Pretty Little Liars: Where's Toby?

Part Twenty-Five

Toby’s Apartment (Later that Night)

            “GAAAHH!!!”, Toby shouted, shooting up from the bed. His face was dripping with sweat. Before he knew it, Emily came running into his bedroom with a look of terror on her face. “What’s the matter?”, she asked, panicked and fidgety. “N-nothing. J-just a bad d-dream.”, Toby stuttered, putting his hand on his forehead and brushing his hair back. “What was it?”, Emily asked, walking over and sitting next to him at the foot of the bed.

            “It was just like a déjà vu dream. I was back in the barn and Alison was…”, he began, tears beginning to form in his eyes. “Toby, you’re fine. Alison is not here. I am. And as long as I’m here nothing is going to happen to you.”, Emily told him, holding his shoulder as she spoke. “W-where’s Spencer?”, he asked, wiping his eye a little. “She went home to get some sleep once you were fully asleep. So she called me like you said to.”, she answered with a smile.

            Toby simply smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Emily blushed again, flattered that he cared so much for her. “Thanks Emily.”, he said. “No problem. Now try to get some more sleep.”, she said, walking off and turning the light off behind her. It took almost a half hour for him to get back to sleep. Emily went in to check on him and just smiled. Toby was sound asleep. She couldn’t help but notice how cute he looked; almost like a little kid taking a nap. A moment later she saw him begin to stir, so she quietly walked back into the living room and waited for Spencer to come over.

            About two hours later, Spencer was knocking on the door. “Hey Spence.”, Emily said, opening the door and letting her in. “Hey. How’s Toby?”, she asked, setting her purse down on the kitchen counter. “He’s fine. Still asleep.”, Emily replied with a smile. “Why so happy?”, Spencer laughed. “If you’d seen him earlier sleeping, you would have died at how adorable he looked.”, Emily laughed. “So nothing happened?”, Spencer asked.

         “There was an incident where he had a nightmare. But he was fine after a while.”, Emily answered. “Okay. Well you wanna wake him up?”, Spencer asked. “Nah. Let’s just….let him sleep for a while. He needs it.”, Emily said, shifting her eyes back towards the bedroom and smiling.
