Chapter 16

Spencer

"Spencer!" Toby gasps when he opens his door,

"Can I come in?"

"Sure" he nods as he steps aside

"Is anyone here?"

"No. Just me. Do you want anything?"

"Not besides the truth"

He sighs but leads me to the sitting room

"Ask me anything"

"Did you guys really set up a plan to get rid of Jason?"

"You talked to Melissa?"

"Yes. And she told me everything. Or at least I think it's everything"

"We planned it yes, but I just went along with it. Don't get me wrong I was tired of Jason being the poster child that all our parents wanted us to be. But I liked him, he helped me out with things. But Derek was my group and if you didn't follow them you were out. I wasn't as gutsy back then, but I had a plan. I was going to call the cops. In fact I had called the cops when we arrived anonymously and said there may be a attempted murder going down. Those sirens everyone heard where the cops. They got there late. But my plan was to stop it all along. When Melissa shot her gun she thought it was me. And she was heart broken when she realized it was Jason. So was I in fact. I tried to talk to her but she blamed it on me. And ever since them she thought I was the reason he was dead which is why my sisters hate me. My parents hated that I wasn't like Jason and I couldn't deal with it anymore. Derek and I stopped being friends when he found out about my plan. But some of the other dudes respected my decision which is why they still have my back" he tells me "I didn't want to hurt Jason at all, and when Melissa threatened to tell everyone I did it if I got close to your family I freaked out, even more so when I realized I had feelings for you. I've never had those feelings for anyone. I've only ever felt attracted to people. Which is why when you told me you loved me I froze. I didn't know what love was until I met you. I wanted to tell the truth but I knew how much Melissa was hurting and if I told you the truth you would hate me and if I told you the truth including Melissa it would ruin everything"

"So what she said was true?"

"Yes"

"And you had nothing to do with the planning?"

"I swear on everything. Spencer. I love you, I've never loved anyone before, and I'm so sorry it came down to this" he starts as he stands up and sits on the couch beside me "I wish I could go back and change it but I can't, and I know I hurt you but I swear I didn't hurt him, I liked Jason"

"I believe you" I mumble

"You do?"

"Yes" I give him a small smile

"Thank you" he cheers as he presses his lips to mine.

His lips on mine feel great and I want to be with him, I want him to take me upstairs and make up for lost time, but I can't.

I push him away gently

"I forgive you, but I can't be with you" I tell him before getting up and walking away

I love him, and it's great to know he loves me too.

But I don't know how this is going to work.
