Chapter 4: And It Becomes Official

Spencer's POV:

Ever since last night, I've had on a deafening smile that didn't want to go away. It was Saturday evening at the Hastings dinner table and my mom was chomping on her sauteed arugula while talking to her boyfriend, Mr. Pennythistle.

"Spencer, why are you so quiet tonight?" My mom asked me.

"I'm not quiet..." I mumbled, forking a piece of my steak.

"What's on you're mind?" Melissa, my sister applied salt on her meal and placed her napkin on her lap.

"You act like your actually interested." I snapped after a few moments passed by. I gave my mom and her boyfriend, my sister and my sisters boyfriend, Wilden, a 'duh' face. There never here! Why are they so eagerly interested in me all of a sudden?!

"Honey, what has got into you?" My mom shook her head in disbelief, that her perfect child would react that way.

"I'm confused, you actually don't know?" Everyone shook their heads. "So, you expect me to believe that you care for me? I mean you leave me home alone almost everyday. We never have any child bonding time, not saying I want it..."

"I think that it would be best if you just went upstairs to your room." Melissa stammered puncturing a piece of meat.

"So, your my mom now?" I growled, and started to push my chair back.

"Spencer, please leave this room." Mr. Pennythistle said.

"Fine, I will. Don't expect me to come back." I jumped out of my cushiony chair and stomped off.

"Spencer!" Mom screamed. But she was too late, I was already out the door. I have no clue of where I'm going when I slam the door of the house and the cool rush of air brushes against my face.

I rammed my car door and drove off. In the direction of someones house. Someone who would know how to get out of this mess.


"Spencer?" Toby asked as he quickly pushed me inside. Tears were rushing down my wet cheeks when he brought me up to his room. He closed the door and sat me on his bed. "Spencer, what's going on?"

"M-m-my p-parents..." All I can do is try to get out words, and this is what I got.

I looked around his room and saw that he had a camera collection. How cute.

And Toby did the thing that I would never have guessed he would do. He didn't say anything, he didn't leave the room. He just enveloped me in a bundle and lifted my chin. I sniffed and gazed into his outstandingly beautiful eyes. He slanted his neck and leaned in for a kiss, I responded.

Things were getting a little heated and he reached for my my shirt. I let him take it off and soon, all of are articles of clothing were splattered across the bedroom floor.

"I don't have a condom..." Toby said.

"It's okay, I trust you, Toby. I love you," Tears are dripping out of my eyes onto his pillow, as he smiles and puts it in, slowly.

"I love you too," Toby answered, kissing up the side of my neck, deeply and comfortingly.


"Well, I don't know what to do now. They were so rude, and all of my stuff is there. Maybe, I'll skip school tomorrow and go when they are at work. I'm just so pissed off at them, I can't," I suggested, tossing some Parmesan Goldfish in my mouth, "But where am I going to stay?"

"I could ask my mom if you can stay here, if you want, Spence," Toby continued, "and ya know, we have a guest room right next to my room, and I can like, sneak into your room and cuddle before you get up for school."

"Aww. That would be amazing. Do you think that your mom would let me? I mean, I don't know if she even likes me." I caressed his cheek while placing light kisses on his naked chest.

"Trust me, if I like you, she'll like you." Toby just kisses my forehead and then we fell into a deep sleep around a half hour after that.


"So, do you want to come with me, to pack my things?" I asked, pulling my shirt over my head.

"Of course, Spence. Oh, I talked to my mom while you were sleeping, she said that she would be more than welcome for you to stay," Toby walked over to me and hugged me.

"That's great! I can't wait to officially be away from that hell hole." I pulled him in harder and then we made out for a few more minutes.


On our way to my house to pack my things up, were listening to the radio. Shake it off by Taylor Swift and I almost gag. "God, I hate Taylor Swift."

I reach to turn it off but then I look to my right and see Toby dancing like a retard, this was priceless. I started to laugh uncontrollably as I roll up my driveway.

We pack most of the things in my room, we first get all of the clothes and shoes, that took a while. Then after that, the make up and accessories, and then the bedding, along with the table lamp and clock on my nightstand. Basically, after that we were done.

I came across a picture of Melissa and I in my granny's pool when we were children, and I face it down.

At Toby's house, we start settling everything in and unpacking all of my clothes and shoes into the white dresser and closet. Along with everything else, and then by the time were done with that, it's almost two o'clock.

"School ended," I said, patting down my comforter on the bed.

"I should be expecting a call from Hanna in three... two... one..." I mumble as I take out my phone from my pocket.

"B-RING B-RING!"

"Where were you today in school? Did you skip? Are you sick? What happened all the girls were worried about you. And obviously you were with Tobes because he wasn't here today either. Wait, OMG! Did you guys do it or something? TELL ME SPENCE!" Hanna talked so fast I could barely understand her.

"Okay, okay. My parents were being obnoxious and rude so I came here last night, and spent the night here," I wink at Toby who is situated on my new bed, "and we didn't do anything. But, I decided to move in with him, and yeah. I went to my house to get my things and then went to Toby's house to unpack."

"Oh. Well, you could have came to me ya know? Oh well. So, you wanna hang? Maybe we could go for a double date tonight and The Grille?" Hanna enthused.

"Sounds like fun. Wait, did you say double? Who's the lucky man?" I whispered lying on the queen sized bed.

"Do you know that kid Travis? I think he might be into me, so I was gonna ask him if he wanted to go out tonight, and I'm hoping we might make it official tonight." Hanna sing songed.

I talk to Hanna for a bit longer and hang up. "So, were going on a double date tonight, Tobes." I make fun of the girls nickname and punch his shoulder lightly.
