Lauren Carstens
It's only the beginning
It all started when Toby said those six nerve racking words to Spencer, "I need to talk to you." At that moment, everything changed in Spencer's world. The whole time she was dating Toby, he was the one trying to kill her and make her life a living hell. She just sat there, staring at him, wondering is this a dream? Is this reality? "Are you serious? Because if this is one of your sick jokes it's not funny," Spencer said. Toby unfortunately replied, "Yes, Spencer. I'm serious." Spencer, in shock, jumped up and immediately backed away from Toby. Toby got up to try and comfort her. "Don't touch me!" Spencer exclaimed when Toby tried to grab her hand. "How could you do this to me? You know all the hell I went through with A or I guess, you now!" Spencer yelled. Toby replied, "I know, and I didn't know I would fall for you this much. I love you so much Spencer. I'm so sor-." "Don't even say that you're sorry! You think that a sorry will make me forgive you for what you have put me through!" "I wanted you to know who I was before things went any farther between us. I felt guilt all the time, every time I saw you. I want to change this. I want to be with you. I don't want to play this A game anymore. I love you," Toby said. Spencer just stood there for a good long minute with no reply. "Spencer?" Toby asked. "We can't tell them," Spencer said. "Tell who?" Toby responded. "Tell the girls. You and I can get past this, but they can't. They will hate you. Especially Emily, and do you want that?" Spencer pleaded."I don't want any of them to hate me," Toby said. "Exactly. So we don't tell them that you were A all along and you stop Jenna from what she is doing to us. Got it?" Spencer said demandingly. "Got it," Toby said thankfully. "Now I have to go meet my mom now so I will call you later," Spencer aid. "Ok, I love you Spencer. Thank you." Toby said. "Yeah," Spencer replied. Spencer grabbed her purse and jacket and walked towards the door. She turns around and says, "This doesn't mean we are okay. I can't express how mad I am at you for doing this to me. But I don't want to give up on what we have." Toby responded, "I know. But it is more than I ever thought I would get." Spencer questionably looked at Toby, wondering if this is the right thing she should be doing. She started to walk out when she suddenly paused and turned around. She scanned Toby's face for any other indication of a lie. She slowly walked toward him and kissed him goodbye, for she was not sure when the next time they would meet would be. She then walked toward the exit with disappointment and confusion, turned around once more, and then dramatically shut the door.
