Chapter 5 : Wrong

* Tuesday afternoon *

"Alex what the hell are you doing here?" I question quickly jumping out of the bed and walking towards him. He just stands there looking between me and Toby closely.

How dare he show his face to me? Ever since I cut Alex out of my life everything has been so much better. He was toxic and I should have known it from the start. I thought that he was different to other guys. That I could trust him and that we could even maybe have a future together.

We were in a relationship for about three months before I found out he was cheating on me the whole time. I knew he was hiding things from me but I just ignored it because I was so damn hypnotised. I should have never given him a chance at all. But of course me being me I fell for him and his stupid Spanish accent like any other girl would.

"Who's this?" Alex says referring to Toby with anger evident in his voice. Toby just sits there and looks at me with a confused look. I know he can tell that there's history between me and Alex.

"It's none of your business, now answer my question why are you here?" I say walking towards him. I fold my arms over my chest signalling how unhappy I am with him.

"Well I go to Upenn as well Spencer" Alex says but his eyes don't leave Toby. I swear he's probably jealous but I couldn't care less. He could have made things work between us of he wasn't hooking up with girls behind my back. "I saw you the other day and wanted to apologise. I was such a jerk back then Spencer but I've changed I swear. Just give me another chance" he pleads and I look down at the floor.

I bite my lip tightly to try and prevent the tears from falling. Is he actually being serious right now? He thinks he can come back a year later and act like he's changed. I have to admit since I dumped him my life hasn't been the same. I really thought Alex was the one and when we broke up a part of me went missing and has been ever since.

"Alex I can't" I say plainly trying my hardest not to think back to the hurtful memories.

Alex has definitely changed since I last seen him. He is a lot taller now and has a slight stubble on his chin. His hair is the same but looks a bit longer and he definitely seems more mature I guess. He has definitely been working out as his biceps are visible through the hoodie he was wearing.

"Spencer please I know you want this as much as I do" Alex says walking towards me. I take a step backwards and press against something hard. I turn around and relax when I realise it was just Toby chest. He gives me a small reassuring smile and I couldn't be more grateful.

"Alex do you know how hurt I was? How heartbroken I felt because I found out you were cheating for our entire relationship!"   

"Spencer I know and trust me if I could go back and fix my mistake I would" Alex argues and I just roll my eyes at him. I could feel the lump in my throat growing as I was trying harder and harder not to just burst out into tears.

"Whatever I've moved on" I reply not making eyes contact with him. "Just leave."

"Spencer please I still love you, you need to give me a chance" Alex continues to plead and I can't deal with this any longer. He just expects me to forgive him just like that.

"Didn't you hear her, leave" Toby says glaring at Alex. Alex looks as if he's about to say something but then just turns around and leaves. "Spencer are you okay?" Toby asks turning me towards him.

"N-no" I manage to get out before bursting out into tears. Toby wraps his strong arms around me and pulls me to his chest. I stand there sobbing into his shirt whilst he tries to calm me down.
