Brittish Bastered & The Three Bears

Over. Things can be over in a long or short amount of time. A war is an example of something that was over after a long time. A kiss is an example of something that can be over in a short time. Things can be over whenever you want them to be if you try hard enough to make them be over. A rivalry can be over whenever. There's no time limit to it because it's the two people who decide when it over.

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Toby. Happy birthday to you!" the gang cheered as Toby blew out his candles.
"Happy birthday Dad!" a ten-year-old Avalon said happily and hugged Toby.
"Thanks Ava. Thanks guys," Toby said and pulled Avalon onto his lap.
"Now birthday presents!" Hanna said and grabbed five different gifts.
"Isn't it supposed to be cake first and then presents?" Toby asked laughing.
"Eh, too cliché," Hanna said.
"Okay then," Toby said and unwrapped his presents.
From Aria and Ezra, he got a new tool belt that he had tried saving up for. From Hanna and Caleb, a new black belted swiss army watch (which he needed). From Emily and Samara, a new set of tools. From Jason, of course boxes of chocolates. But from Avalon, he was surprised.
She gave him a picture of them. They were at the park and she hopped on his back and they posed for the camera as Aria took it. The others were puzzled too. Avalon could tell they were and then she looked back in the box and gasped.
"I forgot to put it in! Excuse me for a moment please!" she exclaimed and ran upstairs to her room and came back downstairs with something behind her hands.
"Close your eyes," she said.
"Okay," Toby said and clamped his eyes shut.
She grabbed his hands and placed the heavy-ish object in his hands which earned a few gasps from everyone.
Toby opened his eyes and smiled. "Did you make this?"
She nodded. "I've been working on it for a month."
"Thank you Ava, it's beautiful," he said and hugged her.
Avalon had made him a hand-made photo frame out of wood. It had beautiful and professional carvings. It could explain why she didn't want anyone in her room since after the party, Toby looked at her room and saw wood sheddings on the ground and a pocketknife.

Toby looked at the photo frame with the same picture of them, that was placed by the front window of his truck. He smiled at the memory. He didn't want to think that it would be the last. No, there would be more and he knew it.

He looked at the empty seat next to him and sighed. He missed Spencer. He shouldn't have gotten mad at her for the decision she clearly wanted to make, but it as too hard after all these years. She had hurt him and Avalon but everyone knew he still loved her.

He drove around and around finally realizing he had been going in circles for the past few hours. He stopped the truck and stayed silent before he let a small tear fall. He missed everyone including Avalon and Spencer. He loved them both more than life itself. He'd catch a grenade for them. Walk a thousand miles for them both. He'd do anything for them. Anything to get them back into his arms again.

Right then and there, Toby broke down. His body shook uncontrollably and he just couldn't hold it in anymore. It sucked being him because he was expected not to cry and to stay strong. He let out heart-breaking sobs that even a five-year-old to a seventy-year-old's heart would break at the sight and noise.

"Fuck life!" Toby yelled.

He didn't mean it, he loved life. It was just being a bitch to him right now. He stayed there in his truck for a long time, crying his heart out until he saw a light in the forest.

Avalon whimpered and she backed up on the bed as the man came towards her. She fought back as he tried to touch her.

"Get away from me!" she yelled.

He pinned her down and kissed her neck. She shivered and struggled in his hold, but he was too strong. Before she even knew what was happening, she found herself in only her bra and underwear. She shielded her body and he tried touching her again, but a voice stopped him.
