Sort of a random drabble about Toby and Emily from his perspective when I watched the few seconds on the hall of mirrors and it seems he could have caught her if he had wanted too. Some thoughts of maybe why he did that. My first pll story hope you like it! Please review but be nice!
I cared about her... I really did. I wish I could be normal. Crazy right? The one who seems perfectly fine and the one who tries to keep people wishes he could fit in. But I can't. Not so much for the other people… but for her. Because she's beautiful inside and out. He loves how she apologizes all the time, how she gets nervous and beats it around the bush how she tries to help anyone feel better. Even him. The one nobody else cares about. He wishes he could be the one to go to parties and dances like she wants too. Not having to be at school in the chem lab hiding away from people or the grill when her friends aren't there. She's beautiful and that's what makes it harder on him.
To try and let her go even if she hurt him. Not listening to him, running away from him pushing him into a cabinet not saying sorry and also not just running don't want to talk to you but even showing she believing he's a freak by acting so scared and calling for help as if he wanted to hurt her. He had never wanted to hurt anyone, least of all her. She had done that once. Well ok at the least shown that I wasn't important enough to even say hang out with in front of her friends. No excuse or saying hey raincheck on hanging out something came up sorry. She just ignored me. Now she hurt me again and I'm running after her. I am thinking if I should just give up or not. If she hadn't said yes to going with me to homecoming and showing others that she didn't care she still was willing to be my date- no matter what others thought.
I thought it would be different this time –or at least I hoped. To continue to try and explain or not..? Here she comes things got confusing for a minute you come around the other way to cut her off. And you think you probably could have. But you hesitate before reacting. If you had waited she would have been closer and you have had a chance of cornering her. Yes you want her to understand you tried hard it's been so long since you've had someone –anyone- get you like she does. And to have her think badly of you- you can't stand that. Especially thinking you want to hurt her. But to just jump out and grab her probably wouldn't work. It would just scare her more. So you still follow after her to explain but you realize you have to be more patient. You want her to stop by herself. It might take time. Later on you'll realize it took longer then you wanted but at least she thought well of you and stuck up for you eventually. Better late than never right?
