i've missed you; a spoby story

Chapter 11

Spencer's P.O.V.

I held my breath as I set down the box and held on to my little girl's hand. She eagerly knocked on the door and pranced around.

As soon as the door opened the two 4 year olds collided with each other.

"Lilyyyyyy," Ava cheered

"Avaaaaaaaa,"

"Ok, I think that's enough girls," Toby smiled as he emerged from behind Ava

"Hey," I smiled

"Hi," he smiled

"Okkkk daddyy, can I show Lily our room now? Pleaseee," she asked

"Sure,"

"Yayyyy," the two girls chanted

"C'mon girls," I said as we were gestured inside, Toby picked up the box I was previously carried and placed it inside.

"If you want, I can pick up the other boxes," he suggested

"Oh sure, are you sure you will be okay though?" I asked as I heard both girls run up the stairs

"Yeah, I'll be fine,"

"Also, you might want to clear out your truck. Lily and I have a lot of stuff, and I think Em is home so I'll be able to help you too," I said

"Sure, and just get comfortable. Place all your stuff into the room on the right as soon as you get up the stairs,"

"Thanks," I smiled. I walked up the stairs and as I head to the room Toby told me to go, I was greeted with a sight that broke my heart. Toby had designed the room with multiple photos of us hanging everywhere. I touched each photo as I recalled each moment, which made me smile like an idiot. We were happy, oh so happy. Naive. But happy.

Toby's P.O.V.

I drove in our  truck as I bobbed my head to the beat of the music. I pulled up to Emily's driveway and knocked on the door, "Toby," Emily stated as she cleared her throat

"Emily," I stated mimicking the same tone

"Well, Spencer and Lily's stuff are in the living room so would you like some help?" Emily asked

"Sure," I replied as she guided me inside and showed me the mountain of boxes

"Well, I guess we better get started," Emily stated

"Yep, this may take awhile," I agreed

Spencer's P.O.V.

I kept myself busy as I unpacked the first box of Lily's clothes I had brought. The sounds of Lily and Ava giggling as they ran around reminded me of why I was doing this. Why I was torturing myself, why I was willing to be around the man I love without kissing him and calling him mine. I love Toby, there is no doubt about that but he doesn't want a relationship or me for a matter of the fact. I'll just distance my self from him, it'll be easier that way.

Toby's P.O.V.

As Emily and I carried each box out to the truck, we didn't talk. Not something you would expect, right? I mean we're best friends, we're supposed to be joking around and telling each other about everything but that all changed real quick. After Aria and I started dating, Emily didn't talk to me and when she did, she would talk about how Spencer was doing or how I should call Spencer and every time I brought up Aria's name she would tense her jaw and look sideways. I wanted one of my best friends back, I already lost the one person in this world that mattered most to me so I didn't want to lose another one.
