I felt like updating another chapter today, so here it is :) Hope you'll like it :)
Chapter 26: (Everything I do) I do it for you
Spencer's POV
I woke up to the sound of a phone vibrating. I got up and saw that it was my phone. I took it and looked around me. I was in my room, Emily, Hanna and Aria were laying on my bed all wrapped in each others. I looked down at my phone and saw that I had 3 texts messages. All from A. I opened the first one I got. «Hey Spence, it's been a while don't you think? You didn't think I was gone for good, did you? Anyway, down to business. I let you and Emily be happy for long enough. I want you to break up with her. –Xox- A»
Did she really think I would break up with Emily after reading that ridiculous text...? I opened the next one. «You don't think I'm serious...? You should though; you don't want your poor little Em to get injured do you? –Xox- A»
How could she know I wouldn't take her seriously? I opened the last message anyway. «I know you too well Spencer Hastings, that's why. I'm giving you until 2 am tomorrow night to break up with her. If you don't, you'll regret it forever. Oh, and don't forget Spencer, I watch your every move. –A» Okay, that's freaky enough.
I sat down on the floor next to my bed. What options do I have? Break up with her or let A injured her? That doesn't sound like options to me... In a way or another, she'll get hurt and I promised myself I wouldn't do anything that could hurt her. I took my head in my hands and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped and turned around. It was Hanna.
"What's wrong Spence?" She whispered.
I extended my hand and she took it. I helped her to get up and we went downstairs, we sat down on the couch and I put my head back in my hands.
"What happened?" She asked me worried.
I gave her my phone.
"Read the 3 first text messages." I told her.
When she was done she gave me my phone back.
"It's almost like you answered her texts and she replied in the next one she sent you..." Hanna said.
"I know and it really did fit with what I was thinking when I read the texts." I said.
"I know Spence"
"I don't understand"
"Everybody who knows you well enough could know what you think... And I think A knows you well enough..."
"Okay... So that means A is someone really close to me, because knowing what we did is one thing but knowing how I think is another..."
"I don't really see the difference."
"Well from what we know Ali could've tell all our secrets to someone and that person is A."
"I've never thought of that. I don't know, I think I just trusted Ali and I never thought that there was a chance she could betray us."
"It depends on the point of view, you know."
"What do you mean" Hanna asked me.
"Well, you trusted Ali, so you never thought she could betray you but I, on the other hand, didn't trust her, she found out my secrets, I didn't tell her. That's why I thought of that possibility, her telling our secrets."
"You're right; it depends on the point of view. Do you think we have all the same? I mean, not you and me, but Aria, Emily and me. We all trusted Ali."
"I don't know... I don't think so... Once again it depends on how you see things... I hated Ali, but she knew too much... Ali inspired you. Emily was in love with her and Aria saw her like a good friend... So technically you three don't have the same point of view but at the end of the day, you all trusted her..."
"You know that you're a genius" Hanna told me with a smile.
"I wished it was a little bit true."
"It is Spence, you're way too smart."
"Then why don't I know what to do about A's texts?" I asked her.
"It's not the same thing Spence."
"In the end it is"
"Maybe but you will do the best thing possible."
"Not this time."
"How could you know that?" She asked me.
"In both case, she'll get hurt. I don't even have a choice here, Han. I'll lose the girl of my dreams whatever I do."
"Why don't you explain it to her and let her chose?"
"Because she'll decide to stay with me and A will injured her."
"Don't you think that it's her choice?"
"No Hanna, it's mine! I'd rather see her alive and with someone else than dead because of me."
"I get that Spence but don't you think that she's old enough to take care of herself."
"You got hit by a car Hanna, how could you say that!? It hurt me so much to see you laying there on the ground, unconscious. I can't even imagine Emily laying on the ground bleeding, lost between life and death..." I said as I started crying.
Hanna hugged me and I started crying louder. Emily and Aria walked down the stairs at that moment. Emily ran towards me and Hanna let go of me as Emily hugged me.
"Babe, what's wrong?" She asked me alarm.
"I..."
"It's okay; everything's going to be okay." She whispered in my ear.
"No it's not." I replied.
I pulled away to look into her eyes.
"Emily... We're over" I said as I looked down.
"What...?" She asked as she forced me to look at her.
When she saw that I didn't answer she started crying and it broke my heart.
"I'm sorry Spence, but I won't let you do that." Hanna said out of nowhere.
"Hanna, shut up" I told her.
"What's going on?" Emily and Aria asked at the same time.
"A sent her a text..." Hanna said.
"Hanna!" I told her between my teeth.
"What is it?" Emily said as she looked at me.
I didn't answer.
"A told her to break up with her or she would hurt you." Hanna said looking me in the eyes.
I got up and got closer to her with anger in my eyes.
"I had to tell her Spence."
"It wasn't your decision."
I got closer and she stayed there. I saw that she was afraid so I took a step back.
"I know you love her Spencer, and that's why I told her. If we stayed together we can make sure nothing happen to her."
"You don't understand Hanna, A is always a step ahead of us, we're nothing compare to them."
"But you're everything to me" Emily said still crying.
"You're everything to me too Emily and that's why I'm doing this. I love you so much and I can't risk anything."
"Spencer, please"
"I'm doing this for you, baby."
"I'm sure we can figure something out." Aria spoke for the first time.
So what do you think?
