2.0 The Dream

The room was filled with figures in blue robes, everyone's mouth moved as if they were talking but Spencer couldn't hear anything. "Spencer Hastings" called out a tall dark figure wearing a black hoodie and black sweat pants. The figure was holding a rolled cream colored paper wrapped in red ribbon. Spencer stood up making her way to the front as hundreds of eyes followed. Once she was on the stage she took the paper from the figure and opened it on stage.

Rosewood High School Diploma

This Certifies That

Spencer Hastings

Has committed the crime of adultery and should be sentenced to Death.

Spencer's eyes grew wide, dropping the paper she looked into the crowd of blurry faces. Within the crowd there was a figure with curly mid-length blond hair. "Hanna?" Spencer said aloud. The blond girls face grew clearer and Spencer could see that it actually was Hanna. Her face was covered in a black sustain and her eyes were pink at if she was crying. The crowd of faces grew angry. Fire torches along with other weapons appeared in their hands. The tall black hooded figure ran towards her, clutching his hands around her neck. "STOP! PLEASE" Spencer screamed "PLEASE!".

Spencer jolted up, her breathing heightened as if she just got done running a 5k race. Sweat dripped down the back of her neck soaking the stray hairs that escaped her ponytail. Reaching for her phone she pushed the power button ready to end things with Caleb before they even happened. The bright blue screen popped up. 2 missed texted and 1 missed call.Both of the text was from Caleb and the call was from Toby. Opening the text it read.

"Did you make it home safe?"

-Caleb

*1 hour later*

"No response, now I'm worried"

-Caleb

Spencer replied telling Caleb she was fine and then returned Toby's call. Toby answered in a rusty voice, after all it was the middle of the night. "Hello?" he said

"Hey, it's me sorry I missed your call" Spencer said

"Spence, Why are you up this late? Not that I'm complaining. I miss you"

"I miss you too Toby" Spencer frowned. She did miss Toby but her hurt ached. She felt ashamed.

"Are you okay, Spence?"

"Yeah, I've had a cold the past couple of days"

"Spence you should get some sleep, I'll see you tomorrow"

"Tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I know we haven't spent much time together but I have the day off tomorrow and I'm dying to see you."

"I can't wait" Spence said trying to fake her excitement when really she didn't know if she could bare to face him. "See you tomorrow"

The next day the girls met up at The Brew. Emily untied her apron from around her waist and clocked out from her four hour shift. Aria and Spencer was drinking a cup of brewed coffee and Hanna was snacking on a croissant.

"Have you guys got anything strange of A lately?" Spencer asks trying to sound casual.

"No" Aria said leading in closer "Have you?"

"No, but don't you think it's a little strange?" Spencer says. Aria shrugs.

"Well I'm glad the bitch backed down" Hanna declares

"Soon we'll be graduates and off to college where we'll be rid of A for good." Emily suggests

"Hope so" Aria asks taking another sip of her coffee.

There conversation is cut short when a tall figure approaches them. It was Toby. He wore a jean fabric button down and a pair of black slacks. On his face he wore a wide grin. "Toby!" Spencer said jumping from the orange couch to embrace him. She wrapped her arms around him giving him a tight hug. "What are you doing here?"
