A Summer in Paris: a Spoby story

Chapter 24

Spencer's POV:

"Before I start I just want you to know that I love you. You are my whole world. Please save all judgements and comments until I'm done or else I won't be able to get through it and you need to know this." "I love you too. What's going on?" "Shhh no comments or judgements okay?" He nods his head and stares at me with worried waiting eyes. I take a deep breath and start. "It started with Ali, when she chose us to be her new friends. We all grew really close and we would do anything for her. Each of us shared are secrets with her, but not with the whole group at the time... only Ali. We thought she was our friend and would never do anything to hurt us. We all know each others secrets now and they seem minimal now, but not back then. Mine was that I was in love with Ian, my sister boyfriend. I know now that I wasn't but back then I thought I was. Ian and I kissed, once, and I told Ali. She told me that if I didn't tell Melissa she would, but I couldn't tell Melissa and add to our hateful relationship. Ali didn't tell Melissa but she held it over my head. She held all of our secrets over our heads. She would drop little hints to us whenever we did something she didn't like. None of us knew it unless it was directed towards us. One night we were all at Ali's for a sleepover. We were in her room trying on clothes and having fun when she stopped and said there was someone watching us from outside her window. None of us saw them only Ali. When we asked who it was she said it was... you. She said that she wanted to teach you a lesson, so we followed her as she stomped out of the house and across the street to yours. She saw that you were in the tree house and she saw the fireworks. She climbed up, lit the firework, looked in and dropped the firework in. She jumped down from the ladder as fast as she could and ran and we followed. When we heard the ambulance and fire trucks we came back to see Jenna being put into the ambulance and you standing on the sidewalk. Ali marched over to you and said something that we couldn't hear then marched back to us and told us to go back inside. We did and the next morning you were taking the blame for blinding Jenna. A few days later Ali gave us all bracelets with our names on them and said that we were never to tell anyone about the Jenna Thing and they were binding that secret. When she went missing we were all devastated that we had lost our best friend, but also a little relieved that there was no one to hold anything over us anymore. We all grew apart without her though, until they found her body. But we didn't come back together because of that. We came back together because we all started getting these texts from someone that we didn't know, -A.
