Chapter 1.
Emily POV
I lay on my quilt, Hanna sitting across from me. I was in a vivid conversation with toby on the phone.
"Toby you're coming back to Rosewood! That's great!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, only a few days to help my dad pack up the house. Violet's coming with me." Toby mumbled.
I made a disgusted expression and pressed my hand to the receiver. "Hanna the Bitch is coming." I grumbled. Hanna looked up from her magazines with a confused expression "who are we talking about." She muttered. I simply sighed "Toby call me as soon as your home."
"Will do." He said warmly.
We both hang up and I glance at Spencer's number maybe her and Toby have a chance now. Spencer would deny any interest. She had Andrew who she was contemplating moving in with but with Toby, Spencer would fall like a domino.
"We have to get Toby and Spencer together." I said planning
Hanna shook her head "We have work to focus on, money if they love each other we shouldn't have to put them together."
"You'd hate losing Caleb to a primadonna, Spencer does too but she's stubborn she'd never admit it without a push." I said
"Maybe I would but Spencer is smart. Andrew makes her happy no risks, she won't leave that assurance." Hanna responds
"I know she needs to step up." I mumbled already lost in thought. Just a little push.
Spencer POV
"Hey Spence, how are you?" Andrew's voice crackles through the phone
"Tired." I mumbled, sipping coffee "You?"
"Same" he replied "have you been thinking about moving in at all? Spence things would be heaps easier that way." He grumbled.
"I've been thinking and I'm just not sure yet."
"…we've been together a year now. Why not?" His voice is near pleading
"I like having my own space." I lied.
"Night Spence…" he said weakly
"Night Andrew" I replied in the same monotone voice he'd used.
Only nights ago I'd been on the verge of saying yes. Living with Andrew wouldn't be bad but talking to Emily on the phone had discouraged me. She surprised me with the fact Toby would be arriving in Rosewood any moment and how glad she was we could all be reunited. I guess the news spooked me Toby had been my first love it took me two years to forget about him and now I had Andrew. I couldn't loose that.
I reached out under my bed weakly grasping for the cardboard box I couldn't bring myself to destroy well I couldn't bring myself to destroy its contents. I hate not being able to destroy all these things; having these I felt like I'd cheated Andrew.
My slender fingers brush the side of the glossy photographic paper. The photographs say were still together, still in love. Holding hands, Hugging, Laughing, Grinning, Talking, Dancing, Kissing, Playing, being each other's support. I can't deny it that was once us. Even if I did destroy the photos the cards, the gifts, memories are indestructible.
I don't love Toby but I once did. I love Andrew, right?
Spencer of course you love Andrew. What am I saying?
I shove the box underneath my bed trying my hardest to ignore it. Things can't change simply because toby is coming back, he's in the past and Andrew is in my present.
It has been five years if Toby wanted me like I'd wanted him he would have come back so long ago saved me the pain. The time.
I grumbled incoherently and rolled over on to my side facing the window the moon was high in the overhead sky which was tainted black. Stars glinted mischievously staring back at me maybe even laughing at my lost direction.
God don't break me down. I've been trying too hard.
Toby POV
Katrina my glamorous wife entered into the kitchen where I leaned against the wall. Her slim build hesitated at the doorway. Her hair was in a bob of bouncy, free, fair hair with her porcelain skin and faultless features.
She noticed me staring "What?" her voice was soft and floaty.
After she applied her extra coat of lip-gloss I replied "I really can't believe I'm with you." it was true it was unbelievable.
Katrina giggled she liked it when it was all about her "If you can't believe it it's usually a dream."
"Then I don't think I'll be waking up any time soon." She kissed me softly only for a moment
Suddenly she was serious "Now I've heard things, only rumours about how you used to be pretty serious with a girl here. Will you have a thing with her again if we meet her?"
"Of course not; she's in the past." I tried to mean it but I couldn't pretend Spencer was my past. Here I was returned to be reunited with her and that had made me come to terms with the fact that I'd never loved anybody like I loved Spencer.
That didn't mean Katrina was an accessory I loved her.
Spencer had to be in the past or at least it had to seem that way.
Okay so I'm currently thinking I did this chapter thing wrong. This site is really hard to use could someone please tell me how to link chapters, that would be great. Anyway if this did work I don't own PLL and the only character in this chapter I own is Katrina. I wrote this late and since this isn't serious, its like writing therapy I didn't edit this so maybe expect typos. I wrote this while listening to Lana Del Rey; Million Dollar Man.
