I arrived at the hospital. My hands kept shaking from all of the stress and worry that overwhelmed me. I had to take deep breaths; I couldn't let myself bleed out again. I went up to the front desk of the hospital. A short overweight woman was staring at me with smiling eyes.
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, I'm looking for my boyfriend, Toby Cavanaugh?" I spat out worriedly. The woman scanned the computer, and my hands were sweating and shaking.
"I'm sorry; there was no Toby Cavanaugh that got checked in here… Sorry" The lady said. I turned, and felt myself cry.
"My brother's house, Jason, was caught on fire; do you know if he's alright?" I asked. The lady went back to the screen, searching.
"Yup, we have Jason Dilaurentis, he's in room 214. You can visit him, if you'd like"
"Thanks" I whispered, and rushed off to a flight of stair to room 214. I searched the numbers on the second floor.
"200, 202…210, 212, 214" I gasped, and opened the door. Jason was sleeping, his neck in a neck brace, and his arms were tattooed with bruises. I pulled a chair next to him, and lightly shook his shoulder.
"Jason… Jason!" I whispered. He groaned, and his eyes opened to reveal his blue eyes.
"Spencer…" He moaned.
"Jason, where's Toby? Is he okay?" I asked impatiently.
"Black…hoodie…took…took…him" He whispered weakly, and then he instantly fell back asleep.
I sat there, shocked. I now realized what I had to do, and why this happened. This is revenge. Mona took Toby… I need to find him, track his phone, and go to the crime scene. I need to find Toby; he may be all that I have left.
I raced out the hospital, and called the girls, and told them to meet me at Jason's house. I drove reckless, not really caring.
I got to Jason's house last. They all asked me why I asked to meet them hear, and I told them Toby was kidnapped by –A.
"Oh my god…" Emily gasped. I told them we had to search the area for any clues to where he could be. I looked around the house with Aria, while Emily and Hanna searched inside. It felt like forever just searching around that burnt down house. I stumbled across Toby's leather wallet.
"YOU GUYS! I found Toby's wallet!" They hustled over to me, and the wallet led to the woods, to nowhere. But I didn't care I need to find him, even if it started at nowhere. I instantly started to walk into the woods, the girls right behind my back, and I realized there was no possible way I could find him in the middle of the woods, I had to think of something else if I wanted to find Toby.
"You guys, this isn't going to work. We have to think of something else to do if we want to find him" I told the girls, and I realized my voice had cracked, and sobs were coming uncontrollably from my throat.
I felt so broken that my heart couldn't even beat right, I felt almost faded, as if Toby was another half of my soul, the part of me that kept me grounded, was now gone, and I had nothing to hold me down except for my three best friends. But even with them, I knew I was still so very alone. My boyfriend, my child's father, was somewhere out there, tied up, or drugged, or chained to a wall, whatever situation… and it was my entire fault. Just when I had everything, -A took them away, and I was left empty… heavy hearted.
"Spence, it's going to be okay, it's alright, we'll find him…" Emily soothed me.
"What if we don't find him, what if we're are already too late, what if he's… he's dead?" I sobbed. I usually ignore those conclusions… but right now, my thoughts couldn't be controlled. I had lost the thing I need the most.
"Let's track his phone…" Hanna said.
"I can get Caleb to help… promise" Hanna added on. I knew Caleb would find his phone… but what if it was a trap? What if when I got there, -A would kill my three best friends?
"Okay, Caleb finds Toby's phone, but I'm not letting –A take you guys away too. Stay here, I'm going to go after him. You guys find his phone location, and I'll go there… I can't risk losing you guys…" I admitted.
"Spence, you don't understand, we're in this together, remember?" Aria said. She was right. We got into this together, and now we'll get out of this together.
