Elizabeth let herself in, she had a key now she thought happily
Daniel was on the couch, a bottle of whiskey sat on the coffee table, he held a glass cup half full, of whiskey she assumed
She had never seen him like this. "I should go" she said. "You probably want to be alone"
"No, soon we'll be married. Stay" he said.
He took her hand in both his "I love you more than anything, that's why this is soo hard" he said.
"Lizzy...I...I'm not sure you and Jenna should move in"
"What?! Why?!" She said obviously hurt.
"I came home tonight, I heard crying, I went upstairs and Spencer, Toby's girlfriend, was in the corner, half-naked bawling her eyes out" he said
"It looked bad...I accused him of raping her" he said getting choked up. "He says he didn't and I want to believe him..." He paused
"But..." Elizabeth prodded
"I asked her and she didn't deny it" he said darkly.
"If he's getting violent, physically...sexually violent, I don't want Jenna here"
"Well, Jenna's a big girl" Elizabeth started "she can handle herself, I'll talk to her"
Just then Spencer burst through the door. She was wearing sweats and looked like she'd been crying the whole time she'd been gone.
She glanced at them before heading upstairs without a word. Daniel had given Spencer free reign to come and go as she pleased a long time ago. She didn't understand it. Elizabeth shook her head. "What does she live here?" Elizabeth said irritated
"That's a relief" he said cheerfully "it must have just been a fight just like he said!"
"Hey, I got an idea" Elizabeth said "why don't I see if they want some of that cake in the fridge?"
She walked upstairs.
She heard them both say "I'm sorrys" and smiled. Daniel and his over active imagination.
Her stomach quickly plummeted
"I'll never do that to you EVER again" Toby said.
She quickly tiptoed back downstairs.
"Everything alright?" Daniel asked.
"Yes" Elizabeth said "they're not hungry" she didn't want anything to interfere with her and Jenna moving in she would just have to speak with her, before they moved in.
Toby had paced back and forth for hours. He alternated between pacing and throwing himself on the bed and staring at his phone.
"Please call" he prayed "please"
He'd let jealousy get the best of him and now Spencer might never speak to him again.
He still wasn't sure what exactly he'd done that made her so upset.
He'd kissed her affectionately, told her how much he loved her, what else was there? He was pretty sure he hadn't hurt her.
He was staring up at the ceiling, he'd pretty much convinced himself they were over, when she walked in. He didn't notice her at first.
"I'm sorry" she said her eyes full of tears.
He got off the bed and in 2 steps he had her in his arms once again.
"No, baby, I'm sorry" he said rubbing her back "I'm never EVER going to do that to you again" he held her tightly kissing the top of her head. He kissed her eyelids lightly before she lifted her head and kissed him
"We should talk about what happened this afternoon" she said solemnly.
He nodded. He motioned to the chair and laid back down on the bed, propping his head up.
She stood there looking at the chair and then she started picking at her fingernails.
Oh god he thought she's gonna break up with me. He waited for her to say something. She sniffled a little and then walked over and climbed into the bed with him. She laid down next to him, putting her head on his chest. He rubbed her back trying to think of what to say.
"I love you so much" she said "that's why..."
"Why what" he asked still worried she was gonna break up with him
"I told Aria about us" she said quietly
"What?" he asked.
"She's going to be my alibi from now on" she said solemnly "she promised not to tell Ali, she promised not to tell anyone"
Toby was speechless.
"I will tell them, it's just..."
"Baby steps" Toby said knowingly
He tried to hide the fact he was intensely happy. Someone knew, not just someone, one of her best friends. For the first time he felt like she wasn't ashamed of him, of them.
He turned toward her prying her mouth open with his. When he pulled away she rolled over onto her back, unzipping her sweatshirt revealing a black lacy bra. Toby turned towards her and zipped her sweatshirt back up.
"Toby?" Spencer said sounding hurt.
"We aren't having sex, tonight" Toby said with finality.
Spencer looked like she might cry.
"Do you want me to leave?" She said her voice cracking.
"God no, I want you in my arms, please stay the night with me?" Toby said.
She cozied up to him, she didn't voice it but she felt they wouldn't get past this until they had sex again.
She slipped her hand up the front of his shirt, but he grabbed her hand bringing it to his lips and kissing it gently.
"Go to sleep Spencer" he said
She grumbled and pouted before closing her eyes.
