Chapter 20

5 days later

It's Saturday and I still haven't seem Toby.

He hasn't come home and he hasn't been at school.

"Do you need anything?"

"No I'm fine, thanks De" I smile

"Ok. I'll be back. Lucy called me, she needs my help in something" she groans and I chuckle

"Have fun"

I have been avoiding Alison.

She texts and leaves messages about how she didn't wrote about it and if I call her back she will explain everything, but I honestly don't want to hear her lies.

--------

I hear the front door open and I walk towards it hoping its Toby.

"Spencer" he gasps

"Hey.....where have you been?"

"Just out" he shrugs

"You haven't returned my calls or texts. I was worried Toby, it's been 6 days"

"I know" he sighs "I'm sorry"

"What were you doing?"

"Nothing important"he brushes the subject off "is everything ok? Why are you here?"

"My mom wants me to abort and I don't agree. And my dad doesn't want me to stay with him if I'm with you"

"Oh."

"If ,r being here is weird then I could stay somewhere else"

"No no, it's fine. Sorry"

"Is something wrong?"

"No I'm fine"

"Ok" I shrug

He's acting weird and I don't understand why, I mean you'd think he'd be open now that we are in this situation but I guess not.

------

"Are you hungry?" He asks as he enters the living room

"Yes actually"

I walk into the kitchen behind him.

"So you cook?" I chuckle

"A bit" he mumbles

"Are you really that mad that I'm here?" I ask, getting annoyed with his attitude

"I'm not mad at all"

"So then what's this about? You're acting so cold, what did I do besides defend you?"

He sighs "nothing, I just had to get away Spencer. Everyone looked at me before like I was the worst person ever, but now they look at me like I'm a murderer and it's annoying, I just needed space"

"So why couldn't you just say that?"

"Because, you are dealing with so,etching I didn't want to overwhelm you"

"We are dealing with this together" I say as I stand up and walk towards him "we have to be open with each other ok?"

"Yes" he nods before pressing a quick kiss to my lips

"Anything else bothering you?"

"Not really bothering Me. Just a question"

"Shoot" I say as I sit back down

"Would an abortion be so bad?"

I freeze.

"Sorry. I was just asking"

"Um..I don't really like abortions. It sickens me, the baby shouldn't be punished, it's not it's fault it's here."

"I know, I get that. But we are young. You're 16 and I'm 17"

"And we made a life changing mistake that we have to love with"

"Yes, that's true. I was just asking"

"You want an abortion?"

"I don't know" he shrugs

What my mom said replays in my mind and I just have to ask

"You're not going to leave me right?"

"What? Why would you think that?"

"I don't know....I just need to know you are going to be here with me"

"I'm not going anywhere" he smiles

I hope that's true.

"Good, now start cooking I'm hungry"

Alison

I haven't talked to the girls shout the blog yet.

I waited a school week for them to tell me about it but nothing

"It's so nice today" Hanna smiles as we sit in my backyard.

"Why?"

"I don't know why. Because it's spring maybe" Hanna shrugs

"No, why did you guys go behind my back and write the story? And to make it worse you added the voice recording."

"Oh" Aria mumbles

"In my defence I tried to stop them" Em adds

"It doesn't matter, I told you guys not to and you did"

"So we have to do what you want? And what would happen if you got all buddy buddy with Spencer again? You would leave us" Aria spits

"No I wouldn't because I'm not that person. I would balance friends. Even introduce you guys to her. Obviously Cassandra wouldn't want to be friends with you guys but I know Spencer would be fine"

"Well we were just securing our firmed ship" Hanna says

"By ruining someone else's life!?"

"Who Toby's?"

"Toby's, Spencer's, Melissa's"

"What dies Melissa have to do with this?"

"Wow" I chuckle "forget it Hanna. But not on,y did you ruin that, you guys ruined our friendship. So much for trying to secure it. You just lost it"

"What?" Em gasps

"I may not be friends with Spencer right now because of you two, but i rather be friendless then be friends with people who go behind my back"

"Ali" they gasp

"Just go"

I have to find some way to make this up to Spencer.
