It means the world to me and it gives me the courage to keep writing.
I had this idea of Toby calling since the third chapter but somehow I didn't knew what to do. Now I know how to get him out of here. I hate him! He broke Spencer's heart.
Anyways.
Leave a review and I promise I will feed my goldfish. :)
CHAPTER 11
Phone call
I decided to call Emily while Caleb was at the computer doing what he does best: his job.
We were tracking Toby's number so we could go and kick his unexistant balls. We needed to settle some things before I marry Emily. I wanted her to be safe and for Toby not to show at our wedding... or our lives. I speed dialed her and she picked up at the first ring.
-Hello, lover.
-Hello, lover. How are you? - I could hear some laughs in the back
-I'm great.-I lied. I was pretty fucked up. Angry and worry and tired.- Tired, but great… how about you? How's your day?
-Good. I'm actually with the girls, at Aria's. - Then Malcolm and Francis must be there.
-How's Malcolm? And Francis?-I asked.
-They are fine, P. Malcolm wants to hang one of these days you are not with Caleb…- I could hear her hurt through the phone, but some things needed to be done.
-I know, Em. It's just that… We'll be over with this soon. And I'm always with you at night. - I tried to excuse myself in a very pitiful way.
-I love you, Paige. –She knew how to crack me and make me feel bad and good at the same time.
-I know.-But two can play a game, so I speak to her in my cocky and teasing voice.
-So… do I get to see you tonight? - She asks, teasing me. Like I don't know what's through her mind!
-You get to see me tonight… all of me. - And again, I tease back.
-So, I'll wait for you.-I got her. She's so mine tonight!
-I'm so looking forward-Caleb stares at me and then motion me to go to his computer saying "I got it" in a very low voice. –Em, I gotta go. I'll call you when I'm on my way home. I'll see you later lover.
And I hung up.
-I got him, Paige! I so fucking got him…- says my friend with excitement.
-Where is he?
-According to my skills, which are pretty bad ass, he is here. Somewhere close to UPenn.
-Awesome!- I was so happy Caleb was able to find him and on the other hand, he was confirming our fear. Toby was close to us.- I can't believe that asshole has the courage to show up here.
-Me neither, P.- He sighed and covered his face with his hands- I don't get why is he not hiding. He called us from a traceable number; he called us from the bus station at Chicago. I just don't get it…
-What does he want from us? - I was interrupted by Caleb's phone ringing.
-It's him.-he showed me the phone where the name Toby Cavanaugh appeared in the screen. - Rivers.
-No Marin, uh? - I could hear the call since Caleb decided to put the speaker on- Hi, McCullers!
-What do you want, Toby? - I asked, not playing dumb about me not being there.
-It's easy. I have a package I need to deliver to the girls… it's my last job and then I'm free. I'm supposed to deliver it when everyone was settled and with a happy life.
-But you just couldn't wait, right? - Caleb asked.
-No. Plus I know, Paige here already has… she has everyone covered.
-You are such a coward, Cavanaugh. - I said, not knowing what else to say.
-So, I was thinking… I will reject the invitation to the wedding as long as you do 2 favors for me.
-Like hell we will do anything for you! - Caleb said. - I once consider you an ally and a friend, Toby. And you hurt our friends…
-Let him talk, Caleb- I said in a whisper.
-Well done, Paige. Let me finish before you send me to hell…
-What do you want? - I ask angrier than anything.
-I will give you the package I need to deliver. That way no one will know it was me. I want you to stop looking for me and I want you to clear my name. - He said as we both stare at each other with confusion. "Looking for him"? We just started doing it…- I have a paper I need you to sign. Both of you… it explains how I didn't have anything to do with Emily's accident.
-You are out of your mind if you think we'll do something like that and not turn you to the police.- I could see my friend was angry. I was considering on doing as he said so he wouldn't bother us at all.
-Fine. I'll see you at the wedding, best man!
-No. – I said as I looked at Caleb to calm him down- We'll sign that shit. But we'll sign it after the wedding… that way I'll make sure you don't show up. And you will give us the mistery package and leave us the fuck alone.
Flat silence. He was considering the option.
-Ok. After the wedding, it'll be.-he hung up.
A package? What did it had?
-You are really considering on playing things his way, Paige?- Caleb asked me with concern in his eyes.
-I can't let him ruin my wedding, Caleb.- she wasn't too convinced either but it looked as if they didn't have a choice- I can't let the girls see him.
-I know.-he said dealing with the problem.
-Let's go home.- I said- there's nothing we can do now. We are only waiting.
