Back to Me

What If?

Spencer POV

The next afternoon I jumped up as soon as I heard a knock on the door. As Cece predicted Jason didn't tell me much when he got home. So I was anxious to get some information so I could get my revenge. But it wasn't Cece who was at the door.

"Hello, Spencer," Jenna Marshall greeted me. And like always she sounded too friendly, something was up.

"Hi, Jenna, would you like to come in?" I offered although I didn't really want to.

"No thanks, I can't stay long. I just wanted to tell you three things." She told me. "First, the surgery worked. I can see."

"Wow, that's awesome. I'm happy for you, Jenna." I lied with a fake smile.

"It is awesome. I just wanted to let you know it worked. And I honestly hope it does for you too."

"Thanks," I nodded not sure if I believed her. "So what was the third thing you wanted to tell me?"

"Actually, it's not something I want to tell you. It's something Toby wanted me to tell you." She said.

I was immediately curious and confused. Why would Toby send me a message through Jenna? He could have called or come over himself.

"What's that?" I asked her.

"Stay away, Spencer. I'm done." She stated.

"Yeah right, like I'm going to listen to you, Jenna." I said with as much sarcasm as I could.

"I didn't say it, Spencer. Toby did." She clarified.

"Why should I believe you?" I demanded. "And if he really did say that, it was probably to get you off his back because that's what you wanted to hear."

"Look at the facts, Spencer. When was the last time you talked Toby? And how was it?"

"Um sometime last week." I hesitated as doubt started to creep in. "But that doesn't mean anything. He limited his calls so that you wouldn't find out."

"Or maybe he told you that because he knew that's what you wanted to hear." Jenna challenged. "And if you don't believe, why don't you ask him yourself. He'll say the same thing I told you."

"No, he wouldn't." I stated firmly, regaining my confidence in our relationship. "He loves me and wouldn't use me the way you used Garrett. Yeah, I know about that, and Toby is nothing like you."

"Maybe we're more alike than you think. We are siblings you know and we spent a lot of time with each other these past two weeks."

"You're stepsiblings, Jenna!" I yelled at her. "And Toby spent as little time with you as possible; he didn't even want to go."

"Again, maybe that's just what he told you."

"Toby's not a liar. But you are. Now, you've delivered your message so I think it's time you left."

"Did it ever occur to you, that maybe Toby had me tell you because he thought it would soften the blow? He's a really nice guy, as I'm sure you know, maybe too nice to be the one to break your heart."

"Shut up, Jenna!" I yelled but realized this is probably what she wanted. "When I said it's time for you to leave I wasn't making a suggestion."

"Goodbye, Spencer," Jenna said, back to be overly friendly, then left.

I slammed the door shut in anger. I immediately grabbed my phone from my pocket and called Toby. It went straight to voicemail and I didn't bother leaving a message. I knew he would call me back soon and that he still wanted to be with me. Jenna was just playing more mind games with me. Or at least I hoped so.
