So, this one will be Mine, and a three-parter will be next. It'll be Invisible, Tear Drops On My Guitar, then You Belong With Me. And after all that maybe I'll do Enchanted, but I don't know.
I really hope you enjoy this one! And this is Toby's POV again, so, yep.
You were in college working part time waiting tables. Left a small town never looked back.
I had ordered a veggie sandwich and water. It was a small diner, and I was one of the only people in it. My waitress, she was beautiful. She had brown hair that went past her shoulders, and big brown eyes.
I asked her to sit with me, I learned she's from a small town with too many bad memories. She had phony friends, and when she left she never looked back, and her life has been so much easier.
I also learned she was in college, and she could've fooled me. She looked young for her age, in a good way. So we exchanged numbers, and he told me she just wanted a friend.
And that love is nothing to her.
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling, wondering if we bother with love if it never lasts.
Saying she just wanted a friend didn't do anything. I mean, maybe for her, but I could tell I had feelings for her. She was perfect.
I knew I shouldn't have felt it though, love is something she doesn't want to be a part of. Something bad had happened. She never told me, but it had to be awful.
It was Tuesday, and summertime, so she was from school, and worked from 1:00-5:00 p.m. She called me, inviting me over to her house.
"Hey." She smiled, which made my heart flutter. Or race, race sounds manlier.
"Hi." I replied. She stepped away from the door.
"I want to talk to you." She admitted, taking a deep breath. "I know I said I don't believe in love. But I really like you, and I want to be more than friends."
I looked at her, and smiled. I strode over to her and kissed her perfect lips.
I say, "Can you believe it?" As we're lying on the couch. The moment I can see it, yes, yes, I can see it now.
I invited her over to my small apartment. It was after her shift, so we decided to get take-out and watch movies on my couch.
When we tired of watching movies I turned towards her, "I can't believe this."
"What do you mean?" She replies.
"I don't know. But I'm glad you took a chance with love. I love you."
She smiled and straddled my lap. "I love you too."
I sighed, thinking that she's the one, I can see the rest of my life with her.
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time.
Our first "sleepover" together was at her family's lake house. We were both sitting on the dock with our feet. We hadn't been together for long, but it was nice to get away from everything.
She had put her head on my shoulder, and it was one of the first skin-to-skin contact we had. It was kind of an awkward situation, I hadn't had any girlfriends before, so I acted on instinct.
I put my around her, and it felt right. Even something as simple as it was, I couldn't have been happier, and I really didn't want to lose this amazing girl next to me.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter, you are the best thing that's ever been mine.
Skipping ahead a year and a half into our relationship, I had fallen face first in love with her. We spent everyday together, until it got too late, and she had to go back home.
I couldn't believe how much she's changed, and when I first said I loved her she was shocked, and nothing but happy. I was proud of her, she had come so far from whatever happened.
And I tell her that everyday, and I admit, she's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together, and there's a drawer of my things at your place.
We were ecstatic to move in together. Or rather her moving in. She didn't have much, and she already had a drawer of her things.
It was the most amazing to have the love of my life in my arms every single morning. And we grew closer, if that was even possible.
You learn my secrets and figure out why I'm guarded. You'll say we'll never make your parents mistakes.
It was Thursday, she had graduated finally, and it was July. There was a big storm, and we had to stay inside.
We told each other stories we didn't before, "I want to tell you tell you something." She starts. "When I was a child, my parents fought. All the time. But they stayed together, and it was obvious they didn't love each other. They both told me love was stupid, and it's fake, and that it doesn't last."
"Spence, I will always love you. No matter what you do. I love you for who you are, and I promise, we won't be anything like your parents." I reassured her. She smiled, and kissed me.
But we got bills to pay. We got nothing figured out, when it was hard to take, yes, yes, this is what I thought about.
Of course life still went on, and since she just graduated college, she didn't have a full-time job. And we were struggling with payments, and bills, and money.
We hadn't thought about anything, at all. We didn't know what would happen, we didn't how far we'd go, and it was hard on our relationship.
But it was too much to throw away, so we made it out, and in one piece.
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water? You put your arm around me, for the first time. You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mind.
"I remember we were at my parents' lake house. Well my father's. And I was scared to just put my head on your shoulder. You waited awhile to put your arm around me, and right before you did I remember thinking I should take my head off." She told me.
"You've been my first girlfriend! I didn't know what to do!" I defended, laughing. She threw a grape at my nose, before eating one herself.
"I'm glad I gave you a chance. I know I was awful and awkward the first few weeks." She sighed.
I pulled her into my arms. "Hey, you don't have to be sorry. You just grew up careful, and you're still the best thing that's happened to me."
Do you remember all the city lights on the water. You start to see me believe for the first time. You are the best thing, that's ever been mine.
I took her to a fair by a lake. It was amazing, and I saw it in her eyes, she actually started to believe we were forever.
I took her on the Ferris wheel first. And it looked over the blue lake, and it looked beautiful with all the lights from the fair. I reached in my pocket nervously, and decided not now.
So I took her to a photo booth. And the first picture was a normal one of us smiling, then goofy faces, and I kissed her cheek for the next, and for the fourth we were smiling at each other.
I told her I wanted to take one more. So I made her look towards a wall for the first one, while the little box was out. The next one was her looking at the ring, with her hands over her mouth. The third was of me putting the ring on, and the last was us hugging.
I was so happy at that moment, and I couldn't wait to marry the girl of my dreams.
And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m. as everything was slipping right out of our hands. I ran out crying and you followed me out into the streets.
We had come back from our engagement party, and I admit, I had been a bit drunk, and I might have been inappropriate.
"I can't believe you!" I screamed at me when we were inside.
"I'm sorry I'm human!" I yelled back.
"I know that! But you could've been classier!" She tells me.
"Classier? I don't drink expensive wine, and go to country clubs like your mother does. And maybe you should've known inviting both your parents would start something. I'm not used to my parents fighting!" I shouted, regretting everything right after.
She brushed past me, running out the house. And I knew if I didn't follow her, we'd be done. And I didn't want her to slip from my fingers.
Braced myself for the "goodbye" because that's all I've ever known. Then you took me by surprise, you said "I'll never leave you alone."
I call her name but, she keeps walking. "Please, Spence." I plead.
"I don't know if I can do this Toby." She tells me, turned away from me.
I walk up to her, and turn her around. I tilt her chin up, "I believe in you. You'll never be alone, not even for a second." I tell her. I kissed her lightly, which turned urgent, and passionate.
You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water, and every time I look at you, it's I fell like the first time. I fell in love with a carless man's careful daughter. She is the best thing, that's ever been mine."
Our wedding had been amazing. It was small, and it was a lot of fun. She looked stunning in her wedding dress.
It hadn't been that long before we brought Jack Jeffery Cavanaugh home. He had my hair and eyes, but that's pretty much it. And after him, we had Annabelle Susan Cavanaugh. She had brown hair, but blue eyes. And we started our lives together. We had one more after Annabelle turned seven, we only planned on two, but we couldn't wait for the arrival of Evelyn Margaret Cavanaugh.
*Scene* Tada! I kind of went from the music video in this one, and put my own twist. It's getting late(r) so goodnight!
It's actually only 3:40, but I wrote that late I guess. I totally forgot to update yesterday, I was swamped in homework. I did write Enchanted, and it's by far my favorite.
The next three have jerk Toby, so beware. I made him that way, it also has Toby/Mona... Whoopsies. And I'm currently working on I'm Only Me When I'm With You, so keep reading!
*P.S. If you're a guest, please put your name, or a nickname, it helps a lot. You can put whatever like kittykatlover123 or something. Thank you!
Guest: Thank you!
Spobylover1237: Yay! We (I) missed you, well your reviews anyway... And shank you!
Caitycaites: Thank you, and I'm glad.
Sarah: Thank you!
Fluffy Tazzy: I watched the Fatal Finale as soon as I got home from vacation, and it was SUPER awkward when Spencer and Toby were flirting because my whole family was with me. And my brother thought Spencer was the gay one. When I asked him why he said it was because she has a guy's name. He's 15.
Sometimes it really irritates me, there was a "rumor" that Patrick cheated on her, and these two girls were convinced it was true. The internet does more harm than good. Except with homework, then it's my best friend.
I've had to write so many papers in the past week, it's insane. Although despite how much I complain, I really do like high school so far. EXCEPT I LOST MY PENCIL POUCH! It happened at lunch (I'm guessing) and I get this feeling of dread each time I think about it. There wasn't anything too valuable in it, just my calculator and hand sanitizer that smells AMAZING. The rest I can get for cheap. BUT STILL!
Speaking of losing sleep, I stayed up until 11:30 ON A SCHOOL NIGHT to do homework that I thought was due today. It wasn't. So, that's cool. Not really. Why does everything have to happen to me? And as you can probably tell, I'm off to a great week! Kill me now.
And thank you, I swear online people can be so much nicer than real people. Just say if you don't like something, I don't get butt hurt over the internet. Sometimes.
I hate time zones. Why can't we all have the same time?
Emilee: Thank you!
Arubagirl0926: Thanks!
