Chapter 3 His Return

It was December 6th, Alison's 21st birthday, and the gang was headed to the Grill to hang out for a while, then to a bar. It was now a tradition when it was someone's 21st birthday everyone, that's old enough, would take that person out to do shots, and of course a least three people would stay sober enough to drive home, or they would bring Mike and Holden to drive them home. When Hanna, Mike, Aria, and Ezra arrived, they froze. Sitting at a booth in the corner was Caleb... And Kate.

FLASHBACK 2 years ago
When Hanna arrived at Caleb's apartment, she used her key to open the door, but when she stepped inside she was not expecting what she saw. She expected Caleb to be on the couch watching a stupid sports game. She was right about the couch, not what he was doing. Caleb was in the middle of a heated make-out session with Kate, Hanna's evil slutty step-sister. Out of all the girls in the world, he had picked Kate. Hanna slowly stepped back, and closed the door softly, she then ran down the hallway and down the stairs as fast as she could. She got in her car not even knowing where she was headed. She ended up at the Brew, and on her way in she accidentally walked right into Mike Montgomery.
END OF FLASHBACK

Mike still after two years felt like ripping Caleb's head off, for breaking Hanna's heart. "You okay?" He whispered to Hanna, she put on her best fake smile and said "why wouldn't I be, I have you", and yes she was hurt, but she was glad she had Mike.
They entered the Grill and found their friends sitting in the largest booth, all the was on the other side of the restaurant. They joined Jason, CeCe, Noel, Ali, Holden, Emily, Melissa, and Ian at the table, as if nothing happened.

After dinner they all went to a nice bar. "okay, Mike, Holden, no drinking, but other than that have fun!" Jason said.
By the time everyone was leaving, Spencer, Hanna, Aria, CeCe, Emily, and Ali were all drunk. "Okay, aren't guys the ones to drink away their problems?" Ezra asked "yeah, I went through that faze" Jason said "okay, Jase, you gonna bring CeCe home?" Ezra asked "yeah, you got Aria?" Jason asked "yep. Mike can you handle Hanna, and Holden you gonna get Em right?" Ezra asked "yeah" they said at the same time "and Noel you good with Ali?" Jason asked, Noel nodded. "Wait. Where's Spencer?" Jason asked "Jase, she's a Hastings, she was probably sober enough and called a cab" Noel said "yeah... Sure" Jason said

Toby's Pov
It was my first night back in town, and I decided to head to a bar. When I got there it was pretty calm, not many people. But about twenty minutes after I arrived m old friends came in, it was December 6th, Ali's 21st birthday.
After a few hours I noticed the girls getting pretty drunk. I decided I should head to my hotel, seeing as it was around midnight. I got up from my seat at the bar, paid, and walked out the door. I looked around, I missed this place, I stood there for a moment until I heard the door open behind me. I turned, only to find the love of my looking right at me "Toby?" She asked drunkly "hey, Spence" I said, she stumbled few steps closer and hugged me "I missed you" she said "I missed you too" I said. She looked up at me and blinked a few times "you're real" she mumbled still dazed. I decided I should take her home, but I didn't know where she lived, I decided to take her back to the hotel. I lead her to my car and opened the door for her.

General Pov
Toby brought Spencer to the hotel, he was staying at and brought her inside. He found is suitcase and pulled out a shirt "here, you can change in the bathroom" he said handing the shirt to Spencer. She looked at him like he was speaking French, he gently took her hand in his and lead her to the bathroom "here" he said giving he a slight shove. He closed the door behind her and found himself some pajama bottoms, he went into the kitchen area, that was out of the bathroom's view, and started undressing. Once he was in his pajamas he went and laid down on the bed. He heard a door open and Spence walked out wearing his shirt, he patted the spot next to him "come here" he said, she clumsily walked over and climbed under the covers next to him.

Spencer woke up in a strange bed, and she felt someone's arm around her torso, she slipped out a quietly as she could but as soon as she stood up she got a major headache, but that wasn't her biggest problem. She turned around to see who she was with. It was Toby. She gasped.

I don't know why I like to leave it on a cliff hanger, but I do. So I know some of you will hate me because Hanna isn't with Caleb, but I let you guys vote and Hanna and Mike had more votes than Hanna and Caleb. What is Spencer thinking, you'll find out soon. Hopefully not to many more time skips if any. Please review and the next chapter will be up faster. Longest Update so far!
