Chapter 9
A week before the wedding and tonight was the co-joined bachelor/bachelorette party. Caleb and Hanna wanted to have it joined for some unknown reason, but everyone was cool with it.
They were having it at one of their usual bar's and Spencer had organised the whole thing. They had just finished getting ready, and Spencer and Alison went into the back and picked up a tiara and a sash that said 'bride to be' on it.
"I'm kinda depressed that I can't drink tonight." Aria frowned. "But, it's worth it."
Spencer smiled as she put the sash over Hanna, "Yes it will. Okay, you're ready."
"Good." Hanna grinned. "Is it time to go yet?"
Spencer checked her watch, "It is." She smiled and the girls left. They met the guys at the club where Toby had already bought the first round. "You just couldn't wait, could you?" Spencer laughed sitting beside Toby.
"You were taking too long. We were gonna be dehydrated." Toby replied.
Spencer rolled her eyes playfully, "If you say so."
A few hours later and everyone was rather wasted. Hanna was having one of the best nights of her life and she was extremely grateful to Spencer who had made it that way. Hanna walked over to Spencer, "Thank you so much for making this possible, Spence. Seriously, without you, none of this would be possible."
"Oh, you're welcome, Han. It's actually been fun planning it, even if it's stressful at times. I'm definitely going to miss planning it when it's over." Spencer replied.
Hanna smiled, "Then you can plan Jason's wedding."
"Yeah, I guess so. If he wants me to." Spencer replied.
"Once he sees how amazing my wedding is because of you, he will want you to." Hanna said, and Spencer grinned. "Anyway, Caleb and I are gonna head off, end the night with a bang if you know what I mean." Hanna said, winking at Spencer.
"TMI, Han." Spencer laughed. "I'll see you tomorrow for the final dress fitting."
Hanna nodded and hugged Spencer before finding Caleb and leaving. Spencer's cell went off so she pulled it out of her pocket and answered, "Hello?"
"Spencer, it's Ashley. Hanna's mother."
Spencer smiled to herself, "Hey, Miss Marin. How are you?"
"I'm fine, Spencer but I'm sure you know why I'm calling. I can't take any money from you." She replied.
"I understand what you mean, but think of Hanna. It's her wedding, it's her big day and it's probably the only one she will ever have. If the person she loves most in the world, the person who brought her up for eighteen years, isn't there then it will crush her." Spencer exclaimed.
Ashley sighed, "I will pay you back."
"Don't worry about it, I won't miss it." Spencer replied. "All that matters is that Hanna and Caleb are happy."
Spencer could hear the smile in Ashley's voice, "You're a good friend, Spencer."
"Thank you, Miss Marin. I'll see you when I pick you up from the airport." Spencer said, and Ashley agreed before hanging up the phone.
Spencer was picking Ashley up two days before the wedding, the day of the rehearsal dinner. Hanna didn't know about it, and Spencer planned to surprise her. Spencer found Alison on the dance floor with Aria and Ezra. "Hey Alison, can we talk for a second?"
"Sure." Alison said, following Spencer to the bar. "What did you want to talk about?"
Spencer bit her lip, "You know how Hanna was really upset that her mom won't be at her wedding?" Alison nodded, so she carried on. "I gave her a cheque so that she could get a flight out here."
"You did?" Alison smiled. "Hanna's going to be so happy!"
Spencer nodded, "That's why I did it. She has always been close with her mom, and with them living in different countries its hard for them, you know?"
"Yeah. I understand." Alison smiled. "Are you coming to dance?"
Spencer eyed Toby, who was sat alone in a booth with his arms folded and his head rested on top. "Nah, I think I'll sit this one out."
"Okay." Alison replied and went off to dance with Aria and Ezra.
Spencer's phone made a noise signalling she had a text. She pulled it out and read it.
'Just to let you know, your father and I will be attending Hanna's wedding. Mom.'
Spencer sighed and rolled her eyes, feeling awful for ever inviting them. Who's to know if they wouldn't bring Melissa? Spencer stood up from her seat and walked over to Toby. "Hey handsome, is this seat taken?" She spoke in a higher voice - or tried to.
Toby looked up, about to say no until he realised it was Spencer, "Hey."
"Hey." She smiled, sitting opposite him. "Everything okay?"
Toby nodded, "Uh-huh. I've had too much to drink."
"I can relate." Spencer laughed, checking her watch. "It's only eleven. There's no point in stopping now." She motioned over a waiter and ordered some drinks. The waiter was back with them quick enough. "Let's drink to Hanna and Caleb."
"Hanna and Caleb." Toby repeated, clinking his glass with hers, them both taking a long gulp.
It was two in the morning before Spencer and Toby decided to leave. They were both in the back of a taxi heading to Spencer's apartment since Toby was crashing on the couch.
"Can you remember the last time we were this drunk?" Spencer giggled.
Toby nodded, "Yeah, we were a little crazy."
"A little? Try a lot." Spencer replied. "I don't know what we were thinking."
Toby laughed, "Me either. We've been best friends for so long, and we were drunk..."
"Yeah as if anything would ever happen between us anyway..." Spencer laughed slightly, looking at him.
Toby nodded, "Uh-huh. We weren't thinking..." He looked at her. The two leant in and joined their lips in a moment of passion.
The next morning, Spencer awoke to her phone ringing. She groaned and answered it, "Hello?" She croaked.
"Spencer! Where the hell are you?!" Hanna yelled. "And where is Alison?! Aria, Mona, Emily and Samara are already here!"
Spencer's eyes shot open, "Oh, shit. Hanna I'm sorry, I overslept! I'll go see if Alison's in her room."
"You better hurry, Spence!" Hanna exclaimed, hanging up.
Spencer jumped out of bed and ran in the bathroom to get ready. She emerged twenty minutes later and walked out of her bedroom, to find Toby still asleep on the couch. She went straight into Alison's room. Alison was curled up asleep next to Noel. "Alison!" She whisper-yelled, shaking her best friend. "Wake up, Alison!"
Alison shook her head.
"We have a dress fitting that we were supposed to be at an hour ago! Wake up!" Spencer exclaimed, trying to be quiet.
Alison's eyes popped up, "Shit!" She said as she detangled herself from Noel. "I'll be ten minutes!"
Alison turned out being half an hour later, and they were finally out of the door, careful not to wake Toby and Noel. They arrived at the bridal store and were instantly greeted by the girls.
"Finally!" Hanna exclaimed. "Where have you been?!"
"Sorry, sorry. We were out late last night, and we overslept." Spencer replied.
"No, Spencer was out late. I was just up late. What time did you get back?" Alison asked Spencer.
Spencer looked down and shrugged, "I think we got a taxi back about three."
"Wait, we?" Aria asked.
Spencer nodded, "Uh-huh. Toby and I."
"I see." Aria smirked. "...And you just got a taxi back and went to sleep?"
Spencer avoided the girls' eyes and pressed her lips together, "Yep." She said, popping the p.
"Really?" Hanna asked.
Spencer sighed and shook her head, "Noo." She dragged out the 'o', slightly.
"What happened?" Emily asked.
Spencer bit her lip, "We kissed."
"Again?!" Alison exclaimed. "Geez, Spence. What is going on with you two?"
Hanna, Aria and Emily stared at Spencer with wide eyes, "Again?! When did it happen before?" Hanna asked.
Spencer shot Alison a death glare.
"Sorry." Alison said.
"We kissed at your engagement party. Look, it was no big deal. Just like it's no big deal we kissed in the taxi." Spencer explained.
Aria rose her eyebrow, "It's kind of a big deal, Spence."
"No, it's not. We've been best friends for so long, it's only natural something like this happened." Spencer answered. "It's over, and it's not going to happen again."
Alison cocked her head to the side, "You sure you want that, sweetie?"
Spencer sighed and hesitantly nodded her head, "Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure."
