I looked over my shoes for a few seconds and decided on a pair of sensible black flats. Next was my make-up. I just had to quickly re-apply it because I already had some on. I quickly did my hair and looked at myself in the mirror. No bad for someone who had to get ready in 2 minutes! I winked at my reflection and walked back down the stairs to where I had left Toby waiting. He had gotten out 2 mugs and had the coffee on the stove.

"Nice! I must say, you don't take as much time to get ready as Hanna or Aria!" Toby laughed. I blushed.

"It's only because I'm not really worried about my look, more about my grades. I should stop talking now" I took a seat at the bench next to Toby and we talked while we waited for the coffee to boil.

"So, um, how was work?" I asked him. I had to find out what Jason was hiding. If I can't ask Jason himself, I'll ask Toby.

"Yeah, it was great. Except Jason is started to get a bit mysterious and he leaves in the middle of the day and sometime doesn't come back until when I'm almost finished work. Spence, I think he might be up to something. He could be in league with this A person"

"Yeah… Maybe" was all I could think to say. Suddenly, the coffee started to boil. I jumped up, looking for an excuse to change topics and walked quickly over to the cooktop where the coffee pot was steaming.

"Pass me your mug?" I called to Toby. I heard him come up behind me and he put his hands on my waist.

"Spence, something's troubling you. You can tell me anything. You know that don't you?" he turned me around so I was facing him. I didn't want to look into his eyes because I knew that they would melt me right then and there.

"Yeah, I know" I whispered loud enough so only he could hear me. He pulled me closer and our lips met once again. I felt his breath in my mouth and his hands kept pulling me in closer. I flung my arms up around his neck and played with the tips of his hair with my fingertips. The kiss went on for ages but it felt like only seconds when I pulled away. I smiled sleepily at him as he led me over to the couch, mugs in hand. We sat down and I curled up next to him.

"So tell me. What's been going on with you lately? He asked me. This was it. Time to fess up. I HAD to tell him, I couldn't keep this secret anymore. He knew most of what was going on with us because he was part of it. Jenna was part of it.

"Oh, it's just… Our parents have decided that, well; they just don't want us to be hanging out with each other. Me, Aria, Hanna and Emily aren't allowed to see each other. Not at school, not outside of school, not on the weekends, never" I told him, trying to keep the tears out of my eyes. Toby wrapped his arms around me and held me tight to his chest.

"Oh Spence! That's horrible! Why would they do that?" he sounded genuinely concerned.

"The counsellor that we… that we have been seeing thought it best that we had some time with other people" I stammered. I couldn't hold it any longer; tears started streaking down my face. Toby reached up and wiped them off my cheeks with his thumb as I sniffled.

"You…you know I…I never wanted to go… to go to the counsellor in… in the first place!" I blubbered. He tightened his grip around me and I buried my face in his chest. He let me get all my crying done and then he pulled away from me and lifted my chin with his fingertips.

"Don't worry Spence. You have me and… and… well, me!" He smiled and that made me cry even more.

"I don't want you to see me like this Toby. I'm an emotional wreck, and that's not like me" I spoke in a shaky whisper.

"I don't mind. If you're going to be my girlfriend, I want to be here for you in all the tough times. You will get through this and I will help you! I promise you Spence, you won't do this alone!" He embraced me in his arms again and just as he did, my phone buzzed. I shot up. It better not be A! I looked at Toby, asking with my eyes whether I should answer it. He nodded and I slowly got off the couch and walked over to where my phone lay on the bench. I looked back to Toby for reassurance and he nodded, again. I gulped and opened the phone.

1 New Message

I clicked view and sighed in relief when it was only from Aria. The message said:

Hey Spence, we need to meet up. I know we shouldn't really be seeing each other, but we have to talk! I texted Emily and Hanna and I was thinking The Grill at 7? I think I may have a lead on who A is! Please reply ASAP!

Aria

I clicked reply and shakily typed back to her.

Hey Aria, The Grill at 7 should be fine. But we should make sure nobody sees us. I'm not really in the mood to be caught out. I'll see you then!

Spencer

I clicked send and shut my phone. I went back over to the couch and sat down heavily. I was tired and I felt like a nap. I curled up again next to Toby and shut my eyes.

"Was it A?" he asked me quietly. I shook my head and leant it on his chest. He leant down and put his head on top of mine. We stayed like this until I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up to the sound of a crash in the kitchen. My eyes flew open and I jumped up from the couch. Toby turned around and grinned at me.

"What are you doing!" I asked him.

"Um, trying to cook. Emphasis on the trying!" he replied quickly and looked back to the pan that was on the cooktop. I went over and stood behind him, peering over his shoulder to see what he was cooking. I saw an omelette looking thing in the pan. It looked like it was ready to flip.

"You may want to flip it over now" I whispered in his ear. He grabbed the utensil off the plate and stuck it under the omelette. He tried to flip it, without success. I laughed and fixed it up for him.

"So, are we doing anything tonight?" He asked me.

"Umm… No I don't thi…" I suddenly realised that I was supposed to be at The Grill in… I looked down to check my watch… 1 hour!

"Yes! I'm supposed to be at The Grill in an hour! To meet… the girls" I exclaimed. I ran up to my room to get ready. I pulled out a light pink top and a light brown cardigan to go on top. I pulled on a pair of blue jeans and a pair of light pink flatties. I quickly did my hair and make-up, grabbed my bag and rushed back downstairs where Toby was waiting with the truck's keys in hand. We went to car and he opened the door for me on the way to the driver side of the truck. He started driving to The Grill where he parked the truck in the car park of the restaurant. I went inside and saw the girls sitting at the table in the very corner. They were hunched over and appeared to be whispering about something. Emily glanced up and nudged Aria in the arm. Aria looked up and waved me over. I nodded and gave Toby a quick kiss.

"I should be done in about an hour. Pick me up then?" I finished the sentence and started fast walking quickly over to the table, being sure nobody saw me. I took the seat next to Hanna.

"Hey Spence! I have so much to catch you up on!" Aria smiled at me, though it was a forced smile, it still made me happy to see her.

"Hey guys! Gosh, it's been so horrible not being able to hang out with you! So, Aria, what happened? I am so curious to know!" I hunched over like the rest of them as Aria started whispering.

"Okay so, I was driving with Ezra back to his place. We stopped in a back street and we were… um, doesn't matter what we were doing, but I saw a hooded figure approach the car through the rear-view mirror! I pretended not to notice and told Ezra to start up the car. He questioned me, but I said just do it and we drove out and I told him to follow the black hoodie and you will never guess where the black hoodie went!" she sounded really excited but also a little scared.

"WHERE!" the 3 of us exclaimed quietly. We looked at one another and grinned before Aria cleared her throat.

"Jenna Marshals house!" She finished with a grin on her face. I was horrified. I felt my face drop and my expression change.

"Spence, you look…" Emily started

"Horrified, disgusted, frightened. Anyone of those three words can describe what I feel right now. Let me just say this. Toby has NOTHING to do with it!" I almost yelled the last part but I remembered that we were having a secret meeting and we didn't know who was here.

"Spencer, we don't know that. But, I guess we shouldn't judge" Hanna looked at me. I was almost ready to slap her. How could she be such a bitch! It's not as though I accuse Caleb of stuff!

"Hanna! You did not just say that? How could you? Toby would never do such a thing!" I scraped my chair backward and collected my bag of the side of my chair.

"She's right Han, you can't really accuse Toby of being A" Aria said. I looked at Emily who was just sitting there watching us fight.

"I know, but he IS Jenna's half brother. You never know what goes on behind closed doors" Hanna replied.

".God! Hanna! I just… I just don't know what to say! Thank God the counsellor told us to have time for ourselves! I can't believe your being such a bit…"

"Guys! Please, don't fight! Spencer, we're not accusing Toby of anything. Hanna does have a point though; we never really do know what he is doing with Jenna. But seriously Hanna, that was low. You can't just accuse people out of nothing!" Aria cut me off, mid word. I was shocked that my friends were accusing Toby of being A! I grabbed my bag and stormed out. I fumbled through my bag to find my phone to call Toby. I pulled it out and dialled his number.

"Spencer!" He sounded glad it was me.

"Toby, you need to come and pick me up. Now" my voice was shaky as I was trying to keep back my tears, once again.

"Sure! I'll be there in a minute! Are you okay?" he sounded really worried. I heard the truck start up in the background.

"I'm fine. I'll tell you everything when we're alone. Please, just hurry!" I hung up and stood and waited.

"Spence! Wait!" I heard the door open and as I turned around I saw Aria, Hanna and Emily rushing out of The Grill.

"I'm not talking about it with you. It's over. A wins! I GIVE UP!" I yelled at them.

"Please! We weren't trying to accuse anyone of anything! We're sorry! We know you love him and you care for him and you would never let him do anything like that!" Aria pleaded. I heard the truck pull up behind me. I heard the door open as Toby stepped out onto the gravel of the car park

"Spencer! What's going on!" he exclaimed. He came up behind me and put his arm around my shoulder. I looked up at him, tears in my eyes.

"Nothing, I was just leaving" I turned around and walked to the passenger side of the truck. I opened the door and got inside. I slammed the door behind me, making the truck rock but I didn't care. I wanted to get out of there. I could see Toby standing there talking to the girls. I opened the door and yelled out to him.

"Toby! Can we please leave now?" I yelled. He turned around and nodded. He walked over to the driver side and got inside. The keys were already in the ignition, so he turned the key and the truck started up. We drove out of the car park leaving the other girls standing there watching us leave. My arms were crossed over my chest.

The drive back home was silent. Once we reached my house, he finally asked me.

"What's going on? I hate seeing you sad!" he reached over and gently turned my head to look at him.

"They… they think it's you. They think you're A. Aria saw the hooded figure of A go into your house. They think he's you! I tried to tell them! But they wouldn't listen and they seem content on their answer!" hot tears started streaking down my face making my make-up run.

"Oh God. Spencer, you know I would never do something like that don't you?" he pleaded at me and when I looked at him, he looked hurt.

"Of course! I would never think that of you and I know that you would never hurt a fly! I'm so sorry! But, it was all Aria and Hanna! Emily just sat there, she didn't even try to stop them accusing you!" I yelled. The tears started running down my face even quicker. Toby reached over and embraced me as best possible over the middle console. I buried my face into his chest and cried, for the second time that day.

Hope you guys enjoyed it! Please don't forget to review! I will try get the next chapter up as soon as possible! But I do have school, so it will be hard for me to write lots. The more reviews, the quicker the chapters! Thanks again!
