I was getting ready to take Spencer back to visit Alex. Caleb was not convinced that I was having a girls day with Spencer. "Hanna I know you and I know when you're lying. Don't tell me that your having a girls day because your not." I put down my curling iron and walked out of the bathroom. "You know what Caleb Spencer and I just want to have a day to ourselves ok. Spencer needs to get out of the house and she asked me to come along." I told him. Caleb sighed. "Ok well enjoy your day." He said. I knew he didn't buy any of it but he let it go and walked away. I think he trusted me enough to know I would call him if I were in trouble. Caleb did not need to know that Spencer was visiting Alex. I picked up Spencer and headed towards the jail. Spencer was more confident this time and knew what she wanted to say to Alex. "Are you sure you want to go back Spence?" I asked her. She turned to me quickly, "Yes I can handle it." She said with confidence. We went into the jail and Spencer signed in. I watched Spencer walk back towards the visiting room. She is a lot braver than I would be. I looked over at the side table and reached for a magazine that looked good and began flipping through the pages. "Hanna what are you doing hear?" I hear a familiar voice ask me. "Oh hi Toby uh I'm just . . . " I had to think of a good excuse and quick. Toby and Caleb were still friends and I didn't want him to say anything. "Well crazy thing actually my uncle uh Gary is here so I am visiting him." Toby laughed. Great he didn't buy it. "Hanna I have never heard of your uncle Gary and I know you have been driving Spencer here." How did Toby know that I was driving Spencer here? Are the two of them talking again? "Oh." Was all I could reply. Toby walked over and sat down next to me. "So does Caleb know you're here?" He asked me concerned. I shook my head no. "Look I don't want Caleb to find out I am doing this for Spencer. He would not approve of it. Could you please not tell him?" I asked. Toby shook his head. "Hanna I don't think that's something I can keep from a friend. If he asks I will have to tell him the truth." I knew Toby was right but I didn't want him to. I agreed and told Toby that Spencer would be out soon if he wanted to wait. Toby shook his head. "No actually I was just coming in to pick up some paper work and then Tanner is waiting for me down at the station. " He waved goodbye and walked over to the front desk to pick up his paperwork. /p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Cambria;"I walked back the long hallway to the visitor's room. My hands were sweating and I felt the urge to throw up. Why was I so nervous? I asked myself. Maybe it was because my last visit didn't go so well. I walked in and sat down in the same chair as I did last time and waited for Alex to come out. I watched as the guard walked Alex over and sat her down in front of me. There was a long silence between us until Alex scooted closer to the glass "Spencer I told you not to come back here." She whispered. I laughed and sat back in my chair folding my arms. "Well I'm back, and we need to talk." I told her. Alex laughed, "Talk, about what? There is nothing to talk about." Alex replied. I sat closer to the glass. "Your upset because you feel you got the wrong end of the deal?" I asked her. Alex thought for a moment before answering. "I did get the short end of the stick. You got everything and I got nothing. You got the nice family and a great group of friends and you have Toby. That was all going to be mine until you ruined it for me." Alex slammed her fist down on the table. The guard looked over at me. "Everything's fine." I reassured him. He nodded and let us continue talking. "Alex, I can't even imagine how you must feel. But listen I never knew you existed and I never met Mary Drake until just recently. My whole life has been a lie. None of this is my fault and I would really appreciate it if you stopped taking this all out on me." I told her anger boiling up inside me. "I had not heard from Charlotte for a long time and then when I came here I was visiting her grave. She was the only one who was there for me." Alex said fiercely. I tried to be calm, "Alex why do you think Charlotte didn't want us to meet?" I asked her seriously. Alex sat up strait and leaned in closer to the glass. I could see tears welling up in her eyes. "Well I was thrown away like trash and Charlotte saved me. So I trusted her when she told me that you were toxic." Alex seemed to be angry now. I could understand why she was angry but I was also just as angry. "Alex I never knew you existed until just days ago! If I would have known about you then I would have tried to connect with you I can promise you that!" I was shouting now anger boiling up inside me. Alex sat back in her chair and laughed. "Yeah right." She sneered and motioned for the guards to take her back to her cell. "Wait Alex no please we need to work this out." She turned and walked away and acted like I wasn't there anymore. I watched as a tear splashed down on my pants. I had not realized that I was crying. I used my hands to wipe away the tears from my face and ran out of the visitor's room and down the long hallway to the waiting room. I just wanted Hanna to take me home. "Spencer." I recognized that familiar voice it was Toby. Before I could even say anything I ran up and let Toby embrace me in a hug tears streaming down my face. "Spence everything is ok." Toby told me stroking my hair. Why was Toby even here? I asked myself. I didn't care but I needed him right now. I continued to hug him until I opened my eyes and noticed Hanna standing right next to us looking confused. I pulled away. "Oh uh sorry Toby, Hanna lets get going." I told her. Hanna smiled. "Spencer why don't you have Toby take you home." She said nudging Toby in the side. Toby looked at her confused then smiled at me. "Sure Spence let me take you home." I looked at Hanna with a look that said seriously. She smiled and walked away out the door to her car. Now that Hanna was gone it was very awkward. "Well Spencer lets get you home. I have to run and drop these papers off at the station really quick is that ok?" Toby asked me. I smiled, "Sure" I agreed. /p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Cambria;"We walked out to my truck and I watched as Spencer tried to wipe the tears from her face. I don't know what happened in there but part of me wanted to ask. We got to my truck and I opened the door for Spencer to climb inside. Part of me felt like things never changed between us. I got in the car and began driving to the station. Our drive there was silent. Spencer had her hands folded in her lap and was staring out the window. I knew that she was trying to act like nothing was wrong. There was something bothering her and I wanted again so badly to ask. We got to the station. "Hey I will be right back." I told her touching her hands. She smiled at me and turned to continue looking out the window. I walked into the station and gave Tanner the papers and clocked out for the day. It was already 4:00 and usually I stayed till 5 but Tanner let me go home early. I walked back out to my truck to find Spencer in a puddle of tears. When she noticed me coming she quickly tried to hide them. "Spencer do you want to talk about it?" I asked her sympathetically climbing into the truck. She shook her head no. Maybe she didn't want to talk right now but she would later. We arrived at her house, which seemed empty. "Spencer where is your family?" I asked her. She sighed, "Probably still in Philly with Mellissa." It was not unusual in times like this for Spencer's family to just up and leave. Spencer did not need to be home alone tonight. "Are any of your friends coming over tonight?" I asked her. She shook her head no. "Hanna and Caleb are going on a date, Emily and Allison are taking the twins to visit family, and Aria and Ezra have a book signing to attend to. Don't worry Toby I will be fine." She tried reassuring me. Somehow I still felt the urge to stay. "Spencer look I don't think you should be home alone tonight. Please let me come in just for a little bit." I told her. She thought about it for a moment but then agreed a smile on her face. /p
