What Is And What Should Never Be

Chapter 1: I'll Never Forget Your Smell Again

Toby's POV

"Drop it" I yell running in to their fight

"Toby it's me Spencer"

"Don't listen to her!" I point the gun back and fort between them.

"Look at me, you know me" I look back at everyone else to see.

"You guys come on! Seriously after everything that we've been through!" Says the same one who spoke before

"Oh my god, you really do believe what you're saying!?, you're crazy!" The other responds

Then Spencer starts crying and begs please, that's Spencer, that's gotta be her, I know that's my Spencer so I put the gun away and get closer to not-Spencer

I hear Spence sob again when I stand in front of her twin for a couple of seconds, this bitch really thinks she won, doesn't she?

I grab her hands behind her back once I'm confident she won't attack back

"Tell me your favorite poem from the book you gave me" the twin can't know that, only Spencer would know what book and what poem

I look right at the twin waiting for an answer when i hear the first sentence

I look back at Spencer reciting the poem, she smiles at the end, I knew it, that's my Spencer.

Then some cop comes in because Mona claims she called 911, she takes this bitch and handcuffs her and I run right back to my Spencer and hold her tight in my arms, I hear a couple more sobs escape her mouth.

"Please don't let me go"

"I won't, don't worry I won't"

I pull her even closer to me and smell her hair

"I'll never forget your smell again" I say and she chuckles, then pulls away from our hug

"Can we get out of here?" She says wiping her tears

"Of course"

She turns around and all the girls, Mona and Caleb hug her, then Ezra does too and thank her for saving his life.

We all get back up to the house and surprisingly enough there aren't any cops, ambulances or press, I don't understand why but I'm glad, its probably better for Spencer.

"I think I should take you to the hospital"

"No, no please don't, Toby I'm fine, I swear"

"Spence" I said signing

"Look I swear, please in the hospital they'll ask too many questions"

"Okay do you want me to take you home, then?"

"No, that'll be worse, my mom will ask even more questions"

"You know you have to tell her eventually, right?"

"Yeah, I just want a break from all this, just one night"

"So where do you wanna go?"

"Could you take me to the lost woods?"

"Sure, but Spence"

"Yeah?"

"Call your mom, she's probably worried"

"Okay, I will" she says, then I guide her to my truck (well her truck) and let everyone know she wants to spend the night at the lost woods, aria says she'll take Ezra to the hospital, and everyone else just goes home, I assume.

When we get to the hotel, Spencer goes to the lobby and goes behind the desk.

"Spence, you should come upstairs and sleep"

"Yeah, I know, I'm just checking for an empty room I could take"

"What are you taking about?!? No way, no, come to my room, I'm not gonna let you be alone tonight"

"Toby your room only has one bed"

"I'll sleep on the floor, I don't care, I'm not gonna leave you alone"

"Okay that's sweet, but I'm not letting you sleep on the floor"

"Look just come upstairs we'll figure it out, come on, you look exhausted"

"I am" she says chuckling

"Let's go then" I say holding my arm out for her, she gives up and follows me up the stairs.

I let her in and the first thing she does is lay down on the bed

"Oh my god, I'm so tired"

"You look tired, go to sleep"

"Where are you gonna sleep?"

"Who cares? Spence its okay to think about your needs before everyone else's for once"

"Look I'm not gonna sleep until you promise me you won't take the floor"

"Well I'll sleep on the couch I guess" I look back at her and she gives an  are-you-shitting-me look

"Don't be ridiculous you're sleeping on this bed. Period"

"You don't mind?"

"Of course not and I swear to god Tobias if I wake up and you're sleeping on the floor, I'm gonna be so mad"

"I bet" I say chuckling "do you wanna borrow some of my pyjamas?"

"If its not a problem" I open my suitcase and the first one I see is blue just like the one I wore when Spencer and I spend the night at the Edgewood motorcourt, so I hold it up and ask "Top or bottom?" She looked up at me and laughed

"Speaking of, I never gave you back that top, did I?"

"I don't think so, but its okay, you looked better in it than I did"

"Yea, you said so" she says chuckling

"Here you can have both this time" I said handing the pyjamas to her

"Just get me the top, for old times sake, besides its not like it'd fit in these" she says looking at the pants and laughing

"Okay, I'll change in bathroom and just tell me when you're done and I can walk out" I said still chuckling a little from her previous joke

"Alright"

I walk into the bathroom and once I'm done changing, I sit on the border of the bathtub and get a good look at the place

Damn, Spence really did a great job renovating this place, it didn't hit me how great it looked until I realize all the effort she put in every small detail, everything's perfect, just like her.

"Spence, you ready?" I ask knocking on the door

"Yeah, yeah sorry you can come out" she says and once I walk out, I see she's facing away from me and just putting on the shirt, she's just in her underwear right now, only for a few seconds until my shirt falls down on her body, then she turns around and I'm still staring like a perv but once she smiles at me, I can't stop myself from smiling back.

She sits down on the bed and gestures for me to take the space next to her

"Do you wanna finish that game?" She says pointing at the scrabble board that I left on my nightstand

"Maybe tomorrow, you should get some sleep"

"I think we need to talk about some things Toby"

"I agree but we can do it tomorrow, come on honey, go to sleep" after I say that she lays down on the bed and chuckles

"What?" I said laughing a little too

"You called me honey" she says smiling and then she closes her eyes and not long after, she's already asleep, which makes me confident enough to lean down and kiss her forehead
