Spencer's POV

Even after yesterday I can't stop myself from going back to the hospital to see Toby. He needs to understand why I did what I did. Holding my phone and keys in one hand I make my way through the hospital to Toby's room. Much like yesterday I hear shouting coming from the room. I don't think I can handle a repeat of yesterday. 

"I regret lashing out at her okay?!" I hear Toby scream at someone.

"I swear if you hurt her Toby!" Caleb shouts back. Wait Caleb's here?

"I won't, I promise" Toby replies more calmly.

As I move closer to the window and see Caleb sitting opposite Toby on the hospital chair. Debating whether or not to interrupt their conversation I continue to listen outside.

"I do regret what happened yesterday, Yvonne was a distraction from Spencer while she was gone, I'm not over Spencer" Toby looks directly towards Caleb and declares. Watching on I listen as the two boys continue their conversation.

"You still love her.." Caleb replies softly.

"Never stopped.. Never Will" Toby laughs as he continues to admit his feelings. Well I guess this would be the best time for me to interrupt.

Taking a deep breath, I open the door slowly and watch as the two boys turn their heads to me.

"Hi, Can we talk?" I ask, Toby looks confused as I close the door behind me. "..About yesterday" I add. I watch as Toby nods and sends Caleb a look asking him to leave. Caleb rises from his seat and smiles sympathetically before leaving.

As I put my phone and keys down on the table I notice Toby following my every move.

"I'm Sorry" We both say at the same time. Looking up into his eyes we both laugh softly. Breaking the small silence between us, Toby gestures for me to come towards him. Leaving the chair, I go sit beside Toby on the hospital bed.

Taking my hand, Toby begins to stroke it with his thumb. "I know this will probably come as a shock to you after yesterday, and its probably all the drugs I'm on giving me the confidence, but I love you Spencer" Toby says, not losing eye contact with me.

"Toby.." I spurt out.

"Once I'm out of here, I'm taking you on a date, a clean state. A new us"
