This is the first chapter. This is where it gets a bit OCC, but I have good intentions on why I'm making it that way.

I will never own PLL.

True Love Never Dies

Chapter One: What Happened Five Years Ago

Spencer Hastings rolled and tossed in her bed all night. Her mind was heavily clouded with happy and sad memories. They all seemed to mock her and not allow her any sleep. Finally, Spencer gave up on sleep and snapped open her tired brown eyes.

Instantly, Spencer rolled onto her side to look at her bedside table. In the small draw was a picture frame flipped so you could only see the back of it. Spencer flipped it so she could see the wonderful picture the brown wood of the picture frame held.

The picture was of Spencer and her ex boyfriend Toby Cavanaugh.

It was taken on their graduation day. They were in red and white graduation robes. Toby in a red robe; Spencer was in a white one. It was the saddest day in Spencer's life.

After Spencer's valedictorian speech she was captured by the waist. Someone started kissing her ear softly. "Toby!" Spencer squealed trying to squirm out of his firm grip.

Toby Cavanaugh smirked and turned his squirming girlfriend around in his arms to face him. "How'd you know it was me?" He pressed his lips together in a straight line.

"'Cause only you would do that to me." Spencer smiled and leaned in for a sweet kiss.

They were on a verge of a make out session when voices screeching, "Spencer!" broke them apart.

Emily Fields, Aria Montgomery, and Hanna Marin came racing towards Spencer and tackled her in a four girl group hug. Toby stepped aside to let Spencer chat with her friends. After a thousand pictures of Spencer, Spencer with her friends, Spencer with her family, and Spencer with Toby everyone drifted off to their own family and friends leaving Spencer and Toby alone.

They were walking hand in hand around Rosewood High School. This was no longer their school. Soon enough in the fall they'd be in college. Spencer would be attending Pennsylvania Stat University following her older sister Melissa's footsteps. Toby was going to Hollis College here in Rosewood. It was a long distance, but at least they weren't in different states like Emily and Maya.

Emily had gotten a swimming scholarship to Danby University and Maya decided to go to California University where she's originally from. It was sad for both of them, but they trusted each other enough not to cheat.

Spencer trusted Toby not to cheat on her. It was other girls Spencer didn't trust.

Toby was defiantly good looking. He had beautiful brown hair that swooped just right. His Caribbean blue eyes made you just want to melt inside when you looking into them. Also Toby had a hot body with a glorious six pack. But, that was only Toby's physical features.

Toby was a caring and loving person who thought about everyone else before himself. He was there for you when you needed him. He listened when you had stuff you just needed to tell someone. He cared for you. He loved you with a lot of passion. Also Toby supported you no matter what. Spencer was very lucky to have him as a boyfriend.

Finally, they made a stop outside on the steps of the front entrance. They were holding hands while watching other seniors run off to their friends and family. It was such a happy sight.

Suddenly Toby let go of Spencer's hand. Spencer shot a curios look at him frowning at the loss of hand contact. "Something wrong?"

"Spencer, I need to tell you something."

"Me, too. You can go first."

Toby took a deep breath and let it out closing his eyes. 'I'm breaking up with you."

Spencer sprang from her spot on the steps. "What?"

The two of them had been dating since junior year. They've had a lot of curve balls at them, but their love proved its worth making a homerun hit with every pitch. Now, on their graduation day, Toby wanted to break up with her. It seemed unreal.

"We're going to be far away. Plus, I just don't think we'll last that long. It's better we break up now before it gets to messy." Toby explained, but Spencer knew that was the real reason.

"Real reason?"

Toby sighed heavily. "There's too much drama in your life. I'm tired of being caught up in it. I think I should finally break off from it. Goodbye Spencer."

The words tore Spencer's heart apart, but Hastings doesn't show emotion. So, Spencer held in her tears and heart break when her parents asked where Toby had gone. Spencer fought the tears that threaten to fall from her eyes as she told them he broke up with her.

Her parents and Melissa were thrilled at the news. They never liked Toby; they only thought he was a trouble maker. At the celebration dinner she didn't have any enthusiasm. Spencer just twirled the straw in her alcoholic drink that she hadn't taken one sip from. Her parents chattered and exclaimed with excitement about more of Melissa's achievements not even caring that Spencer looked so depressed right now.

Back at home Spencer took a long hot shower to clear her head. But all Spencer could think about was Toby. She slid down against the shower wall holding her knees to her chest. Silent cries escaped her as the water from the shower poured down on her.

In her warm comfy bed Spencer cried for hours and hours. Everything that reminded her of Toby she put in an old shoe box. Pictures, presents, CDs, movies, and letters all went into that box. Taking a permanent marker out Spencer wrote on the top: Open when the time comes.

She hid it far in the back underneath her bed to make sure no one could find it. Back on her bed Spencer lied on her side. Rubbing her flat stomach Spencer whispered to the only thing that mattered in her life now. "It's alright, baby. We're going to be okay."
