Mr. Toby Cavanaugh (A spoby story)

Everything to nothing

4 days later
'Toby' I reached forward and grab his shoulder, he tenses. 'I'm so sorry' I kneel down next to him. He's sobbing uncontrollably. I look into his beautiful blue eyes glistening with tears.
'The last thing I said was I hate you'
'Toby is going to be ok.'
He stares at me, just blinking. Then lowers his head.
'Hey, it's going to be ok' I hold the underneath of his chin. 'Do you hear me, it's all going to be ok' I wipe his tears away.
He slowly looks up and passionately kisses me then suddenly stops.
'I need to be alone' I watch him walk over to the door.
'Toby, I'm not leaving you alone'
'Spencer, stop give me space' he raises his voice leaving me there speechless.
The door shuts behind him. I walk over to the couch and slump my head into my hands.

24hrs earlier.

Toby's POV
I was sat in a cold, dark room. Imagining what takes place in these rooms. How many faces had seen its walls. How many people had walked its floors.It's was an eerie place.
'What is your name?'
'Toby Cavanaugh'
'What is your age'
'19 years old'
'We have a series of question we would like to ask before we offer you the job'
'Yes, sir'

Spencer's POV
I stretched then turned over to Toby.
'Good morning' I turned over, he wasn't there.
'Toby?'
'Toby?' I shouted. No reply. I got out of bed and walked over to the unit, a note attached:
Spencer,
Meet me at the park at 3pm
Love Toby xx
I smiled to myself, before hearing a knock at the door. I walked over and opened it.
'What do you want?' I stared at Yvonne.
'Rude much, just the person I wanted to see.' She looked at my clothes. I was wearing Toby's top, Im guessing she could tell it wasn't mine.
'Did you not get the picture when I threw water on your head?'
She rolled her eyes then continued.
'Any ways, Toby left early this morning with another girl. Thought you deserved to know' I just looked at her, all the bullshit that was spreading from her mouth was like a contagious disease, she was that bug that wouldn't leave.
'Goodbye Yvonne' I shut the door. And laughed to myself. If I believe one word the came out of her mouth Id be in jail by now.

Toby's POV
'Well Toby I am pleased to offer you the job.'
'Thankyou!' I shook his hand.
'You start on Monday Toby, see you then.'
I walked out of the building to see Yvonne standing by the Benches.
'What are you doing here, following me?' I walk over to her.
'No, well yes. But I'm trying to tell you that Spencer is not happy with you. She thinks you ran away with another girl this morning.'
'Seriously, Yvonne am I suppose to believe you?' I turned away.
'Why would you not Toby?'
'You've been to Spencer already this morning, share the same tales.'
'Of course she's notified you. Of course she has.'
I continued walking, she was full of lies. Her favourite hobby was lying. She made it so simple that lying was something everyone does. Honest is clearly no longer the best policy. But lying gets you in trouble, gets you in prison.

Spencer's POV
I wasn't quite sure why Toby had wanted to met at the park and not and home but he was bound to have a reason.
Not even seeing him for a few hours was hard, I couldn't imagine a day without him.
The time was 2:30. I was getting ready to go when there was another knock at the door.
'If this is Yvonne again, I swear to god I will not be held for my own actions'
I swung open the door.
'Melissa?'
'Spencer, can I come in?'
'Sure'
'This is a nice place Toby's got.' She stood looking around the room.
'Why are you here Melissa?' I sat on the couch.
'Spencer, mum and dad are divorcing'
'What' I stood up.
'I've tried to keep them together.'
'Why, are they divorcing Melissa?'
'Because mum wants you home and dad wants you to stay here.'
'They're divorcing over.. Me?'
'Yes Spencer. It's like I'm invisible. I've tried to stop them. Tried to encourage them to work things out but it's like world war 3 in our house.'
'I'm not coming home Melissa, mum and dad will work it out.'
'Spencer I'm not so sure.'
'What are you not telling me?' I handed her a cup of tea.
'You need to sit down.'

Toby's POV
I was sat, waiting for Spencer. She was 10minutes late and its Spencer she's never late. I began thinking back to that room. The time I would Spend in those room. Looking at the guilty, the innocent and the plain stupid.
'I'm so sorry I was late. Melissa came round'
'Hey' I stood up and kissed her.
She returned my kiss.
'I've missed you so much'
'Spencer it's been 9hrs?'
'That's too long.' I kissed her again and held her tight.
'I got a job' I smiled at her.
'You did, where?'
'Say hello to officer Toby.'
'Officer Toby, I like it' she leant forward and kissed me.
'Toby, that's great!!'
'I start on Monday'
'I'm so proud of you.
She leant forward to kiss me.
Ring ring ring...
I declined the call and kissed her.
Ring ring ring...
'Toby just answer it' she laughed.

Spencer's POV
I was so proud of Toby, he was now officer Toby. He had just taken a phone call.
'Hello'
'Yes it is'
'She's what?' I saw his smile change, it faded.
'Toby.' I whispered and grabbed his hand.
'Yes I'll come right away.'
He hung up the phone. And sat motionless.
'Toby..'
'My mum...she's' he cupped his mouth.
'Toby..'
'She's been in a horrific accident..they don't think she'll make it Spencer..' He gulped.
I didn't say anything I just looked at him.
'Will you come with me to the.. Hospital..'
'Of course I will, come on I'll drive.'

Rosewood Hospital
30 minutes later.

I was sat wait for Toby outside of his mums room 376. I'd been waiting for sometime. I hoped Toby was ok. I hope Mrs Cavanaugh was ok.
The door opened.
'Toby...are you..' I saw the tears down his face.
'She's gone..Spencer..' He stepped forward.
I grabbed him. And held him.

Toby's flat
'Toby' I reached forward and grab his shoulder, he tenses. 'I'm so sorry' I kneel down next to him. He's sobbing uncontrollably. I look into his beautiful blue eyes glistening with tears.
'The last thing I said was I hate you'
