Say You Won't Let Go (Spoby Story)

Chapter XXVII

*Spencer's POV*

"I was invited here," I huff. My mom is always willing to play 21 questions to get the truth out of me.

"By whom?" She asks. I really wish she hadn't spotted me and the buffet. Damn my need for food.

"Does it matter?" I question her back. Melissa seems to be looking at someone, a glare on her face.

I turn around and see Toby. Oh no. I try to tell him to go away with just my eyes. He looks at me confused, trying to hold in a laugh. Now is not the time to be laughing Toby!

"Spenc-" she stops talking when she sees Toby. Crap.

"What is he doing here?" She asks, a look of poison in her eyes.

"It's his family party," I state, obviously.

"What is he doing near you?" She raises her voice. This isn't going to go down well.

"Mom please don't-" I start.

"Miss Hastings I just wanted to say hi to Spencer." Toby interrupts. What is he doing?

He walks over and stands beside me. If looks could kill, Toby would be dead.

"I'm so sorry," he says bowing his head. What the hell?

"Spencer we have talked about not being near him!" She yells. People look at us as they walk by. They probably think we are crazy.

"Mom I-" I am cut off again, this time by Melissa.

"Jonny said you two broke up," she says. Toby snaps his head round to me with a surprised look on his face.

"You did?" He asks, his eyes lighting up. I can see he is happy that we broke up.

"Spencer!" My mom shouts again. I think she needs to calm down. "I forbid you to see him again!"

I can anger boil up inside of me. Does she really think she can tell me what to do?

"You know what mom? You don't get to boss me around anymore. I'm not a kid! I'm a grown woman and I love him!" I scream.

She looks at me with fury. Melissa is glaring at Toby and Toby looks almost, scared?

"You don't," she says, trying to keep her voice down this time. Her face is bright red in anger.

"I do. I really do mom," I tell her, my eyes pleading.

"Spencer. Don't push it," she sneers, her eyes switching between Toby and I.

"Veronica, I can't do this anymore," Toby says, looking at her.

"Toby, we had a deal," she replies. I have no idea what is going on.

"What deal?" I ask. Nobody replies, as if I'm invisible.

"I love her. I really do and I can't keep away. Your daughter means everything to me," he says, tears welling up in his eyes. 

I lace our fingers together and stay silent. I don't know what is going on. 

"What you done has changed that," my mom states. "You need to go,"

I hear her voice crack as she says that. She is close to tears, I can tell. Her voice has something in it though. I can't tell if she's angry, sad or agitated.

Toby takes his hand from mine and starts walking away. I grab his arm.

"Toby don't go," I whisper, a tear falling from my eyes.

"I need to. Your mom will explain," he whimpers, shrugging my hand off of his arm and walking back into the hall full of people.

I turn around, bursting into tears.

"What did he do that was so wrong? Why can't we be together?" I sob. My mom stares at me, Melissa holding her hand.

"He killed your father,"
