Chapter 20

Getting Away (Part 3)

Toby was able to avoid Alison for a few more days. In those days the gang all hung out and explored Florida. They went back to Orlando to visit the amusement parks again with their friends. They went to Tampa for days on the beach of surfing and snorkeling. They even went to Miami to go clubbing and playing games and ride rides on the boardwalk. Everything was good and Alison hated it. She was about to shake everything up.

"Hey, Spence. I was thinking that we all could do a girls day today." Alison said as she stood outside of her and Toby's door. She heard Spencer giggling and she rolled her eyes.

"That's sounds great, Ali. Let me just get dressed-Toby stop." Spencer laughed again and Alison couldn't help but roll her eyes again before leaving.

"Why do you have to leave me? We've only got three more days here and I was planning on taking full advantage of it." Toby said as he kissed from Spencer's neck to her collarbone.

"Toby, you have to learn to share me. I want to spend time with the girls, but tonight I promise that you'll have me all to yourself." Spencer kissed him one last time before she pried herself out if his arms to go her dressed.

Toby got up from the bed and left the room. He walked down the stairs and to the kitchen to make him a sandwich. He looked in the backyard to see his friends hanging out around the pool and tiki bar. He opened pulled the things he needed for his sandwich and started making his lunch.

"Hey, Toby." Alison said as she swooped in next to him.

"Alison." Toby said coldly and didn't even look at her. He just focused on spreading mayo on his sandwich.

"You've been avoiding me. I'm not happy about that. I said I wanted you, but you can't seem to follow directions."

"I'm not going to do anything you say. You can't bait me into doing anything you say."

"I can't?" Alison questioned.

She pulled the knife out of Toby's had and placed it on the counter. She grabbed him by his face to look her in the eye.

"Toby, don't test me. I can make your life a living hell with the snap of my fingers. Tonight is the night. Don't keep me waiting." Alison snapped before she pushed him back against the counter and walked outside to join the others.

Toby slammed his fists on the counter and stopped when he felt someone touch his shoulder.

"Toby, are you okay?" Spencer asked. She had just come downstairs in time to see Toby taking his frustration out on the counter top.

He relaxed and turned around. He pulled her body to his."I'm fine."

"Then what was that?"

"Nothing, I'm fine." Toby pulled back so he could look her in the eye. He kissed her on top of her head before he released her."Go have fun with your friends. I'll be here when you get back."

The girls did a little shopping, more like a lot of shopping because Hanna wanted to go in every single store. After spending hours of shopping, they decided to sit down and have lunch at a nearby restaurant. Alison saw this as her opportunity to stir the pot.

"So, Spence. Are you enjoying this little vacation with Toby?" Alison asked even though she knew the answer.

"I am. I've been having so much fun. All the site seeing and activities it's all been wonderful."

Hanna snorted."I'm surprised that you and Toby even have the time or energy to go site seeing."

Spencer blushed because she knew what Hanna was talking about."Han, we don't do that all the time. Sometimes we just lie down and talk. "

"But most of the time you do right?" Hanna asked and Spencer blushed again."I'll take that as a yes."

"Wow, Spence I can't believe you are that close already." Alison said.

"Why? Aren't you the one that said if I don't satisfy his needs then someone else would?"

"Yeah, Alison. It's her relationship just let it go." Aria said and Alison glared at her.

"I'm just saying. I knew Toby before she did and trust me he wasn't the guy he is now."

"How can you know? You only spent about a week knowing him and Spencer's known him for almost four years." Emily said and Alison just smiled.

"Toby and I were close back then." Alison turned her attention to Spencer."He and I were very close and I know a lot about him. He shared secrets with me. Secrets that you wouldn't believe."

"Is that supposed to mean something?" Spencer asked sharply and Alison laughed.

"It can mean anything. I'm just saying watch your back because Toby Cavanaugh is no saint."

The girls changed the subject to what they were gonna do for summer vacation. Spencer jut kept replaying Alison's words I her head. Toby Cavanaugh is no saint. She didn't know what that meant, but she was gonna figure it out.

The girls returned home later that night. Ezra and Holden were in the living room playing games on the Xbox. Caleb and Paige were playing cards in the dining room. But Toby was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, guys, where's Toby?" Spencer asked.

"Room." Holden said without even looking at her.

Spencer took her and her bags upstairs to her and Toby's bedroom. She sat her bags down on the floor at the end of their bed. He wasn't in the bedroom or their bathroom. So, she opened up the door to the balcony and he was there. He leaning up against the railing looking at the ocean.

Spencer walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. She kissed his back through his shirt.

"Toby, please tell me what's wrong." Spencer pleaded and could feel Toby tense up in her arms.

He didn't say anything. He turned around and crashed his lips on to hers. Spencer was a little stunned at first, but kissed him back. His kiss was needy and he was yearning for something.

"What's wrong." Spencer murmured against his lips.

"Nothing. I just want you now and forever." Toby said and reconnected their lips. He cupped her thighs and lifted her up so that she could wrap her legs around his waist.

"Toby, I don't think-"

"Please, just let me be with you." Toby pleaded as he kissed her neck.

"Okay." Spencer said and kissed him once again before he carried them back into the bedroom.

Spencer woke up in the middle of the night for some reason. She turned over to snuggle up to Toby's body, but he wasn't there. She looked around their room to see that he wasn't there at all. She got up and opened the door to the balcony. He wasn't out there, so she was gonna go back inside. Something on the beach stopped her from going back inside. Alison was standing on the beach looking out at the ocean.

Spencer was going to call her name, but she stopped when she saw someone walking towards Alison. It was Toby. So, Spencer stayed quiet and just watched. He approached Alison and try began talking. Spencer's heart sank when she saw Alison lean up to kiss Toby. She couldn't each anymore, she ran back inside their bedroom.

She collapsed onto the bed and began to cry. She never felt so betrayed in her whole entire life. Suddenly, her sadness was replaced with anger. More than anger she was livid. She decided to play it cool and see what Toby does before she does anything drastic. So, she pulled back the covers and got back in bed.

Toby came back into the room a few minutes later to see that Spencer was still asleep. Little did he know that she was just pretending. He had just told Alison off and didn't have to worry about her coming between him and his girl. She tried to throw herself at him, but he rejected her big time.

Toby stripped down to his boxers and got into the bed with Spencer. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on top of hers.

"I love you, baby." Toby whispered in her ear. He didn't know it, but Spencer silently cried herself to sleep last night.

Toby woke up the next morning to see suitcases by the door. He was beyond confused about what was happening. He looked over and Spencer wasn't in the bed.

"Spencer? Spence, baby?" Toby called out to her. Spencer emerged from the bathroom already dressed to go somewhere."What's going on? Why are you bags packed? Where are you going?"

"I'm going home." Spencer said nonchalantly.

"You can't leave. Is there a problem at home?" Toby said as he rushed to put on pants.

"No, I just don't want to spend anymore time with a lying and cheating asshole." Spencer snapped at him.

"What are you talking about? I've never cheated on you."

"Then what did you call that last night on the beach with Ali."

Toby froze. She knew about what happened. But she didn't know the whole story. She didn't know that he pushed Alison away. She didn't know that he kicked her out of his beach house. She didn't know that he kicked her out of his life.

"Spencer, you don't understand-"

Toby was cutoff by a hard slap to the face. He rubbed his cheek and it hurt like hell. He looked into her eyes to see that she wasn't crying, but she was pissed.

"I understand everything. You've been cheating on me all along. I was just too blind to see it. You never loved me and I've made a fool of myself because I fell for every one of your bullshit words!" Spencer yelled and torn off his mothers necklace to throw it in his face.

"Spencer, don't do this. Lets talk about this. Let me tell you the truth." Toby reached out for her, but she stepped back.

"The truth. Do you even know what the truth is, Toby? You lied to me about Allison. You lied about not really knowing her. And now you're trying to lie about a kiss that I saw with my own eyes. Well, no more. I'm done with you and your lies."

Spencer picked up her suitcases and left the room. Toby followed her, pleading with her to come back and work things out. She didn't listen, she didn't even turn around to look at him. A cab was waiting outside for her. The cab driver took her bags and put them in the trunk.

"Spencer,please." Toby begged her to stop. He grabbed her arm and spun her around so she could look at him.

He didn't waste his time just looking at her. He pressed his lips to her as a way of pleading with her to stay. She kissed him back at first, but pushed him away and then wiped her mouth.

"A kiss isn't going to change anything. Goodbye, Toby." Spencer got into the back of the cab. Toby tried to get in the car with her, but all the doors were locked.

The car started to pull away from the house. He chased after it, calling Spencer's name, but it do any good. The cab left out of the gated community and Spencer just drove out of Toby's life.
