"Then it's settled. I'll drop it off tomorrow morning."

"I don't see why I have to do this"

"You need the cash. You'll do it tommorow evening."

"Fine. I'll see you tommorow"

"Tommorow"

Spencer's p.o.v-

I collapse on the couch as soon as I get home from my stressful day at school. I'm about to fall asleep right there but I am interrupted by a knock at the door, I see that it's Toby and let him in. He doesn't look happy.

"Hey, everything okay?" I smiled, he looked up and he had tears glistening in his eyes. "Toby? What's going on?" He grabbed my hands and looked me in the eye. "Spencer.. After I say this you're gonna hate me, but I want you to know that I love you." At this I was getting concerned. "I don't think it's working between us. we need some seperate time. I-I love you" he blurted out.

With that he rushed out and left the door swinging behind him. I stood there with my mouth hanging open, trying to process what I just heard.   I grabbed my bag and ran after him "Toby! Toby wait!" I ran outside but he was nowhere to be seen, all I could see was a really nice, white car driving down the street, I looked around but had no luck, how did he get away that fast? I began to run down the street to his house, desperate for an explanation.

When I got there he was getting out of his car, but it wasn't his usual truck, it was that white car I saw earlier. "Toby."
"What? What do you want?" He snapped, I was a bit taken aback by his sudden outburst. "An answer. Yesterday you told me you loved me, and that you would never leave me, yet here you are breaking up with me? Tell me how you change your mind all of sudden. Please at least tell me what I've done." He turned to face me and took a breath, he looked like he was going to say something but then he let the breath out and stepped back. "I can't"

I groaned, why does everything I've ever had get taken away from me? "Why not? Toby please just tell me what I've done wrong, or why you don't wanna be in this relationship anymore, please can we at least be friends? I just-"
"I said I can't explain, Spencer! Why can't you just leave it alone!?"

"Because I don't want to leave it alone, I love you Toby, don't you get that? Does that mean anything to you?" He sighed "I just think that some people would like to see us apart." With that he turned and walked up the path. I stood there baffled. "Who are you talking about, your parents? My mom, my dad?" He flinched when I said my dad, but carried on walking. "It's my dad isn't it, Toby you shouldn't let him.." Suddenly the realisation hit me, I looked around as it all came together like pieces of a puzzle, "Toby? Where did you get all this stuff from?" He stopped walking again and just mumbled "I got paid" this was clearly a lie, because I know for a fact he got paid last week, and he gets paid once a month. "Wait." I stormed after him and grabbed his arm, turning him around to face me. "Did my dad pay you to break up with me?" He looked at me, guilt filled his eyes, he slowly nodded. I took a shaky breath "how much" he looked down at the floor and pulled a wad of cash out of his back pocket, I grabbed it and flicked through it "5,000!"
"That's what's left over" he whispered. I turned and sat down on the steps.

"oh my god" I put my head in my hands. Toby sat down beside me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Hey-" I shook his hand off "don't touch me"
"Spencer-"
"Why would you do that?" I looked up at him with tears in my eyes "why would you take money over me, especially from him!"

Toby's p.o.v -

I couldn't believe I had done it, at the time it felt like such a good idea but now? I can't believe I would do that to Spencer. Now here she was crying, what do I do? "Spencer, I needed the cash but I promise, that I love you, so, so much and you need to know that I was going to tell you, I was!" She sniffed and looked down "that's a lie" I put my arms around her, and this time she didn't shake me off. "I'm sorry" I whispered into her hair.  We sat like that for a few minutes until she suddenly stood up, knocking my balance for a second. "Where are you going?" She looked at me with a determined look in her eyes. "To see my dad" this couldn't be good. "Spencer wait!" But she was already halfway down the street.

When i finally got to Spencer's house I was out of breath and had a terrible stitch, I heard yelling from inside and swiftly slipped inside the door, shutting it behind me.
"How could you do that to me? To Toby!?"
"I was doing what's best for you-"
"Best for me? Or what's best for you?"
"Spencer! Hear me out here! That boy is bad news and I don't want him around my daughter!"
"He's not bad news dad, he loves me, and I love him. Why can't you see that?"
"He makes you think he loves you and he'll break your heart, I know he will"
"You don't know anything about him"
"Neither do you!"
"What? He tells me everything!"
"Only what he wants you to know"
I couldn't listen to this conversation anymore so I burst into the room and went to stand beside Spencer, she grabbed my hand and laced our fingers together. At this mr Hastings looked like he was going to explode.

He lifted a finger and pointed at me "get out of my house"
"Dad!" Spencer gasped "I don't want you in my house, or near my daughter, so get out"
"No, dad you can't kick him out. You can't just-"
"Spencer! Will you please shut up!? I'm doing what's best and this way you won't get hurt, this isn't your business so stay out of it!" I stepped In front of Spencer and closer to him "don't talk to her like that."
"Toby-"
"Don't tell me what to do"
"Dad-"
"Well don't speak to her that way"
"Will you stop talking about me like I'm not here please?!"

We both stopped and looked at Spencer, she stepped into the middle of us "stop it! Both of you! Dad, this is my business, it kind of happens to be my life you're messing with here, and Toby, I'll handle this okay?" I sighed and opened my mouth to say something but she cut me off. "Please."
"fine" I backed down, and shot her father a glare before leaving the room. I went to sit in the living room to wait for this to end.

After lots of muffled shouting Spencer finally emerged from the room with tears streaming down her face, she walked over to me and looked at me. "Sorry about that" she whispered. "Shh" I pulled her into my arms and she burst into tears. "Why is my life so hard?" Her voice was muffled against my chest

"It'll get better Spence, I promise you"
