We always find our way back (a spoby love story- 5 years forward)

Chapter 16 (TWO MONTHS LATER)

AN: I thought I should do an accurate time jump because I literally haven't written in over two months. WHAT THE HECKKK. So it's two months past the wedding but there's plenty of flashbacks re-telling all that has happened in the time since. In this chapter, Spencer is really speaking to the audience, so you'll hear a lot of "you," and it should feel like she's telling you the story. Hope you enjoy ;)

(and anytime the words are in italics, that means its flashing back)

So much has happened since that infamous almost-wedding. At this point, you probably would think Toby and I rode off into the sunset after hearing about our running water down the street moment together.

But it was so far from that.

And here's why.

Wow. That was all I could think.

Wow.

Toby kissed me. I mean it was about time, but still.

We continued to sit there on that curb with the water running just wondering how our lives would turn out if we could just do what we wanted.

If we could let our hearts decide our fate and not our minds.

He finally pulled away, but I really didn't want him to. I never wanted this moment to end.

"Don't you see, Spence? This is  our time now. You might not know it this second but I know you feel it too. You have to."

"Toby I can't just lea-"

"Why not?"  He interrupted.

I scoffed with a chuckle , wanting to have a good argument, but I didn't have one. It was clear I wasn't wanted inside, that just wasn't an option. So I said yes before I let my reasoning kick in.

"yes."

he looked happily surprised .

"wait really?!"

"yes, yes!!"  We both laughed and didn't think of the events to come. We just knew this was right.

It had to be.

But it wasn't.

I bet you're really confused right now, wondering what could possibly go wrong after this.

I mean I would be too. everything was  perfect.

Or so we stupidly and naively thought.

It all started when we decided to flee from the horrid wedding scene together.

We were so in love in that moment; we had no idea the horrible thing that was about to come our way.

But we were about to find out.

We both leaped off the curb and hailed a cab as fast as we could and jumped inside. Toby told the driver to take us anywhere.  The driver smiled and said he knew the perfect place to take two lovebirds.

That felt good.

"Spence I can't tell you how excited I am about this. This is perfect. No, perfect isn't a strong enough word. There's gotta be a better one."

"..How about...impeccably substantial."  He laughed very hard.

"That is definitely the Spencer  I know and love unconditionally." 

I smiled right back, even bigger.

" I know this is the epic getaway, but what should we tell people? I mean you were supposed to be married right about now."

"I'll tell them that I'm finally letting my heart decide what's best for me. You're the one I never want to leave."

We stared deep into each others' eyes and stayed there.

We stayed like that for what felt like an hour.

We stayed like that to savor our impeccably substantial moment.

We stayed like that so long we were in our own world.

We stayed like that so long we almost didn't snap back into reality and notice what was happening.

We stayed like that so long we almost didn't notice the sound of  a drawn out horn honking.

Or the sound of tires screeching.

Or the sight of our car window shattering to pieces.

Or the sound of distant screaming.

But before we knew it, we were separated, and I didn't know where I was.

I soon found myself in a hospital bed, next to the love of my life.

And we stayed like that.

For a long, long time.

TO BE CONTINUED.

ok this is such a crappy chapter and could've been worded so much better but I was in a hurry. I promise I will try to write more and spend time on it! PLEASE tell me what you think!!
