2 days later.

Toby's POV
Everything is going good, I've pretty much avoid the quarterbacks in the last 2 days. I mean I've received glares from Ben but no threats or attacks.
Not including the quarterbacks I think I've settled in fairly well. Today, I an going to talk to Spencer. I need to I have this undying urge to talk to her.

Spencer's POV
I am feeling great today, I have my sunglasses on and I'm rocking my new designer bag. Personally, I think the bag is ugly but I have to meet everyone's expectations. The bag was Melissa's idea, no wonder I don't like it. Its summer and yet it still feels like winter, everyone is in jeans and long sleeved tops. I however, am wearing a white half cut short sleeved top and high waisted blue Jeans.Today, I am going to talk to Toby, I mean just to see how he is. I get out my metallic white Range Rover and head towards the school gates.

Toby's POV
My heart is pounding, thumbing so hard in my chest I feel like it's going to come out. I'm late today, slept through my alarm and of course mum didn't wake me up, she's waiting for every excuse to remove me from Rosewood high. By the time I driven here it's break, 11:25pm to be exact. Once I've been to the office, break is over so I quicken my pace to science.

Spencer's POV
Science is after break, and I am already late. I need to stop being late, I'm running out of excuses. At least I'm not by myself, Aria is with me. Sadly, she isn't in my lesson. It has just started to downpour as me and aria try to cross the yard, once in the science block we take a detour to the toilets to check our hair of course. Well if your going to be late, at least make it a reasonable amount to call it late. 
'Come on Spence' Aria says as she opens the door.
'I'm coming'
'Ah, I was waiting to see you here' Ben says as he looks down my top.
'Eyes' I said a cover my chest.
Ben is with Noel, this is strange seeing them together, unless there is something in it for both of them.
'Aria, I was wondering if I could borrow you?' Noel says as he grabs Aria's shoulder.
'Make it quick' she says as she follows him round the corner.
'Guess that leaves us' Ben says as he steps towards me.
'What us Ben? There is no us , now move, I'm going to my lesson' I step sideways and try to walk past him. He grasps at my wrist,
'get off me!' I snap.
'No, now listen to me!'
'Ben I don't want to listen to you' I pull his hand of my wrist, I head towards science.
'Did I say you could walk away from me?' He comes behind me and grabs my neck.
'Ben!' I can barely breathe.
'stop, Ben stop!
Suddenly, everything happens in a flash. His grip loosens and I slip down the wall.
'Toby?' I attempt to talk no sound comes out.
'She said get of her!' Toby grabs Ben and Rams him against the lockers.
'And if it isn't Toby Cavanaugh, come to save poor Spencer Hastings' Ben laugh as he pushes Toby back.
*smack* I wasn't expecting that, Ben drops to the floor, Toby stands there clutching his hand.
Toby runs towards me, he places his hand on my back and helps me up.
'Are you ok?'  I look into his blue eyes.
I nod, and wrap my arms round him. A hug to say thanks.
Ben gets up, and runs.
'He's going to get you done,Toby! Go'
'Spencer I'm not going' my name sound: so special when he says it.
'Toby my office now!' Mr Parker beckons
'thank you' I whisper as he releases his grip on me and follows Parker. Parker was the most stuck up teacher in the whole school, he wouldn't let this drop, I just stand there worrying about Toby.

Toby's POV
My sock is soaked, how badly I need new shoes. I get into the science block and see Aria and Noel go down the side of the lockers, I hesitate wondering if Spencer was with her but then I dismiss the thoughts and continuing looking for s2.
As I turn the corner I see Ben and Spencer standing very close to each other. I pretend I don't see them and carry on, who am I kidding I can't ignore the fact he is a jerk and she is alone with him. I stopped and stand in the middle of the corridor contemplating what to do.
'Stop Ben, stop' that's it I not listening to this, I won't let anyone touch this girl, I'd protect her even if she doesn't need me, even if she isn't mine to protect.I see him grabbing her throat and it makes me so angry that I could kill him. I pull him back and ram him against the lockers. I glance towards Spencer, she is so shook up.
'Save poor Spencer' that's it he's snapped my fuse, I lash at him, smacking him across the face. He drops to the floor. I have no regrets on what I've just done, I did it for her.
'Are you ok?' I look into her brown eyes, I wish I could have just met her with none of this.
Of course Ben being the snitch he is has to dob me in,
'Toby my office now!' I'm so done for.

'So Toby, what happened with Ben today?' His voice sounds so patronising.
'He was' I start.
'I didn't ask what he was doing, I asked what you was doing' he starts to raise his voice.
'Ok, I rammed him against the lockers and smacked him across the face' I sarcastically smirk at him.
'Toby and is that acceptable?'
'Well actually'
'I said is that acceptable' by now he is standing over me, shouting so loud I can hardly hear my own thoughts.
'No, sir' I say as I rest my eyes on the clock.
There's a knock at the door.
I look round to see Spencer.
'Come in Spencer'
'Sir, I can't let Toby be held responsible for Bens actions. Ben was hurting me and Toby hit him in my defence.' She looks at me and smiles .
'Spencer leave now, you have said what you needed to.' She was going to reply but she stops and leaves.
'Toby, I am suspending you for two days'
'But' I lean forward.
'But nothing, now get your stuff and go home.' He points towards the door.

The Cavanaugh house.

'Your teacher called, suspended for two days Toby, toby are you listening me?'
'Yes, I can hear you, crystal clear' I  refuse to look her in the eyes. All I can see is shame when I look at her. Disappointed in her only son, I have been a disappointment since the day I was born.
'Never mind two days suspension, that's nothing' I look at her, she is being kind, this isn't my mother.
'What I mean Toby is two days doesn't matter because you're not going back to that school, I warned you!' This is my mother, she hates the thing she created.
'Mum, I can explain' I try
'Toby, no explanation, your erotic behaviour has caused this, now get out of my sight, go to your room'

I lie on my bed staring pointlessly at the wall. I hear a noise against the window, I ignore it. I hear it three more times then open my window. A pebble hits me in the face.
'Spencer?'
'Toby'
'What are you doing here?'
'Come down, I need to talk'
I climb out of my window and down the drain pipe, mum won't notice I was gone, it's not Like she cares.

Spencer's POV
I watch him climb down the drain pipe desperate not to fall.
'How did you know where I lived?'
'Truth be told Toby I live across the road from you'
'Spencer, you shouldn't be here.'
' I just wanted to say thanks, what you did today was'
'Nothing, Spencer I did what was the honourable thing to do.'
This boy, he isn't like the others he's different.
'I'll see you when you come back to school Toby' I want to say more, I want to stretch every second, every moment to see his smile, and his beautiful blue eyes.
'Goodbye spencer'
I stop, and think.
'Toby' I just want to know him, to know him, not like this.
'Goodbye Toby'

Toby's POV
'Truth be told I live across the road from you' all I can think about is how I am leaving.
'Spencer you shouldn't be here' I need her to go, I can't see her knowing it's going to be the last.
'I just wanted to say thanks, what you did today was'
'It was the honourable thing to do' I want to tell her, tell her how I feel but I can't, I have to let go.
'I'll see you when you come back to school' only if she knew, maybe I should tell her, no now is not the time.
'Goodbye spencer' as those words leave my lips, I know it was the last goodbye, and yet she doesn't even know.
'Goodbye Toby'
'Goodbye' I mutter, as I climb up the drain pipe.

Spencer POV
The Cavanaugh house has been sold,
He knew he was leaving again,
He didn't tell me.
