The other characters get a mention.
General POV
*Friday February 5th*
This week has been hard on everyone but mostly for Ezra. Wesley passed away on February 1st after being in the hospitably for 3 weeks. Ezra was right by his side. Mrs. Fitzgerald had been in the hallway talking with Aria at the time. Aria regrets not being in the room with Ezra at the time. Just like the group of friends had all gone to Emily's dad's funeral last year, they all went to Wesley's funeral.
"I know it's hard right now for you Ezra but on a positive note we get to have a baby in 4 months." Aria said
"You weren't in the room at the time Aria. You don't know what it feels like to see your younger brothers monitor go flat line as you tell him how much you love him and that you would be back tomorrow." Ezra said
"Your right, I don't know what it feels like and it's sad just thinking about it." Aria said
"Why did it have to be Wesley in the car that hit you?" Ezra asked
"Oh so now it's my fault your brother died." Aria yelled
"Aria, I didn't mean it like that." Ezra said
"Then what did you mean because that's exactly what it sounded like?" Aria yelled
Aria stormed out of the apartment and Ezra followed her.
"Don't follow me?" Aria yelled
"Aria, I'm sorry for what I said." Ezra said
"I'm sorry to Ezra but I need to be alone right now." Aria said
Aria went back upstairs to their apartment while Ezra stayed downstairs inside Cappuccino Books Cafe. A few hours later everything was fine between Aria and Ezra.
Spencer's POV
*Sunday February 14th*
I woke up to find Toby putting on his uniform. I didn't think he had to work today because it was Sunday and he was normally off.
"I didn't wake you up did I?" Toby asked
"Since when do you work on Sundays?" I asked ignoring his question.
"I don't normally but today I'm picking up an extra shift at LAPD." Toby said
"Today of all days Toby? Please tell me it's not to late for you to call in sick?" I asked
"Why is today so special?" Toby asked
"Toby seriously you didn't remember that it's valentines day today?" I asked
"Spence, I'm so sorry." Toby said
"Are you just going to forget about me Toby like Melissa did?" I asked
"No and I'm sure Melissa didn't forget about you." Toby said
"Ask Melissa because we haven't talked in weeks." I said
"Spence, your sisters probably just busy." Toby said
"I'm still worried about her. It's not just the phone calls, She isn't responding to my emails either." I said
"Spence, If something had happened to your sister then you would have known from your parents." Toby said
"Just please don't go to work today Toby." I said
"Why not Spence?" Toby asked
"I'm going to be alone all day and I want to be with you." I said
"What about Hanna, Caleb, Emily, or Alison?" Toby asked
"Caleb's working today and Hanna's helping him. Emily and Alison have plans to spend the day at the zoo." I said
"Ok then what about Ezra, Aria, Jason, or Kayla?" Toby asked
"I'm sure Ezra and Aria are busy with everything that they have been dealing with. I don't really want to bother Jason and Kayla." I said
"What about that UCLA friend of yours?" Toby asked
"We haven't been friends since the semester ended 2 months ago." I said
"Spence, I'm sorry but we have tonight to spend together." Toby said
"If you go I may not be here when you get back." I said
"What is that supposed to mean Spence?" Toby asked
"I don't know Toby, I really don't know." I said
Toby's POV
I left for my shift at LAPD. I know I should have stayed home with Spencer but my job is an important one. Spencer and I would have tonight to spend together.
At lunch time I decided that I was going to check in with Spencer. I texted Spence telling her that I was going to come home for lunch. Spencer didn't respond back. I tried not to get worried but she normally responds quickly to my texts.
Caleb and I got to the house at the same time.
"Caleb what are you doing here?" I asked
"Hanna told me to check on Spencer. Han got a text from Spencer and she was worried." Caleb said
"What did the text say?" I asked
"Hanna's text from Spencer said "Tell Toby goodbye for me." Caleb said
"Caleb, you don't think she would -" I said leaving out the last few words.
"Toby, it's either that or she plans on leaving LA without telling you." Caleb said
I got into the house as fast as I could. Caleb and I looked around for a good 5 minutes before we found where Spencer might be. The door to the bathroom that Spencer and I share was locked. I was able to pick the lock almost right away thanks to my police training and Caleb's help. Spencer was lying on the floor and seemed to be unconscious. I checked and Spencer wasn't breathing but she did have a faint pulse.
"I'll call 911." Caleb said
"No don't we have to get her to the hospital ourselves." I said
"Why not?" Caleb asked
"If we call 911 the police are going to want to do an investigation and write a police report. None of that is important. All I care about is Spencer." I said
"My car or the police car?" Caleb asked
"Police car because I can use the sirens." I said
I picked up Spencer from the floor and Caleb picked up the bottle of pills laying next to her. We got her into the back of the police car. Caleb sat with Spencer in the back and I drove as fast as I could to the hospital.
I carried Spencer into the hospital and an emergency room doctor got her into a room right away. I was in the hallway outside the room for what seemed like forever but in reality it was 15 minutes before a doctor walked out of the room.
"She's awake now." He said
"Is she going to be ok?" I asked
"I don't know at this point. Do you know what pills and how many she took?" He asked
"I don't know how many but this was the pill bottle." Caleb said and handed the bottle to the doctor.
"Can we see her now?" I asked
"Yes." He said
I walked into the hospital room and Spencer just looked at me with a silent stare. She didn't really seem like she was happy to see me.
"Spence, You know how much I love you so why would you do this to yourself?" I asked
"I did something for that UCLA friend a few months ago and I might get into big trouble." Spencer said
"You didn't tell Toby yet?" Caleb asked
"How do you know about this and I don't?" I asked
"Toby, I was going to tell you but I thought I had things under control." Spencer said
"What did you do Spencer?" I asked
"I can't tell you because of your job Toby and your in uniform right now so I really can't tell you." Spencer said
"Spencer, trust me that I will do everything that I can to protect you." I said
"I don't want to talk about it right now." Spencer said
Caleb and I walked out into the hallway for a moment
"Caleb, what did she do?" I asked
"Spencer may have stolen copies of UCLA exams for her friend." Caleb said
"That explains why Spencer told me this morning she wasn't friends with that UCLA girl anymore." I said
We walked back into the hospital room just before another doctor walked in and asked to talk to Spencer alone. Caleb left the room but I told him I was staying.
"We ran some blood tests and it turns out that Spencer you are pregnant." He said
"How far along am I?" Spencer asked
"From the looks of things only about 3 weeks. Spencer, you still have plenty of time to make a decision and decide what you want to do." He said
"How did the drugs she took affect the baby?" I asked
"We won't know unless we run some more tests." He said
"Can you give us some time to talk." Spencer asked the doctor.
"Did you know before you took the pills Spence?" I asked
"No and I never would have done that if I had known." Spencer said
"The baby Spence, you don't seem happy about it." I said
"We can't have a baby right now Toby. I'm only a sophomore at UCLA and I need that Pre Law degree or my parents are going to hate me." Spencer said
"Spencer, nobody said we can't have a baby and you also can't get your university degree." I said
"I'm to young and we are not ready to have a kid." Spencer said
"Spence, If Kayla can handle having a baby at 18. Aria is about to have a baby in a few months then I think we can handle a baby." I said
"What if we can't handle parenting Toby? I have university and you have your job." Spencer asked
"We will work this out together Spencer." I said
"I just don't picture us with a baby right now." Spencer said
"Spence, to be honest I didn't picture us with a baby for at least another 3 years but it is what it is." I said
Caleb helped me make some calls but of course I had to be the one to call Spencer's parents. I didn't tell them about Spencer being pregnant because I didn't think she would want me telling them.
"What did my parents say?" Spencer asked
"They will be on a flight to LA as soon as they can. Your sister called me and Melissa's on her way as well." I said
The next day Mr and Mrs. Hastings got to LA. Melissa arrived a few days later.
Thoughts on this chapter. Next chapter will be March. I don't know what will happen next so write me some ideas in the comments.
What will Spencer and Toby do about her pregnancy?
Do you think Spencer will try to harm herself or the baby again?
What do you think will happen next: for Spoby? for Haleb? for Ezria? for Emison? for Jason/Kayla?
Any other ideas?
What characters should have scenes together?
Who should be involved in a love triangle? I already have two possible love triangles. Jason, Hanna, Caleb (Will end with Haleb) and Wren, Spencer, Toby (Will end with Spoby). The Love Triangles are only for the drama.
Thank You for reading, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please remember to Review.
