A/N My mom took my computer away because she thinks I blog too much -_- But as soon as I got it back, I uploaded this chapter for you all. I hope you like it! If there's anything that you would like to see happen after this chapter, tell me in the reviews! I have an idea in mind that will play out soon, but if you have any others I'd be glad to include those too! If you think you know what my idea is, tell me! I'd like to know if you've gotten a hint ;)

Chapter 6

"I know you want answers." Spencer finally said. She turned around, trying to avoid eye contact with Toby.

Sarcastically, Toby replied, "That would be nice."

"This isn't going to be easy for me. Or for you. I've thought about telling you this for a really long time. And before I do, I want you to know that what I'm about to tell you is dangerous information."

"What kind of danger are you implying here?" Toby asked

"The same danger that kept me away from you."

"I understand."

"Good. Would you still like to hear this?" Spencer asked, cautiously

"I need to. I don't want you to need to hide things from me, Spencer."

Spencer took a sip of her tea. "I'm being watched. We're being watched. Hanna and Aria and Emily and I. We're being blackmailed."

"What? This makes no sense! What could anyone use against you girls?"

"Lies."

"What lies?" Toby looked confused

"It started with lies that Ali made us tell. Secrets she made us keep."

"That girl was no good." There was anger in Toby's eyes.

"Those lies tumbled into more lies, and intertwined with questionable decisions." Spencer said regretfully

"Why haven't you done something about it? You should tell someone!"

"I can't."

"But why not?" Toby questioned

"We made a promise! We're too deep in this mess to get out, okay?"

"A promise made to a person like Alison is never worth keeping."

"I wish I knew that before."

"Who is doing this to you?" Toby was concerned.

"We don't know. The person is anonymous."

"Well, whoever it is, they won't be anonymous for much longer."

"No! Toby, you don't understand! This isn't going to help any of us. Trust me. This person is setting us up. They are setting you up too. Trust me. Don't try to find them. You're asking for trouble."

Toby replied with a stressed exhale. He got up from the couch, looked down at Spencer and said, "Spencer, I care about you a lot. I need to protect you as well as I can. I understand the risks. I get where you're coming from. But I need to protect you. Because I love you more than anyone else in this world."

Spencer was blushing. "Toby… I know I can't change your mind. But, try, for me, not to get hurt. Please, be careful. And don't do anything before you think it through. Please."

"Spence, I would do anything in this world to keep you safe from any harm. This needs to end. And I promise- I will always be here for you. You, miss, are not allowed to push me away EVER again. I need you, and you need me. Together, we're the greatest support system ever built."

"Toby, so, you mean, that you want me here with you, forever?"

Toby smiled "Yes, forever." He took hold of her gorgeous face and kissed her forehead. "You'll go off to college, and I'll follow you wherever you go. Then, we'll get married, and spend our time snuggling by the fire. We'll have a baby- a newborn with a six pack…" They both giggled. "And grow old together. Hopefully, our heavily muscled child will care for us enough to keep us out of a nursing home!"

Spencer's face scrunched as she laughed. "Toby- I have always loved you. I have not spent one second thinking about anyone else but you. I want to protect you, too. So please, don't do anything without telling me first."

"Alright Spence. I think we have a deal."

"Yes. We do."

Spencer and Toby sat, holding hands and watching the fire on that cold night. Spencer rested her tired head on Toby's shoulder while he rubbed her leg. "You make a wonderful pillow." Spencer said. She felt a sense of comfort and security sitting with Toby. Like no one could ever get to her.

"I try my best- especially for you." Toby replied lovingly

"I wish that you and I could stay right here forever" The words came out of Spencer's mouth before she realized what she said. "I didn't really mean that… I think I'd be happier somewhere out of Rosewood. Preferably far, far away from here."

"I agree. We can't stay here." Toby said. "This would be a terrible place to raise our newborn with a six-pack!"

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I liked it a lot! I was more proud of my first couple of chapters, but I think that this one was nice too!
