So this is something I came up with since we know that Spencer goes to Georgetown and Toby stays in Rosewood and they eventually fall apart. So this is kind of the telling of that. I have some things I want to happen in this story planned out, but not the complete story itself, so if you like the story and have any ideas please let me know!

Spencer sighed as she walked into her dorm room, slid off her heavy backpack and plummeted on her bed. She glanced over to the other side of the room to see it empty, acknowledging that her roommate, Libby, was still out. It was her fourth day at Georgetown, but today was her first day of classes. Since she was a freshman, she was taking a lot of intro classes, but in typical Spencer fashion, she was taking an extra class, interning at a local firm, and already looking into an array of clubs. She even considered joining the club field hockey team.

She reached up and retrieved her phone from her bag, noticing she had a couple of missed calls and texts. One text was from Aria, asking her how her day had been and how she was doing. She had talked to all of the girls throughout the past week as all four of them were adjusting to their new lives. She missed her friends a lot, but time apart was what they all needed. Time to do their own thing with no reminders from the past.

The other text and two calls were from Toby. He had helped her move in four days ago and they had talked everyday since.

Hope your first day was everything you hoped it would be. And if it isn't, it's only the first day…it will get better. I promise. I can't wait to hear about it. Call me when you can.

She smiled at his supportive text. Although she wished he were with her, college was something she had to do on her own. However it was amazing to know she had his support back home. A moment later she was hitting the call button, itching to hear his voice.

"Hey," he answered cheerfully after the second ring. "I've been waiting to hear from you."

Her lips curved into smile when she heard his familiar voice. He was a constant in her life. Even when everything else in her life changes, he always stays the same. "Hi. How was work?"

He scoffed. "Forget work. It was a normal boring day in Rosewood. How was your first day of college? I can't believe I'm dating a college girl now."

She chuckled. "Now no one can call me your high school girlfriend. But it was all right as far as first days go."

She told him about how the day wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. It would take some adjusting, considering she did get lost a few times and right now she was pretty hungry, but didn't feel like walking to the dining hall. However, on the bright side, she told him how her classes seemed interesting and she enjoyed her professors so far.

He assured her that things would undoubtedly get better and that she wasn't missing much of anything at home.

"I miss you though," she responded. It was kind of a touchy subject between them. When she decided she was going to Georgetown, he was set to move to DC with her. While this was what she wanted at first, she realized throughout the summer that she was too dependent on Toby. She realized, while she loved him so much, that maybe a little space would be the best thing for them. They'd still visit each other and still be boyfriend and girlfriend, but they were just trying long distance out. A change for each of them to have their own lives and still have one together.

Toby didn't understand this at first, claiming that he wanted to move on from their past and into their future together. Eventually, he came around. After the Rosewood Police Department reinstated him from when he accidentally got stoned, he realized that no other police department would take him in with that on his record, and he actually quite enjoyed being a police officer.

He paused a moment. She knew what he was thinking. He was thinking that he could be there with her. But it wasn't what she wanted. "I miss you too."

She sighed in relief at his words, thankful he didn't say anything about it being her choice.

"Did you make any friends?" He asked, attempting to lighten the mood a little.

"I wouldn't really call them friends yet, besides Libby, but we met a few of the people on our floor for dinner yesterday. I know that the one guy is in a lot of my classes."

"Oh that's good. You can have someone to study with. I got a new partner at work, by the way."

"They finally replaced Lorenzo? Who is it?"

"His name's Chase. He seems pretty cool."

Just as Spencer was about to reply, she heard her stomach growl. She looked over at her clock and saw it was quarter after seven, which meant she better head to the dining hall soon if she wanted to eat tonight since it closed at eight.

"I'm sorry to cut this short, but I really have to head over to the dining hall to eat. It's closing soon and I'm starving."

"Oh," Toby tried to hide his disappointment. "No problem. I know how you get without your food."

Spencer laughed. "Don't even start. I wasn't bad this whole conversation!"

"Go get some food. I'll talk to you tomorrow?"

"Mmm…I'll text you before I go to sleep? It took me awhile to fall asleep last night."

"You can text me at anytime of the night and I'll answer it. I love you, Spence."

She couldn't help the smile that emerged on her face at his sweet words. While she didn't regret her decision to move to DC herself, she had to admit that she missed him. It felt like she hadn't seen in months, when it was really only four days. "Thanks. Love you too. Bye."

After hanging up, Spencer got up, grabbed her bag, and headed out the door. Ashe walked to the dining hall, she texted Libby asking her if she wanted to meet her there. As she was texting, she bumped into her neighbor down the hall who she had met yesterday.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention."

"No, you're good. Neither was I."

"Brian, was it?"

"Ryan. Close." He stepped back to get a better look at Spencer's face. "Hm. I want to say…Rachel?"

Spence laughed. "Not even close. Spencer."

"Ah, my second guess!"

Spencer was so relieved that not many people knew who she was from the news. Some people had asked her about it at orientation, but others thankfully had not. She couldn't help them for being curious, but it was something she wanted to leave behind in Rosewood. The effects of the events that occurred would be inside her forever, but the people in DC didn't need to know that.

"I was just heading to the dining hall, want to come?" From what she met of Ryan so far, she liked him. He was also a political science major and seemed funny.

"Sure, let's go."

As they walked, they talked about their first day of classes. Their Intro to Politics class that they were in together, and other classes they took that day. Ryan was telling a funny story about one of his professors when Spencer's phone vibrated. She looked down to see a text from Libby, telling her she just got to the dining hall.

After getting her food and sitting down with Libby and Ryan, Spencer thought that she could definitely see herself being friends with these people.
