A Spoby Story: I'm Safe Now

Chapter 1

Spencer's POV

As I sit on the bathroom floor,I hear a knock on the door.

"Spencer! Can you please come here?" my dad says.

I get out of the bathroom and my dad tells me that I should make a sandwich for Toby. I sigh and head to the fridge. I prepare the sandwich and I take it to Toby. And when I see him,the first thing that pops out is his abs. Oh. My. God. A six pack. Could this boy be any cuter? Wait,Spencer,what are you saying? You can't fall in love with a boy like him.

"Thank you,Spencer." he says and then turns away. Was I distant with him? Of course I was,I always am since Ali..

"So.. how is work?" I ask him,trying to be friendly.

"Why would you care?" he asks.

"Well.. I don't know.. I was just trying to talk to you.."

"Oh... okay.. Well so far I'm doing my best " he smiles.

And again. Oh God that smile!

"Do you want to take a break and um.. I don't know.. Go somewhere?"

"Sure,where should we go?"

"The Brew?"

I nod and we head to the brew. And there is Emily,working.

"Hi Spence! How have you been?"

"Oh you know.. Struggling.. What about you?"

"Same.. You know how much I loved her.. But I need to work so we'll catch up another day?"

"Sure" I say and we hug.

Toby and I sit at the table and I order a big latte and he orders a juice.

"Would you like to go in the park for a walk?" Toby asks.

"Sure" I fake a smile,cause a real smile is hard for me to do. We get up and we walk to the park. Wow,there is no one here. I see the fountain,full of that cold water. Ugh,it's so hot outside that I would die for a bath in there. And suddenly,Toby picks me up and throws me in the pool.

"Hey!" I say.

"What? You were staring at the fountain and I thought that you wanna take a bath" he laughs and jumps in the fountain. We splash each other and for the first time after Ali's death,I laugh. I am having such a great time with him! I sneeze and he says:

"We should probably go. I don't want you to catch a cold." he smiles.

"But I don't wanna go home. My parents and Melissa are leaving tonight in New York and I don't wanna be alone.. I am tired of being alone.." I say as I look away.

"We can go to my place and you could sleep there. Jenna is away with my parents." he says.

"Well.. thanks."

We get out of the pool and head to Toby's place.
