A Spoby Story: I'm Safe Now

Chapter 2

Spencer's POV

As we arrive in front of Toby's house,he opens the door and we walk in.

"You hungry?" Toby asked.

"Not really.."

"Okay I know this sounds awkward but since when haven't you eaten? You're so skinny.. and you seem like you're weak.." he tells me as we sit on the couch.

"I barely eat a biscuit per day. I am not very hungry lately.."

"Is this because of.. Alison?"

When I hear her name,tears immediately stream down my face and I have a breakdown. Toby hugs me and calms me and after some minutes I tell him:

"She was my best friend.. I miss her everyday. My life completely changed after her death.. I don't eat anymore.. I don't care about myself.. I push people away,I cry myself to sleep every night and.. no one noticed.. I mean,Em,Aria and Hann did but my family didn't.. And not even my best friends know all of this.. So I'd appreciate if you wouldn't tell anyone..

Toby's POV

Wow.. Her story is.. Just.. Oh my God I can feel that pain.. I look at her and her wrists pop out in my sight. Are those scars?! I take her hands and ask:

"You're cutting?!"

Spencer pulls away. "Please don't tell anybody".

"Spencer! You need to stop!"

"Why?!"

"Because I care about you!"

Spencer's POV

What?.. Somebody actually cared about me,Spencer Hastings?

I had to act like I didn't care about what he said so I tell him:

"Then if you care about me you won't tell!" I yell.

He sits up and goes upstairs. Ugh,like always I push people away. I should probably go home so I walk upstairs to tell Toby I'm leaving. I knock on the door and say:

Toby,I'm sorry.. Uh.. I'm leaving so.. See ya" and as I turn away,someone grabs me by my arm. It's Toby.

"What?" I ask him.

"I am sorry." I look into his deep blue eyes and all I wanna do now is kiss him. He comes closer and closer but I remember I can't fall in love with him so I pull away as fast as I can.

"I'm gonna sleep on the couch."

"Spencer,you know you can sleep with me,right? I mean. If you want." he says and his cheeks turn red. I smile and we both enter the bedroom. He hands me a blue shirt and I first take my leggings off. While taking them off,I see his abs again and I feel like I'm floating. He is so perfect. But I come back to reality and turn away to take off my everyday T-Shirt. I try to take the shirt but it's too far and I turn to Toby,quickly taking the shirt. He stares at me for a while and I remember that I need to put it on,so that's what I do. He turns off the lights and we get in the bed and I turn to my side. I can feel Toby's breath on my neck. I turn to face him and he is standing so close to me that I almost kissed him. He opens his eyes,wrapps his arm around my waist,pulls me closer and whispers: "Goodnight". I place my head on his chest and say: "Goodnight." and I smile to myself.
