Chapter 7: Ride.
2 weeks later.
Spencer sat on the rocking chair. The one Toby made her. She thinks about her life now and her life back then with Toby. There is a big difference. Her smile was never fake back then. She's graduating in 2 weeks. She was accepted in to U Penn. She is happy about that, but everything else has fallen apart.
The last time she saw Toby was the day after their dinner when he stopped by at her house. She figures that he's realized by now that she wants more time. How much more time can she ask him for, before he just gives up? She doesn't want him to give up. He can't give up.
She looks at her phone; the time is 8:11 on a Friday night. She could call Hanna and ask her to go shopping or call Aria and ask if she wants to watch a movie. But she has another thing in mind. Call Toby. And that is what she did.
Toby sat at a table in The Brew with Caleb. It had been 2 weeks since he had last seen Spencer, 2 long weeks. He had almost given up hope. But he knew he shouldn't, he couldn't. He got up to go to the bathroom, telling Caleb that he will be back.
When Toby got back to the table, Caleb was on his phone. Caleb handed him the phone, whispering, "It's Spencer." It's Spencer.
When Spencer called, Toby didn't answer, but Caleb did. Oh this is awkward.
"Hey Caleb, it's me Spencer. Is Toby around?"
"Yeah he is, hold on." Caleb said handing the phone over to Toby.
Spencer waited for a moment, and then heard Toby's voice.
"Hello." Toby said softly.
"Hi, are you busy?" Spencer asked.
"No, not really. Why?"
"Well, I wasn't doing anything and I wondered if you maybe wanted to do something?"
"Sure! Like what?"
"I'm graduating soon, so can we like drive around town. Like drive all night and not stop until day light. We can talk to."
"That would be great. Do you want me to pick you up right now?"
"That would be great."
Spencer hung up the phone and got ready for her ride with Toby.
After Toby got off the phone, he told Caleb he was meeting Spencer and ran out of The Brew. While running out, he ran into Aria, Emily and Hanna.
"What was he in a hurry for?" Aria asked Caleb when they went over to where he was sitting.
"All I know is Spencer called him. He asked if he should go pick her up now, she said yes. All he told me is he was meeting her." Caleb said just as confused as them.
"What?!" All three girls yelled at the same time.
"Oh my God, what is your guy's problem? I swear im going to go deaf!" Caleb said holding his ears.
"Sorry. But oh my gosh! They're doing something!" Hanna said excitedly.
"Yeah, so?" Caleb asked confused.
"It's a huge deal! Especially if Spencer called him first! They could be back together by sun down!"
"I wonder where there going?" Emily said.
"Probably somewhere super romantic, like Paris." Hanna said dreamily.
"Paris, Hanna, really?" Caleb said.
"What? It could happen."
When Toby got to Spencer's house, she was already waiting on her front porch. Toby smiled when he saw her, Spencer smiled back.
"Thanks for coming." Spencer said when she got into the truck.
"Thank you for asking me to come." Toby said starting to drive out of the driveway.
They didn't say anything for a little bit after that. It wasn't awkward though, luckily. They turned onto the main free way and started on there ride.
When they were passing a police car that had just pulled over an idiot who was driving to fast, Spencer turned toward Toby.
"So, I never did ask you, how was California?"
"It was okay. It wasn't as great as I thought it was going to be. Being that I had to leave a place I really loved."
"You know you didn't have to, right? Why did you think you had to?"
"I just couldn't stand seeing you every day knowing what I did to you. It would've just hurt to bad. And seeing you now, the pain is coming back to me. And it hurts, like hell."
"You know what hurt worse? You leaving. That's what hurt! I needed you after what happened! And you weren't there! I went crazy after you left. I needed you! Maybe I wouldn't have gone out every night and drank all the time. Maybe I wouldn't cry my self to sleep because of how much I freaking miss you!" Spencer cried.
"I'm sorry, okay! But it hurt it me to! Just because I was the one who left you, doesn't mean that I didn't hurt to! Seeing you that night hurt me knowing that I was the cause of your pain. It hurt worse knowing that I couldn't be there to fix it. I just wanted to fix you. But in the process I broke you."
"Listen Toby, you could've fixed me, you could've been everything I wanted, and you were, but you left. You left when you could've stayed. Your aunt was going to let you stay. If you would've stayed, everything would've been okay. You can say you love me, but if you love me, why'd you leave me?"
"I was going to, but then everything happened. And after that fight, after the hospital, I just couldn't."
"Still, you could've stayed." Spencer whispered, not knowing what to say.
They sat on the side of the free way quietly. Both shaken up over what just was said. What could they say next? Everything that was just said was what they've held in for a long time. It was bound to come out eventually.
"Um, im sorry for blowing up on you. I didn't think of how you felt." Spencer said quietly.
"I'm sorry to. You're the one who needed someone." Toby said just as quiet.
"You know what your problem is Toby? You don't think of your self enough. Yeah I was in a lot of pain, but you were to. You lost something just like I did."
"Spencer you know what our problem is? We care about each other way to much. Were arguing about who hurt more. We both lost something. How about we now try to fix something."
"Your right, we can try to repair what happened. It's worth a shot."
"If it's us, it's always worth a shot."
Caleb, Hanna, Aria and Emily sat in the kitchen at Hanna's. The girls were trying to get Caleb to spill the secret, they were failing.
"Does it have something to do with parents?" Aria said like she was on a game show.
"No." Caleb said annoyed.
"Does it have something to do with cheating?" Emily said brainstorming.
"Nope."
"Does it have something to do with Spencer and Toby?" Hanna said, thinking she solved it.
"Yes Hanna, of course it does!" Caleb said really annoyed.
"Hey, it was worth a shot." Hanna said quietly.
"I am not going to tell you! You guys aren't even close."
"Can you give us a hint?" Emily asked.
"No, but I can tell you that you will never guess it."
"Please, Caleb?" the three begging girls said at the same time.
"No! Ok, I will tell you one thing, Toby's aunt was going to let him stay in Rosewood. But he said he wanted to leave for California. That's not the best part of the secret, though, so Spencer's going to have to tell you that."
"Wait, Toby didn't have to leave? Was there a reason?" Emily asked confused.
"That I do not know. And im not telling you any more."
When Spencer and Toby had finally got back on the main road, they settled into a steady conversation. Neither of them bringing up there either conversation. They didn't have to, they were going to start over as friends and they could worry about their other problems later. Hopefully that later was a long time from now, because they were enjoying just being Spencer and Toby. Not 'Spoby", as Hanna liked to call them.
"Toby?" Spencer said quietly, when they were heading back to Rose wood.
"Yes Spencer?" Toby answered.
"When you mentioned the hospital, do you remember that night?"
"I think about it everyday."
"Me to."
"If I regret anything, it's defiantly that night."
"We don't have to talk about that right now."
