Chapter 12 -

When I got home from Toby's Juvie camp. I called Mike when I got up to my room and said that I was back, it was about 4pm, he said that he was just coming out of his house now. I opened my door and ran across the street to him and hugged him, I just cried into his shoulder, he walked back with me and sat me down on the couch and went and grabbed me a cup of hot chocolate.

He sat down with me and asked if I was okay. I wasn't but I was glad that someone other than Toby cared about how I felt in all of this. Toby was there for me and this time I couldn't be there for him. I looked up at Mike and smiled. I put my head in his lap and fell asleep on him, I could feel him carrying my upstairs and I apparently started smiling in my sleep again.

When I woke up Mike was sat on my bed watching a film. He smiled at me when I woke up. I looked at my phone and it was 7pm, I asked Mike if he had eaten. Since he said no, so we ordered a pizza.

After we ate, Mike and I watched a film downstairs. When the film had finished Mike and I went upstairs got changed. And then sat in bed for a while watching a film on my laptop and then we fell asleep quite late for us. It was about 12am when we finally got to sleep.

**THE NEXT MORNING**

Mike woke me up at 7 and said that my dad had gone to work and that Jenna and my step - mom were downstairs eating. I took a shower and got ready. I drove to school today, Mike and I had took separate cars, just in case I had a call or something from my dad about Toby. Mike walked me to my locker and carried my books to class.

We saw the girls as we were leaving class, they asked me to meet at our table at lunch but I wasn't too sure if I would still be here.

I was. We met and Mike had practice so it wasn't like I was leaving him or anything. The girls had received more A texts since the memorial. I hadn't. Maybe A was aching off me and focusing on the others.

I got home and my dad was sat in the living room. He told me to go into the dining room. Toby was sat there...

They had let him out on bail. And for some reason Veronica Hastings, Spencer's mother, was going to be his lawyer for this trial. I hugged him. He was home.

Mike and I decided to stick with Toby when he eventually came back to school. He definitely needed us.

Mike had rang me and offered to stay the night, but I said that it would be better if I just had a family night. He understood. I still felt bad though, he only wanted to be there for me. When my parents, Jenna and Toby fell asleep. I rang Mike and asked him to come over, the bed was cold without him and I felt lonely. He came round and we just fell asleep.

**THE NEXT DAY - TOBY'S FIRST DAY BACK AT SCHOOL**

Mike had gone home at about 6, before anyone had woken up. I drove Toby and Mike to school. I stayed by Toby's side all day, except for classes. He had a police escort incase anyone tried anything. When we had gotten to school in the morning, someone had written 'KILLER' in red brio across Toby's locker and people were confronting him all day. Mike, the girls and I were the only ones not treating him like a murderer.
