I OWN NOTHING ! ALL RIGHTS GO TO THE PRETTY LITTLE LIARS AND ABC FAMILY !

This is my first story so I hope you all like it :) I know this chapter is mostly about Spencer and Toby, but it will soon be all about Spencer and Wren. Reviews are appreciated.


Spencer's POV:

These past six months have been perfect. After being a target of -A for the past year, it's nice to feel free and alive again. I don't have to worry about having to look over my shoulder, waiting for the next thing -A has planned to attack. I still can't believe it was Mona. Mona? Cute, little, innocent Mona. She was supposed to be Hanna's best friend. Yeah, what a great best friend. I didn't know best friends were supposed to threaten you, make your life miserable, and try to kill you. Anyways, all of that drama is in the past and I'm tired of looking back. I'm ready to move forward. I have been with Toby for the past six months, but nothing's really happened sexual-wise. I'm tired of being the only virgin in my clique, but I'm not ready... and I'm not sure if I'll ever be ready. Don't get me wrong, I love Toby, but I'm afraid that by taking it to the next step it'll ruin what we've worked so hard to gain back. Hanna, Aria, Emily, and I are still the best of friends. I was worried that after we'd found out who -A was, we'd have no reason to stay friends, but I'm glad that that isn't the case. Emily hasn't really been hanging out with us as much since we found out that Maya had been murdered the night that we discovered Mona was -A, but her parents are planning to take her back to Texas for the last few weeks of summer so she can clear her head and get away from Rosewood.

"Hey Emily!" I say, excited to see her smiling for the first time since that night. "How are you?"

"I've been better, but I'm really excited to be going to Texas. It's what I need, you know? I just need to be anywhere that isn't Rosewood, too many memories."

"I understand." I can't imagine what Emily must be going through. I remember when I heard the news that Toby had fallen, had broken his arm, and was currently in the hospital. Every bone in my body froze and my mouth went all dry and I felt like I couldn't breathe. He had only broken his arm and it healed with time, but it still scared me. I guess that's what happens when you're in love, you care about the other person's well-being before your own.

"Spencer?" Emily shouted, breaking me away from my thoughts.

"What?"

"Have you talked to Toby yet? About the Wren thing?" Emily asked, giving me that look. I hate that look.

"Not yet, but we're going out tonight. I'll do it then." I replied.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? Toby's going to be pretty pissed when you tell him that you hooked up with Wren."

"Yes, I'm sure." I say back to her. "There is no reason for Toby to be pissed. We didn't hook up, we made out. And Toby and I weren't together when it happened. Not to mention, I was drunk. It was innocent."

Emily laughs. "Yeah Spencer, because everything that has to do with you and Wren is innocent. You do remember that you stole him away from Melissa, your sister? He was her fiancee."

"Yes, I remember and I don't need to take a trip down memory lane. It will go fine, everything will be fine. After I tell him this, there will be no more secrets." I told Toby the day after we got back together everything that had happened. He was very understanding, but shocked to know it was Mona causing all the trouble. Like I said, she had everyone fooled. He couldn't believe that I had gone through a year of torture without telling a soul, apart from Dr. Sullivan. Dr. Sullivan is a saint. We're still going to her, individually, so that we can try to make sense of it all. Hanna and Emily have been going the most since they need it more than Aria and I. Hanna and Aria arrive a few minutes later and we sit and gossip about Ezra, Caleb, and Toby. We talk about Texas and how we need to still communicate while Emily is away through emails, texts, and Skype. We talk about what to expect our senior year since we don't have to worry about watching our backs. I think we're all ready to enjoy this year, -A free and Mona free. I say goodbye to everyone and head home to get ready for my date with Toby. I'm a little scared that he's going to over-react and freak out like Emily said, but I don't see why he should. He's the one who left me. He's the one who pretended like he didn't care, not the other way around. I decide to wear a white strapless shirt that's a bit flowy and plain black shorts. I curl my hair so that it frames my face nicely and put some makeup on. Once I'm finished, I hear the doorbell ring and I know that it must be Toby. I run downstairs as fast as I can and open the door to see those beautiful blue eyes that I've grown to love.

"Hello handsome." I say, greeting him with a kiss.

"Hello beautiful. You look amazing." He says, giving me his crooked smile that makes me go weak in the knees.

"Why thank you, kind sir." We both laugh. I can be so lame sometimes.

"You ready to go?" He asks.

"Yeah, I'm ready" I smile at him. We head to his truck, but before I can get in, he stops me and gives me a short, but passionate kiss.

"I didn't lie when I said you look amazing. You really do, Spencer."

"Thank you." I say and get into his truck and put my seat belt on. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky. Granted, Toby and I weren't on the best terms a year ago. To be honest, we hated each other. But thanks to Mona, we became friends when I realized that I was being framed for Alison's murder. If I ever see Mona again, I will thank her for allowing me to get to know Toby and falling in love with him, but that'll be right before I kill her. Once we get there, we go inside and sit at our table. Luckily, Toby made reservations ahead of time. Living in a small town like Rosewood, there aren't many places you can go to eat so there was a huge line of people waiting to be seated. We order our food and it arrives ten minutes later. As we're eating, I decide that I have to tell him. I've been procrastinating for far too long. I have to tell him what happened between Wren and I.

"Toby?" I ask. He looks up at me with a concerned look on his face.

"What's up Spencer?"

"I have something that I need to tell you, something that you're not going to like very much."

"Are you breaking up with me?" He asks, with a sad look on his face.

"No, of course not. It has to do with Wren. Something happened while you were away."

"Did you have sex with him?"

"No, but we did make out." I say, while looking down. I explain to him that I needed to talk to Melissa since we found a video that made her look like she had something to do with Ali's murder. While there, I ran into Wren. After Melissa ditched me to hang out with Garrett Reynolds, Wren and I began talking and we ended up back at his place.

"Nothing happened, aside from making out. He wouldn't allow it."

"He wouldn't allow it?" Toby says back, raising his voice a bit. "So, you're saying that you wanted to?"

"No, that's not what I said. I was drunk. I didn't know what I was doing." I reply back, hoping to calm him down. I can tell by the look on his face that he's really pissed. Emily was right, I should've done this in private.

"You know Spencer, drunken words speak sober thoughts. Or in your case, drunken actions do sober thoughts."

"You're reading too much into it. Nothing happened! I haven't even seen Wren since that night when Hanna and I saved Jenna from Jason's house. He picked the glass out of my hand."

"Are you sure that's all he did?" He says with a smart-alic tone.

"I don't understand why you're getting so mad. Like I said, I haven't seen or talked to Wren since that night."

"That's not the point, Spencer."

"Then what is the point?" I ask, starting to get a little heated. I didn't understand why he was reacting this way. It was a long time ago, ancient history.

"You love him. Whether you want to admit it or not, you're in love with him."

I laugh back sarcastically. "I am NOT in love with Wren. He is a friend, that's all."

"Yeah, whatever you say." He says, looking away. After a long while, he turns back to me and says, "I can't do this anymore."

"You can't do what?" I ask. I can feel the tears threatening to spill out of my eyes.

"This. I can't be your boyfriend anymore. It's too hard to love you while you love someone else."

"But I don't love someone else, Toby. I love you, only you." I say, beginning to cry.

"Spencer, don't cry. We both knew this was going to happen eventually."

"I didn't. Toby, please don't this. Please." I beg him, crying hysterically at this point. I'm surprised he can even comprehend what I'm saying.

"I'm sorry. Goodbye Spencer." And with that, he dropped enough money on the table to cover both of our meals, walked out of the doors of the restaurant and left. Just like that, my entire world came crashing down. Just as I was about to reach for my cellphone to ask Aria or Hanna to come pick me up, I hear a familiar, British voice.

"Trouble in paradise?" I look up to see the guy that created all of this Toby drama that went down between us tonight. I see the one guy that no matter how hard I try to get away from him, fate always pushes us back together, Mr. Wren Kingston.


Is Wren's last name Kim or Kingston ? I've heard both. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm sticking with Kingston.

I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter and don't forget to review ! :)
