"I didn't get in. Oh my god. I didn't get in." Spencer whispered to herself, and she shut her eyes. Her acceptance letter to Upenn just got delivered, she read it, and she didn't get in. She didn't get in. The first Hastings not to get in.
"Spencer. You got your letter." Veronica exclaimed, not noticing her daughter's state.
"Uh-huh." Veronica smiled, and pulled out some champagne, with three glasses. "Three. Dad's not here is he?"
"No, Melissa is." Spencer held in a groan, and Mellissa came prancing into the kitchen.
"I'll see you there, Spence." Mellissa said with a wink.
"I didn't get in." Spencer said, standing up from the bar stool, downing the champagne in one.
"You're joking, Spence. Of course you got in." Veronica said.
"I didn't."
"Stop yanking our hair, sis." Melissa said, and Spencer shook her head.
"I didn't get in. I'm telling the truth. I'm not joking." Veronica read the letter, and let out a heavy sigh.
"First Hastings not to go to Upenn. What a disappointment Spencer." Veronica shouted at her daughter.
…
Spencer knocked on her boyfriend's door, duffel and school bag in hand. Her Mum had kicked her out. He answered smiling, but as soon as he saw Spencer's tear streaked face he pulled her in for a hug. She dropped her bags, and fell into her boyfriend's arms, and started to sob.
…
"What happened?" Toby asked his girlfriend, after her episode. They were settled on the couch, Spencer leaning into Toby's side.
"I didn't get into Upenn." Spencer whispered, still in shock.
"Oh Spence," he whispered, pulling her onto his lap, and rubbing her back. She shook her head, and put her hand up to her mouth.
"That's not it."
"What else?"
"Mum kicked me out, and I have nowhere to stay, and I'm scared." Spencer replied, and started sobbing. "I don't know what to do, Tobes, and I'm really scared."
"Hey, Spencer. You can live with me, it will be a blast." He said, and she shook her head.
"I don't want to intrude."
"You won't intrude Spencer. It'll be fun, watching movies all weekend, and eating junk food." Spencer sniffled, and looked up to Toby's eyes.
"Really?" She whispered.
"Really." He whispered back, resting his forehead against hers.
"I love you." Spencer said, wrapping her arms around his neck, and hugging him tight. He smiled.
"I love you too, Spence."
…
"Hey Spence." Hanna greeted.
"Hey guys." Spencer replied.
"Something you want to tell us?" Aria queried.
"I didn't get into Upenn." A chorus of awws and I'm sorrys and its okay sounded from them. "Yeah, but that's not the worst part."
"What's the worst part?" Caleb asked, concerned for his best friend.
"I got kicked out." Offers from the three girls showed up. "I'm staying at Toby's." On reflex, Caleb clapped a hand over Hanna's mouth. They laughed at the couple.
…
Caleb was leaning against the pillar, waiting for Hanna. Today was the eleventh of May aka their anniversary, and Caleb has something special planned. Hanna walked down the stairs with Ali, Ali had approached her asking about Caleb for some odd reason.
"Hey beautiful." Caleb said, and Hanna blushed, while Ali winked at him, but he didn't see, all his attention turned to his beautiful girlfriend. Hanna grabbed him by the t-shirt, and slipped her tongue into his mouth, he wrapped his arms around her waist and slipped his tongue into her mouth.
"Save it for tonight." Spencer whispered in Hanna's ear, and Hanna pulled away embarrassed.
"Hey babe. Happy anniversary." Hanna said, flinging her arms around Caleb's neck.
"Happy one year anniversary to you too." Caleb said, smiling, and Alison awkwardly coughed behind them. Hanna turned her head, puckering her slightly swollen lips.
"Yeah." Hanna replied, really uninterested. All she wanted to do was strip off, and spend the rest of the day with Caleb in bed.
"You said you'd come to mine." Alison said, already knowing what the answer would be. Today was just not her day.
"Oh, did I?" Alison nodded. "Rain check." Before Alison could even give an answer Hanna had already re-attached her lips to Caleb's, pulled away, and she pranced away with Caleb hugging her back from behind. God, he's hot, Ali thought to herself, and if she could kick herself she would, she had a crush on Hanna's boyfriend, as well as Spencer's boyfriend. Well, Toby had always been her crush. But now she had two crushed, and she knew she couldn't do anything to get them. Spencer was now living with Toby, and Caleb looked at Hanna and only Hanna. Ali wished she would find someone as faithful.
But Karma's a bitch, and she's got a lot heading her way, as if she hadn't had enough.
…
Hanna laughed, and shoved her boyfriend playfully in the shoulder. "Stop it." They were lying in bed, naked, and enjoying their one year anniversary. Caleb had cooked her a romantic dinner, and then they had sex a few times. But only a few times.
"What am I doing?" Caleb asked, smiling.
"I love your smile." Hanna whispered, rolling on her stomach, and gently caressing a finger over his cheek. He chuckled, and rolled onto his stomach as well. "But I love you even more." She whispered in a voice she knew drove him crazy.
"Babe, now you need to stop." He whispered back, kissing her forehead gently. She sighed, and moved closer to him.
"Can we stay like this?"
"How long?"
"Forever."
"Always." He replied, and kissed her lips, and it resulted into a lot more.
…
"Toby! At least let me pay." Spencer insisted.
"Nope. No no no no." Toby singsonged.
"Toby please." He rolled his eyes, and pressed his lips to her neck.
"You can always pay me another way." He whispered.
…
"I'm sorry, but that's not happening." Ezra shouted into the black phone.
"Ezra? If you leave her alone, I will give you the money you need." Dianne said, trying to reason with him. She would bail him out of jail, give him an allowance ever month enough to survive, if he would stay away from Aria.
"No. I'm sorry. I'm not doing it. I love her with my life, and nothing or no one will make me give her up."
