Sorry for the long wait. Here's the next chapter.


Ezra walked out of his bathroom and made his way to his living room. It's half past 3 pm and he's exhausted. He stayed up all night trying to find himself a new job. After making some coffee and a few pieces of toast, he sat down on his couch and turned on the tv. Not even a minute after he turned on the television, there was a sharp knock on his door. By the sound of the knock Ezra figured it was Toby coming to punch him again. His black eye still hasn't healed all the way since the last time he got punched. He deserved it for what he did and he realizes that. By ruining Toby's relationship with Spencer, he lost his job, his best friend, and his girlfriend all in one day. He got up from his spot on the couch and opened the door. He practically jumped when he came face to face with a very pissed of Spencer.

"Spencer," he sounded surprised.

"I need to talk to you," she spoke in demanding tone. "Now."

Ezra stepped to the side and let her in. Spencer stomped into his kitchen with her high heels pounding on the hardwood floor. Ezra shut the door, turned around, and stuffed his hands inside his pajama pockets.

"How could you?" She hissed. "How could you do what you did? What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Spencer," he sighed. "I understand why you're here and you have every right to yell at me for breaking you and Toby up."

"Getting Toby and I to break up is only part of the reason why I'm here!" She yelled. "I'm also here to yell at you for trying to get Aria involved in your dirty trick! You tried to get her to help you split us up? Why would you do that? Aria is one of my best friends and the fact that you tried to get her to turn on me for your own selfish reasons. That's really low of you!"

"It was wrong of me and I know that. If you would just give me a second to explain…"

"Oh shut up," Spencer snapped. "This is not Ezra's pity party time. You do not get a chance to explain yourself. You hurt a lot of people by what you did. Forget about my feelings, but what about Toby? You did not only hurt me, but you hurt Toby and you hurt Aria! You are a jerk. No, jerk is underrated. You are an ass. You are a huge-jackass-bastard-jerk face-dip shit!"

"I know. I know what I did was wrong. If you came here to punch me, slap me, or hurt me in anyway, I deserve it so go right ahead and do what you need to do."

"I'm not going to hit you, Ezra," she shook her head. "Hitting you won't change what you've done. Now, I realize yelling at you won't change anything either. Coming here was a mistake. You will always be a selfish asshole. You don't care about anyone but yourself. Honestly I feel sorry that Toby ever had a friend as horrible as you. You disgust me."

"I'm sorry, Spencer."

"Sorry doesn't change anything," she walked towards the door and paused, "anyway, I'm not the one you owe an apology to."

She walked out of his apartment and slammed the door behind her. Ezra sat down on his couch and groaned. He really screwed up this time. If there was something he could do to fix things, he would.

After her little blow up at Ezra, Spencer went over to Mona's for some girl talk. Her head is hurting and everything is spinning out of control. She misses Toby a lot, but part of her is still worried she will ruin his life. Spencer laid out on Mona's bed just staring up at the ceiling. Mona had their favorite French album playing on a recorder player. Mona sat against her headboard flipping through her favorite magazine. She noticed how Spencer's been distracted since she got here.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Mona asked.

Spencer looked at her and sighed, "just doing some thinking."

"About?"

"Toby. Me and Toby. I'm wondering if I did the right thing."

"Well, do you think you did the right thing?"

"I don't know," Spencer sat up and clasped her hands together. "I love Toby a lot and they always say if you love something set it free and if it was meant to be they'll come back to you. What if we don't come back? Does that mean Toby and I aren't meant to be?"

"Spencer," Mona closed her magazine. "You and Toby will find your way back to each other. You two were clearly meant for each other. He loves you and I think we all know Toby well enough to know that he's not going to let you walk away this easily. And you shouldn't give up on him either. I would really hate to see two people I care about end it all over some jackass's opinion."

"Thanks Mona, but I think now they only thing that can save my relationship is if I go on tour with him. You know he's leaving in just a couple weeks."

"That's plenty of time for you to say something."

"Yeah, maybe I'll stop by Toby's place after I leave here."

"You can go now if you want. We can watch Queen Margot some other time."

Spencer smiled, "no, I'll go after we watch Queen Margot."

They finished the movie at 10 pm then Spencer drove the fifteen miles to Toby's apartment. She arrived and parked in the parking garage like normal. Like always, she took the elevator and rode up to his level. When she stepped off the elevator she took slow steps towards his apartment. She got to his door and knocked softly. There was no answer. She knocked two more times and he still didn't answer. He must not be home. She was about to turn away, until she heard the door open. She turned around and caught Toby standing in a Green Day t-shirt and blue jeans.

"Spencer," he sounded shocked. "I didn't expected you to come here tonight."

"Uh yeah, I didn't expect to come over here tonight either."

"Well, I'm in the middle of a meeting with my tour adviser, but I'm almost done if you want to come in. I just have to go to my room to grab my demo cd."

Spencer looked over Toby's shoulder and saw a lady with blonde curly hair dressed in a light blue blouse white a white skirt. She looks to be in her thirties. The lady stood up to shake Spencer's hand. Spencer stepped inside while Toby walked back to his bedroom.

"Hello, I'm Shannon Toby's tour adviser I'm helping him pick out his tour dates."

Spencer tried her best to smile, "it's nice to meet you. You said you're here to help plan Toby's tour?"

"That's right," Shannon nodded. "His flight to LA leaves this coming Friday."

"That soon? "

"The sooner the better. His album comes out tomorrow and if he leaves Friday he'll have a full week to rehearse with his band and maybe get a couple interviews in before his first show in LA."

"Wow, I didn't know Toby was leaving so soon. It's good that he's going on tour."

"He's already signed for this year round tour and Toby said he's really excited to go. I think this could be the beginning of a very successful career for him."

"Yeah," Spencer nodded. "This is a very good opportunity for him."

"It really is. I would hate to see anything get in his way from doing this. Toby's been on tours before, but small ones. This one could be huge and this tour could make him big. This album is amazing!"

"It is. It really is."

"Okay," Shannon picked up her purse. "I'm going to get going. Tell Toby I'll call him tomorrow and we will talk about getting him his own plane and a design for his tour bus."

"Will do," Spencer said.

Shannon walked out and shut the door behind her. Toby came back out into the living room with his demo cd. Spencer was in too deep of thought to notice him right away. What is she doing here? Why did she come here tonight? If Spencer tells Toby what she came here to say, then she'll get in the way. Toby might not think so, and that would be the problem. She doesn't want to be the factor standing in the way of his dream of going on tour.

"Hey," Toby spoke up getting her attention.

"Hey."

"Shannon left already?"

"Yeah, she said she'll call you tomorrow about getting you a plane and a tour bus/ She seems really excited about this tour."

"Yeah, I am too."

"I can tell," Spencer faked a smile. "I'm happy for you on this. I see you have a demo cd there. Shannon missed getting it."

"Actually I grabbed this copy for you. I figured you could have the first copy and first chance to listen to it before it goes on sell at midnight."

"Great, thank you, Toby. I'm sure it's great."

"Yeah," he nodded. "You've helped inspire most of the songs, so thanks."

"It was no problem."

"So, what did you come over here for?"

"Oh," Spencer shook her head. "I came by to uh drop off these French notes for you since you have that test tomorrow."

She took the notes out of her bag and handed them over. Toby took the notes and set them on the coffee table.

"You didn't have to drive all the way out here. You could've given them to me at school or emailed them to me."

"I know. I just thought it would be better to drop them off here and I had something to say, but it's not important anymore, so I'm going to go."

"Are you sure you don't want to stay?" He asked hoping she will change her mind.

"No, it's getting late and I really need to get going. I'll see you at school. Goodbye, Toby."

Spencer walked out and closed the door behind her. Toby walked up to the door like he wanted to opening it up and go after her, but he didn't. Instead he sat down on his couch and stared at the door hoping she would come back.


Hey, guys. I'm getting close to wrapping up this story. Can't say how many chapters I have planned, but it's getting close to the end. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Will Spencer and Toby get back together? Review and hopefully I can update soon. (:
