Something Special

Jason POV

Spencer had just left with Veronica, Peter, and Melissa. I was going to miss her a lot, but I was glad she had this chance. The girls stood around talking to each other and I talked to Caleb and Mike. A few minutes later I looked up to see Toby coming. He headed towards us but Hanna got to him first.

"Better replace the batteries in your clock, Cavanaugh. Its six minutes slow. Or do you do this on purpose?" Hanna stated with her arms crossed.

"I didn't do this on purpose, Hanna. I had every intention talking to Spencer before she left." Toby told her.

"Sorry, but I don't believe you." Hanna laughed.

What happened next I don't think anyone expected in a million years, especially Toby. Hanna's fist went flying and connected with Toby's left eye. For a chick she could throw a pretty good punch.

"Hanna!" All of the girls yelled at her.

Mike and I went over to help Toby and Caleb just stood there looking really freaked out. I couldn't blame him to be honest. And I could guarantee that he wouldn't be messing with Hanna anytime soon.

"Man, are you alright?" I asked him and he moved his hand so I could see his eye.

"Wow that is going to be one black eye." Mike let out a low whistle.

"It'll be fine." Toby shrugged, typical. "Do you have any ice?"

"Yeah, let's go to the barn." I nodded.

"Dude, what did you do? I've heard Hanna make threats but I've never actually seen her do something." Mike asked him as we went inside and Caleb followed us.

"Didn't you hear? I was six minutes late." Toby mumbled.

"Okay, I'm going to rephrase Mike's question. What didn't you do?" I asked him as I handed him some and ice pack and a towel.

"Hanna came over to my place around two in the morning. She said Spencer was leaving and I needed to talk to her before she did. I debated all morning if I would actually come here or not. I decided at the last second to come but I guess I didn't make up my mind soon enough." Toby shrugged.

"Well, there's nothing you can do now. Although I'm sure Hanna will stay angry at you for a long time. I'd watch my back if I were you." I said slightly joking.

"Speaking of Hanna, I'm going to take her home and get her to calm down." Caleb announced. "Sorry about the eye, Toby."

"Don't apologize." Toby smirked. "Good luck with Hanna."

"Thanks," Caleb mumbled and then he walked out.

"So, how long are you staying here in the barn?" Toby asked me.

It was mid-afternoon and we were playing video games together. His eye was pretty bad so I would give him a ride home but we decided to hang out a bit. Plus, I wanted more info on what happened between him and Spencer.

"Um, I'm not sure. I hope it's not too much longer though." I shrugged.

"Well, school finishes at the end of this week. And starting this weekend I'm going to be helping Ezra Fitz with the coffee shop. He said I could move into the loft above it as soon as I get it cleared out. If you don't mind living in a construction zone, I don't mind having a roommate." He offered.

"I think anything would be better than this place. Melissa and I get along okay when she visits. Veronica tolerates me which I understand. But Peter..." I trailed off shaking my head.
