The next day
Emily (P.O.V)
Today is going to be a busy day. I am dumping Ben today, and I am going to Spencer's later
But first, Ben.
I dial his number and invite him over to my house. My mom is at work, so I will be alone.
When he arrives, he immediately notices the look on my face. Instead of letting him in, I step outside and close the door.
"Ben, we need to talk." I say.
"What?"
"I want to break up." I blurt out.
"Why?"
"I just don't have feelings for you anymore."
"What are you talking about?"
"Ben, it's not you, it's me."
"Don't lay that cheesy-ass line on me, tell me the real reason."
"The truth is, there is someone else."
"Who is it?"
"It isn't someone you know well, and I don't think they are ready for a relationship, but I have stronger feelings towards them. Please don't make this difficult, Ben. I love you, but I'm not in love with you. I just think we are better off as friends." Technically, I am not lying. I do have feelings for someone else. I got over Alison ever since I told Spencer I'm gay. But, there is this other girl, and her name is Maya. She just moved into town, and she lives next door to me.
"If you really have feelings for someone else, tell me who it is."
"I really can't tell you Ben."
"Why not?"
"Ben why do you have to know!? Just take a hint! I don't want to be with you anymore! You will know if we are ever together! Leave me alone!" He looks hurt now. I never wanted to hurt his feelings.
"Ben, I am really sorry. I am trying not to hurt you, but you're making it so difficult! You need to accept that I am breaking up with you, goodbye."
I go back into my house, then close and lock the door behind me. I walk up to my room and dial Spencer's number.
"Hello?" She answers.
"Hey, Spence."
"Hi! What's wrong?"
"I did it. I broke up with him."
"Good for you. Are you okay?"
"I don't know. I'm relieved that I finally left him, but I still feel really bad."
"Okay, I know that you were planning on coming later, but just come over right now."
"Alright, I'll be there in about an hour. Bye, Spence."
"Bye, Em."
I look outside my window to make sure that Ben has left. He's gone.
I start to get ready to leave.
Spencer (P.O.V)
"Who was that?" Caleb asks, coming downstairs as I hang up the phone. It is 2:00 in the afternoon, and he just woke up. Toby and I were setting down our plates, getting ready to eat our sandwiches.
"It was Emily. She is coming over in an hour. She just dumped her boyfriend." I answer.
"Wow. Spencer really hit you badly, didn't she?" Toby says, noticing the large bruise under his eye.
Caleb sits next to Toby after stealing half of my sandwich.
"Hey! My sandwich!" I yell.
"Hey! My eye!" Caleb teases, using the same tone as me.
Thankfully, Toby gives me half of his.
"Thanks, babe." I say, and then I give him a kiss.
"Stop! I'm eating!" Caleb yells.
"Yeah, my sandwich." I retort.
Toby (P.O.V)
I was finishing up the half a sandwich I was eating when someone enters the house.
Emily.
I know that she isn't a bad person, but we never really talked much.
Spencer automatically gives Emily a hug, walks to the freezer, pulls out a small tub of ice cream, and sets it on the table across from me, where Emily is sitting.
Emily gets out a spoon and digs in.
"How come Toby and I don't get any iced cream?" Caleb asks. (A/N: note that he said iced cream)
"Emily needs cheering up. Therefore, she gets ice cream." Spencer replies.
"I need cheering up! Hanna isn't here and her best friend punched me in the face!"
"You punched him in the face?!" Emily exclaims.
"He snuck up behind her." I told her.
"That explains it. One time, Spencer elbowed me in the ribs after I snuck up behind her during a horror movie. But the look on her face was worth it!" Emily tells me.
"You know what, fine! Caleb I'll get you iced cream. Toby, do you want ice cream?" I nod my head. I haven't had any in a long time.
Spencer opens up the fridge again, taking out some more ice cream and some other stuff but I can't see what it is.
She also opens up the refrigerator and takes some unknown item out and whipped cream as Caleb smiles in victory.
When she turns around she gives us both a bowl of ice cream with an enormous amount of whipped cream. It is so delicious! At least, I thought so.
"What is this? This isn't iced cream!" Caleb yells in amusement.
"What are you talking about? Yes it is." Spencer replies.
"Oh, really? Show me."
Spencer picks up his spoon and points to the contents in the bowl.
"There is the ice. There is the cream."
Spencer and Caleb continue to argue about whether or not it is what Caleb asked for.
All of a sudden, Emily asks me, "Toby? Can I talk to you?"
We walk into the living room and sit on the couch.
"Toby, I am really sorry about everything that happened."
"Emily, stop. I have said this so many times, but really, Alison is the one I am mad at. Spencer already explained everything. There is no need to say sorry."
Before she can say anything, we turn around to see an angry Spencer with whipped cream all over her and a laughing Caleb, with the can.
I burst out in laughter. She is so adorable when she is angry. That is, until her anger is now directed towards me.
"You think this is funny?" She asks me.
I nod, but then I realize this is the wrong answer, so I shake my head, but is too late.
"You know, Toby, I could really use a hug right now." I see what she is planning so I quickly get up and start to back up.
"Spencer, don't." I say, but she continues to walk towards me. I try to run away, but she starts chasing me.
I stop when I don't think she is near me anymore. I turn around and she isn't there. I finally feel relaxed when she jumps on my back
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" I yell.
I go upstairs and take a shower once Spencer lets go of me. I know that I am going to get her back, so maybe I'll just team up with Caleb. I change into some new clothes and go downstairs. I see Spencer saying goodbye to Emily. Caleb is finishing up her ice cream.
Once Emily leaves, we all sit on the couch, bored. I decide to go for a walk, so I leave. I am planning on getting Spencer some flowers, so I will have to walk a little more into town.
When I get there, I receive a text. It says:
You have five minutes to meet me in the alley or else someone close to you will get hurt.
Tick-tock,
Xoxo – A
Who is "A". No matter who it is, I walk into the alley, not wanting to take any chances.
I am greeted by two people in masks. One of them is wearing a red coat, and the other one is wearing a black hoodie.
"What do you want?" I ask.
A/N: I am planning for more Spoby next chapter. Also, I know that Emily likes Maya right now, but I am making it so that both the Emaya and the Paily fans will be satisfied.
I think I will jump to right before school starts after next chapter.
Please review!
