Hell Brides Wedding
Toby's POV
In our lives there are so many things that we want to tell people. Once we do something or learn something exciting we just have to tell someone about it. There are things that we're happy to share with people and there are some things we wish we never said. Caleb stood there with a blank expression. His eyes were wide and his jaw was buried underneath the floor. He's been standing like that for a few minutes.
"Caleb," I bumped his shoulder. "Say something."
All of a sudden Caleb started bursting with laugher. He held a hand over his chest and continued to laugh as if I just told him a funny joke. His face is turning from red to purple in a matter of seconds. After hearing him laugh for a while, I frowned.
Caleb started speaking over his laugher. "You and Spencer? That's a good one. Now what's the real story?"
I clenched my jaw, "that is the story."
Caleb laughed again, "Yeah right. Like you and Spencer would ever sleep together. You two don't even like to hug."
"Caleb I'm telling you the truth. Spencer is the one I've been sleeping with."
Caleb's face turned serious, "oh my god. You and Spencer?"
I nodded my head and sat down on the bench in the locker room. Caleb ran a hand through his hair and sighed. The he sat next to me on the bench. Neither one of us said a word for a while. Caleb was the first one to break the silence.
"How did this happen?"
"I can't say I promised Spencer. Actually we promised each other that we wouldn't say a word to anybody."
"Can you tell me how long this has been going on?"
"It's been going on for about a month. I went over to her place one night and we started arguing. Then I kissed her and it just happened."
"Why did you keep it going?"
"Well we both agreed that it should never happen again, but then we talked more about it while we were in D.C and after we both agreed to never do it again we ended up doing it again."
Caleb shot up. "You guys slept together twice!"
"More than twice," I admitted.
"Oh my god, so are you two a couple now?"
"No, we just sleep together some times for right now."
"What does that mean?'
I shrugged and said, "It means for right now. We'll end it eventually. Once Spencer finds out I told someone it will be over."
Caleb sat next to me again. "You don't seem too happy about the thought of it being over."
"I could care less about what's going to happen."
"Yeah you do. Do you have feelings for Spencer?"
I looked down and sighed. "I don't know."
"Does she have feelings for you?"
I huffed a laugh, "yeah a feeling of hate."
"You're probably going to yell at me, deny it, or fight me about it, but it seems to me that you do have feelings for Spencer."
"I'm not going to argue about it anymore."
"So what are you saying?"
"I'm saying I think you're right." I looked over at Caleb. "I think I do have feelings for Spencer."
"Wow, what are you going to do?"
"I don't know, but right now I have to go tell Spencer what I told you."
"Are you going to tell her that you might like her?"
I stopped at the door and said, "not unless I want to stay alive."
Spencer's POV
"You did what!?"
My whole body was shaking and I could feel my face turning red. I felt so betrayed right now. After everything and all of the promises we made. God we even agreed to keep our mouths shut and then he goes off and tells his friends! I bet he gave each of them a high five and added me to the list of girls he's slept with. Toby placed a hand on my shoulder to try to calm me down.
"Don't touch me," I hissed, while pulling away from him.
"Spencer I'm sorry, but I didn't have a choice."
"What do you mean you didn't have a choice!?" I exclaimed. "We both swore we wouldn't tell anyone and then you told your friends."
"I only told Caleb and I made him swear not to tell anyone."
"Oh right like you swore you wouldn't tell anyone."
"Would you at least let me explain why?"
I turned my back on him and crossed my arms, "I can't believe you told him."
"So what if people know about us?"
I spun right back around, "There is no us!"
"Spencer," Toby sighed and put his hands together. "Please just let me explain."
"I supposed you told him all the other stuff I told you as well."
"No I didn't I swear. The only reason I told him was because he bought some stupid rumor that was being said about me around school."
"What rumor?"
"Jenna found out that we're sleeping together and I think she made up a rumor about us sleeping together to get back at me."
"Why would she do that? Why wouldn't she just tell everyone that it was us?"
"Because she wants it to happen."
Toby sighed and sat down on the motel bed. Instead of going home, I decided to rent a room at the Edgewood Motor court for a few days. I've been staying here since Sunday and tomorrow will be my last day. This motel kind of sucks. The T.V doesn't work. The beds lumpy and no matter how high the heat is on, it's always cold in here. The warn water barely works and last night there was a couple staying in the room beside mine. It was not secret that those two loved each other a lot.
"What do you mean Jenna wants it to happen?" I asked.
'A couple weeks ago Jenna tried putting moves on me and I wasn't interested. Jenna wanted me, but I hate her. After I turned her down she threatened to ruin my life and now I think this is her doing it."
"She's going to be you're stepsister. What's wrong with her?"
He shrugged, "I don't know. It's not right in so many ways. For one she's going to be my stepsister. Two I hate her and I don't think it's right to sleep with someone you hate."
"Then why did you sleep with me?"
He looked at me, "what?"
"You just said that you don't think it's right for someone to sleep with someone you hate. You hate me, so why did you sleep with me?"
"You're different."
"How am I different?"
"For one thing you're not my stepsister."
"I'm still someone you hate and honestly I never understood why."
"What do you mean?'
"Ever since that first day when you told me you hated me I've always wondered why? What did I do? Was it because I had no choice but to shut you out for weeks? Was it something I said?"
He stopped me from going on. "How could you not know what you did?'
I gave him a puzzled look. "Toby if it was because I ignored you for a couple weeks, it was because my parents banned me from talking to you. That day I wanted to explain it to you."
Toby started heading for the door. "I can't talk about this now."
"Then when are we going to talk about it, because we never did."
He looked at me with his hand on the door knob. "It's too late to talk about that now." Then he opened the door and walked out without saying another word.
Toby's POV
Saturday was my dad's wedding. It was a small wedding with just me, my dad, Charlotte, Jenna, my cousin Ricky, my aunt Chelsea, Charlotte's parents, and a couple old family friends. I wasn't really looking forward to being here. My dad wouldn't let me invite my friends, so I was bored out of my mind the whole time. My dad did allow Jenna to invite two of her friends here. That pissed me off. Jenna's the golden child in this family and she's probably going to end up getting everything she wants. Well not everything she wants.
I'm slowly turning into the black sheep of the family. Just like what Spencer said. You're in the family, but you live in your siblings shadow and nothing you do is good enough for the family. After the wedding ceremony ended, everyone was moved to the grand hall for the reception. Everyone else headed for the desert bar and I headed for the bar. When I sat down I ordered two scotches to start with. The alcohol burned as it went down my throat the first time, but eventually I got used to it. Before I knew it I was moving on to my second.
My cousin Ricky and a couple of his buddies walked over to the bar. They laughed and sat around me. I was ordering my third when they sat down.
Ricky slapped me playfully on the back. "What's up little cuz?'
"Hey Ricky," I mumbled.
"What are you doing?"
I shrugged, "just doing some drinking."
"Oh I see and who's the girl?"
I looked at him. "What makes you think this is about a girl?"
He held up my half empty cup, "because you're drinking scotch." Ricky nodded at the bartender and said, "Give me a beer."
"I'm just drinking for fun," I said.
"Yeah don't worry," he said, while patting my back. " By the time you get to your next shot you'll be telling your big cousin all about it."
Instead of ordering another scotch, I ordered myself a bottle of whiskey. When the bartender asked if I was alright to continue, I told him I was fine. He shrugged it off then handed me a new bottle.
Ricky shook his head at me, "Wow. A whole bottle of whisky? You must have it bad for this girl."
General POV
When Toby was half way done with the bottle he started drunk rambling. He had no clue what he was saying to people. Ricky and his buddies would laugh at everything he did. That was until he started talking about her.
"Spencer," Toby slurred. "She's so pretty and smart and that hair. Her hair is brown and perfect. And her eyes oh man those eyes. It's like looking into a cup of hot coffee. She's so beautiful."
Ricky patted him on the back. "Take it easy man. I think you've had enough."
One of Ricky's friends peeled the bottle of whisky away from his hand. Toby tried to argue and take it back, but Ricky started escorting him away from the bar. Ricky led him to the coat room and allowed him to sit down, while his friends called a cab for him. Ricky sat with him, while they waited for the cab to show up.
"Okay," Ricky said. "Why don't you tell me more about this girl?"
Toby shook his head and groaned. "No, she's not just a girl, she's my girl. Spencer's perfect and beautiful and amazing. She has the prettiest smile and the cutest laugh." Toby sighed just thinking about it. "Oh man her laugh is the best sound. It's better than any song playing on the radio. Spencer is everything to me. She doesn't think that much about me. I'm not good enough for her. Spencer would never look at me that way. Spencer's my girl and I love her." Toby buried his face into his hands and cried. "Spencer, why doesn't she love me?"
Ricky patted his back as he stood up. "I'm going to go check on your cab." He walked to the door. "Don't move I'll be right back."
Toby's drunken thoughts are telling him to get up and go talk to Spencer. He stumbled as he got off the chair. He held his car keys in his hands as he stumbled out the back door. Driving while he's drunk is probably not a good idea, but he feels he has to talk to Spencer now. He gets into his car and drives out of the parking lot on the way to Spencer's house. That's the last thing he can remember and everything else was a blur.
Cliffhanger! What do you think will happen next? Aw poor sad drunk Toby. Toby just admitted his feelings! Does he really love Spencer or were those his drunk thoughts speaking for him?
I'm kind of disappointed by the lack of reviews the past couple chapters. I want to know your thoughts people and predictions. Don't be afraid to share. Thank you all for reading stay tuned for next chapter.
