Their relationship was hanging by a thread. Ever since their pregnancy scare Spencer and Toby relationship had been hanging by a thread. The pregnancy test may have come back negative, however, it had resulted in a lot of unresolved feelings. Their relationship had changed substantially In a matter of days. It had just been put to the biggest test of all (parenthood). A test which both of them failed. They had just caught a glimpse of their future, and neither of them had liked what they saw. Which isn't something either of them could forget. Before they had been living in a fantasy. Telling themselves that they were both on the same page. Telling themselves that they both wanted the same thing for their future. However, it had just been established that wasn't the case. It had just been established that they both wanted completely different things from their future's. They both knew they should feel relieved about the results. However, neither of them felt that way.
Leaving Rosewood may have been the worst thing that happened to their relationship. Long distances was hard for any couple. However, ever since they had left they had been growing apart. Back in Rosewood they needed each other. They felt feathered to each other. They relied on each other. They kept each other going. They needed each other to survive. However, that all changed once Spencer left for college. They had been forced to live separate lives. They had both learned they didn't need each other to survive. They learned how to survive on their own. They didn't need each other anymore.
What made Spencer and Toby so special was their spark. Their spark was infused with so much passion. The passion they felt for each other was like no other. Over the years they had lost their spark. The passion had faded away without them even realizing it. They may have still loved each other, but sometime's love isn't enough.
Their relationship had been put on hold temporarily. They hadn't seen each other in days. Toby had left in a hurry after figuring out the results. He needed space. He needed time to think. Both of them felt as if their whole worlds had been turned upside down. Neither of them knew what to do about it. Therefore, they both decided to avoid it. Toby lied and said he needed to go back to Rosewood for work. He said it was mandatory. However, they both knew he was just running away from his problems once again. Spencer played along with his lie though. As if it were nothing. She was avoiding the problem as well. Since he had left Spencer had thrown herself into studying. She studied things she didn't even need to know. She refused to let her mind wander. She refused to let her mind over analysis all of this and make even more of a mess. Furthermore, she hadn't left her dorm room in days. She refused to talk to anybody about anything. She had cut herself off from the outside world. They both knew they would eventually have to talk. However, they also knew how that talk would end. They both knew they were coming to an end. Right now they were just trying to prolong their relationship as long as possible.
I'm really loving writing this fanfic. Spoby is one of my favorite ships. It may sound weird but my favorite Spoby scenes are when they break up. Therefore, I thought it would be fitting I write about their breakup. It's been really fun for me to write about them. There are more chapters coming soon! I hope that you guys are enjoying this story. Don't forget to leave reviews!
