Say You Won't Let Go (Spoby Story)

Chapter XXVI

*Toby's POV*

I hug my mom awkwardly. She always gets so emotional and it's so embarrassing.

I can hear a faint voice. I recognise it but I can't seem to remember who it........ my dad.

I turn my head to see my father, or step-father, walking towards my mom and I. Holding on to him arm, Jenna.

I pull away from my mom and she looks at me confused. Spencer has her eyes glued to the floor as my dad finally reaches us.

"Hello Toby," he says, his voice deep and steady. He hasn't changed. He still has dirty blonde hair with a bald spot at the back. He is still extremely thin, to thin if you ask me.

"Hey," I mumble, looking at my shoes. My mom holds my arm for reassurance. She knows we haven't got on over the years, that's the reason I haven't spoken to her since 2012.

"How are you?" He asks, trying to make conversation. I look at him. He has to be joking me. "I'm only trying to make conversation," he huffs.

"Well dad, I'm great actually. Spencer and I are back together," I state. His eyes widen and I can't hide the smirk on my face. He loved Spencer because she apparently 'had a good influence on me' so when I broke up with her my dad basically disowned me.

I look over my shoulder to catch Spencer's eye but she isn't there when I turn around.

"That's great, son. Is she here?" He sounds excited. I think he loves her more than he loves me.

"She was. I'll go find her," I say, quickly walking away from my family. Jenna was surprisingly quiet for a change. I guess she only speaks to me when mom and dad aren't around. Bitch.

I pace up and down the massive hall. I can't seem to find her anywhere. I've looked at the bar, the buffet and everywhere in between.

After fifteen minutes of searching I walk outside and see Spencer talking to someone.

I can't see who it is from the way she is standing but she is talking to this person.

"I was invited here," Spencer says. She seems anxious, distressed.

"By whom?" A very familiar voice says back. Why can't I think of who it is.

I start racking my brain for who it might be. It's a woman's voice. Who would be invited here that Spencer would know?

"Does it matter?" She asks back.

Melissa enters the hotel and that's when I realise who Spencer has been talking to. Shit, it's Veronica.
