Chapter Twelve

We all have that one friend who over time we lose touch with. You think 'hmm maybe I'll call so and so today' But, you don't. Not because you hate them or anything, or they done something wrong. You simply drift away, you move, life goes on and you grow in different directions. And then we all have that one friend, who you never resolved things with. That friend who you stopped being friends with at one point or another because of a argument, or a fight, or a boy...or a girl. Like the other situation, sometimes you think to call them, and try to resolve things. But, you back out of it because it would be too weird. It is simply too late.

Several weeks later, and it was suddenly the middle of July. Things were moving along for everyone, even Wren. Wren was going to physical therapy, and moved from his cast, to his wheel chair. His mother and father even came to town to visit their only son. Spencer was starting her nursing job at the hospital, and becoming closer and closer with Aria and Ezra again. So close in fact, that after Wren fully healed she was moving in with the couple, who said it would be good for her. Being with Toby was too weird. Not to mention, having unresolved feelings for him, he also used to be her best friend. It's like they were just mutual friends of Wren nowadays. Meanwhile, Toby was getting closer and closer to Hanna. A little too close in Spencer's eyes.

"Wren," Spencer scampered through the door. "I have a new set of cards for you!" She yelled. "From Some young ladies that may be interested in more than your well being." She teased with a giggle. "Wren?" She yelled again after a pause.

"He isn't home." Came Toby's voice from down the hall. Spencer stood frazzled. Wren wasn't home? Where could he possibly go without one of them driving him. She followed Toby's voice, which led her to the small bathroom, where shaving cream was smeared across his face. He must be getting ready to see his girlfriend or whatever she is, Spencer thought to her self bitterly, accompanied by an eye roll.

"What do you mean he isn't home?" She said sharply, her forehead knitted. She didn't mean to sound like such a bitch, but it's not like Toby had been the sweetest guy to her lately or anything either. With him avoiding her half the time.

"His parents picked him up like an hour ago to get dinner." Toby said his eyes on the mirror and avoiding Spencer's eyes.

"Oh," She stepped back slightly.

"Yeah," He said awkwardly.

"Well," She itched her arm pursing her lips looking at the beige carpet. "Alright then." She rolled her shoulders back and went off to her room to change out of her scrubs. She was meeting with Melissa tonight. Just the thought made her cringe. But, she was helping out Wren and he was basically her best friend. Spencer, was planning on bringing Wren along, but she didn't expect him to really have plans. She cursed at herself for forgetting his parents were visiting, they've been here for the past two weeks. It seems they should have left by now. And Spencer wasn't going to dare ask Toby to come along with her.

After switching out of her scrubs, and throwing on white silk blouse, and a black pencil skirt. Then putting her hair up into a braided bun, and plastering make up on her face, then spraying perfume all over herself. She looked fancy enough for the restrictions of the very extravegant restaurant Melissa had chosen. Spencer was surprised to see Toby still home, that he almost scared her when she heard his voice as she scavenged through her purse for her dark burgundy lip stick.

"Are you going out?" He asked.

"Yeah," She mumbled picking up her purse and giving up on the lip stick. She slung the purse over her shoulder, and stood awkwardly in front of Toby. When did it get this bad?

"A date?" He asked meekly. Spencer opened her mouth to speak, but why not have some fun? If Spencer told him she was meeting her sister, he might ask why and Spencer really didn't feel like explaining. But mostly, she wanted to make him jealous.

"Uh yeah." She mumbled slightly furrowing her eye brows with uncertainty. She watched Toby as he clenched his left fist, and his thumb twitch in the other. Was it just a coincidence? Or did he have feelings for her.

"Have fun." He said his voice low.

"Thanks," She bit her lip. She wasn't leaving for another fifteen minutes. "Why are you avoiding me." She blurted.

"What?" he darted his blue eyes up at her.

"I'm not dumb-"

"I know you're not." He sputtered.

"Well then tell me why, because this is how I see it." She gulped her voice sharp. "You kissed me, then you start acting like I have cooties, and totally cut me out of your life." She rushed out anger filling the harsh words.

"I've just been busy." He mumbled rolling his eyes down at the counter he was in front off. It was true, he had been busy. With his new girlfriend, and with his project, and taking care of Wren. But, that shouldn't mean that he avoids her around the apartment when she's home, and when he happens to be home too.

"Fine." She crossed her arms with a shrug of her shoulders. "You've been busy." She snapped bitterly. "But, what about times like this." She threw her hands up gesturing at the situation.

"We're talking now." He said like he was talking to a five year old.

"We aren't talking!" She snapped fluttering her eyes frustrated. "We're fighting!" She stomped her two inch heel.

"Well-" He stuttered. "I don't know what you want me to say."

"Just," She shrugged. "Whatever." She threw her hands up in the air before storming out the door.

Toby sighed.

He missed Spencer so much. He couldn't even determine which was worse, falling harder for her each day and never being able to be with her. Or not getting to talk to her, or hangout with her. Either way he wasn't going to end up with her. So what the hell was he doing? He had Hanna now, maybe things would be different. He rushed out the door and Spencer was already halfway down the hall.

"Spencer," He jogged up to her. Spencer turned on her heal, confusion washing over her aggravated face.

"I'm sorry." He said boring into her coffee bean eyes as her forehead knitted. "I've been an asshole." He admitted. "I don't want to lose you as a friend, you're important to me." He stuttered. "Do you want to hangout on Friday night? Just us?" He gulped nervously.

"Um," She mumbled. "Fine," She sighed closing her eyes. She darted her eyes open, "But if you end up blowing me off, I'm done." She clarified.

"I promise you. I won't." He said.

"Okay," She bit her lip. "Well I really got to go." She rolled her head towards the elevator. "So i'll see you soon." She said softly as she turned back on her heal and walked around the corner. Toby took a deep breath in. He didn't want to lose Spencer, and losing her was exactly what he didn't want in the first place.
