"I just miss her so much." Emily said.

"Well, She found a way to move on-I don't know how! You're amazing-but you should too." Toby said. Emily was great and all, but she needed to get over Maya. Sure she was her first love, and was torn from her arms, but Maya had been distant and obviously hooking up with someone else.

"It's not that simple." Emily said.

"Listen. Do you want to be the victim? Or do you ant to be happy?" Toby asked. Emily stared at the ground, thinking. Then she looked up.

"I want to be happy." She said. Toby smiled. He put his arm around her.

"You don't have to forget, remembering will make you strong." Toby said.

"Thanks for everything, you know... with my parents." Emily said looking at the ground.

"No problem. What else are friends for?" Toby asked.

"You are a great friend." Spencer said. "And one day I'm sure Spencer will like you."

"Thanks.." Toby said, not registering the second part, but when he did her looked up. "What! What? How did you know?" Toby asked.

"Please, Toby! I'm not blind!" Emily exclaimed. Well, I have to go meet up with Spencer." Emily said.

"Okay." Toby said getting up. "Meet up later?"

"Well I have a thing with the girls.. Tomorrow?" Emily asked.

"Sure."Toby said with a smile. One time Emily told him that she loved how he always found the good. He was always happy. That's far from true, but Emily is very persistent. Toby's mom dies a while ago, but he managed to survive, who knows how, but he did.

"Bye!" Emily said as she left. He could see Spencer in the distance. Reading. Toby knows Spencer barely knows he exists but Toby definitely knows she does. She's his woman crush Wednesday every week. If he used social media. To water this down, Toby was in love with her. The had never spoken, except when she spilled coffee in him in junior high. Toby's best friend, Caleb, is the only one who knows his feelings towards Spencer.

"How's it like, being completely in love with someone you'll never have?" He would ask. Toby never answered. Caleb was dating Hanna, they were completely perfect for each other. He never went out with them as much as they (Caleb) begged, he was afraid he would say something about Spencer. He probably would, knowing him.

Once Emily left Toby opened his book,Catcher in the Rye. School was almost over, he thought to himself. Toby closed his book and got up. He walked back into the school to read, reading outside was giving him a headache. Once inside he sat on a bench outside the detention and once again opened his book. He wanted to finish it again, just to refresh. You never know if one day Spencer was going to start talking to him, and mention this book. Just as Toby actually started to read, There Spencer was, beautiful as ever. Emily was there too. Soon Emily went in and Spencer was laughing outside. Toby was probably staring at her too long, because she looked his way. Toby quickly looked down at his book. He just couldn't get over her perfect brown wavy hair, or her doughy brown eyes, or her perfect curved lips... When Toby was brought back to reality Emily Spencer and Aria were talking. Toby looked at them, and Emily noticed and smiled. Toby smiled back. He looked back down at his book, but really he was thinking about Spencer. He alays imagine if Spencer would actually take interest...

"Hey, Toby... is it?" She would ask.

"Yeah.."

"Well... I think I'm in love with you." She would whisper in her perfect voice.

"I... I do too."

"Your in Love with your self?" Spencer asks.

"No. I mea-"

"Come on Cavanaugh! Get into you're head. Put the book away. Schools over and you need to leave." Spencer said.

"What?"

Just then Toby was sucked back into reality as the janitor was yelling at him. Toby got up and put his book in his bag.

"Uh.. Sorry," He said running out of the door and into the court yard. As Toby walked home he decided he didn't want to go home, so he turned around and made his way to the Brew. It wasn't a long walk, it is Rosewood still. He paused outside when he Saw Spencer and her friends in there.

"Come, on! Toby you can do this." He said to himself. Then he took a deep breath as he opened the door. He looked around for a table that he could see Spencer, but she couldn't see him. Just as he found the right one he heard Emily call his name.

"Toby!" She called patting a seat between her and Spencer. Toby took in a breath and walked over. Emily motioned for him to sit and he did. He had never been this close to Spencer before. It felt nice, their arms were touching. She was smiling. She was laughing. She was beautiful. After a while Spencer froze out. She was staring at her hand, that was inches away from his. His cheeks turned a bright crimson as their fingers brushed.

"Spencer! Spencer?" Emily was saying.

"Yes?" Spencer said.

"Oh.. I thought you were dead or something.." Emily said kicking Toby's foot.

"No.. Just thinking about UPenn." Spencer said.

"Spencer. You're a freshman." Hanna said.

"But I have to get in." Spencer said.

"Just because your whole family went there doesn't mean you do." Aria said.

"Yes I do! You guys have no idea whats riding on this for me!" Spencer exclaimed.

"Spencer. Your parents will only be a little disappointed." Hanna said. "It doesn't matter. You're still their daughter."

"No. You don;t get it. My whole family went their. Its the school I have to go. If I don't... I guess I lost my only family." Spencer said as she got up and ran out. Emily looked at Toby and raise her eyebrows. Toby raised his back. Emily jerked her head towards the door demandingly. Toby sighed and got up. When he walked outside Spencer was crying on the bench with her head in her hands. He sat down next to her and put his hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him confused.

"Toby?" She whispered.

"Yeah." He said. Toby was so nervous his hand was shaking.

"You probably don't understand.." Spencer said quietly.

"I don't, but I could try." Toby said.

"My parents... They don't love me unless I succeed." Spencer said in-between sobs.

"I'm sure that's not true." Toby said.

"It is.." Spencer said.

"Spencer..." Toby whispered. Spencer looked at him and then fell into him. Her sobs were shaking her whole body. She put her arms around his waist and just sobbed. Toby held her, and he loved it. He had never thought this would ever happen. Spencer pulled away and put her hands in her lap.

"I'm sorry." She said quietly.

"Don't be." Toby said.

"You're actually, pretty great." Spencer said, wiping a tear.

"You are too." Toby said. Spencer laughed and got up.

"I know what you're probably thinking." Spencer said.

"No, I don't think you do." Toby whispered.

"I'm not a stuck up rich girl who vies for attention with multiple lovers." Spencer said.

"I never thought that. Not even for a second." Toby said.

"Really?" Spencer asked. "Because apparently Noel Kahn does." Spencer said sitting back down.

"I'll kick his ass." Toby said.

"You don't know me. Why are you being so nice?" Spencer asked.

"Because I'm nice." Toby said laughing. Spencer playfully slapped him.

"Wow, I feel as though you're my therapist." Spencer said laughing.

"I could be if you wanted me to. Diagnosis, Cuteness." Toby said with a fake clipboard. Spencer blushed.

"More like selfish rich girl with daddy issues." Spencer said.

"No..." Toby said. When he looked down he saw their fingers were touching, Spencer laughed as his face turned deep red.

"Never held hands with a girl?" Spencer asked. Toby shook his head, his face red as a beet. Spencer grabbed his hand and smiled. "First handhold." Spencer said. "I believe that's a mile stone." Toby's face was so red that Spencer laughed. Toby hung his head low, staring their hands. Toby was so nervous, excited, in love, scared, and happy all at once. This was the most amazing time of his life.

"Spence!" Toby heard Emily's voice. Toby looked at her and Emily's eyes trailed down to their hands. "Oh. Never mind. You two have fun. But not too much fun, you cant have a kid when you go to UPenn." Emily said with a knowing grin. Spencer's face turned red and she puled her hand away.

"We should probably get in there." She said quietly. Toby nodded. Spencer got up and hurried back inside. Toby took out his phone and Texted Emily. Then he left.

Toby woke up to a loud knocking on his front door. His eyes were still sleepily half closed. He lazily got up and opened the door.

"Hello?" He said sleepily. When no one answered he opened his eyes all the way to see Spencer there in shock. At first he didn't realize why, until he noticed he was only wearing his boxers. His face reddened as he quickly ran up and put some pants on. When he got back down Spencer was at the door, staring at the ground.

"Heyy. Sorry about that." He said sheepishly.

"It's okay, It's not like it was the worst thing to see." Spencer said, and then it was her turn to redden.

"Soo. Do you want to come in?" He asked.

"Sure.." She replied. Toby moved out of the way so she could go in.

"Jenna's out with my parents so yeah." Toby said.

"Oh.." Spencer said her blush deepening.

"Here sit." Toby said pointing to the spot next to where he just sat.

"Uh thanks." Spencer said sitting down. "Actually I came to apologize." Spencer said. "For yesterday."

"It's okay." Toby said. "Not a burden at all. It's not every day you get to console a beautiful girl." Toby said, causing Spencer to blush.

"I'm not beautiful." Spencer said.

"Yes you are." Toby said, grabbing her hand.

"Second time. We must be great friends." Spencer said blushing a veeery deep shade of red. She scooted a little closer, Toby presumed she had to grab something, but she didn't.

"No.. I wouldn't say friends." Toby said. Spencer's face fell. "I'm your therapist." Toby said, "I think that means best friend. Spencer smiled. Toby leaned in closer to her. Their lips were about to touch when Spencer jumped up.

"I should go." She said running out of the door.
