Spencer (P.O.V)
The cab driver dropped me off here, in Rosewood, in front of my new house. I'm not living with my parents in Ravenswood because of what happened there. I had to go to therapy for a while, but now I am cleared to go back to school. However, because of what happened, my parents suggested that I move in with my brothers, Noel and Jason, who I just found out about. My mother told me that they know who I am though.
I knock on the door softly, but someone still answers.
"Can I help you?" The man asks with a smile. I look away, quietly asking,
"Are you Noel or Jason Hastings?"
"No. My name is Toby Cavanaugh. I live here with them. You must be their sister. I will be right back."
He leaves and I just wait there, not going inside, just in case I'm not invited.
Toby (P.O.V)
I run upstairs looking for Noel, since Jason is at work but will be home at any minute. They said something about their sister coming to live with us.
I go in Noel's room, and say, "Noel, your sister's here." He jumps up and runs downstairs.
I hear him say her name. Spencer.
Noel (P.O.V)
"Spencer?" I ask her. She has really grown since the last time I've seen her. The last time I saw her she was about 5 years old and I was seven. Then, our parents took her away to Ravenswood to live because she had some... problems that needed to be taken care of. They had me and Jason live with Toby and his parents until we decided to get our place.
Spencer nods slightly, still clutching her suitcase. She is very shy, but she is better and I can tell.
"You can come in, you know." I tell her. I take her suitcase, and I see a flash of alarm on her face but then she goes back to normal. I bring it upstairs to her room, and she follows me. Her room already has a bed, desk, and television.
"Do you like your room?" I ask her.
"I love it. Thank you so much!" She says with a smile. I give her a hug. I really did miss her.
"Sorry the place is such a mess." I say.
She doesn't say anything. She just sits on her bed, and looks around the room.
I hear the front door open and close, and I assume it's Jason.
Jason (P.O.V)
I am back home from work, and instead of Noel or Toby walking downstairs, it is a brunette. Spencer.
I give her a hug. She smiles and says, "Hi!"
"Hi!" I say back. I show her around the house and eventually, we get to Toby' s room. I walk in, and introduce the two.
At night we all go to bed.
In the morning, I walk downstairs to see Spencer sleeping on the couch, and the house is spotless.
Spencer (P.O.V)
I was very appreciative that Jason, Noel, and Toby are willing to take me in and help me out. After what I dealt with, people will most likely not like me very much.
I fall asleep on the couch. After everyone went to bed, I got up and cleaned. It was the least I could do.
Someone shakes me awake. It's Toby.
"Hi." I say, rubbing my eyes.
"Hey." He says. "Did you clean the house?" He asks me. I nod.
"I'm sorry. Was I not supposed to? I just thought it was the least I could do after you guys let me live here." I ramble.
"It's fine. Thanks. Get ready you have to go to school." I run to my room and start getting ready.
Toby (P.O.V)
I was confused as to why Spencer would apologize for cleaning. I have only known her for about a day, but I still wonder what could have happened to her. Also, she is overly nice. She never said one bad thing about our messy house. She just cleaned up without us asking. As Noel and I wait for Spencer to be ready for school, I ask, "Do you know what happened to Spencer? I mean, she is your sister."
"I can't talk about it. I doubt Spencer would want me to tell you, and our parents don't want anyone to know."
Spencer starts running downstairs, apologizing over and over again, which actually I find adorable.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to take so long but I didn't unpack yet and I couldn't find a shirt and my hair was a mess and my makeup!" She rambles.
"Calm down Spence, if we left now, we will still be early." Noel reassured her. He pats her on the back and she calms down. She smiles and leaves with us.
When we get into the school, Spencer seems a bit nervous, and when someone accidentally bumps into her, her fists clench. I see Noel squeeze her wrist softly, and she nods and continues walking. Weird.
It turns out her locker is right next to mine. We also have the same schedule. Noel isn't in any of her classes, so when I am in the hallways, Noel pulls me aside to talk to me.
'Listen Toby, I am not in any of Spencer's classes, but you are. So, can you keep an eye on her? Walk her to class, and basically make sure she doesn't get into trouble? I was supposed to, but the principal won't let me have the same schedule."
"Sure, Noel, but why?"
"I can't tell you. I want to, but it is sort of a family thing. Do you understand?" I nod. I understand. I get that there are some things you share with your best friends, and there are things that you just keep to yourself.
I go to class and sit behind Spencer. She smiles at me and during the lesson, the guy next to her keeps poking her. She is fine at first, but then she starts clenching her fists again. When the class is over she leaves in a rush.
