Moving On and Letting Go

Chapter 15: What Happens in Vegas part 3

Maybe if he didn't take that dumb job in California, they'd have a chance. They might even already be married. But he already ruined that and there was nothing he could do. He lost her.

Spencer Hastings woke up to an extremely bright light shining through her windows. She groaned in pain, the sun along with a huge pounding in her head was too much for her. She blinked a few times, trying to adjust and also trying to figure out where she was. She scanned her surroundings. She was in a hotel room. She remembered she was in Vegas, but the last thing she remembered was having drinks in the bar downstairs. With Toby.

She felt someone move beside her. When she looked over at the figure, she let out a scream, causing the mysterious person to scream as well. It was Toby. She also just realized she wasn't wearing any clothes. She was naked. In bed. With Toby. Crap.

"Oh, my god!" she said after they both calmed down. "How the hell did this happen?!"

Toby rubbed his head, his head throbbing as well, "Well, I think we slept together."

"Oh thanks Captain Obvious, great observation!" Spencer said sarcastically. "God, how could we let this happen?"

"Spence, we were drunk. We had no control over what were doing." Toby says, calmly.

"Yeah, but you're engaged and getting married next weekend! And I have a boyfriend! This is not okay!" she argues.

Toby groans, slamming himself against the pillows. "So what do we tell them?"

"Nothing. They can't know about this." She states.

"Spence-"

"No. Listen, we both agree this was a mistake right?" she asks.

Toby hesitates, but says, "Yes."

"Then why she would tell them. We were drunk and it didn't mean anything. They never have to know."

Toby closes his eyes tightly, digesting what she just said. Didn't mean anything. To him it meant everything. But what was he supposed to do, other than agree. "Okay, so we never bring this up again?"

Spencer nods. "Like it never happened."

The Gang was meeting up for brunch at noon in the hotels café. When Spencer got down there, everyone was already there, minus Toby and Hallie. Before she sat down, she made eye contact with Ezra. She raised her eyebrows and signal for 'how did it go?' to which he gave her a thumbs up, making her smile. She took the empty seat between Aria and Drew, who went to give her a kiss, but she turned to he kissed her cheek. It wasn't long before Toby and Hallie joined them, sitting right across from Drew and Spencer. Spencer was relieved that Hallie looked normal, and not angry.

The drinks soon arrived and Ezra stood up to make a toast.

"First off I'd like to say that having everyone here, my closest friends, has been amazing. And I'm glad you could all be here when I announce something I'm very excited about." Ezra smiled, looking at Aria, "Last night me and Aria got engaged."

Aria smiled, holding up her left hand to show off the ring. Everyone cheered, awing over the ring.

"Congrats Aria, I'm so happy for you! Both of you!" Spencer said, giving her best friend a side hug.

"Thanks!" Aria blushed, before turning to Hanna and Caleb, who were across for her. "Now what's going on with you two? You look happy over there."

Hanna and Caleb smiled, exchanging glances. "Well since you bring it up, Caleb and I have decided to get back together." Hanna gushes.

Caleb adds, "We're not engaged but it's a start."

"That's great guys!" Emily says happily, "And Samara and I have some news as well."

Samara smiles, grabbing Emily's hand, "Last night, Emily and I got married.

'Oh my God's and 'congratulations' were exchanged from everyone at the table.

"Since everyone is sharing their exciting news, last night Drew and I did something pretty exciting too." Ryan states.

"Oh my God, you two got married?" Spencer asks, jokingly. Everyone laughs.

"Not quite," Ryan laughs, "We got lucky on the slots and won the lottery!"

Everyone gasped and cheered. Ryan continued saying, "Food's on us today!" Everyone clinked their glasses in the middle of the table on all of the good news.

"Spence, I hope you weren't to lonely last night. Ryan and I spent the night celebrating." Drew said, sipping from his glass.

Spencer coughed nervously. "Um, I was fine. I crashed as soon as I got back to the room. I barely noticed you were gone." She and Toby quickly glanced at each other.

Hallie then spoke up, "So Toby, where were you last night? I don't think you ever came back to the room last night."

Toby cleared his throat, "Um, I ended up crashing in the casino. Yeah, I think I had a little to much to drink."

"Oh, okay," Hallie said awkwardly. The table fell silent. Luckily the waiter came by to order our meals and broke the silence.

Everyone was at the airport by two 'o' clock to go back home. After getting her bags checked in, Spencer stood by the windows, watching the planes take off, like she did before coming to Las Vegas. And just like last time, it wasn't long before Toby joined her.

"Hey," he said softly, "Are you okay?"

She sighed. "No. I don't like keeping secrets, you know that better than anyone else."

"I know, but we also know better than anyone else that sometimes the truth does more harm than good. I mean, isn't that what we agreed on this morning?" Toby said.

"Yeah, I don't want to ruin things for you and Hallie." Spencer told him.

"What about you and Drew?" he questioned.

"We're not getting married Saturday. I'm not wearing a ring." She stated.

Toby sighed. He really wanted to tell her the he wished he gave her the ring. But it was too late. Maybe if he didn't take that dumb job in California, they'd have a chance. They might even already be married. But he already ruined that and there was nothing he could do. He lost her.

Soon their flight was called over the intercom and they made their way to the terminal and back home.
