The Aftermath of Drake (ON HOLD)

Truth

Spencer's P.O.V
On the way back home I ran into someone. And, to my surprise it was none other than Toby, holding hands with a girl.

"Hey Spencer!" He exclaimed.

"Hey Toby," I stammered.

"Ah, this is Yvonne..."

"Nice to meet you Spencer, Toby's told me a lot about you," Yvonne took out her hand for a handshake. I shook it.

"Nice to meet you too. Yvonne, would your last name happen to be Phillips?"

"Yeah it is, why do you ask?"

"You're the daughter of the opposition aren't you? I'm the daughter of Mrs. Hastings,"

"Wow, small world huh?"

"Yeah," I glanced up at Toby. He was looking down at the floor, as if ashamed of something...but what?

There was some silence between us for a while.

"So, I didn't mention this before but, Yvonne and I are engaged..."

"Well, he proposed to me today. We still have to tell our family..." Yvonne cut in. She showed me the ring on her finger.

"Wow, it's beautiful Yvonne. You really are lucky to have someone like Toby in your life," I looked into Toby's eyes. "He really is special."

"Well, I'll take good care of him then,"

I smiled in return.

"Well, I have to go see my mum, campaign stuff. I'll leave you two then, bye!" And with that, Yvonne left the two of of us by ourselves.

Once she left I immediately heard a ping from my phone. I guess it was my mum. I looked down and read the text. It was from an unknown sender.

I guess she is better than you
He will never put a💍on your finger
-A.D

I gulped and tried to hold in the tears that were forming in my eyes. I tried as hard as I could to keep it as vague as possible. I didn't want Toby knowing that I was crying. Obviously, it didn't work. He saw me crying.

"Spencer, what's wrong...?"

"Noth-"

"And don't say nothing, I know you better then that," He cut me off.

"It's starting again Toby. The texts from 'A'. Well we think it's a new person. They go by the name 'A.D'."

"Why are you telling me this only now?"

"You weren't around Toby. You weren't with me during it, and besides you were busy."

"Of course I was!" He groaned. "Can I at least see the text you just got?"

"No, it's personal, it's none of your business."

"It was my business when you told me it started again,"

Before I could answer he snatched my phone out of my hands and scrolled through my phone.

"This is what you find personal? Why wouldn't you show me something like this?" He continued. "You said that it was personal, does this mean that you still have...feelings for me?"

I shook my head.

"Spencer, I know that you're lying to me. Just tell me what's going on. You were acting all weird at the hospital and right now. Why can't you just be honest with me!" He shouted this time.

"I d-o..." I stammered. "I do still have feelings for you Toby,"

"No, Spencer! You can't! I'm with Yvonne now..."

"Toby...I'm sick,"

"What do you mean?"

"The night you broke up with me, I was going to tell you, but you broke up with me. I was pregnant with your child Toby. After you left me, I didn't know what to do. I went and got an abortion, because that was the only choice I had left. But, there were complications..."

"What kind of complications?"

"There were some traces of cancer in my lungs. The doctor said that it was spreading, fast. I only had one option left, to get a transplant. So that's one of the reasons why I'm here. For a transplant."

"I don't know what to say,"

"Then don't say anything. Just give back my phone."

Toby didn't budge.

"Fine then, I'll take it myself." I snatched the phone out of his hand, put it in my pocket and ran off.
