"How could you?" Toby's voice whispered through the mausoleum, as Spencer was finishing off writing his name on his Mother's grave. She scoffed, dropped the key, and turned around.
"You're one to talk. I should be asking that. How could you be the person who I feared so much, who we feared so much? Your such a hypocrite." Spencer said, she wanted to know why he did it. Why he caused so much pain to her.
"I was doing it to protect you."
"I can't believe you, because you could've protected me in another way."
"There was no other way. You kept on lying to me, there was no other way."
"Really, Toby. Because I was trying to protect you. I couldn't get you killed, like Ali or Maya. I should've been protecting myself when the love of my life turned out to be my stalker."
"I was doing it to protect you."
"Then why didn't you come out, and say it in the forest yesterday."
"I was scared."
"Oh, you're saying you were scared. I should be the one who is scared. We should be the ones who are scared. We are the ones being stalked by people we thought we knew. But that's not the story, and I don't know if I can ever forgive you for this."
"You have no idea what red coat can do, Spencer."
"I have a pretty good idea of it Toby. I don't know how long she's been around, but I'm guessing its been from the start. I know what she is capable of Toby. She can scare four teenage girls shitless."
"You want answers, I'll give them to you."
"Why did you have to do this? I don't know what to believe the Pretending not to love you was the hardest thing I've ever done or How long have you known. Why did you have to do it."
"I wanted to protect you."
"I need more of a damn explanation. I can't believe you when you say I wanted to protect you, when four days ago you were in my kitchen, wearing that black hoodie, searching for the key you dropped in front of Hanna at the mannequin store. You could've told me you loved me then and there, and we would still be okay."
"I did it because I knew you needed protecting, you know everything. Everything is right in front of you, and they know that. They are scared you will figure everything out, because they know you are smart enough. I have been trying to not get you killed."
"Then why didn't you just tell me you were –A. We could've gone through this damn mess together."
"Because –A is always watching."
"I know that Toby, but you could've shut the blinds, or tried to do something to block the sound out."
"I couldn't they've got everything hooked."
"What do you mean by everything."
"They've got all their houses, bedrooms, basically everything hooked."
"That's how they know everything, but how do they know our secrets."
"Ali's diary." I flinched and remembered the memory of us coming out the church when Ali started to write in her diary she said we were going to need it.
"Where is Ali's diary, it's got all the answers, we need."
"It's burned, they're all burned."
"Was is you who broke into my house."
"Someone broke into your house."
"I don't think it's that big of a surprise. As you said you know what she can do, what they can do. Ezra and Caleb pushed him down the stairs, but he was gone as soon as he came. He left a USB stick which we've been looking at, and one of the A phone's that Caleb has yet to crack." Spencer can read Toby more than anyone else, and she knew that he knew who it was. "Toby. I know that you know who it was. Please tell me, please." Toby stuffed his hands in his pocket, and looked at the ground.
"I think we both know. Who's that weak, and who had dropped a phone before."
"Lucas." He nodded. "Toby." He looked up. "Why did you say don't lie, when you were keeping the biggest lie of all. You always got really pissed at me for not telling you stuff, which I should've of told you, but you're A and I think I should've known that."
"I didn't want to ruin what we had. I have no idea how you got the Radley pass."
"Really, because I was in you're loft, and I found it in your drawer. It didn't seem like you cared if I found out."
"It was supposed to be under my mattress." There was a silence between them.
"Did you drug Emily that night."
"Which night, there's more than one."
"I think you know which night."
"No I didn't."
"Did you dig up Ali's body."
"Yeah."
"And you framed your drunk best friend."
"I didn't say I was happy about it, they said if it wasn't me they would hurt her. I couldn't let that happen."
"You didn't have to frame her."
"That was red coat."
"Did you sneak into my house, and call her."
"No."
"Then who did?"
"Mona."
"I had Mona in my house." He simply nodded, like it was no big deal. "Did you kill Garret?" He shook his head. "Give me some answers, I don't know everything."
"You do, Spencer. Look at the USB every folder."
"We'll get Caleb to look at it."
"No."
"Why not? There are montages of us at our worst moments, of the moments where we've wanted to kill ourselves. We know how she was attempted to be murdered."
"What do you mean attempted to be murdered."
"Wait. You didn't know. Alison didn't die, she dug herself out." He looked far away. "Did you film her being killed? Where you in my bedroom filming her being buried alive." He still looked desperate. "You did didn't you." He shook his head.
"I know who was filming."
"Who."
"Wren." Why of all people would it be Wren? Something clicked in her brain. Was he the beach hottie?
"Is he the beach hottie." Toby nodded his head. "How long have you been on the A team?"
"Since I kissed you at the motel." It felt like someone had stabbed Spencer in the chest, repeatedly. Their memories were tainted with lies. After all this time, after everything he was her stalker, since the beginning. "I knew something was up between Jenna and you girls. First of all I thought it was because of The Jenna Thing, but I checked her A phone. I saw some of the texts." She cut him off.
"What texts did you see?"
"Some of all of yours." Spencer swallowed, because at that moment she knew that he knew everything. All of their secrets which he shouldn't know.
"If you were –A why did you threaten our relationship. All of our relationships."
"That wasn't me. I knew what they were doing, and I had to play along like I didn't know anything, but I did, and I know I should've told you, that I know everything, but I was too afraid of losing you."
"Why did you have to get Jason involved."
"They would've killed him, and I know you can't lose any more people."
"Why couldn't you have just asked me about it, saying you know what's going on. If you knew what was going on I would've told you. We wouldn't be in this mess. I wouldn't be thinking that you used me?"
"I thought the best way to stop it was to infiltrate it, and try to stop it from the inside out. But, then I knew it wasn't because I learned that I couldn't have you."
"Where you the one who saved Emily, with that phone call."
"Yeah, and I saved you from the bell tower."
"I should be going." Spencer turned to leave, but toby spun her around by the arm. There faces where inches apart, and as Toby leaned forward, Spencer pulled away. "This isn't the movies, Toby. I won't come running up to you, and I won't say I love you. This is real life, where people walk away. I'm not saying that this. That us, couldn't work, but I'm saying that I don't think we could ever be as comfortable as we were. And that kills me so much. I just need time to think, about my options, about our options." She turned to leave, not bothering to pick up the key.
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry won't take back what you did."
