Mr. Toby Cavanaugh (A spoby story)

Time is of the essence

Spencer's POV
'I'll call you' he said as he kissed my head.
'I'll answer' I slowly let go of his hand and smiled at him.
'Goodbye spencer' he said as he turned to his house.
'Goodbye Toby' I smiled to myself.
'You know, you still have my jacket?' He grabbed my hand.
'I know and your never getting it back' we kissed again.
'I don't want it back, see you spencer' he retracted his hand and went inside.
I looked around to make sure no one was watching me then crossed the road.
It was still raining, by the time I reached the house it started hail stoning.
I quickly shut the door and pulled of my shoes, they were ruined. I was still smiling to myself, I looked up to be greeted by the whole family.
I stopped smiling 'hi.' I said as I went to the fridge.
'Where have you been?' I opened the fridge down.
'Nowhere' I smiled. I kept thinking about him, he was on my mind. Every second all I could think was of him.
'Well, you've clearly been somewhere, you are soaking!' Mum stood up and came over to the table. I closed the door.
'I was only with Alex, what's with the questions?' I wanted to tell her about Toby but I know how quick my family is to judge others.
'Spencer stop lying!' Dad slammed his hand down on the table, causing me to jump.
'I'm not lying!'
'Yes, Spencer you are. Alex came here to get his stuff. You split up with him.' Why had he come back here, what was I going to say. Oh sorry mum I was with the person you called a monster this morning.
'Did he say anything else?' I needed to buy time, I was desperate to think of any excuse.
Ring ring ring.
I looked down at my phone.
'Don't answer that. Who even is it?' Mum stepped towards me.
I looked down, it was Toby.
'It's just Aria' I locked my phone and started walking towards the stairs.
'Spencer, your not going anywhere until you explain why you're soaked and your dress is ruined, are you aware how much that dress costed.'
'Is that all you care about a stupid dress, it's water it dries. If you must know I was with Ben!'
'Ben?' Melissa came downstairs ' I thought you had split up' she stood behind me.
'Well we didn't! Now can I go get changed?' I looked at mum.
'Yes.' She rolled her eyes and looked at dad.
Once in my room I led on my bed and looked at my phone. I rang Toby back.
'Hey'
'Hey'
'I'm sorry I didn't answer'
'It's ok, I just called to hear your voice'
Knock knock.
'I need to go' I hung up.

Toby's POV
'Hello?' The line went dead. Mum opened the car door and got in.
'Who was you talking to?' She looked at my phone.
'Just a friend.'
We was going to pick Jenna up from some seeing eye school, I didn't want to go but mum insisted.
'Why is there bags in the back?' I noticed two rucksacks and a suitcase.
'Toby, your dad wants us to come and live in Ravenswood with him.'
'Mum. We can't.' I looked at her.
'Toby, you don't have a say. And it's better for Jenna there too.'
'Mum, things are more important here now. I can't just get up and go, there's people, there's..'
'Spencer Hastings?'
'I'm sorry what?' I sat forward.
'I know you was with Spencer Hastings before. What ever is going on with you and Spencer, you need to leave it. Toby, I'm not letting you get involved with them.
'Mum, I like her. And no matter what you say, or no matter how far you try and take me that won't change a thing. You can't take me to dads. Stop the car.'
'Toby I'm not listening to this, I'm not stopping the car and I'm you're going to your dads.' She looked at me.
'Mum please'
'MUM!'

Spencer's POV
'So how was your family dinner?' Aria and I walked down the corridor.
'Let's not talk about it.' I said as I opened my locked.
'Why? Did something bad happen?' She too opened her locker.
'I...I split up with Alex'
'You what?' She stared at me.
'Look, I don't want to talk about it, change the subject.'
'Ok, Erm... O' did you here about Toby Cavanaugh? She lent on my locker.
'What about him?' I looked at her.
'He was admitted to hospital last night, he was involved in a car accident.'
I slammed my locker shut.
'Is he ok?' I tried to act casual but my heart was thumbing.
'I'm not to sure, Noel said he's in a coma. But after the things he did to Jenna it was probably karma.
'Hmm.. Yeah I suppose. I just remembered I have to help my mum.' I quickly left the school and drove to the hospital.

'Hello, I'm here to see Toby Cavanaugh.' I was stood looking at the receptionist, she was peering at me through her glasses.
'And who are you?'  I knew that they would only let relatives or close friends in.
'I'm, I'm Jenna Cavanaugh. Toby's sister'
'Toby is in room 206' she went back reading her book.
I stood outside room 206, just staring at the door. I didn't know how bad he was, how serious it was. I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.

He led there motionless all wired up, he had a cut down the left hand side of his face and his arm in a cast. Seeing him like this, seeing him hurt was killing me.
'Toby' my heart wrenched.
I looked at the heart monitor, he was living of it. without he wouldn't be here.I walked over to the right side of the bed and sat in the torn old chair.
'I know you can't hear me Toby' I began shedding tears.
'But you listen to me, you have to..' I wiped my face and contained myself.
'You have to be ok, you have to come back to me. Toby please, I need you.. I need to tell you I..' The door swung open. I quickly wiped my eyes.
'You need to go' Mrs Cavanaugh stood there.
'Please, let me see him.'
'You've seen him, you can go unless you want your parents involved.' She knew, she knew about me and Toby.
'Is that a threat?' I didn't do good with people tempting me, I guess it runs in my family.
'I suppose it is.' She looked at me.
'You can't keep me away from him!'
'I can do what I want, I'm his mother. GET OUT!' She made my body shake, I grabbed my bag and hurried past her.

40 minutes later

She was finally leaving, I'd been standing by the vending machine waiting for her to leave. Once she'd gone I looked around me then slipped into the room. I walked over to him and placed my hand on his heart.
'Please Toby, please come back' I looked at his face, his beautiful face. I gentle stroked my hand over his check and held his little dimple on his chin. I sobbed uncontrollably, he meant so much to me and I'd never told him.
Beep beep beep.
The heart monitor had stopped. There was no pulse.
'Toby' I looked around me.
'Help, some please help!'
'Toby. Stay with me'
Two nurses came in.
'Help him, please it's stopped working'
A doctor came in a began pumping at his chest.
The placed two orange paddles on his chest and began using the defibrillator,
Sending a shock through his body.
'Miss, you need to leave.'
'I can't leave him'
Two security men came in a began dragging me outside the room.
'Toby! Please.' The door shut infront of me and I could no longer see him.
I feel against the wall and weeped.
'If they can't stabilise him, we will have to call time' a group of nurses was talking 5 feat away from me.

Was this the last time I was going to see him, was I going to lose him.
