Yoü and I

Prologue

It's been a long time since I came around

Been a long time but I'm back in town

And this time I'm not leavin' without yoü

Spencer Hastings was an intriguing lady. Next to her twenty-five years, she had a more than successful career. Nobody ever would have imagined she would become a milestone in such a short time, neither the girl herself. Spencer came from inside the country of the United States, a small town, near Philadelphia, called Rosewood . She departed hometown in an attempt to get rid of the past and engage in some work that yielded her a good and wealthy income. Had done law school in Rosewood, thanks to family's influence, it was not difficult for her to get an internship at a firm known in New York, about two years ago. And from then on, everything evolved very fast. She went from being a country girl to one of the youngest and most influential lawyers of Andrew's & Co. She accompanied by the biggest cases for a couple of months and it gave her an incredible base, when given the chance to defend the first client , Spencer had one of the most successful and surprising resolutions in the company. Thereafter, the sky became the limit.

Now, Spencer had acquired many other goals. Her own apartment in the island of Manhattan, in Upper West area. Although she hadn't yet gathered enough money for an apartment in Upper East Side, the West was as high a level as the other and it served her well. Besides, she owned a house her parents gave her, that the girl rented, outside island, to increase the monthly income. And of course, her very own a car. All Spencer ever wanted had been achieved, especially her independence. But it all came with a price and along the way there were many things the girl had to give up to get where she was now and, occasionally, a deep feel of nostalgia would hit her.

The plan was never to return to Rosewood. Both her parents and her sister, Melissa, visited her frequently in the big apple. They used to spend all holidays with Spencer, was always much more exciting than in their hometown, after all. Melissa was sometimes up there to a few weeks of her vacation, spending time with her little sister, which actually Spencer did not know for sure she liked it. But the fact was, even though she tried to avoid the city, her past lived there and sooner or later it'd force her to show her face back there. This time, what forced her had a name and it was Alison DiLaurentis.

Alison was her best friend since childhood. Spencer had never been the kind of kid who had many friends. She was not shy or anything, just inconvenient. Always very intelligent, used to feel superior to other children and when she did not tell them it directly, she'd indirectly play and joke about the fact she had the highest grades of the school. Others found annoying and unbearable. Not Alison. Perhaps because they were so alike, geniuses, they hit it off right away. But Ali never came alone, after all she was the most popular girl in school. Emily Fields, Hanna Marin and Aria Montgomery were part of the group that welcomed Spencer. And the five were, for years, best friends .

College distanced them a bit, but they always kept some sort of contact. Aria had spent an year doing an exchange program in Europe, Emily engaged herself in humanitarian work in places like Haiti and Africa and was always traveling. Hanna, Spencer, and Alison were the only ones to attend college together effectively in Hollis, in the city itself. And since that time, Spencer grumbled about "escaping" from that place . Of course things were different from what was planned. For a long time she left the idea of going to New York behind not only for her friends, but also because of Tobias Cavanaugh.

The two were dating since the last year of high school. They were never a couple people expected to be seen together. Toby was very quiet and shy, with a bad-boy reputation around the city and the people did not trust him too much, while Spencer was a rich girl, prodigy and excellent in everything she did. When they became official, the general commenting went on how it was just a ploy of Spencer's to get her parent, who were especially absent, attention. But when their romance proved to be very serious, rumors and gossip ceased.

It had not been easy for her to leave Toby behind. The friends she kept in touch easily, Ali herself had managed to visit Spencer a couple of times in the last year. But when Spencer set her foot outside of Rosewood , was ending the relationship of six years with the boy. For long months in NYC, she didn't dare to go out or date anyone. And when she began to do so, were always outputs without commitment and lasting far too fast. Even so, they were never too many. Toby had indeed been her biggest love and it was him that she missed the most when thinking of home.

Two years later, without seeing him once during this time, Spencer was back to Rosewood for the wedding of Alison DiLaurentis. As happy as she was for her best friend, she was unable to avoid the apprehension and anxiety that came right away as soon as thought of going back in that city. She would not only see her best friends and old people she knew, but also have to come face to face with Toby Cavanaugh. And greater the longing to see him, bigger was the fear whether she was ready for it or not.
