Taken (A Spoby/Pll Fanfiction)

Chapter 1: Graduation

Spencer's POV:

Today is High School Graduation day and you could say I'm extremely nervous.  I know, I know, a Hastings is supposed to be confident and strong, but honestly, I'm about to lose it.  I was chosen as Valedictorian for my graduating class and I had to write an extremely long speech about how great my high school experience was and blah, blah, blah.  But to be perfectly honest, my high school experience sucked.  With all the pressure of living up to Alison Dilaurentis' reputation after she "died", plus the traumatizing texts from -A, I could never fully enjoy being a high school student.  The one thing I had going for me was Toby.  He was the one that kept me going through all of the pain and heart-ache, even when I found out he was part of the -A team, sending me into a spiraling depression.  I was so lost without him, that I was admitted into Radley.  That was a very dark time in my life.  Even though that's all in my past, I can't help but keep it in the very back of my mind.  I'm always thinking about it, even when I don't know it.  I'm broken beyond repair and there's nothing I can do to fix myself.  The only thing I can do is try to look for the positive things in life, and the only thing that has been positive in my life since Toby is when I stopped recieving texts from -A.  I don't really know what happened with that whole thing and I never even found out who he/she was, but I'm just glad they stopped wrecking my life.

"Spence, it's time to go!" I hear my mom yell from downstairs.  

I grab my cap and gown, make sure my make-up looks good, and put my speech in my pocket.  "I'm about to graduate." I tell myself.  I rush downstairs and see that Melissa isn't with us.

"Where's Melissa?" I ask my mom and dad.

"Wren picked her up, they're going to meet us there," my mom replied.

Ugh I hate Wren.  He's always trying to hit on me with his charming British accent.  "Ello Spencah, ah you still dating that carpentah? I hope not," he'll say with that stupid grin on his face.  "Yes Wren, I'm still dating Toby," I'll say with a tone of annoyance.  

I walk to my car with my parents and step in.  The rest of the car ride is pure agony.  My mom and dad spent the whole ride preparing me for my speech and asking me question after question.  We finally arrive at Rosewood High, and to my surprise, I see Toby waiting for me on the bench right by the doors.  As soon as he sees me, he stands up, and I run and jump into his arms.  

"I'm so glad you came, Toby, I couldn't do this without you," I say in a soft voice, and I really do mean it.  I don't think I could get through this speech without tossing my lunch if Toby wasn't right in the front row cheering me on.  We walk into the school, hand in hand, until suddenly, I stop right in my tracks.

I couldn't believe who was standing right in front of me.
