Nothing hurts more than betrayal. The kiss of betrayal is always toxic and deadly. Especially when it's someone you were ready to trust your life to. But life is this. Life is full of terror, hurt, love, happiness, and loyalty. Pain demands to be felt, without it we wouldn't be human. Everything happens reason for a reason, at least that's what Spencer used to think. Maybe this was a beginning of something else entirely. Little did she know that at the end every thing she'd been through, with her friends, with Toby, every single tear was worth shedding and every heartbreak was worth it. Because at the end she couldn't have wanted it different.
" Spencer? " Hanna knocked on her door. She was Spencer curled up in bed and she could hear her sobbing.
She walked over to her bed and sat down on the edge. She put her hand on her back.
" Everything is going to be alright. I promise you. I saw To- I saw him leaving."
" He- He's gone? " she asked and sat. Hanna nodded her head.
" It's done Hanna. A is gone. Nobody will hurt us again. A is gone, Toby is gone. " She sobbed and wrapped her arms around her best friend. She needed comfort. She knew she'd die. She knew she couldn't handle it.
" Sssh, it's going to be okay, please don't cry, " Hanna was unable to hold the tears back, too.
Spencer shook her head wildly. " I trusted him, I loved him so much, I want to die. " she buried her face into Hanna's shoulder. Her tears soaked her best friend's top. Hanna brushed her hair.
" You still have us. "
How could she possible trust anyone ever again? She didn't even trust her own friends. And from this day forward she decided nothing can be trusted. Not a friend, not a boyfriend, not even yourself. The persons you love the most will let you down. They will always leave you. But you have the stand strong and know how to continue your life. You have to forget it, move on. It's easier said then done, but if you won't do it the past will haunt you and you'll never learn how to live in peace. So that's exactly what Spencer decided to do move on. After she graduated Rosewood High with straight A's she wanted to major in pharmacy and open her own drugstore. She wanted to save people. She loved her roommate, it reminded her of Hanna, Aria and Emily.
The first day she moved to her new home she used to hate, she was a know it all, a huge pain in the ass but later she just saw a replica of herself in Jane. She hadn't told her about A, but she'd told her about Toby. A boy who she used to love, someone she trusted with her life but he betrayed her. It had the truth to it. She started on her own, she started fresh and Spencer put the past behind her. This was the moment to shine, show what she was made of. She chose a school that had different faculties. This was her second year and everything was going to way it was supposed to. No drama, no A. A new beginning is always good, that's what her mother told her.
" You have got to be kidding me! " Spencer yelled when she found her favorite shirt under her bed that was in an unwearable condition. She ran down the hall and stormed into Jane's room.
" Did you do this? " She tried to stay calm.
" I wouldn't dare to, " Jane said while putting on her favorite tropical punch lip gloss. " I know that is you're home shirt. You wear that while you sleep. I don't get why, it looks like a man shirt, but yeah "
She didn't have the strength to throw away the shirt Toby left her after their first time. She tried, but she couldn't.
" Damn it Jane, I told you that you can wear anything but wear this. Or even touch it! "
" I didn't touch it, Spence! "
She threw her shirt to her; Jane caught it just in time.
" fix it, now! " Spencer said and walked back to her room.
Classes, of course Spencer Hastings was the type of person who actually loved going to school. But sometimes even her thoughts wondered off. Mostly she didn't even know where to, but she just didn't listen anymore. That's what's so scary about the human mind, being alone with your thoughts.
The bell made her jump up she grabbed her bag and met up with Jane in the cafeteria.
" Hey, you fixed it? " was the first thing Spencer asked.
" I'm not answering until you tell me the meaning of the incredible shirt "
" Jane, - "
" Enough of Jane already, what's with the holy shirt. "
" it was his " she cleared her throat.
" his? " Jane asked. " as in your father's? "
" oh come on. "
" What how the hell am I supposed to know who he is. "
" Toby " she whispered saying his voice made her heart break all over again.
" Oh, " was all she said. " I'm sorry, I really didn't know, "
" It's okay, " it was not.
Spencer took a bite of her apple and a sip of her vitamin water. Jane was sitting across of her.
" Don't you have class? " Spencer asked.
" I do, but I don't feel like going. I'd rather sit here with you, "
Spencer's eyes focused on a tall man. Everything about him was so familiar.
" What is it? " Jane asked.
Spencer shook her head, " nothing " her eyes were still on him.
He turned around and Spencer's heart rate dropped. She stared right into his crystal bright eyes.
" Oh my god, " was all she managed to say. She grabbed her bag from the chair but dropped all her books.
She tried to pick them up as fast as possible but then she hit it to the table.
" Woah, calm down, Spence " Jane said and helped her.
" keep down, " she whispered.
" why are we being so secretive? " Jane asked.
He walked right past them and stopped when he saw them kneeled on the ground. " Need some help? "
" no thanks, " Jane said. When he walked away, Spencer got up and looked at watched him walk the cafeteria out.
" who was that? "
" Toby Cavanaugh " she replied in a heart beat.
