"I can't believe Liv ran away, again. Like didn't she do this when she relapsed the last time?" Coop asked. "You're not helping the situation" Patience told Coop. "You're really not. We just need to be hopeful that Spencer, Jordan, and Mrs. Baker will bring her home safe" Layla said. "I'm sure she's just upset about the fact that Spencer might be a dad" Patience and Layla were both shocked and confused. "What do you mean?" Coop realized she ran her mouth a little too much. "Coop?" Layla was waiting for her to explain. "Okay you can't tell Spencer because you know how he is. But Alicia came by after Spencer went to Crenshaw to pick Liv up from Mrs. Grace's. She told me Spencer has been avoiding her and broke up with her after she told him that she's pregnant" Patience and Layla were both speechless but had to act normal when Jordan, Laura, and Spencer came walking in the house. "Did you find her?" Patience stood up from the stool with Jordan shaking his head. "We have to keep looking" Spencer was frustrated and worried. "Spence we looked everywhere man. She could be anywhere—" Jordan was cut off. "Exactly J. We cannot stop until we find her" he was hostile. "Spencer please..." Laura tried to get him to calm down. "Coop..." he took a few steps forward staring at Coop. "Did you tell Alicia that me and Liv was at the carnival?" Layla and Patience were both nervous. "I did..." Coop stood up slowly "..only because she said you broke up with her because she's pregnant" Laura looked at Spencer. "I beg your pardon?" Spencer was furious. "That wasn't your damn business Coop. That's your problem you're always in everybody else's business instead of dealing with your own problems. She doesn't even know if she's pregnant or not. You just had to tell her where we were at. That wasn't your business to tell! If Liv hurts herself you're gonna deal with me" with that Spencer turned around and sprinted up the stairs. "Coop.." Laura shook her head with disappointment.
Spencer's POV
We couldn't find her. I wanted to keep searching for her but like J said, she could be anywhere at this point. She turned her phone off so nobody can reach her. What if she's hurt? What if she relapsed? I can't stop thinking about what J said about that bottle.. why didn't I just ask her about it? Would've made things worse with her already dealing with the loss of her pops and now finding out that I could be a father.. I'm losing so much hope right now. Everything is my fault..
"Please come home..." Spencer sat down on Olivia's bed not knowing what else to do. He placed his phone down besides him, laying back in the bed. Staring up at the ceiling as tears welled up in his eyes. Laura walked up the stairs to check on him. She stopped at the top of the stairs trying to reach Liv again. She sighed when it went straight to voicemail. She looked up and saw Spencer laying back in Olivia's bed. "Hey how are you holding up Spencer?" She walked in Olivia's room seeing him sit up on her bed. "I don't even know anymore Mrs. Baker" she walked over and sat down besides him. "Liv deals with things differently. She's always so strong and so willing to help others that she forgets that she needs to take care of herself too. The loss of Billy has taken everything inside of her. That was the first man she has ever loved. They have gotten so close after she relapsed that I could only imagine what she's going through. But family means the world to Liv. Even when she's hurting, she'll come around" Laura rubbed his back. "I wish I could believe that.. this is my fault..." he mumbled. "What's your fault?" She was confused. "Billy... Liv..." he let out a shaky sigh. "Spencer it isn't your fault. No one knew Billy wasn't..." she paused as she was choking. Clearing her throat so that she could speak once again. "Billy loved you like his own. I know you blame yourself but it's not going to bring Billy back. What I need you to do is grieve like we all are. Allow yourself to cry and be angry because we all are. But I also need you to kick ass on that field. Go harder than ever. Work hard to be the best athlete and student that you can be. Reach the NFL. Get married and have beautiful kids. That would make Billy happy. That'll keep his legacy alive. I believe in you Spencer and whatever you two are going through at this moment, Liv has your back no matter what. Because she loves you just as much as you love her" she looked over at him seeing him finally break. "Oh Spencer.." she gave him a hug as he finally started to cry hard. Jordan was walking up the stairs about to give Liv a call but stopped when he saw Spencer and his mom. "I want him back" he cried into her shoulder. Jordan's eyes were welling up with tears but his heart dropped when his phone started vibrating seeing that it was Liv. "It's Liv!" he shouted before putting the phone on speaker. Laura and Spencer rushed over with Spencer wiping his tears hoping that Liv was okay. "Jordan I am so sorry...." He could hear that she's crying. "It's okay honey, no need to apologize. Just tell me where you're at so that I can come and get you" he said. "I'm not sure if I'm ready to go home right now.. I just want to be alone.. you guys are gonna be so disappointed in me anyway.." Spencer looked down knowing he's a reason for her disappearance. "Liv we can talk about this. No one is disappointed, I promise. Everyone is just worried sick. Please come home" he begged. "Yes Liv, please sweetie. We all need each other more than ever. And I know you're hurting so badly right now baby girl, so please come home so mommy can hold you" Laura started crying.
