"You're just in luck, we have one room left. Room 214" The lady regains eye contact with me. Wait a second, did she just say room 214.

"You've got to be kidding me" I sigh.

After unpacking what I had put in my bag into the drawers inside the motel room, I walk over to the bed and sit on the edge with my phone in my hand. Unlocking it, I go to type a message to Andrew to meet me at the brew. It's for Toby. I need Toby safe. I continue to repeat to myself.

"Hi Andrew, I've come back for a few days and I was wondering if we could meet at the brew so I can see a familiar face considering everything has changed around here. -Spencer"

Within seconds I receive a reply accepting my offer and to meet him there now. Walking into the bathroom, I look into the mirror and see my reflection. Taking a deep breath, I walk back out to the main room and grab my jacket, closing the door behind me.

Toby's POV

Chucking my phone and bottle of water down onto the sofa, I begin to walk towards the bathroom to take a shower when I'm stopped, hearing my phone bleep meaning that I have a text. Walking back I wipe the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand, taking my phone from the sofa.

"Can we meet at the brew urgently? -Yvonne x"

Yvonne is the first girl I've been with since Spencer, even after five years I can't forget Spencer and everything we went through. I know I was the one who broke up with her but I had a lot on my plate at that time and I regret it. But I'm over her. I love Yvonne, I think.

Taking my zip-up hoodie which was placed over the sofa, I walk out of the door and make my way to the brew to meet Yvonne.

Considering I still live above the brew it took me a matter of seconds to reach the entrance. Placing my phone in my pocket I open the door and hear the light sound of the bell signalises the door was open. As I scan the room, I notice a familiar face staring at a blonde boy. I step closer, letting the door close behind me, as I begin to study the girl in more detail. Oh my god, Spencer Hastings is back in Rosewood.

Making sure I'm not seen by Spencer, I go and join the line waiting to order their daily dose of caffeine. "How have you been Spencer?" I recognise the voice. Andrew Campbell.

Spencer wouldn't date him. Would she?

I can feel my blood boil just thinking about it. I storm out of the line and out of the brew. Once again, I take out my phone and text Yvonne apologising that I can't meet her at the brew but her response confused me.

"I never asked to meet you today, I'm in class -Yvonne xx"

Back to Spencer's POV

Arriving at the brew I scan the room and my eyes land on Andrew waiting patiently at a table. As I walk towards him I continue to tell myself that I'm doing this for Toby. Reaching the table, I see Andrew smile and open his arms signalising he wants a hug. I take my hand from my side and shake his hand. Sitting down I hear the entrance bell ring, then a few seconds later shut again. Obviously someone wasn't in the mood for coffee.

"How have you been Spencer?" I hear Andrew begin to make conversation. Looking up at him I notice the innocent in his eyes, the innocent which my friends and I took away once he was accused of being Charles.

"I've been good, but Andrew I really need to tell you something.." I reply.

"What's that Spencer?" Andrew asks intrigued.

"You're adopted. I don't know the full details but you're one hundred percent adopted" I blurt out.

Before leaving the table, I look at Andrew to see a tear running down his face.

"I'm so sorry, I had to tell you" I attempt to justify my actions. Running out of the brew I knew I did what I had to do.

"Toby saw you and Andrew and stormed out in rage, could his feelings for you be stuck in his heart of a cage? But the real question is, can you save him in time? -A"
