After Alex:
Spencer's POV:
My eyes begin to open, everything is blurry, and my head is pounding. I lift my arm to put my hand on my head as I start to wake up. When my vision becomes clear that's when I notice the ceiling, which looks very familiar. I quickly sat up looking around me. I knew exactly where I was, Toby's loft. I looked down quickly at myself. I was wearing one of his shirts. Crap where were my clothes and why am I here? I asked myself. I looked over on his dresser and spotted my clothes, neatly folded up in a stack. I slowly got out of bed and went into the bathroom to put my clothes back on. Maybe Toby wasn't here and I could just sneak out without having to talk to him, even though part of me wanted to. I quickly got dressed and tried to fix my hair in the mirror. My head was still pounding and my clothes smelled a little bit like alcohol. Shoot now I remember what happened yesterday. I opened the door slowly and quietly and walked back out into the bedroom, still no signs of Toby. Where had he gone? I wondered to myself. I opened the bedroom door and walked out into the living room. I was heading towards the door to leave when I heard a familiar sound. The sound of Toby's heaving breathing filled the room. I looked over at the couch to find him covered up in a light blanket, sleeping. Oh how I missed a sleeping Toby I thought to myself. Crap! Why was I thinking that, stop it Spencer, it's over.
Toby's POV:
I rolled over on the couch trying to get comfy. I heard a noise, which made me open my eyes. I followed the sound and noticed Spencer halfway out the door. "Wait don't go." I said her way. Spencer peaked her head back in. "Sorry I have to go." She said quickly. I looked at her longingly as if to say please stay. She signed and walked in closing the door behind her. "What exactly did I do last night?" Spencer asked me slowly walking towards the couch. I was hoping she would sit but she did not. "You may have had a little to much to drink last night." I told her with a small smile, trying to hold back a laugh. After Alex was arrested we all went to celebrate the arrest of A.D. Lets just say Spencer did not handle it well. Drinking last night was her release. "It got kind of crazy." I told her. Spencer snickered and sighed plopping down on the sofa across from me, just like old times. Oh how I missed her laugh I thought. "I'm sorry." She said. "Don't worry about it, it was no big deal." Spencer got very drunk last night and I knew driving home was a bad idea. I drove Spencer home and laid her passed out on my bed. "Before you go there is a coffee waiting for you in the kitchen, do you still drink it black?" I asked her. She shook her head yes. She walked into the kitchen grabbed the coffee "Well I should get going." She said walking towards the door. I told her goodbye and watched her leave her long brown hair the last thing I see before the door to my loft closes.
Aria POV:
I woke up with Ezra at my side. I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek before picking up my phone off the bedside table and walking into the living room. I dialed for Spencer. I had to check and see how she was doing. "Hey Aria." Spencer said into the phone. "Hi Spence. It's good to hear your voice. How is everything?" I asked her. Spencer sighed. "Well I woke up in Toby's apartment this morning." She said like it was a bother. "I know." I told her through the phone. "How?" she asked me concerned. I laughed. "Spencer after they arrested your sister Alex we all went out to celebrate the capture of A.D. Let's just say you may have had too much to drink. But don't worry Toby took good care of you. He carried you all the way to your car after you passed out, he put you in the passenger seat and you threw up all over his shoes. He laughed it was kind of funny actually" I waited for Spencer to reply, "Shoot I can't believe I did that. I don't remember anything I did last night." I laughed again thinking about her projectile vomiting all over Toby. "Like I said Spencer he didn't seem to mind." There was a silence on the other line, "Oh." Was all Spencer said before hanging up.
Spencer's POV:
I sat down on my bed processing what Aria had just said. Toby took care of me last night and let me sleep in his bed. He slept on the couch and made me coffee this morning and worst of all I threw up on him. Part of me was embarrassed and another part of me was glad Toby was there. Part of me still had feelings for Toby even though we both agreed we were over. Problem was he was with Yvonne and was going to marry her. I knew he was happy with her and did not want to ruin that. When Yvonne died I could see the hurt and pain inside Toby's eyes and there was no way I would be able to tell him. Even though after her passing it seemed more and more tempting to tell Toby that I still loved him. I shook that thought out of my mind and walked downstairs to find my mother and father talking in the kitchen. "Peter I just don't think telling her is a good idea. Let it go." My mom was saying until she cut herself off after noticing me now in the living room. I knew they were talking about me. "Telling me what?" I asked them firmly walking into the kitchen. "Oh Spencer its nothing dear just . . . " "For gods sake Veronica lets just tell her. Lying to her is useless." My father ordered. I knew something was up. My mom always tries to cover things up and act like nothing is wrong, while my father tells me like it is, well sometimes he does. "First of all young lady where were you last night?" My father asked me. "I was at Toby's." I told both of them. My mom smiled, she always liked the two of us together. "Look Spence its about your sister Alex, she is demanding to see you." My body started to shudder and I grabbed onto my chest my heart beating faster. "I told the police that you wouldn't want to see her." My dad said. I looked up, "Why would you do that?" I asked him anger in my tone. Even though she kidnapped me and tried to kill me with an axe she is still my sister, my twin sister. "Spencer why are you upset. She kidnapped you and she is crazy. There is no way that I am letting you anywhere near her or Mary Drake." My father told me. I looked over at my mom her head down and hands folded in front of her. Why was she not saying anything? "Mom?" I asked looking at her. "Well you heard your father." She said walking away from the kitchen and into her office. I stomped my foot and ran upstairs. As scared as I was I needed to talk to Alex. Maybe I could fix things, or even learn more about us, me.
Hanna POV:
I said goodbye to Caleb and watched him drive away. He was working at a computer company until we got enough money to buy a house. Luke was going to be born soon and we didn't want to have to raise him in a one-bedroom apartment, but we would if it all came down to it. My phone began to ring and I looked down noticing it was Spencer calling. I wonder how she is doing? I think to myself as I pick up. "Hey Spence." I say waiting for her response. "Hey Han I need you to help me with something." "Sure! What is it?" I ask her. "Don't be so quick to agree." She says. I swallow hard. What is it that she needs me to do? "I need you to help me see Alex." She says. I am taken aback "Are you serious?" I stammer. She sighs. "My parents told me that Alex is requesting to see me but my dad told them that it was impossible. Look Hanna I get it if you don't want to help me. I just thought that out of all the girls you would be the most likely to help. Mona tortured us but somehow you still fought for her. That's what I want to do for Alex. After all she is my twin sister." I sat down on the couch thinking about it for a minuet. Spencer was right. They all hated me visiting Mona but she was once my friend and I knew that I needed to help her. I sighed heavily. "Ok fine, but don't tell Caleb. I don't want him to worry about me." Spencer agreed and hung up the phone.
Emily's POV:
I got into the car after dropping off Lily and Grace at the babysitter. Ali was teaching English at Rosewood high and I was the new Rosewood swim coach. We dropped our girls off most days at the sitters and both headed off to work. However today Ali had to go in earlier to school to grade some papers. Yesterday was such a crazy day and it seemed so weird to know of Spencer having a twin sister. My mind flooded with the image of both Alex and Spencer side by side. I could hardly tell them apart. I mean all of those times Alex was pretending to be Spencer I didn't notice a difference. How could I not have noticed it before? I feel like such a horrible friend. I still haven't heard from Spencer or any of the other girls since yesterday and it feels like forever. I think everyone just needs their space, especially Spencer. I pulled into the school parking lot it was time for me to head inside and find Ali.
