Chapter 3

This chapter is short. It is only Spencer's reaction to the story Jenna told her.

"A...Ali blinded you?" Spencer was shocked. "She always told us that some freak that used to live in town hurt you! I never knew Toby was put through that hell... I'm so sorry, I didn't know you went through that."

Jenna wanted to accept her kindness, but she couldn't. This girl was still a friend of the mean bitch that started all of this.

"I don't need your sympathy!" Jenna hissed.

"I know you probably hate me because I'm always with Ali," Spencer sighed. "I never knew what crap she put you through."

"This isn't just about me," Jenna shook her head. "This is also about the hell she put poor Toby through! I know what I did to him was wrong, but this was wronger. He's been away at reform school because of that bitch."

"So Ali's lied to us?" Spencer asked, shocked.

"It probably isn't the first time," Jenna rolled her eyes, a little surprised that Spencer hadn't figured out that Alison DiLaurentis lied all the time.

"Who's CeCe Drake?" Spencer asked. "I don't think I know her."

Jenna pointed to an older looking blonde. The ends of her blonde locks were curly, and she had a stunning figure and face. This girl was fashionable and gorgeous.

"That's CeCe Drake," Jenna said. "She works a bunch of shifts at The Brew and The Grille, whenever she has time. She's an older friend of Alison's. I used to think she might be a nice person, until I saw her with Alison the night... the night of the firecracker."

"It didn't seem like CeCe wanted to harm you," Spencer noted.

"I don't care!" Jenna cried. "She didn't stop that bitch from hurting Toby and me! She let Alison get away with her bitchy little plan."

"I'm so sorry..." Spencer said in a hushed tone.

"No you're not," Jenna angrily spoke. "You're only pretending to care because you've taken a liking to my brother. Sure, he has a mysteriously charming way, but you don't really care about him! You just think he's some hottie you can toy with. That's why you just want to keep digging into his past, and maybe start a relationship with him, and slut it up with him, and then dump him because of his past! That's so like Alison. Listen here, bitch- if you hurt my brother, that will be the end of you. Don't mess my Toby up."

"I-I didn't m-mean anything like that," Spencer mumbled. "I wasn't trying to start anything with him, I wasn't-"

"Sure you weren't," Jenna sarcastically said. "Just go. I know you don't care."

"Look Jenna, I don't know why you've already began disliking me, I wasn't the one that did that to you, it was Ali!" Spencer cried. "I do care about Toby. I know I don't know him well, but I think he's a great person with a wonderful personality. Alison's just shunned him back to the dark. I know you're going through a dark time, and I'm sorry about everything Ali and CeCe did, but I never would hurt Toby or you."

"You're one of them," Jenna sneered. "You're just like Alison, I can tell. Toby knows that, too."

"Toby does not think of me as an Alison!" Spencer felt offended. Then suddenly, Spencer realized that she was talking about Alison like she was some really bad insult. "We barely know each other!"

"I think we can all assume to what you really are," Jenna said.

"Please Jenna... I'm not the one trying to hurt you," Spencer sighed.

An immediate flash of guilt flew to Jenna's face. She gave Spencer an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry," Jenna apologized. "I just got really emotional... I hate thinking of the night that Alison put that firecracker in my garage. Toby tried to save me, but he couldn't. He jumped out of the house, and I tried. Everything just went black." Jenna started tearing up as she continued, "Toby was innocent, I promise you. He has a good heart, he would never hurt me like that. The officers told me that 'they'll take him off my chest', and then I knew what was happening. Toby was being shipped off to some jail. He wrote me letters from reform school, and told me about how terrible it was. He just wanted to come home. Alison really put us through hell, then. And then when his friend Emily Fields started ignoring him, he broke down into tears. We've been trying to get away from that screwed up past, but Alison finds some way to make everyone hate Toby. Please, don't hate Toby... He did no wrong. You can hate me, and I wouldn't give a shit. I've done so much wrong to Toby that I wouldn't blame you if you hated me. But Toby... He's a good kid. He has a great heart, and he's so kind. He didn't touch Alison. Everything she's said are lies! Please, don't shut him out if he cares about you. He could use a friend. Alison's taken most of his friends away from him. He has nothing."

Spencer almost felt like crying right now. "I would never shut him out for no reason. I'll make sure Emily knows that he's innocent. He hasn't lost me, and he will not lose Emily. I will make sure Alison knows that I know about what she's done. I won't tell her it was you that told me, though."

"Thank you," Jenna took a breath. "You're probably the nicest of the Alison posse, huh?"

Spencer chuckled, "That means a lot to hear. I hope Alison hasn't gone to Toby and told him to stay away from me or anything."

"I feel like you're a good person," Jenna smiled. "You could make Toby happy. Will you?"

"I would never betray him," Spencer said. "I promise I'd never leave his side for no reason. I want to get to know him better."

"There seems to be a lot of mysteriousness about him, but he's a great kid," Jenna assured Spencer. "Sure, he makes mistakes, but he only has good intentions, and I know that. Even after what Alison did to him, he's never once talked about revenge. I have, though. I've thought about countless ways to make Alison DiLaurentis suffer, but Toby told me it was wrong. Alison did what she did as an act of revenge, and look what insane things it amounted to. I probably am not going to lay a finger on Alison now."

"He does seem to have a good heart," Spencer smiled. "I'll talk to him in class tomorrow. Thanks for everything, Jenna. I'm so sorry... Have you thought about eye surgery? I know a doctor... Wren Kingston. He might give you a discount on an eye surgery if you say you know me. I'll let him know if you want."

"No, I haven't had eye surgery. Would you do that for me?" Jenna was flattered.

"Of course," Spencer said.

"Wonderful!" Jenna exclaimed. "I'll talk to my parents. So, I see you're not the bitch I thought you were."

"I'm glad you've changed your mind," Spencer was happy.

"I'll tell Toby that you're not who I thought you were," Jenna said. "I kind of told him some nasty things about you... They were just assumptions because of Alison, though. I promise."

"It's alright." Spencer said.
