When Spencer ran towards Toby and he pulled her into an embrace she thought that it would last for ever. Mona was behind the bars in a sanatorium and Toby had gotten over his jealousy. She thought about everything that had happened over the year. She thought everything was over and A was gone for good but that didn't last for long. Her life now was a mess and she was taking her relationship to an early grave. As she sat in her room going over Toby's words she couldn't help but regret ever knowing Alison. Aria and Ezra were the only ones who were still together. Caleb and Hanna had broken up, Maya was dead and her own relationship with Toby was … well … complicated.
He had left Rosewood in search for answers and Spencer knew that the closer he got to getting them more in danger will he be. A would not have anything on Toby as he was one of the most honest people therefore A would try to get rid of him. She thought of the last five months, they were just like a dream and she knew that it was too good to last long. The night when they found Emily at Alison's grave she knew that the good times had come to an end but she did not predict that her relationship would suffer again at the hands of her nemesis. She wanted to blame everything on A but she knew that this time she was almost equally responsible for driving Toby away.
"Spencer" Hanna's voice broke her chain of thoughts. Hanna had been coming over a lot as she was terrified regarding the blood test and she also needed someone to talk to.
"I'm in my room Hanna" Spencer yelled back.
"I'm totally freaking out" Hanna said making her way across the room "What if I get caught and convicted?"
"You will neither be caught nor convicted" Spencer replied in an effort to calm Hanna's nerves.
"Are you alright? You are looking awfully pale." Hanna observed
Spencer had the urge to assure her friend that she was fine but she too wanted someone to talk to "Toby is out searching for 'answers' and I am worried that he might get hurt"
"You think he 'might'… Spencer A is gonna hurt Toby one way or the other"
"Now you are freaking me out Hanna"
"Alright then, how many people who tried to find answers were left unharmed? Dr. Sullivan's son was in danger, Caleb's mother was in an accident, I got hit by a car and Maya is dead. What more do you need to know to be sure that Toby is already in danger."
"You are right but what do I do now? I can't tell Toby everything as it would mean revealing all my dirty secrets and yours too and also I am not very sure just how much more our relationship can take." Spencer was exhausted, she had spent all day thinking about Toby and A and now after her conversation with Hanna she felt even more drained. She thought about what Hanna had said and realised that she was right. She needed to get through to Toby and give him something. But he was not responding to her calls or messages. She hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time and she missed the warmth of his arms around her. She felt extremely safe when he was around and his scent had a very comforting and calming effect on her. These thoughts depressed her so Spencer got up from her bed and walked towards the window to get some air when her cell rang. She bent to pick it up and saw Emily's name flashing on the screen and picked up the call.
"Hello … What?"
