Aria and Emily looked at Spencer who was pale and still frozen, not a single finger had moved since she walked through the door. She suddenly collapsed on the ground losing consciousness.
When she opened her eyes, she didn't know where she was. She remembered …Toby? The Lost Woods Resort? Was that real? She realized that her legs were held up high on cushions and that she was in her room. She saw Aria and Emily by her side.
"Please tell me that Hanna is out getting coffee", she said, hoping that what she had in mind wasn't true.
"Spence…I'm sorry", said Aria.
Spencer closed her eyes, having lost that little hope that was still shining inside of her. All of a sudden, Caleb stormed in, shouting: "Where the hell is
Hanna? What did Toby do to her?"
That didn't make Spencer open her eyes, but it did remind her of her pain.
"I'm going out to look for her," said Caleb, his voice determined, already heading for the door.
"Put your hands on the car" Toby ordered Hanna.
She didn't react. Even she didn't know why: because she was shocked? Betrayed? Or maybe scared… . He repeated his order, and Hanna fulfilled it, not aware of what she was doing. He took her hands and duct taped them behind her back. "Duct tape fixes everything", he said sarcastically. Then he took a wrench from his truck, spun it in his hand and hit her on her head, hard. She lost consciousness, and red blood ran through her blond hair. He put her in the backseat then rode away. He got to a deserted part just outside of Rosewood. He got out, dragged her out and left her in the middle of the road, then disappeared.
Caleb was wandering in the silent streets of Rosewood like a lost puppy looking for his master. It was around 3am, and nothing but the moonlight and the car lights were leading his way.
He got a text: "I think Hanna is out of town. –A".
Caleb immediately understood, and he pressed the gas pedal, trying to go as fast as he could. He quickly saw the sign saying "Thank you for visiting Rosewood. Drive safely!" When he looked away, he saw a person lying in his way. Hanna! She was just regaining consciousness, and she definitely did not want to be hit by a car once again. He spun the steering wheel to the extreme right. But he lost control of the car, which turned on itself multiple times before it stopped, all four wheels touching the ground.
Everything around Caleb was blurry. But something was stronger than the pain, his concern about Hanna, his love for her. That was what got him out of the car and to the road where he saw Hanna trying to get up, tears of horror in her eyes. She immediately ran to the swaying Caleb and threw her body on his. He softly hugged her and removed the tape off her hands. They put their bleeding foreheads on each other's and kissed passionately.
She put her hands on his cheeks and pulled him closer. She let out a small relieved laugh, everything was okay now, well almost everything.
"We need to get you to the hospital", she told him.
"Me?! You're the one whose hair has turned red!" he replied with a smile.
"Fine! We'll go and share!"
"Deal! But I gotta call the girls first to reassure them."
"Emm…let's call an ambulance too 'cause we can't drive and we don't have anything to drive in either."
