Hey loves! Okay, since the anticipation is clearly killing you and I don't want to be the cause of your deaths, I decided to update today. I have some very, very good news: I found out that I can write my stories on the Note App and then copy it and go on FF on Safari and then edit it then upload it and then update all on my iPod! So...I'll be updating A LOT more so you all don't die from the mystery. I know some of you are wondering why Caleb is doing this BUT that won't be revealed until a few more chapters (I know I'm mean). And a little treat from me to you guys, I'm going to do another flashback and this chapter will be a really fun one because (drum roll please...) there's Spoby in this chapter! Finally! I had a great time writing it so it's going to be a happy-ish chapter. So, I present you all a new chapter of IYECBTU!


Chapter 11: Now That Was Real

"No...no...no...ugh, no! Nothing is telling us anything! Hanna! Put that freaking magazine down or I'll chop off your hair while you're sleeping!" Aria groaned.

"There has to be something in here..." Emily mumbled while looking through a drawer.

"Guys...we should go. We're going to get caught. Besides, this is a felony for God's sake!" Toby hissed looking out the window.

"This ain't a felony Toby, we're simply looking for Avalon's medical record," Aria said looking through the cabinets.

"Ooh...I think I just found my twin Brittany!" Hanna giggled holding up a magazine.

Toby looked wide-eyed at it and took it out of her hands. "She's...pretty hot."

Emily, Aria, and Hanna looked at him.

"I mean...she's hideous," he said.

Another look.

"Pretty?"

"Just shut up and look for something! We need to see Ava's medical records!" Emily said.

"Okay, okay," he said and looked around the room.

Toby, Aria, Hanna, and Emily had driven all the way to Philly to the hospital where Avalon's medical records were. They needed to see if someone was telling lies to Avalon and to see if one of the doctors has been lying to them. Now, here they were in the in the doctor's office, looking for records. So far, they had nothing.

Suddenly, they heard voices coming from the hallway.

"Hide!" Aria said and they went behind furniture.

"Toby! I can see you!" Hanna hissed.

Toby groaned and went behind the couch and laid down.

"I can see your feet," Emily whispered.

Toby cursed under his breath and curled up into a ball. "Sometimes, being tall isn't fun."

"Tell me about it because being small doesn't help either," Aria said.

He chuckled. "Shhh! Someone's coming!"

They stayed quiet as they heard the door open and then they heard whistling. It was only the janitor. It took him eight minutes to leave the room before everyone came out from hiding.

"My back hurts now," Toby whined.

"No one cares, now let's find-"

"Found it," Emily said holding up a folder.

They rushed towards her and she opened it. She scanned it before closing it.

"So?" they all asked.

"It doesn't say anything about Avalon having amnesia," she said.

"I knew it, but who could be doing this?" Hanna asked.

"It could be anyone of us," Aria said looking at Hanna and Emily.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Before we jump into suspects we need to check in on Avalon," Toby said.

"Guys, I think I have an idea," Aria said.

"What?" they asked.

"We should follow Avalon wherever she goes. Spencer let's her go wherever she wants and now we should see where she's going and follow her there," she explained.

"And then we'll know who's doing this," Hanna said.

"Yeah and why," Toby said.

"Let's just put this back and leave. I don't want to get in trouble. I have kids you know," Hanna said.

"Yeah, let's go," Aria said.

Emily out the folder back and they all snuck out of the office and out of the hospital. They drove back to Rosewood, unaware of the figure that followed them there.


Spencer woke up to the smell of coffee. She went into full bloodhound mode and trotted downstairs to the strong aroma. She saw Toby pouring coffee and came up next to him. They had warmed up to each other and were treating each other like friends again.

"Here you go," Toby said handing her the cup full of coffee.

"Thanks," she said and took a sip. She widened her eyes in delight and smiled at him. "This shit is good."

Toby chuckled. "I made it extra strong. Just the way you always liked it."

Spencer felt touched that Toby remembered how she liked her coffee. He sure didn't forget a few things about her.

"Hey...um, are you free today?" she asked.

"Yeah, why?" he asked while making pancakes.

"I was wondering if you could go to the beach with me today? It's nice weather outside and I think we both need a break," she said.

Toby looked at her and tapped his chin dimple. "I don't know Spence..."

"Please Toby? It'll be fun! Pretty please with a yummy cherry on top?" she begged doing her puppy dog face that resembled Avalon's.

"Ava says that line a lot," he said.

"Yeah, I picked it up from her. So...can we?" she asked.

"What about Wren?" he asked.

"We were both going to go but he was called in for work today and I was really excited about going since I never have time to go to the beach," she explained.

Toby hesitated. "Fine, but you're paying for my ice cream."

"Deal! Thank you!" she said and went upstairs to get ready.

Toby rolled his eyes playfully and finished his pancakes and ate them quickly before going to his room to get himself ready.

Five minutes later...

"Are you ready?" Spencer asked.

"Yeah, you?" Toby asked.

"Yeah, let's do this thing," she said and they marched out of the loft and into Toby's truck.

As they started to drive to the beach, Spencer looked around the truck. She still couldn't believe he kept it after all these years.

"Why did you keep it?" she asked.

"You should figure that out by the end of the day, if you can't, then I'll tell you on the way back," he said.

"Okay," she said.

After a half hour, they arrived at the beach. It wasn't crowed today, but it still had people. They got out of the truck and walked over to the sand. Once they found an empty spot, they set up their chairs and umbrellas before sitting down and watching the waves.

Spencer smiled and thought of how Toby's eyes matched the ocean's color. She looked at him and saw that he had his eyes closed. She giggled and relaxed.

When she opened her eyes a few minutes later, she saw that Toby was gone, but then she saw him coming out of the water...shirtless. Oh...crap. She tried not to look at him, but she couldn't help but admire his toned chest, biceps, and abs. He had gotten more fit than the last time she saw him. Even Wren didn't have a body like that. She was taken out of her thoughts when she heard him call her name.

"Spencer! Come on! The water's great!" he called.

"I'm good!" she called back.

"Please? Pretty please with a yummy cherry on top?" he said, mimicking her puppy dog face.

"Fine!" she said and got up and took of her white sundress, revealing her white bikini.

Toby gulped as he scanned her. Even after all these years and though he was still furious with her, he still thought she was the most gorgeous woman he had ever laid eyes on. She ran to him and stood in front of him.

"Okay, what now?" she asked.

"Now...this!" he said and threw her over his shoulder and walked into the water.

"Toby Cavanaugh! You put me down right now or I will murder you in your sleep! Toby! Help!" she cried hitting his back with her fists.

He shrugged and set her down in the water. She screamed as the cold liquid came into contact with her warm skin.

"It's cold!" she whined and swam to him.

She jumped on him and wrapped her legs around his waist and stayed away from the water. When she was about to look over his shoulder, she bumped cheeks with him. Toby gulped when their lips were only a few centimeters apart. They slowly leaned in and soon they felt their lips brush against each other before Toby pulled away.

"Spencer...we can't. You're engaged and I don't want to be the one who ends up ruining your engagement when your wedding is almost a month and a half away," he said.

She nodded. "Yeah, sorry."

"It's okay," he said and carried her back to the sand.

They spent the rest of the day there and went to go get ice cream at some point. Spencer had kept her deal and bought Toby his chocolate ice cream since supposedly he was "Chocolate Boy" and had to have chocolate ice cream. They walked around the beach together laughing and talking.

"Hey, let's take a picture," Spencer said.

"Um, sure," Toby said.

Spencer took out her phone and put on the camera. They posed for a picture and she took it.

"There its saved," she said smiling as she looked at the picture. She remembered one hilarious but adorable memory when she went to the beach with Toby and the gang.

"Ahhh...hello afternoon breeze," Aria sighed as she spread out her arms and lifted her face up to the sun.

"What breeze? It's like one hundred degrees out here!" Hanna said.

"You just need to relax," Aria breathed.

"Hippie," Hanna mumbled.

"Hey!" Aria said and tackled Hanna to the ground.

"Help! I'm being assassinated by a tiny munchkin!" Hanna cried making the others laugh.

"At least I'm not a shopaholic!" Aria teased.

"At least I'm not tiny!" Hanna teased back.

"At least we're not trying to seduce each other," Caleb song songed.

Everyone glared at him. "You're disgusting."

The gang were all hanging out at the beach for summer break. This was also two months before everything began. Everyone had their significant other with them. More like a quadruple date.

Spencer was nestled in Toby's arms on a beach chair watching the others laugh. It was hot out so they all set up umbrellas above their chairs. Toby rubbed his face into her hair causing her to relax even more.

"I love being here with the people I love," Spencer said.

"I love that there are people who accept me into society and don't judge me," Toby said.

"Well, people who don't are assholes because you're amazing," she commented looking at him.

He smiled. "You're cute in a bikini."

"You're cute...no hot when you're shirtless."

Ezra and Aria came and sat down in the chair next to them. Aria mimicked Spencer and sat on Ezra's lap.

"Copycat," Spencer teased.

"Hey, it's a free country," Aria said.

"Says who?" she asked.

"The government," she said.

"Girls, girls...no time for political fighting," Ezra teased causing Toby to laugh.

"You're mean," Aria said pouting.

"No, I'm wonderful," Ezra said and pecked her lips.

"Hey! Guys! Come on, we're going to throw the girls into the water!" Caleb called.

"This is what we were born for. Please forgive us girls," Toby said as he and Ezra picked the girls up bridal-style and carried them towards the water.

"No...Ezra...Toby...don't you fucking dare throw us," Aria warned.

"Hmm...too bad," Toby said as they neared the ocean.

Spencer clung onto to him tightly as they started to swing them. They girls screamed as they were thrown but only Aria flew into the water. She resurfaced and laughed at the sight before her.

Toby was trying to throw Spencer in but she was clinging onto him, shrieking for dear life. Her legs kept wrapping around his waist every time he pried them off and her arms never let go of his torso.

"Spencer...Spencer...let go...no! Spence! Let. Go." Toby said unable to wipe off the grin on his face.

"NO! YOU ARE NOT THROWING ME IN! I WILL CLING TO YOU LIKE A BABY BABOON AND NEVER LET GO!" Spencer shrieked.

Hanna, Caleb, Ezra, Emily, and Samara were all on the ground laughing. To them, Spencer looked like a dog who didn't want to take a bath and kept finding a way to stop their owner from putting them in.

"Spencer! It's not that bad! C'mon!" Aria said laughing.

"ARE YOU CRAZY? I WILL DIE BECAUSE THERE COULD BE SHARKS, JELLYFISH, OR STINGRAYS! SOMEONE HELP!" Spencer cried.

Toby finally gave in and walked Spencer away from to the water. Spencer relaxed as they started to walk towards the beach chairs again. Toby, however, threw the gang a wink over his shoulder. They knew what he was going to do.

Toby set Spencer down but then he threw her over his shoulder and ran to the water again and threw her into an oncoming wave. She screamed as her body was devoured by the water.

Everyone laughed and clapped while Toby bowed. But they stopped when Spencer didn't resurface.

"Spencer? This isn't funny! Spence?" Aria called.

No answer.

"Oh God," Toby mumbled and dove into the water.

"Spencer? Spencer!" Toby cried.

"Toby what did you do?" Hanna yelled.

"I don't know! SPENCER!" he yelled.

Spencer, however, was coming out of the water on the other side of the beach. She coughed and looked around. She saw the gang far away and couldn't believe how far the wave had carried her. She started to walk when she encountered a little boy on the way. He was crying and calling for his mom. She walked towards him and kneeled down to his height.

"Hey, are you lost?" she asked.

He nodded. "I-I can't f-find my m-mommy."

"Here, I'll help you find her," she said and took his hand.

They walked back to the gang who were tear stained now. Toby was in the water calling for her. Spencer waved and yelled.

"Guys! I'm over here!"

They looked in her direction and ran to her. Toby sprinted as fast as he could and passed Emily and hugged Spencer.

"What the hell Spence? We wet worried-"

"Toby, calm down and help me find this little boy's mom," Spencer hissed.

Toby looked down at the brown-eyed boy and smiled. "Here, let's go find your mom."

Spencer watched as Toby and the little boy talked and laughed as they searched for his mom. Toby looked happy and relaxed around kids. The little boy wasn't crying anymore and he seemed happy as well. This was a side of Toby that Spencer hadn't seen before.

After two hours, they found his mom who ended up at the dock and went to look for him. She thanked them and the boy hugged Toby and Spencer. Spencer loved that day because she saw a side of Toby she had never seen before. He had a soft spot for kids that he didn't know. He treated them as if they were his own and didn't get mad if they did something wrong. That's a day she knew he would be a great father. She loved him even more that day.

Toby smiled and grabbed her hand and they walked back to their things and packed up. They went back to the truck and placed their belongings in the back before hopping in the front. It was dark outside and on their way back, Toby spoke up.

"Did you figure out why I kept this truck for all these years?"

Spencer shook her head. "Why?"

"Because I didn't want to give away something that held so many good memories. It's like a photo album. You take a picture and save it. But in this case, you make memories and this truck saves it. A decillion dollars wouldn't be enough to sell this baby," he explained.

Spencer looked at him. "What kind of memories?"

He sighed. "A lot."

"Name three," she said.

"Right now, there's only one that I could think of," he said looking at her.

She smiled and took his hand in hers. She squeezed it tightly and he smiled too. They held hands on the way back, not even letting go for a second.

Meanwhile With The Girls...

"Do you see her?" Hanna asked.

"No, we barely got here," Emily said.

"And Han, Avalon can't drive, she's barely fourteen and she's not Bella Vampire Swan," Aria said.

The girls were across the street from The Brew since Toby put a tracker on Avalon's phone and connected it to their phones. They heard Avalon talking to someone and they told her to come to The Brew at nine. Now here they were, waiting for them.

"But she does field hockey, she could move faster," Hanna said crossing her arms.

"Well-"

"There she is! Duck!" Emily hissed.

They all ducked and saw Avalon walk to the front of The Brew. A tall figure came into sight, but they couldn't see who it was. Hanna could've sworn she recognized that figure anywhere but she couldn't see well enough. Emily rolled down her window so they could hear their conversation.

"...I can't believe we're living in his loft. It's disgusting," they heard Avalon say.

"Tell me about it," they heard a deep voice say.

"Okay, when do I get more information about this so called plan of yours?" Avalon asked.

"Saturday night. Your aunt, mom, and that creepy Toby guy might be out so I'll see you then, okay?" he said.

"Okay, bye Uncle..." she said but the girls couldn't here his name.

"Bye Ava," he said and disappeared into the night.

Avalon looked around and ran back home. Aria, Emily, and Hanna were shocked. The person who is doing this was between three people:

Ezra, Caleb, or Jason. Though the answer was right in the conversation.


"Wren...that tickles," said a female voice.

"Oh really...well then," Wren whispered and nibbled on her ear.

"Stop!" she shrieked and pushed him away playfully.

Wren laughed and scanned her naked body. "Vanessa, you're so...beautiful."

The blonde blushed and pushed him back onto the covers. "Well, you're not so bad looking yourself."

Wren grabbed her hips as she straddled him chuckling. "But you're gorgeous. I mean it."

"What about your fiancé?" she asked.

"Spencer? She doesn't have to know about this or what I said...right?" he asked.

"Right. She should be grateful to have a handsome man like you," she said pecking his lips.

She got off of him and covered her body with the duvet. Vanessa was a twenty-two-year-old who was still in college. She was smart, but not Spencer smart. She had long blonde hair and green eyes. Wren had met her when he went out for coffee and they had been seeing each other ever since.

Wren knew how Spencer would get if she found out about his little fling with this beautiful girl but she never caught on. Though, he thought Spencer would be furious, but in reality? She would be happy to end it with him.

Back At The Loft...

"You will never believe what kinds of crap went down at that time," Spencer slurred.

"Oh really? Well then," Toby said.

"Yeah. It was awesome! I grabbed her hair and yanked it off," she said.

Toby chuckled. "Good to know."

"Hey...you're pretty cute," she said walking to him.

"You are too, now how about we head upstairs and get you to bed," he said taking her upstairs.

"Wow. That's not a common line when men want to seduce ladies," she said.

Toby and Spencer were at the loft and Spencer was beyond drunk. They had stopped by a bar and grabbed a few drinks...well, Spencer said she had more than she was supposed to have. Toby was sober and drove them back to the loft, not even noticing Avalon wasn't there.

"I'm not trying to seduce you," Toby said and led her over to her bed.

"Doesn't convince me," she said and pushed him back onto it.

"Spencer...what are you-" before Toby could finish, Spencer's lips came crashing down onto his.

He kissed her back, missing the feel of her lips against his. She climbed on top of him and ran her hands through his hair. Toby didn't know what was going on or how to stop. He placed his hands on her hips as he turned them over so that he was hovering above her. Their kissing became desperate and fierce. Not wanting to separate for one second as if they wouldn't connect again.

Spencer lifted up his shirt and he helped by lifting up his arms and throwing it across the room. She glided her hands around his torso and his back while he helped her out of her sundress. Now with only a bikini, jeans, and boxers protecting them Toby knew they had to stop but he knew this would be the only time to be with her.

Stop...no this is wrong...stop! He mentally told himself.

She took out his belt through the loops and helped him out of his jeans. Three barriers left. Toby was so lost in thought that he hadn't even realized Spencer was now naked beneath him once he opened his eyes. One barrier left. He felt her hands pulling down his boxers and then he knew they couldn't.

He pulled away and sat up and put his head in his hands. Spencer was confused and placed her hand on his back he looked at her with tears in his eyes.

"What's wrong Toby?" she asked.

He sniffled. "It's just...this isn't right. You're engaged and I'm not going to take advantage of you while you're in this state."

"I thought you liked me," she said.

"To be honest, I do Spence, a lot. But it hurts to think that I can never have you in...this way ever again," he explained.

Spencer felt a pang of guilt in her chest. In total honesty, she wasn't drunk. She pretended to be to see if Toby was like Wren in anyway after all these years. Turns out, he's still the same Toby she knew. She wanted him too in that way but he was right...she was engaged.

"I'm sorry," she whispered and covered herself with the sheets.

"Don't be, it's my fault. I should've stopped earlier-" Spencer interrupted him with a kiss.

He kissed her back but was still shocked.

"That was from the sober Spencer," she said smiling.
