University Life - School, Friends, Relationships

Spencer and Toby (Spoby)

Toby's POV

*End of Summer after UCLA Graduation*

Spencer and I were just days away from going our separate ways. It was only temporary but the next few months were going to be hard. We are not ending our relationship but living 1,750 miles apart wasn't going to be easy. I knew Spencer could handle it but I was worried how Mackenzie would handle her parents living apart. She was almost 2 years old and already showing signs of being a daddy's girl.

"Daddy." Mackenzie said

"What Mackenzie?" I asked

"Mommy said after this weekend you won't see me until after my 2nd birthday." Mackenzie said

"Your mom and you are moving to Chicago. I will join you and her as soon as I can." I said

"Why Chicago daddy?" Mackenzie asked

"Your mom is starting a different university and it's in Chicago." I said

"Come with us daddy." Mackenzie said

"I wish I could but for right now my job is still here in LA." I said

The night before the flight we had Aria babysit Mackenzie so Spencer and I could have some alone time.

"Do you have any idea when this transfer is going to go through?" Spencer asked

"Not exactly but it could be as soon as 2 months from now. All I know is that tomorrow is the day we say goodbye and start our long distance marriage." I said

"Lets make tonight really special since it's our last night." Spencer said

We were alone in the LA house that all of our friends once lived in. Hanna and Caleb hadn't moved to New York yet but they were staying in Montecito until they left California. 

Neither Spencer or I wanted to get out of bed the next morning. We hadn't gotten much sleep because we had been up late until the early hours of the morning having sex.

Spencer's SUV was already on it's way to Chicago by a moving company that moves cars. I would do the same thing with my truck when I officially move out of LA. I had a different truck then the one I used to have so I now have a back seat which is good because we had to have a car seat in there for Mackenzie. We had put the rest of Spencer's and Mackenzie's stuff in my truck last night to make this morning easier. Spencer had shipped most of her stuff to Chicago already and they were supposed to arrive by the day after she got to the apartment in Chicago.

Now we were at the airport and the flight was just about to board. From the moment we got to the airport Mackenzie has been by my side. She didn't want to let go of me but once the flight was boarding she had to.

The flight had already started boarding. Spencer and I gave each other one last hug with a kiss. I picked up Mackenzie and told her how much I loved her. She didn't want me to put her down because when I did she started crying.

Final boarding was being called

"Spence, you have to go know or you are going to miss the flight." I said

"Come on Mackenzie, It's time to go now." Spencer said

"I love you daddy." Mackenzie said

"I love you to Mackenzie. I will miss you and think about you every day." I said

"Toby, It's not to late for Mackenzie to stay here in LA and I will go to Chicago by myself." Spencer said

"Spence, I would love for Mackenzie to stay here in LA but she is better off with you in Chicago." I said
