A/N- The kiss chapter guys :) Read and review. Like you always do.

"Our friend?"

It was only a second after the words came out of her mouth that she saw him, leaning against the truck. And smiling. Her feet seemed to move towards him as though pulled by some magnetic force that she would never completely understand.

As she moved towards him nothing else mattered. It didn't matter that Mona was A. It didn't matter that her sister might have killed Alison. It didn't matter that after all this time her life might finally be normal again. All that mattered was that Toby Cavanaugh was standing in front of her, and that he was smiling.

Their footsteps stopped at the same time as their heartbeats. And for a second the world was completely still.

"Pretending not to love you was the hardest thing I've ever done."

His words hit her like an iceberg, and for a second she could feel everything. Every split in her soul. Every tear in her past. Every crack in her heart. It was a surge of pain like she had never felt before; a combination of longing, of questions, of hatred, of jealous, of anger, of hope.

She wanted to slap him, to make him feel the pain that she was feeling at that moment. But as she went to do just that her hand collided not with his face, but with his hand as he held her at bay. And for a second they stayed like that. Standing on the edge. So close. But not yet there. For a second the words unspoken between them seemed to matter. For a second every hateful look, and word seemed to resonated in the small space between them, creating a barrier that seemed impossible to pass.

And then that space was gone.

And with it everything else seemed to disappear. Everything but them. Everything but Spencer and Toby. Everything but a boy and a girl who had forgotten what love felt like.

And then he kissed her.

And she remembered.
