Spencer POV
As Toby lifted the blindfold from my eyes and wrapped his arms around my waist, I looked up and was faced with an array of neon lights covering the biggest ferris wheel I had ever seen.
"Toby" I gasped turning to face him. "You like?" He smiled.
I leaned in towards him and pressed my lips to his, running my fingers through his hair. I pulled back running
out of breath. "Does that answer your question?" He bit his lip, smitten.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the ferris wheel.
As we were ushered to a carriage and locked in, I grabbed Toby's hand suddenly nervous. I could feel the sweat on my hands starting to cover Toby's hand. I pulled my hand away and rubbed them on my jeans.
Toby placed his hand on my thigh, "You okay Spence?".
"Yeah, I'm just nervous." He kissed my hair and rubbed my back.
The wheel started to move as everyone else piled into their own carriages. I was left speechless at the view, over the whole of Philly and Rosewood in the distance.
As we reached the top of the wheel for the second time, the wheel stopped moving and I immediately
clutched to Toby, nuzzling my face in his neck.
He stroked the back of my head, "Spence, they're just stopping to give everyone a good look at the view."
I sat back my hand still gripped firmly on his thigh.
"Spence, I brought you here tonight because this is the last place I came with my mom just us two." I looked at him with desperation, I knew how much he missed his mother.
"She took me on this ferris wheel and gave me this" He smiled pulling a rectangular blue box out of his back pocket, placing it in my hand and opening it, revealing a thin, silver chained necklace with a small heart and a small diamond encrusted in the centre, "She told me that no matter what happened that she loved me and
to give it to the one who despite our differences, you love with all of your heart. She told me that, that kind of love is rare but it is beautiful and whoever you decide to give it to is the luckiest girl in the world."
My heart began to race, more than it usually did in Toby's presence.
I was left speechless for the third time that night, I cupped his face and looked deep into his tahitian blue eyes. "Toby" I rubbed his cheeks "I love you so much, I know I say it all the time but it's only because I do and I want you to know that."
His piercing blue eyes stared back at me and our lips met, his arms enveloping me. I pressed up against him and hitched one of legs on his side. We both laughed as the carriage shook. We flinched away as we both felt the slight kicking in my stomach.
"Did you just feel that?" I questioned.
"Yeah" He said smiling from ear to ear.
I felt the kicking within me again, immediately reaching for Toby's hand and placing it on the side of my stomach.
We smiled and then pressed our foreheads to one another, feeling our baby inside of me.
Toby POV
My expectations of how tonight was going to go had been high but the reality had been even higher.
We sat at a small pop up restaurant at the carnival where a woman sang with her acoustic guitar for dinner. For dinner we had settled on a kebab each and Spencer had declared that after she had wanted a pretzel or fairy floss, not being able to decide on what pleased her more.
As we both finished dinner we sat and listened to the music, the woman - Clare Bowditch - played on the small stage.
"This is a song for those in love and about how happy they make you."
I looked at Spencer adoringly, intertwining my fingers with hers. I listened to her words...
"I never said that I was easy
Always pushing for the best
Well that's just because i believe
I believe in you baby
And this i must confess
You make me happy
You make me happy
You shouldn't be alone
Baby come on home
And make me happy"
It perfectly described the two of us and what we had been through but how happy we made each other.
Our happiness was short lived as our phones rang at the same time, exchanging wary glances, we checked them.
Isnt that sweet, a happy couple, niave to the outside world and who's watching them.
- A
I looked around frantically, searching for the face that I used to assume was watching us, Mona, only to be reminded that she was a target too. Seeing no familiar faces, I grabbed Spencers's hand and headed towards the truck.
Spencer's eyes were filling with tears, I stopped and wrapped her in my arms.
"Spence, we know how this game works. They get us all hyped up and worried over nothing, I promise you that I will not allow anything to happen to either of you." I promised her, pulling the hair out of her eyes.
"I know, I just worry about you"
"You dont have to worry about me, I know how they work and I promise you that the three of us will be okay."
The drive home was tense, every car that passed, Spencer would look to see who was driving just to make sure no one that was A material was lurking.
Deciding against an angsty trip home, I turned on the radio, Fix You by Coldplay was starting. A favourite of both of ours. Lightening the mood I started singing at the tops of my lungs.
I could see Spencer out of the corner of my eye, trying not to laugh.
"Come on Spence, lighten up. It's one of your favourite's"
"And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth." She joined in with me.
"Lights will guide you home, And ignite your bones, And I will try to fix you" We both sang at the top of our lungs.
We turned onto the highway, that would eventually take us straight to Rosewood.
"Toby, look out!" Spencer screamed, as a trucks headlights headed for my side of the car.
I glanced at Spencer her eyes wary as I heard glass shatter and a scream. I felt my body pulled forward by the seatbelt, pieces of shattering glass pierce my arms and stomach, my head hit hard against the sterring wheel and my legs crunch under the dashboard. The last thing I heard was Spencer scream my name again as everything turned black.
Disclaimer: I do not own the song You Make Me Happy by Clare Bowditch - although I wish I did.
Will update soon - I need at least 5 reviews!
