Okay, this one, I worked on for two hours after I released my first one because you guys were awesome! =) Enjoy!
-Spencer-
I rubbed Melissa's hand soothingly as the doctor came in. She was sound asleep and didn't know I was here, but I wanted to be with her. As I sat examining the fascinating history of medicine booklet on the table a thought flashed through my head. What if she thought I had crashed the car on purpose? No she wouldn't. She couldn't. Yes, I didn't like – Him. But she knows I would never do that.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by the doctors rushing in. They started checking the baby, once again. I jumped to my feet as he took readings on all the machines.
"Will the baby be okay?" I asked. At first, I was kind of of unenthusiastic about this baby – Shocked actually. But I eventually came to realize this was my niece/nephew. I really hoped the baby was fine. Melissa was my sister and yes, sometimes was really mean to me, but I know how much this baby meant to her. So I had to care.
"We have just determined that… The baby will be fine." The doctor said with a smile on her face. Without relizing I was smiling too.
"Thank you!" I said. I was so happy for Melissa. She would love this.
"No problem, honey." She said, beaming and walked out of the room. Just as I saw my mom heading in.
Oh joy
It was different with my mother. She thought that I had caused Ian's disappearance. Yeah, they were calling it a "disappearance." She thought I had scared him off. She never stopped to think that maybe I might be telling the truth. I got up to leave, just as she walked in.
"Hello Spencer." She said stiffly as though I wasn't her daughter, but a rude obnoxious client, she had.
"Hello mother. I was just leaving." I stated and got up to leave. Just as I was about to exit the doorway Melissa spoke.
"Spencer, wait." She weakly asked from her bed.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I want you to stay. Mom, lay off her." She commanded. Melissa on my side? She must not know about Ian yet.
My mother seemed speechless. She was debating whether to listen to her angel child or fight me, the demon one.
She signed and motioned for me to come back in. I sat by Melissa again and smiled.
"I have good news." I told Melissa. Her face perked up.
"What?" she asked hopefully.
"Your baby is going to be okay?" I told her. Her face lit up. Then mom decided to interfere.
"Spencer, you should probably leave now, seeing as your friends are expecting you." She stated coldly. My friends weren't expecting me. She was just uncomfortable with me in the same room as her.
"Yeah, bye." I said to both. Melissa waved goodbye. My mother just occupied my space. Why was Melissa being so nice? It didn't make sense. She probably didn't know about Ian, yet. Then all hell would break lose.
I started walking to my car. I got in and pushed the key into the ignition.
It wasn't long until the tears started falling.
-Aria-
I cuddling with Ezra and we were watching my favorite show. I was giggling because he kept failing to guess my favorite character.
"Is it her." He asked, pointing to the girl who was my least favorite.
"No." I said giggling into his chest.
"Her?"
"No." I said once again, I was still giggling. He kept failing.
"Him?" he asked, with an eyebrow raise.
"No and Mr. Fitz you know I only have eyes for you." I said.
He kissed the top of my head "And I for you."
We watched the show some more before some reality show rolled onto the screen. We channel surfed some more before getting up and relizeing we were hungry. We ransacked the kitchen until we realized we'd found nothing. I threw him a look. I was sure there had been something, yesterday.
"What can I say? I eat when I'm sad." He joked and pulled me into a kiss.
"I'll get takeout." I said, on reflex I grabbed my keys, but he placed his hand on mine and looked me in the eye in a way that took my breath away.
"No, lets go out." He said and I remember: He no longer thought at Rosewood Day. Wow, I am stupid.
"Yes, lets." I said linking my fingers through his, smiling at him the entire time.
-Toby-
"Toby! I need help with something!" Jenna called from the other room. I walked into the room. She was reaching for her phone. She clearly could get it, but just wanted to annoy me.
I reached for it and grabbed it easily. I was about to give it to her, when I realized the surface seemed really familiar. I looked down and realized it was my phone. Now, Jenna couldn't see, but she clearly had hers with her. I could see the outline in her pocket.
"What do you want with my phone?" I asked.
"That's yours? Oh. I guess I forgot mine was in my pocket. My bad." Jenna said. It wasn't her bad. She knew she had hers with her. She just wanted to spy on me… Or jeopardize my relationship with Spencer. Either one.
I knew I had to act like it was her bad. Otherwise she'd make up some story and tell my parents about how I yelled at her for no reason.
"Its fine." I said, walking out of the room. My phone rand just as I stepped out. I prayed it was Spencer, but when I looked down I saw the name Courtney and felt disappointed.
'Hello, "I said into the phone
"Hello cousin."
-Ezra-
It felt so good, to be eating at a McDonalds out in the open with Aria.
It wasn't the classiest of places, but it didn't matter. We were together and now out relationship was legal. I watched as she ate her burger.
She seemed just as happy and that made me happier.
When we finally finished she wrapped her arms around me in the parking lot and said "Where to?'
"I was thinking we'd catch a movie…" I replied with a grin planted on my face.
"Lets go then." She said. We walked to my car and I held the door open for her.
"After you." I said. She said her thanks and stepped inside.
I have never been so happy.
-Toby-
"Courtney, you actually got a job?" I asked incredulously. Courtney was my older cousin and mentor… Mentor for nothing, but she was there when I needed her.
"Yup. I actually put in the effort to get one and you haven't heard the best one." Her voice said on the phone.
"What?"
"I'm coming to Rosewood or at least near it for it." She announced.
"Courtney, that's awesome!" I said excitedly.
She sighed and said, "Who is she?"
"How'd you know?"
"I know everything. Plus, you're not my only cousin. Also, I can tell by the faraway voice thing, you keep doing. Going to la-la land?" she teased.
"Okay, I'll tell you later, when you get here.' I said.
"When am I coming then?" she challenged.
"Tomorrow, you told over the phone." I said. Courtney had a tendency to be… Forgetful
"Oh yeah, tomorrow then, cousin. See you. And you better tell me about this girl." She ordered.
"Yes, Courtney. Well I have to go. Goodbye." I said.
"Bye, Toby." She said and then she hung up.
-Spencer-
I was eating takeout alone, when Toby called me.
"Hey." I said happily.
"Hey, what are you doing?" he asked.
'Eating takeout alone. Are you jealous of my mad social life?" I joked.
"You want company? I need to get out of this house." He said. He sounded aggravated.
"I'd love company… I'm just. So… scared." I explained.
"I'm coming." He said then hung up.
Then less than 5 minutes later, there was knock on my door. I opened it to find Toby standing on my porch. I opened the door and let him in.
"Hey, " I said and let him in. Once I had closed the door, he leaned down and kissed me. Once again, the electricity came.
"That was a nice way to say hello." I whispered and he smiled.
I led him into the kitchen and offered him some food. He rejected and looked at me like I was insane. I could tell he was angry, but he seemed calmer.
"Toby, I can tell you're angry. You don't have to tell me, but if you want to talk about it…" I asked and he nodded He seemed to watching me, waiting for something. I just sat and took a seat.
"So talk." I faintly said.
"Its just… Just… Jenna. She'd been snooping through my stuff. ALL DAY! I've even caught her, but I can't tell my parents because God knows they would NEVER believe me over precious little Jenna.' He said, his face was red with anger by the time he finished.
He then sat tense, as if waiting for me to hit him or something… I just looked at him and said, "If you have more, you can tell me. Go on."
"It's never been just that… It's just the way the look at me since the accident. Its like their CONVINCED I'm a monster. That I'm responsible. I didn't even do it! I've done things I regret. Lots of things, but I didn't do that.' He said. I reached and rubbed his arm soothingly. He didn't flinch at my touch, but actually relaxed a little bit. He looked at me sideways.
"I keep waiting for it." He whispered.
"Waiting for what?" I asked.
"You to go running to Jenna. Telling her what I said. Or one of your friends." He whispered.
"I'd NEVER do that. And if you every need to talk. I… I'm here." I said, looking him in the eye. He then leaned over and kissed me. Then started pouring it out… His abuse from Jenna. Everything except the part where she was seducing him. I could tell he didn't know how to say it.
I just sat there, rubbing his arm. Occasionally speaking. But mostly comforting. After a while he stopped.
"Do you feel better?" I asked.
"Yeah, I actually do. But, I have some good news." He said.
"What's that?" I asked.
"My cousin, Courtney, is coming to visit, tomorrow. You'll like her. She's a lot like your friend… Hanna, right?" He asked.
"If she'd clever, witty and fun, she'd Hanna." I joked.
"I just don't feel like I can go back." He confessed.
"You can stay here." I blurted, before I realized, my parents weren't hear tonight. They were staying with Melissa.
"Are you sure? I mean your parents…"
"Are staying with Melissa. Your free to stay here." I said looking away.
'You look away, every time your parents come up.' He observed.
"Is it that obvious?" I asked.
"It's the same as what you said. You can talk to me if you need anyone. Like I said… I'm here for you… And with you…" he said. Then he kissed me.
"Thanks." I breathed.
He smiled, then my phone rand. I checked the number. It was Emily. He walked away, so I could have my space and I told him to turn on the T.V.
Then my phones screen changed.

Remember my last message, I suggest you start looking. And fast. You never know when the truth right under your nose, darling. -A
-Aria-
I was at home after my day with Ezra, as my phone rang. Must be Hanna, Emily or Spencer. I pulled over to the side and checked it.
A
Wonder why I kept Spencer alive? Go meet with your buddies and find out… Before it's to late. –A
I am SO SO SORRY that I didn't put Hanna and Emily in this one. Its just I didn't know where to put them. Promise they'll be in my next one. Please review so I know what to improve and stuff. (Don't be afraid to compliment me XD)
