Chapter 2: A little secret

Spencer's POV

I woke up and opened my eyes easy. I yawned.
I was looking up and down. My heartbeat rose within seconds. My body was tangled in a tight hug. But from who? I didn't know.

{"Stay calm" the person said. "I won't hurt you. But if you scream I will."}

Parts of the memories kept coming back, they flashed in my head. In one second I was out of bed, watching the figure who was still laying in my bed.
I hated this!
After the incident me, my mom, my dad and my sister sat together to talk about the situation. They decided to keep it our little secret.
I wasn't even prepared when he said his next few words.

"You can't tell the girls either!" he said with seriousness in his voice.

"What?!" I yelled, tears forming in my eyes.

I couldn't handle the fact that I needed to keep this a 'little' secret. Because to be honest, it wasn't 'little'.

But the figure in my bed seemed 'normal'. Otherwise he would be up so fast, but this man was just laying there. That made me think.

Oh no Spence… You did it again!

Memories from last night kept popping up in my head and I collected all the pieces and putted them back together. But there were still a couple parts missing.

After I left the brew with Hanna and Aria we split up. We almost waited an hour for Alison to come back but she didn't. We all guessed that Alison and Emily needed some alone time. They didn't exactly knew what was going on or what happened. I was smart enough to notice that it probably had something to do with Noel.
She ran out after Aria announced that she was dating him. I would figure that out somehow. But first I need to think about this awful hangover. Where did I get this goddamn hangover?

But before I could even say something to this guy, I tasted the flavor of what I ate yesterday.

Oh no, serious Spence? I thought by myself as I pulled the trashcan from under my desk.

While I was vomiting in the trashcan I heard the person standing up from my bed and I saw him walking over in the corner of my eye.
He tapped on my back a couple times.

He'll never be a doctor! Tapping on the back of someone who is vomiting? Not a good idea at all. I could choke in my vomit. I thought by myself.

But right at the moment I wanted to say something to make him stop a started rubbing my back very gently. I look up and see the most beautiful man on earth.

Now I remember. It's the handsome police officer Toby Cavanaugh…

"Are you okay?" a small, soft, sincere voice asked. You could hear that it was a manly voice but it was very soft. My knees collapsed when I heard the soft voice that belonged to that muscled police officer.

Why do you always go for the rich ones Spence? I asked myself.

"I'm fine, Toby." I said a little insecure about the name in my voice.

"I'm glad to hear that, Spence." He said. A little smirk appeared on his lips.

What was he thinking about? What does that smirk mean? Oh no…

I gave a little smile back. Still questioning myself about where that smirk eventually came from.

He laughed. That was the moment I could feel my cheeks blush so I looked at the window.

After an awkward silence he broke the silence by asking what I wanted to eat for breakfast.

"I would like some pancakes; sausages; scrambled eggs; …" I kept going. What was I hungry!

I felt like I didn't sleep more than 5 hours and my brain was hurting, probably because off the hangover I had.

When he went downstairs only wearing underwear I heard a little scream. I jumped up, scared of what was happening downstairs, I grabbed a baseball bat and completed my way downstairs.

When I arrived I realized I was only wearing underwear too.

I was relieved by who I saw.

I saw there was no one else than my sister, my mother and a almost naked Toby.

"I thought someone was getting murdered." I said after a loud sigh escaped my throat.

"Maybe I'll burn to dead by the muscled hot man I see in front of me!" Melissa joked.

"But no worries Spence, I already have Wren. He's a doctor." She said while turning to face Toby. Letting him know that he basically isn't good enough for her.

"I suggest, Toby, that you get dressed before you start with breakfast." Miss Hastings said with a smile in a try to comfort Toby.

"Oh yeah! Sure Miss Hastings." He said.

Toby was already walking up the stairs when Miss Hastings yelled at him.

"You can call me Veronica!"

When she turned back she saw two curious eyes watching hers.

How the hell did mom know his name? I thought.

Emily's POV

The sun was rising when I woke up.
I examined the clock on the bedside table, 7:32, it read.

Is it that late already?

For most people it's a pain in the ass but you get used to it.

My heart almost stopped when I heard something fall and break.

Damn, always me.

I took the nearest item, a pillow, not the best choice..

I ran downstairs and saw a figure standing right in front of me. The figure was wearing a black hoodie, apparently like all the gangsters in this dumbass town.

I knocked the figure on the head and was shocked when I heard a girl say, "Emily!"

"Oh no Ali!"

She turned around and before I could register what was happening I felt flower against my face.

"This is war!", I yelled.

"Oh no. I'm so scared.", Alison said sarcastically.

The front door opened and Aria walked in.

"What the hell is going on?", Aria asked.

I just shrugged, "Flower fight."

Alison looked at me and back at the flower.

"Emily started", she said in the most innocent and cute voice.

"Whoops", was all I managed to say.

"C'mon guys", Aria said, "What are you? Five?"

"Kinda", I said.

"Clean up", Aria said.

While we were cleaning up, I looked over at Aria and mouthed 'I'm sorry'.
She just high class ignored me and focused on the film she was watching.

After we cleaned up, Alison asked, "What are you doing here anyway?"

"I was just going to check on Em. She seemed upset yesterday", Aria said.

"Emily's in good hands", Alison said.

"I'm gonna take a shower", I said.

"Sure, I'll just wait until you're out", she said.

"You can come if you want", I said, followed by a wink.

"Nah, I'm fine", Ali said.

"Your choice", I said.

I went upstairs and thought about the amazing time the five of us had in high school.
