Coming Clean pt. 2

Toby's POV

"Spencer sat there waiting for me to answer. How was I suppose to answer her question, when I already know what her reaction will be? She'll ebd up slapping me across the face then jumping up to leave as fast as her legs can carry her. I know how she feels about me, but she doesn't know how I feel about her. How I've felt for so long.

""I was coming over to your house, so I could talk to you," I said

"Is it something that couldn't wait until you were sober?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "It probably could have waited, but like I said, I was drunk and stupid. The whole thing was stupid. I came to talk to you when you hate me."

"She looked down at her hands while she said. "I don't hate you."

"I lifted my self up and leaned back against the pillows, so I could look at her. Did I hear her right? Did she really just say that she doesn't hate me?

"Wait you don't hate me?" I asked.

"She sighed while running a hand through her hair. "No."

"I shook my head. "But what about all those times where you said you did?"

"She threw her hands up. "I don't know, maybe because you kept saying you hated me. I never knew why and all those times you told me you hated me without giving me a reason why. I don't know I guess I kept getting mad. All of that anger grew and for a moment I thought that I did hate you, but I don't. I tried to hate you for the way you treated me, but I can't." She spoke more softly. "You were my best friend and I don't know what happened."

"You mean you don't remember?" I questioned.

"I don't know what I'm suppose to remember," she admitted. "All I remember is wanting to ask you to hang out that day then you started yelling at me for something I had no idea you were talking about."

"Are you telling me that you don't remember pretending to be my friend when you really hated me?"

Her mouth fell open in surprise.

"What?"

"Alison told me all about it. She told me she heard you in the girls restroom telling your friends how much you hated me. You said that you wished you never laid eyes on me and that I ruined your life. How could you say that about me? Was it because I got you in trouble? I apologized to you numerous times. You want to know the worst thing you did Spencer? You knew how I felt about you and you led me on."

For the first time ever Spencer looked really confused. She looked at me as if I had two heads. She opened her mouth a couple times to speak. Each time she opened her mouth, no words would come out. She looked even more confused then before.

"I never said that about you," she finally spoke.

My mouth went dry. "What?"

"I never said that I wished I never laid eyes on you or that you ruined my life. "

"You didn't?"

"No!" She exclaimed. "God and the fact that you would even think that."

"B-but Alison, she said..."

"Alison!" She shouted. "That bitch talked to you? God why can't she ever leave things alone?"

"Wait if you weren't talking about me, then who did you say all those mean things about?"

"Alison made me go out with this really weird guy that she knew. She said she was trying to be nice and set me up on a date. The guy ended up being four years older than me and he was a total pig. I felt weird around him. It was the worst date of my life. Alison kept blackmailing me to go out with him again and when I said no, she threatened to make my life hell."

"Oh," I said. "That explains a lot."

"Toby I didn't care that you got me in trouble. I told you the reason why I didn't talk to you after that was because of my parents, but you wouldn't listen. I was mad for a little while, but mostly at myself. I got over it."

I put my face in my hands and muttered. "Oh god, I'm an idiot."

"Why did you think I led you on?"

"I thought you knew how I felt about you."

"I thought you were my friend," she said.

"I was your friend, but later on I started to like you... As more than a friend and I thought you knew. That's why I thought you led me on."

"You like me." She choked.

I played with the blanket on my hospital bed. How am I going to tell her I love her? I've never done this before, accept maybe my mom a couple times when she was still alive. Even when my mom was alive I didn't say it much. Maybe two or three times. It was always in a family way not romantic. She's probably going to ask me if I know what love really feels like

I'm not even sure what love feels like. Maybe it's the warm feeling I get inside whenever I see her smile. It could be the way my heart beats faster anytime I hear her voice. It could be the way I get goose bumps whenever I feel her touch or her breath on my skin. Do people tend to get those feelings when they're around someone? Is that what love feels like?

"I did like you," I admitted. "But now um... I-I um... I love you."

I closed my eyes and waited for the palm of her hand to sting across my face. I waited a few seconds for a slap that never came. When I opened my eyes, Spencer was just sitting there staring at me. The blank expression on her face made it hard for me to know what she was thinking.

"How long?' She finally spoke.

"What?"

"How long have you loved me?"

"I started to love you when I came to your house that one night to return your sweater. That was the day I dropped you off from the airport at your house since you didn't have a ride. We sat in your house and talked about our future plans. I couldn't get over that look in your eyes when you talked about your dreams. You looked so beautiful and different. That was the moment I fell in love with you."

"That was over a month ago," she said.

"It may have been before that, but that's when I started to realize it. This whole thing is messed up, because I know you don't like me and probably never will..."

I was cut off by Spencer's lips crashing against mine. I was surprised at first, but did not hesitate to wrap my arms around her and kiss her back. She ran her fingers through my hair and kissed me like she's never kissed me before. My heart was beating so fast I was afraid it would pop out of my chest. My heart monitor should being going crazy right now.

"Finally!"

Spencer and I pulled apart when we heard Hanna's voice. We glanced at the doorway and blushed at those two standing there. I'm guessing they saw what just happened, but I don't care anymore. And by the looks of it Spencer doesn't seem to care too much either.

Hanna held up her hands and said. "I'm sorry, but I can't believe it took you guys this long to kiss. I never thought this day would come. I was afraid I would start growing grey hair before you two stubborn people realized that you're made for each other."

"I tried to keep her quiet," Caleb said. "But when she saw you two kiss she just couldn't keep it down."

"I wanted to see how long you two would kiss before you both started to suffocate."

"Gee Hanna," Spencer replied. "How nice of you."

Caleb and Hanna came in and sat around. By the looks on their faces, Spencer and I knew we would have to tell them everything. I looked at Spencer and she nodded in approval, so we told them everything. We told them about how this whole thing started. They kept quiet for most of the time, but sometimes Hanna had trouble keeping her mouth shut.

"Oh my god," Hanna said. "I can't believe that you two finally did it!"

"Who did it?" Aria said, while walking in.

Ezra, Emily, and Paige came walking in behind her. I didn't know they were all here too. Caleb and Spencer said they went home hours ago.

"What are you guys doing here?" Spencer asked.

"I thought you guys wouldn't be back until noon," Caleb added.

"It's almost 10am," Emily said.

"Who did what?" Aria asked.

"Spencer and Toby had sex!" Hanna exclaimed.

Everyone else looked at us in shook. Spencer and I tried hard not to blush. There's no turning back now. They all know the truth.

"Hanna," Ezra started. "It's not funny to joke about that kind of stuff right now."

"it's true," Caleb said. "They slept together."

"A lot!" Hanna empathized the lot.

Aria looked at Spencer for an answer.

"Spencer?"

Spencer looked down at her hands as she spoke. "It's true."

"Oh my god," was all Emily could say.

"So are you two together now?" Aria asked.

"I heard Toby admit that he loves Spencer," Hanna said.

"Aw I knew you loved Spencer," Ezra spoke in a teasing voice. Aria smacked him over the head and told him to stop being childish.

"We know that Toby loves Spencer," Maya said. "But does Spencer love Toby?"

Now everyone in the room was looking at Spencer. I hated how everyone was looking at her. I don't want her to feel pressured into saying something she doesn't mean. If I was her I would be feeling a lot of pressure right now. Spencer stopped playing with her hands and looked at me.

"You know I still think you're the most annoying person I've ever met," she spoke. "And you're an idiot for loving me."

"That's okay," I said. "I still think you're the most stubborn heard headed most annoying girl I've ever met."

"I"m not as annoying as you are."

I chuckled. "I beg to differ. You are so annoying."

"You're more annoying!"

"No i'm not!" I argued. "It's impossible for anyone to be more annoying than you!"

Spencer leaned forward and stared me right in the eyes. "You know what!?"

"What!?"

"I love you!"

I tried my best not to smile when I yelled back. "I love you too!"

Spencer leaned closer and pressed her lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around her to pull her closer. She moaned when I slipped my tongue between her lips. I almost forgot that our friends were in the room. That was until I heard them all clap and yell, "It's about damn time!"

Spencer and I pulled away smiling at each other. Then I kissed her forehead and allowed her to rest her head on my chest with my arm locked securely around her.

"Spencer," Aria spoke. "I'd hate to break this beautiful moment, but did you tell Toby yet?"

My eyes opened as I looked at Spencer. "Tell me what?"
