Her beautiful brown hair was longer than he remembered, but just like it was when they first met when it use to run all the way down her back with her perfect curls he use to love running his fingers round. The expression on her face was not what he imagined he always thought after all that time locked away she may look , he hate to say it but broken, but she didn't she looked like she normally did maybe not exactly the same but close enough. Almost like nothing has happened to her.

Emily must of noticed Toby staring and turned to follow his gaze startled to see her tall brunette friend she longed to see so many times ,she felt like running up to her hugging her and never letting her go or leave her side but her feet felt like cement she couldn't move.

" thank you"

He heard her say and with that he felt like breaking down the softness of her voice pulling at his heart threatening to break it.

" so why do you need to go to rosewood" the voice next to her said. Emily and Toby were to obsessed admiring her that they didn't notice the person next to her , a middle aged guy wearing an alumnus jacket with a company logo on.

" I just have some people I have been putting of seeing but I think I'm ready now , are you sure you don't mind giving me a lift "

" not at all I have a delivery there any way " He responded

Toby's heart couldn't take it anymore he had to say something before his head exploded was she on her way to see him , how long has she been out , why have she not wanted to see him sooner .

"Spence" he asked barley louder than a whisper terrified she would turn around and it wasn't really her it would be a stranger . That had happen a few times he would think he would see her just walking around the park and when he would call her name it would turn out to be a complete stranger ,but that didn't happen this time it was her it really was her.

"Toby" She breathed out looking shocked and her almost perfect appearance from before seemed to just shatter when her brown hazel nut eyes locked with his ocean blue ones , he finally saw the pain in her eyes , something he always worried about if he did get her back would she be too broken to repair would she always be a silhouette of her former self.

But it wasn't just Toby who heart was breaking Emily's heart was too , she would never admit this but their were many of nights when she would think what if she knew it wasn't healthy but she couldn't help it she always thought what if she tried harder to get Spencer out when she escaped, what if she decided not to leave her friend behind and stay in their with her. This time she couldn't stop herself from running up to the brunette and locking her arms around her squeezing Spencer extra tight just to make sure she was real , and she knew she was when she hugged back just as tight they stayed like that for a few minutes lost in the moment until Spencer realised they were in public and let go but Emily didn't , still not ready to let go of someone she thought she would never be able to hold again she had 4 years to make up for.

Spencer let out a small laugh " I missed you so much em it's unbelievable but you can let go now I can't breath"

Emily let out a nervous laugh and let go.

"I'm sorry to inturpted but I have to get going do you still need that lift" The driver next to Spencer asked who she completely forgot about

"You can go thank you any way but I think I will be fine "

He quickly patted Spencer on the shoulder picked up his rucksack and walked around the corner.

Toby was still in shock stood in the same spot he was a minute ago until his eyes locked with hers again and he decided he was too far away from her he needed to feel her again and to smell her and just finally hold her again , and it looked like she felt the same , like she could understand just what he was thinking just by looking at him. She started to run up to him slow at first then faster until she jumped into his arms wrapping her legs around his waist. He responded with holding her tightly one arm wrapped protectively around her waist the over one in the hair , soon he started to feel his tshirt go damp , she was crying , that only made him hold her closer. He started to kiss her forehead and whisper in her ear

"I've got you I promise I won't let you go ever ".

Tears also started to form in Toby's eyes. Too Spencer this was the first time she felt save in 4 years not when she finally escaped here in his arms where she knew no harm would come to her , not now she has him back.

They stayed like that until someone bumped into them on purpose obviously wanting to break up the pda , but not knowing really how important is was. Toby slowly put Spencer down on the floor , but then linked his hand with hers interning their fingers not ready to let go of her just yet , scared if he did she would disappear again . Some one bumped into Spencer again startling her causing her to jump and start scratching at her arms obviously feeling very paranoid and scared. Emily noticed her friends discomfort

"Hey spence do you want to get out of here we were just about to head back to rosewood "

Also Emily wanted to get Spencer alone to ask all the questions piling up in her head. Spencer didn't verbally respond she just nodded her head.

Emily's car has just turned down Spencer's street to Spencer's parents house , she wasn't sure where else to go , this was the last place Spencer lived before living God noes where with a maniac. But she also knew Spencer's parents were the number one people to see her first even before her friends , she always knew they cared about her all though they didn't always show it but it wasn't until Emily saw them at the police station the night she got out she remember running up to her mom and hugging her the same with Aria and Hanna with their moms but over the shoulder of her mom she saw the pain in the Hastings parents eyes watching everyone one else with their daughters knowing theirs was still in danger . The Hastings were always one for appearances never did they show any true emotions , in front of anyone but in the moment it was like they didn't care any more all the cared about was Spencer and her safety. She pulled into the Hastings drive way and looked at a sleeping Spencer in her rear view mirror curled up in Toby's chest. As soon as they got into Emily's car Toby opened the back door for Spencer to get in , just as he was about to turn and get in the front wanting to give her space , as much as he wanted to spend every second with her he didn't know what state she was in and wanted to put her needs first. But when he turned to leave she grabbed onto his arm her eyes pleading for him to stay which he did. The drive back was good they managed to miss any traffic but Spencer fell asleep straight away so they couldn't ask her any questions they had . They did stop on the way so Emily could inform Paige she couldn't pick her up at first she was angry but when Emily explained every thing that happened she understood.

Toby shook Spencer's shoulder lightly to wake her up he could tell she was very confused about where she was , when she saw the front of her house her heart started to beat faster and her breathing started to hitch but then her eyes found Toby's and she started to remember what happened. Spencer followed Emily and Toby to the front of her house , she trailed behind her feet moving slowly she dreamed of walking into her house so many times , but now actually doing it was a bit surreal she noticed how in four years a lot have changed the flowers out the front of her house that her mom loved so much had been replaced with gravel , the statues that stood on her front porch were now gone , and her dad had gotten a new car. They were small changes but Spencer started to wonder what else have changed what if her parents have forgot about her , moved on it has been four years. She noticed now that Emily and Toby were now at her front door so she quickly followed behind them climbing into the porch when the front door opened . Their stood her mother , she was dressed in a navy blue dress and a black blazer , her usual work clothes , she looked the same her hair had a few more greys and her eyes had more winkles under neath them than before but apart from that she was the same women Spencer remembered. Veronica's eyes lit up as she saw Toby , after Spencer's dissaperance Toby had grew quite close to the Hastings , they have came to look at Toby as a member of the family he had checked in on them nearly ever weekend for the past four years even if he just sat their and listen to them talk about there jobs most of the time they knew he didn't understand most of what they were saying but they were still great full for his company.

" Toby hey , oh hello Emily what a pleasure I haven't seen you in while what brings you here "

Toby and Emily both looked at each other un sure what to say they just kept stuttering.

"Mom"

Spencer said from behind her Veronica eyes darted to the voice her eyes filling up she pushed past Toby and Emily and wrapped her arms around her daughter she lost many years ago.

" Peter "

" what is it who's at the door I hope it isn't the guy who came by yesterday asking us to change our insurance to his company tell him "

His words cut short and he noticed exactly who was at the door he too pushed part Toby and Emily and went straight to Spencer joining in on the hug.

-
"So you spotted her just outside of Philly leaving a cafe and she hasn't said anything about where she was or how she escaped"

Peter asked quietly still aware that his daughter was just in the toilet down the hall , he still couldn't get his head around it his daughter, Spencer his beautiful baby girl was down the hall safe.

"No she was asleep in the car I don't know any thing more than you do just that she's safe"

Toby replied taking a sip of his coffee , Veronica just made him. Emily left a minute ago her parents decided it was probably for the best if they're wasn't to many people around her , she totally understood it was for the best and said she was going to go tell aria and Hanna.

"Where's Emily "
Spencer asked walking into the kitchen her voice still a small whisper , a hint of fear peaking through.

"She decided to head home honey can we get you anything a coffee something to eat you must be starving"

Her mom asked

"No I'm good thank you"

Spencer replied politely joining her parents and Toby in the living room sitting in the space next to Toby she moved extra close to him that he was a shield protecting her .

Peter , Veronica and Toby exchanged awkward glances with each other they sat in silence for about 5 minutes un sure of what to say . Then all of a sudden a cell phone started to ring they all looked at each other realising its not theirs , then Spencer started to pull a ringing cell phone out of her pocket to answer it.

"Yeah I'm here I got here safely , no I'm fine I'm fine " she replied into the phone in a small voice

Toby wondered who was calling her he didn't know if she moved on or he didn't know anything at all about anything. Spencer replied in small whispers obviously still on edge.

" il promise I will come straight home if any thing happens"

Hearing her say home broke his heart she found somewhere else she belonged it was like she might have a different life he didn't know about , it was obvious she wanted to end the conversation still jumpy and scared around people.

"Okay bye bye "

She ended the call putting her phone back in her back pocket of her jeans "

"Who was that "

Peter asked , the dreaded question everyone wanted to ask.
