Alright, I'm so sorry for not updating these one-shots in literally forever. There is no excuse. But I am seriously sorry! I would like to start writing a longer story. But I need some help. If you have any ideas for longer storys or you would like to co-write it with me (that would be absolutely amazing) please let me know! I also need more prompts for these one-shots! Anything is helpful!

Even on Sick Days
The minute Spencer woke up, she knew it wasn't going to be a good day. She felt like crap. Last night her and Aria got stuck in that ice cream freezer and almost died. But of course, she had called Toby to ask him to come over to tell him what happened,but he had hung up on her in the end. Would he have done that if he knew she almost died? All she knew was that she was achy all over and she wasn't going to school today. Leaning over, she found her phone on her beside table. It now had a crack in it from when she threw it across the room last night. God how Toby pissed her off. She sent a quick text to all the girls telling the she wasn't going to be there today. About thirty seconds later Emily called.
"Hello?" Spencer croaked. "Hey Spence, how are you?" Emily asked concerned. "I'm okay, but I'm really sick. I think I have a fever and I'm achy and a sore throat. But you know, other than that, I'm perfect." she said sarcastically. "Is Toby going to come over an take care of you like last time?" Emily asked. "No, I tried to tell him what happened last night but he took off and hung up on me." "What an asshole." Emily said. "Yea so I'll just stay home today and take care of myself." Spencer said nonchalently. "Ok, well if you need anything please call ok? I'll come by after school." "Okay, thanks Em." And with that she hung up and layed back down.

Toby didn't know what happened last night. But he couldn't get the sound of Spencers distrought voice out of his head. He knew he had done wrong by her. No one had to tell him. He had been a real ass lately and both he and Spencer knew it. All he wanted to do was protect her. But everytime he did it, they always drifted apart. He loved her so much it hurt.
The ringing of his phone brought him out of his thoughts. It was Emily. "Hello?" "Toby, what is wrong with you?" Emily asked oviously sounding pretty pissed off. "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about the fact that you girlfriend is really sick right now and she almost died last night. But you wouldn't know that beause you hung up on her last night." Emily explained. "Spencer almost died?!" Toby said while putting on his shoes. "Yes Toby she did. -A locked her and Aria i n an ice cream freezer with the gas and i couldn't get them out." "Oh my god, I'm going over to her house right now." Toby said as he sped off down the road already in the truck. He hung up after saying goodbye to Emily.
Now he felt worse than he already did. He had left her when she had needed him most. Why does he always do this to her? He had almost lost her last night and he didn't even know. When he finially arrived at Spencers house he noticed that no othe cars were there. It wasn't really a suprise to him though. Her parents were rarely there for her. But lately he wasn't any better than her family. Opening the front door and going up the stairs he stopped right before he got to her room. She sounded like she was asleep and he didn't really want to dirturb her but he needed to check on her to make sure she was okay. Emotionally not physically.
He entered he room without another thought and found her laying in her bed with at least eight blankets piled ontop of her. She looked as though she were sweating and might be havinga nighmare. "Spence" Toby said softly. "No, please help me" Spencer groaned inher sleep. He hated to see her suffer like this even in her sleep. "Spencer" Tobt said while shaking her. "Toby?" Spencer sleepily grumbled while looking up at him. "It's me Spence. Will you please sit up for me?" Toby asked sweetly. "No, I hurt too bad." Spencer said very childlike. Toby helped her sit up and put pillows behind her back to support her.
"Toby what are you doing here? I don't want to play any more of your games." Yep, she was definitly awake. Something that always made him smile was that even when she was sick, she was still sassy. "I came to check on you." Toby said, "I heard about what happened last night." "Yea I almost died and you werent there for me, suprise suprise. You know, you havebeen a real ass." Spencer said with her raspy voice. "I know Spence, and I'm so sorry. When I think about losing you..." He trailed off. "I can't lose you, I love you so much. I'm sorry that I left you when you needed me. I am an ass." Toby said holding her hand. She wanted to jerk away but she couldn't. Thats just how they were. She couldn't stay away from him even if she tried. "I love you too." He could tell she was losing her voice. Although he knew he didn't deserve her acceptance, they would have to talk about this later. When she was feeling better.
"How do you feel?" "I'm achy and I have a sore throat." Spencer rasped out. "I'll go get you some soup and then you should soak in the tub to help with the achy-ness." Toby said while getting up. "Okay, thank you. I'm just going to lay here." Spencer said sleepily. He gave her a peck on the cheek and walked down stairs to make some soup. When the soup was ready he took it upstairs and gave it to Spencer.
"Spencer, you're not going to get better if you don't eat." "I don't want it right now." Spencer was being a real pain right now. But he wasn't taking it personal because she was alwas like this or worse when she was sick. "Please just eat half" Toby begged for the tenth time. "Fine, but only because i want to shower with you." Spencer said with a smirk. "What makes you think that I want to shower with you?" "Because you always do and you know that I won't take one while I'm sick if you're not there." "Well you haven't eaten your soup so I don't think so missy" Toby said. "Okay okay, you win. I'll eat it!" Spencer ate over half of the soup. "Okay lets get you in the shower." Toby said while picking her up bridal style and taking her across the hall to her bathroom. He started the water and got it the temperature the way Spencer liked it. Then he helped her take off her clothes and get in the shower. Then he took off his and got in the shower as well. Despite the close proximity between them, no part of this was sexual. He loved and respected her way more than that. He helped he wash her body and hair and held her tight when she started shaking from cold chills. "Toby, please don't ever leave me." Spencer said weakly. " Spence, where is this coming from? You know I would never do that." Toby said making her look at him in the eyes. "Toby you have before, maybe not for a super long time but you have. And everytime you do, my brain goes insane thinking that that could have been the last time I see you again." Spencer was crying ny now but he couldn't tell her tears from the shower. "Spencer you don't even know how sorry I am for everything I put you through. I;m working on it and I'm trying my best to be the kind of guy you deserve." "Toby don't you dare act like you don't deserve me because you do. I know you're working on it and thats okay. I'll be patient. I have thngs to work on too." Spencer said. "Thank you. I love you" Toby said as he pressed a chaste kiss to her lips. "I love you too."
After they got out of the shower,Toby gave her some Advil and let her get some sleep. After she insisted that the lay beside her of course. But he did because there isn't a thing he wouldn't do for her. He knew they would get better eventually. And as long as they loved eah the way they do, they were going to be okay.
