Toby's POV
Spencer's bump was just beginning to show, we knew it was going to be a little boy now and the names had be a continuous topic. Jacob, Liam, Sebastian and Luke was just a few suggestions. I was watching Spencer stood looking out the window, she was wearing a bridesmaid dress, Arias wedding was today and she obviously wanted Spencer to be a bridesmaid. The dress was a violet colour with a black waist band and a white rose, it was unique. Spencer looked stunning. However the weather outside was certainly not stunning at all.

Spencer's POV
I looked at Toby attempting to do his tie, no matter how many times that I would show him how to fasten a tie he would still be useless at it. The weather was appalling, the wind was crazy, the rain was pounding what a miserable day for a beautiful wedding. I was shocked how early in life Aria wanted to get married, I know I wouldn't but yet again I guess she was confident her love for that guy would last. I'm not saying that my love won't last for Toby, I will always love him. I laugh at him still attempting to do his tie.
'Come here' I pull him towards me.
'Toby? Do we have to go?' I looked back at the window.
'We have to, it's Arias big day' he placed his hand on my shoulder.
'I know but look at the weather, I just hate weather like this.' It's unnerved me. Something about today just didn't seem right.
'Its going to be fine, it's indoors anyway' he laughed and walked over to the fridge.
'Toby..'
'Yes?'
'Never mind. We ready to go?' I grabbed my bag and headed to the door. Toby was right this was Arias big day and it would be wrong of me to miss it.

The window wipers was barely managing to clear the rain. The water was splashing up alongside the truck.
'It's miserable isn't it' I looked at Toby.
'Never been so bad' he's eyes was focused on the road.
'Do you..'
'Have you seen..'
'You first' I insisted.
'Have you seen Arias dress?'
'Yes I have, it's gorgeous its Arias type of style but it's nice' I was looking out the window the trees had little raindrops dripping from them.
'That's good... Who's the groom?'
'She won't tell me..been dating him for 3 months or something.' Why was Toby asking these questions...
'Is that long enough to marry someone?'
'I don't know I guess its up to her'
'But 3 months Spence..'
'Toby, it's up to her.'
'Would you marry after 3 months?'
'No, but I'm not Aria.'
Silence fell.
'Do you think about marriage?' I turned back to Toby.
'Yes all the time do you? ' he quickly glanced at me then looked back at the road.
'No not really' that was a lie, I thought about it all the time but it was just something I wasn't ready to commit to.
'Real?'
'Real!'
'What is up with you today?'
'Nothing!'
'Spencer?'
'Toby?'
'Ever since you left the house you've been in a mood.'
'O I don't know Toby, maybe pregnancy does this to you..'
'Don't be like that.'
'Be like what?'
'Sarcastic I hate it!'
'Well stop asking stupid questions I hate it!'
'My questions was not stupid!'
'Toby just stop!'
'Stop what' he turned he head swiftly to me.
'Toby, tree!! Brake.' He quickly pressed his feet on the brakes.
Blackout....

Toby's POV
I slowly opened my eyes. Pain surged through my body. I looked up. The car was upside down. I tried to turn to Spencer, I could see the blood dripping from her head. She wasn't breathing. I automatically undid my seatbelt and dropped onto the roof of the car. I screamed in horror, a shard of glass stabbed into my thigh. I pulled it out, the blood rushed out. I ripped my shirt and wrapped it around me. I pulled myself through the window of the truck. And dragged myself round to Spencer's side. I only cared about getting Spencer out of the truck, it wasn't safe. I opened the door  and tried to undo Spencer belt, it was stuck. I tugged at it. No movement. The petrol was dripping from the truck I had to get Spencer out now.
'Come on.. Come on' I smacked the buckle. It moved. I smacked it again. She dropped into my arms. I carried her as far as I could. The car exploded knocking us backwards.
'Spencer..' I pulled myself to her.
'SPENCER!!' I held her in my arms. She had to be ok! I grabbed my phone and dialled 999.
10 minutes, 10 minutes was too long. The time was 6.47pm.
'Spencer, you listen I need you to be ok. I can't lose you. Look I have you' I clutched at her hand. The blood was still rushing out of my leg. I could feel myself weakening. My head went light as though it was full of air. I looked at Spencer she went blurry.
'I'm just going to rest my eyes...' I slowly fell backwards. My head smacked the ground. I felt the pain and then I felt nothing everything slowly faded around me, the trees became small black figures dancing in the night then everything mushed together and became nothing. Blackout...

Veronicas POV
I know the way I reacted to Spencer was wrong, she was my daughter and I should have been there for her, not just now but forever and I haven't been. I grabbed my phone and dialled her. It just keep ringing.. Was she ignoring me?
'Voicemail- please leave your message after the beep- beep'
'Spencer, hi it's mum. I'm sorry... I'm sorry for everything. And I hope I'm not to late to tell you that. Please forgive me Spencer. If you want the baby then I want to be there for you the way I should have been your whole life. I'm sorry Spencer I really am.. Love you mum'
