The Great Discovery

Spencer's POV

I woke up with an arm wrapped around me and it wasn't my own. My whole body felt numb, but in a good way. When I tried to move I noticed that my whole body was tangled up in the sheets with somebody else's body. I moved the blankets to look at my legs and found them stuck between a pair of legs that seemed to belong to a man. The person I'm lying with is not a mystery to me anymore. I knew who I was with I just had trouble remembering where I am.

I know I came to Toby's house after I found Ian's stuff and after Ian tried to kill me. After banging on Toby's door for a minute or two, he finally let me in. He invited me inside let me take a shower and made me tea. Then he let me sleep here instead of going to some roach infested motel. I remember kissing him then him kissing me and somehow it lead to us having our limbs tangled up together.

I looked at him then at the clock across the room. It was only 6:25 am. It's not time to get up yet. It's Saturday, so I figured I could get some more sleep. I pulled the blankets around me and snuggled back against Toby's chest. Toby tightened his grip around me as he moved a little, but he didn't wake up. It's strange yet comforting to be wrapped up in his arms. It makes me feel safe. I closed my eyes again and drifted back to sleep.

Toby's POV

At 8:13 am, I started to wake up. I opened my eyes and felt my arm wrapped around someone's body. Of course my arm is wrapped around Spencer. After trying to stay away from her all week she came here in the middle of the night. It was dark, cold, and rainy outside, what was I supposed to do just leaver her out there to freeze and get sick? I let her come inside to get warmed up. Then I made her some tea while we sat down and talked. I let her spend the night here and we ended up sleeping on the same bed together. Then we ended up sleeping together.

Spencer is now currently lying on her side facing me. Her hand is tucked under her head and her chest is pressed up against mine. It took me a long time to realize that I was just lying here admiring her while rubbing my hand up and down her bare thigh. She didn't move or wake up at all. She just lied there looking peaceful. I wanted to kiss her. Not a kiss that usually leads to us having sex. I wanted to kiss her softly and slowly.

All of a sudden Spencer started flinching and whimpering in her sleep. I wondered what could be wrong. She wiggled around in my arms a little and held on to me like a child. That's when I realized that she's having a nightmare.

"Toby," she whimpered and held on to me tighter. Tears started streaming down her face. "Toby, please help me. Don't let him hurt me."

I couldn't stand to see her like this anymore. I rubbed her shoulder gently and called out her name. "Spencer."

She continued to whimper. "Please Toby." She moved even closer to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. Her face was buried into my chest. "No, don't leave me again."

"Spencer." I shook her a little more. "Spencer, wake up it's just a dream."

Spencer jolted awake and began panting heavily. Her eyes searched the room until they found me. Once her eyes found me she started crying. I wrapped my arm around her and started comforting her.

"Spence, what's wrong?"

She sniffled and whipped her nose using the back of her hand. "Nothing it was just a bad dream." She moved to sit up.

"What were you dreaming about?"

She shrugged. "It doesn't matter. It's not important."

"Of course it matters, you were crying."

"I was dreaming about Ian attacking me."

"Spencer, how often do you have these bad dreams?"

"I don't," She shrugged. "Maybe a couple nights a week."

"How long are you going to wait to tell your family about Ian?"

She shrugged again. "Until they catch him in the act."

"Spencer you can't do that."

"You're right they would probably grab some popcorn and wine to sit back and watch."

"Spencer if you don't tell your parents by the end of the week then I will."

She looked up in alarm, "What?"

I nodded and said, "I'm serious. This guy is clearly up to no good. He could hurt not just you , but somebody else."

"Toby you can't do that."

"I'm not just going to sit back and watch you get hurt!" I shouted.

Spencer threw the blankets off her and started dressing herself. She stomped around angrily as she searched the room for her clothes. I finally got out of bed and started dressing myself as well.

"Ugh where are my clothes!" She groaned.

"All you wore last night was my shirt, because your clothes are in the dryer."

She snatched up my blue shirt and pulled it down over her body. Then she stomped up the stairs. I followed her and watched her as she took her clothes out of the dryer. She put on the skirt that she was wearing last night and held her shirt in her hand. Spencer walked over to the front door, but I blocked her before she could leave.

"Spencer, where are you going?"

"I'm going home," she said.

"You can't go home with Ian around."

"Ian and Melissa are going back to their home in Philly, so I'll be fine."

"He attacked you even when he was supposed to be gone. Spencer, you're not safe in that house."

"I'll be fine."

She tried to open the door, but I stopped her. "And what are you going to do if he tries to kill you again come here? Spencer if you tell the police then you won't have to do that."

"If I tell the cops my parents will do anything to get Ian out of jail. Now just let it go Toby."

"Let it go? I'm just supposed to watch someone I care about get hurt?"

I moved away from the door when I heard footsteps walking up the driveway. Spencer tried to run into the kitchen, but it was too late. The door opened and my dad, his fiancé, and Jenna walked in. Spencer froze and turned around. Everyone looked at me then at Spencer then back at me. Jenna kept looking between me and Spencer with a scowl on her face. My dad might not be quick to put the pieces together, but Jenna is. I was home alone all night then they come home to see a girl standing in the middle of the living room wearing my shirt. I wish I could say nothing happened, but something did happen. A lot happened last night.

"Toby," my father spoke.

I gulped and said, "Father."

He pointed at Spencer. "Who is this?"

I looked between my dad and Spencer. Right now I'm stuck in an awkward place. I know my dad hates it when I have girls over. I remember last year I had a girl over, so we could work on a project. She was only here for an hour and my dad flipped out. Now he sees Spencer standing there wearing my shirt. I opened and closed my mouth severely times trying to make up a reason as to why she's here.

"Toby," my father spoke sternly. "I asked you a question."

Spencer stood beside me. "I'm Spencer, sir. Um last night I came here, because I needed help with my Physics homework and I know that Toby is really good at Physics, so I came here. While we were studying it started raining and it was late, so Toby let me spend the night here. You know kind of how you were nice enough to let two complete strangers spend the night here without asking Toby if it was okay with him."

My father stood there and looked at Spencer for the longest time. The he looked at me. "Is that what happened Toby?"

I nodded and said, "Yeah It's true. Spencer is pretty much clueless when it comes to Physics."

"Don't push it," Spencer whispered in my ear.

My dad looked between the two of us. "Okay then. Spencer you should probably get home now. You're parents are probably worried."

"I doubt it," Spencer mumbled under her breath. She faked a smile and said, "thank you sir and thanks Toby for the help."

"You're welcome," I said.

She gave me one last glance before walking out the front door. After Spencer walked out my father shut the door and walked into the kitchen. I sighed in relief when my father didn't push the subject any further. I ran back down to the basement, so I could get everything cleaned up. While I was doing that, I heard footsteps coming up behind me. Of course Janna was standing there when I turned around. She stood there with her arms crossed.

"What are you doing down here?" I asked.

"Your dad maybe stupid, but I'm not."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means I know why Spencer was here and I know what you two did."

"We just told you we were working on Physics."

Jenna chuckled darkly, "oh yeah I heard and I bet things got real physical between the two of you."

"Nothing happened."

Jenna smirked, "oh really? The sheets on your bed are pretty messed up."

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "So."

"I just never knew you were so wild in your bed."

Jenna smirked at me once more before walking back upstairs. When she was half way up the stairs she gestured towards the floor next to the night stand and said, "Oh and by the way you left your bra on the floor." I glanced around the room and spotted Spencer's black bra that she was wearing last night lying on the floor. Jenna giggled then continued up the stairs. Ugh I swear to god she better not say a word to anyone or else I'll kill her then Spencer will kill me.

On Monday when I arrived to school everyone was acting weird. Everyone was whispering and I didn't even know what they are talking about. Whenever I passed someone they would stop and stare at me. After I was gone they would go on whispering. When I was waiting in line to buy tickets for Winter Formal, I could hear a group of girls whispering behind me.

"Is that him?" One of the girls named Olivia whispered.

Alexis nodded and said, "Yes, that's him."

"I cannot believe the person he's sleeping with," Olivia said.

"I know it's disgusting," Alexis said and Nancy nodded in agreement.

After I got my tickets, I walked down the hall. Everyone continued to stare at me and whisper stuff about me. I had no idea what was going on. Spencer isn't at school today and that worried me a little. Does this have something to do with her too? What if someone found out that we're sleeping together? If someone did tell the whole school I bet it was Jenna.

I just got done lifting weights in class, when Caleb walked up. Ezra wasn't with him, because he had a college interview today. Caleb looked just as puzzled as everyone else in school. Now I'm convinced that whatever the rumor is that's going around school has to do with me.

"What's going on?" I asked, once Caleb was in front of me.

Caleb shrugged and said," Why don't you tell me? I thought we were buds who told each other everything."

I looked at him in confusion. "Of course we're buds, why would you ask that?"

"Toby I'm a guy and I understand that we feel it's in our nature to get in bed with as many girls as we can, but this is way out of your league."

Now I'm freaking out. "Caleb, what are you talking about?"

"Why didn't you tell me you slept with Jenna?"

My eyes widen, "what!?"

"That's just crazy man, I meant she's practically your stepsister."

"I never slept with Jenna!" I exclaimed. "Where did you hear that from?"

"I heard it from Noel."

"Now where did he hear it from?"

Caleb shrugged. "I don't know. I think Jenna told some people that you slept with her."

"I've never slept with Jenna."

Caleb looked at my back and said, "Then where did you get those claw marks from?"

I turned my head to look at them. "What?"

"You've got claw marks down your back. I know those kinds of marks. Those are the kind of marks girls leave on your back when you're banging them. If you're not sleeping with Jenna then how did you get those?"

"Nowhere," I said, while avoiding his gaze..

"If you're not telling me then that means what Jenna said is true."

I gestured for Caleb to fallow me and he did. I lead him to the locker room. Once we got there I made sure the room was cleared. Thank god nobody is in here.

I looked at Caleb and sighed, "if I tell you this you must swear never to tell anyone and I mean no one."

Caleb nodded and said, "Okay, I swear."

"I never slept with Jenna." I took a short pause before continuing. "I slept with Spencer."

Toby told Caleb! What do you think his reaction will be? How will Spencer react when she finds out? Do you think Spencer should tell the police about Ian or keep it a secret for now? Keep reading to find out. Please review!
