Spencer's POV

A few days later Toby and I were still not in a good place with our relationship.Talking turned into fighting. I'm just trying to help Toby but it's like he doesn't want my help. What's even worse is that Toby and I are not even sleeping in the same room. Some nights I get the bed and Toby gets the couch and other nights he gets the bed and I get the couch. Also the one thing I hate about living with all my friends is that they always want to get involved when ever one of us has a fight with our boyfriend.

Today was one of my off days because I forgot to bring two of the textbooks I needed for my UCLA classes. Luckily they were afternoon classes so I was heading back home right now to get them. When I got home I noticed a police car in the driveway. I walked inside the house and I wasn't sure who was home at the time. I noticed Toby was in the kitchen talking with Caleb, Jason, and the LAPD police chief. I didn't want to interrupt the conversation so I just listened from the room right next to the kitchen.

"I go to court on February 14th and then what?" Toby asked

"As of now you are facing a maximum fine of $250, 000 and up to 5 years of jail." The LAPD Chief said

"That seems unreasonable considering that Toby could have died." Caleb said

"I realize that but someone in the LAPD did die and someone else was critically injured." The LAPD Chief said

"Toby is not a bad person. The guy responsible for this is not on the police force." Jason said

"Toby, you need to get a lawyer." The LAPD Chief said

A few minutes later the police chief left. Caleb and Jason also left leaving Toby and I alone.

"Spence, what are you doing here?" Toby asked

"I forgot the textbooks for my afternoon UCLA classes." I said

"How much of that conversation did you hear?" Toby asked

"Do you really have to go to court on Valentines Day?" I asked

"Spence, it was either February 14th or July 10th when we are supposed to be in London for Melissa's wedding." Toby said

"I'm not going to my sisters wedding if you are in jail Toby." I said

"No matter what happens to me you are going to Melissa's wedding even if you have to take Caleb in my place." Toby said

"You have to let me help you Toby." I said

"Spence, I need you to ask your parents to be my Lawyers. It's our only hope right now." Toby said

"I will call them later but I can't promise anything Toby." I said

I left the house and went back to school. After my two afternoon classes were over I went back home. I didn't want to call my parents and ask them to help Toby but he was right, this is only hope of things working out for us. Toby was siting right next to me when I made the call. My dad answered the phone. I was hoping to talk to my mom but she wasn't available to talk at the time I called.

"Toby and I really need your help with something." I said and explained the situation Toby was in.

"Can I talk to Toby?" Mr. Hastings asked

I handed Toby the phone and he left the room to talk. About 15 minutes later Toby walked back into the room.

"Is my dad going to help us?" I asked
