Chapter 5 - 'Don't'
Spencer's POV: I anxiously sit and wait to be taken back for my....appointment. "Hastings!" the nurse calls and I look her way. Tears fill my eyes as I slowly stand up and walk to meet her. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she asks. I pause momentarily and wipe my eyes. "Yes." I choke through tears. As the nurse guides me back behind the door, I hear a loud strong voice shout from behind me. "Spencer! Spencer, don't!!" I quickly turn around to find Toby standing across the room. "Spencer, please." he pleads. "Looks like you have some decisions to make. You can use one of our rooms if you'd like." the nurse offers and Toby joins me in a secluded room. I turn away from Toby and after a somewhat long pause, he begins to speak. "Spencer...please look at me." I can't bring myself to look at him. He must think I'm a monster. I soon feel his strong hand grace my shoulder blade. Per usual, I find solace in his touch and I can't hold up any longer. "I'm sorry, Toby." I gasp as I turn and fall into his arms. Tears stain his shirt as he holds me close. "It's okay, Spencer. Shhhh..." Toby whispers as he gently rubs my back. "It's not okay. I'm not here of my own free will." I say softy through tears. I step back from Toby's grip and look him in the face. "-A sent me here, Toby."
