Forever? (A Spoby Story)

Chapter 14

*Spencer's POV*

Lying in bed all day, eating chocolate ice-cream, watching sad movies and listening to heartbreaking songs doesn't fix the way my heart feels, how I feel inside.

You always see the broken hearted girls on the TV, doing all they things but why even bother? I did bother for about a day but even though it hurts, the world doesn't stop for you. I wasted my weekend and now it's Monday.

I drag myself out of bed and quickly get ready for the day ahead of me.

I wonder if Toby is still expecting me to take Lily home? No, I won't. Unless she comes to get me.

Damn it, Spencer! Stop thinking about him.

When I get to the school I go straight to my classroom and get ready for my class. As soon as the bell goes, the day goes by extremely fast.

When the last bell rings, I gather my stuff. I decide to wait until everyone's gone so I don't have to bump into Toby or Yvonne. That's the last thing I want.

I wait twenty minutes before leaving my class and walking to my car.

When I walk out the school door Toby has his back towards me. I turn around and am about to walk back inside when Lily shouts my name. Damn it.

"Spencer!" She cheers, running up to me. I turn around slowly, making sure not to look at him.

"Hey Lily," I say softly. I can feel his eyes on me and I need to get away from here before I end up in tears, again.

"Hey," Toby's voice says quietly. I look up and we both stare at each other for a few seconds.

"I need to go," I say, turning around and walking away. I keep walking, not looking back and finally get to my car without any hassle.

When I get into my car I notice that he hasn't followed me. I can't help but feel disappointed but what should I expect. He kissed Yvonne. 

I get home and fall on to the couch. I was having a good day and then he comes to plant himself back into my brain.

He's so damn annoying.

My phone goes off just as I get off the couch.

"Hello?" I answer, not bothering who the caller id is.

"Hey, what you up to?" Alex asks.

"I just got home from work, what about you?"

"Well, I was about to ask you if you wanted to go for dinner?" He asks. I really don't want to but Alex is my friend.

"I don't know......"

"Look Spence, I know that jerk Toby broke your heart," I feel like I've just been stabbed in the heart at the mention of his name and I think Alex catches on before he continues. "Sorry. Just don't let him put you down. You deserve better,"

"Thanks Alex but I think I'll skip this one. I'll see you later?" I ask in hopes of a reply.

"Yeah, later?" He huffs before hanging up the phone.

I wonder what's up with him. He knows I'm going through a hard time so why is he annoyed about it.

I don't think about it much, instead I get changed into comfy clothes and go a walk. I need some fresh air.

*Toby's POV*

I chickened out at the school this afternoon. I was meant to speak to Spencer but when I saw her, I couldn't.

I keep picturing her crying in her car, over and over in my head. The way she looked at me. I will never forget the way she looked at me. It was like she never even knew me. She didn't acknowledge me.

All I want right now is for her to hold me. She should be here right now, playing with Lily, making sarcastic jokes, telling me how good I look in my cop uniform but instead she is probably with that Alex guy.

I wonder where he is. I want to talk to him, by myself.
