We always find our way back (a spoby love story- 5 years forward)

Chapter 12

AN: hey guys! sorry I've been so inactive!!! I have been super busy with finals and school but now that it's break I actually have time. So I'll be writing more often now.

Toby's POV

What are we going to do? I can't believe that A  would choose now to make its epic comeback. Wait, yes I can, that's like A's thing. Big events is its go-to time to ruin everyone's life. So typical. I feel like Spencer should post-pone the wedding, but under the radar. That way A can't crash the party.

UGH what am I saying, A is always  one step ahead. That would never work. We had to think of something else.

Oh, here's an idea, let's cancel the wedding altogether. It's a win-win for everyone!

...ok next idea.

But then there was a knock at the door. That's probably Emily. I thought.

I was wrong, though. And man did I wish it was Emily.

There stood one short and very angry Brit. 

"oh, uh, hey Wre-" He interrupted me by punching me right in the face. I hardly reacted. He, on the other hand winced at his now-bruised punching hand. I couldn't help but grin.  But my smile quickly faded as I put the pieces together. "I'm not sure what exactly mad at me for. It takes two people do hook-up. But I guess you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?"

He looked at me with pure hatred and punched me again. That one actually had a kick to it. I briefly winced and felt my nose bleeding. He still said nothing, so I did. "Look, Wren, I'm sorry, but maybe it's for the best. Now that we both know who Spencer really  wants-" I stopped when he started to devishly grin. I was a little confused. "Sorry, but I think I'm the one who should be smiling right now, not you."

He smiled even bigger. I furrowed my eyebrows. "Oh, oh no, Toby, you are terribly mistaken. I'm the one who should be crying of laughter. You see, you think Spencer made up her mind. Why exactly would she say, 'he means nothing to me?'"

I shook my head. "She wouldn't say that."

He grinned again. "Oh, but she would. I believe her exact words were, 'If I could take it back I would.' Now isn't that romantic."

I gave him a startled look. I didn't respond. I was speechless.  He kept on giving me that stuck-up cocky grin. "aw, don't be said, Toby. You always have Jenna." That's when I lost it. I raised my arm and that grin was wiped off his face real quick. It turned into a full on fist-fight. I was overpowering, of course, and for a minute I felt bad for him. But then I saw his grin in my mind and suddenly I didn't.

All of my surroundings were drowned out. I was so angry. He started to stop fighting back when I felt someone pulling us apart. I slowly went back to reality and heard "Get off of him! Stop it both of you!"

I turned to see Spencer with such a disappointed look on her face I can't describe it. Or how it felt to be looked at with it. She turned away from me to help Wren up and drove away with him without saying another word.

I really messed up this time.  I thought. Crap.  Now what.

Spencer's POV

I was mad. Believe me I was royally pissed at Toby but I was mad at Wren, too. Not as mad because some part of me knew that that was what he was going to do, but I didn't think he'd go this far.

He was starting to sit up straight and feel better so I punched his shoulder. "OW! Why on earth would you do that?!"

"What the hell is wrong with you! What were you thinking?!"

"I was thinking  that he slept with my soon-to-be wife and I was pissed! Sorry for caring!"

He was shouting now. "that doesn't mean you go all psycho on him and start a fight!"

"For your information I punched him once. THEN, I pissed him off and he retaliated. Not my fault that your ex-boy toy has rage issues." I shot him an enraged look. "Sorry. That came out wrong." he paused. "But I'm not sorry that I did that! He isn't allowed to get away with that kind of stuff."

We both started to cool down. "But he said something that reminded me of the elephant in the room. It takes two people to hook up, Spencer. At some point we need to talk about this."

"Some point is not right now."

He sighed and shook his head. "No, Spencer. For once, I'm calling the shots, and I say we are talking about this right now." He had a firmness in his voice that wasn't worth arguing with. He was intent on winning this one.

"Fine." I said kind of childlike. "I don't understand what else there is to say. You know what happened, I told you it didn't mean anything, and it's over between us. Do you not trust me when I say that?"

"I do, Spence." He spoke softly. "It's him that I don't trust. When I told him that you said it didn't mean anything, he looked so hurt." It took every nerve in my body not to smile and blush when he said that.

I stopped the car and faced him. "You have nothing to worry about. I love you, and only you." Why did my voice shake when I said that? Which person was I trying to convince? We both leaned in and hugged for a long time. He kissed my head while we were still hugging. I smiled.

 "I love you too, Spence" His voice was shaky like he was crying. I loved him so much. I really truly did. I just don't understand why its so hard to express it the way I want to.

Why is my life so complicated.
And as usual, on cue, my phone buzzed.  I rolled my eyes and looked at my phone. "Who is it?" Wren asked. I needed to tell him. I was marrying the guy for god's sake.

"My worst nightmare." He looked confused. I handed him the phone. His eyes went back and forth and his face went flat.

"What is this?"

"It's way to long of a story to explain right now, but I will. But for now, this conversation stays between us. I took my phone back and reread the text.

Wow, Spence. Such a lucky girl! Now you have two guys literally fighting for you. But obviously, you've made the better choice.

See you at the wedding!

As always, kisses, A.
