Chapter 18: Seeing her
We got home a little while later and I stayed in the barn until I realized we ran out of milk.
"I have to go to the main house" I said.
"You want me to go?" he said. I shook my head. What are the chances of me seeing her at midnight?
I walked into the main house and went to the fridge.
"Spence?" I heard her voice...that voice...
"Yea?" I said acting normal. She was the one terrorizing us...wanting us dead.
"oh I just heard the door open and I was wondering who it was"
"Who else would it be?" I said. Looking at her was so different now because of what I know. This person...she was in the room when I delivered my daughter...she was there for me throughout my pregnancy, but also during that time she was sending those texts.
"Oh...uh noone...whose over there with Meyson?" she asked. She doesn't know that Toby is back...I haven't told her and neither did my parents.
Should I tell her now? But I didn't have a chance to before he came in with Meyson.
"She was crying when you left" he said. I looked over at Melissa and she looked astonished to see him.
"Surprised he's not dead?" I said. She looked at me and I looked at her with all seriousness.
"Where's Ian, Melissa?" I said.
"What are you talking about?" she tried to deny it.
"We know your guys' secret...you, Jenna, Ian, and Paige and Noel.." I said.
"Spence...not now" Toby tried to stop me.
"No Toby...i want to hear what she has to say"
Her eyes were full of fear and tears by now.
"I trusted you with my daughter...you were there with me in the room...you knew about Toby...you knew this all along and you lied to me you sick bitch!" I said.
Our parents were out for a conference so it was just us.
"Let me explain"
"Fine...explain" I said sitting on the bar stool at the island.
"I hated you...we all hated you guys. You and the girls and Allison made our lives hell! So we found this way to get back you guys! And then when you became pregnant...i knew we needed to stop. I saw you mourn Toby...i saw you become a single mom I felt horrible! So we stopped because I didn't want Meyson to grow up like that! I stopped for her! We stopped for her!"
"You faked his death Melissa! We had a damn funeral for gods sake!"
"I know! It wasn't Ian! It was just someone that looked like him"
"You tortured us!"
"I'm sorry!"
"You think an apology is going to fix this! I trusted you! I thought our relationship was actually good for once!"
"How did you even find out!?"
I couldn't say anything.
"Someone sent us a picture" Toby said for me.
"A picture?"
"Yes...of all of you in a room with pictures of us behind you!"
She looked nervous.
"What's with the nervous look?"
"Nothing...look Spencer...please...don't go public with all of this...it's not going to happen again"
I looked at her and then at Toby.
"We can't go public with this Melissa...but I swear to god, one wrong move from you and I will kill you myself" I threatened her and walked out.
When we got back to the barn I was shaking.
"Spencer...calm down"
"No...i can't right now Toby."
My own sister would do that to me! To my friends! She helped ruin our lives!
"Where's Jenna?" I asked.
"I don't know...I haven't talked to them"
"I still can't believe all of this is happening..."
"Look at the bright side...all of this is over. A and that nightmare is over with for good. We can live in peace" he said. I looked deep into his eyes.
"You're right"
He is right...Melissa and them are scared of someone...maybe Alli? I don't know. Nor do I care. All I know is that i'm graduating, and I have my family together. I don't need my sister. I never needed her before and I sure as hell don't need her now.
