It was just supposed to be another spring day, one where she was allowed to just feel like a normal person for a change. But of course that's not how it was, the night before she had kissed her new found lust maybe even love interest, Sara. Emily had a soft spot for a girl with a big heart, and after all they had been through it just felt right. Maybe she was crazy for thinking this was a good idea but recently Emily's outlook on life had changed. You had to live like there's no tomorrow, because you would never know when it was going to be the last time you saw someone, the last time you got to tell someone you loved them. All of it was confusing yet was perfectly clear in her own head.

Walking into the house after school with Sara's hand in her own she heard chatter in the living room. With a puzzled look she quickly let go of the blondes hand and asked her to go upstairs. The voice she thought she heard filled her stomach with butterflies and knots all at the same time. Stepping into the living room she saw Paige sitting on the couch, talking to her mother. But as her eyes made their way to Emily they increased double in size with excitement. That smile Paige flashed was enough to make Emily melt.

"What–What are you doing here? I thought I talked you out of coming back? You were safer far away…" Her words weren't meant to be hurtful, she tried to show it was out of concern as to why she asked what she was doing there.

"After talking to your mom, she thought it would be best for me to come back. I shouldn't have run, but I didn't know what else to do. It seemed like the easy way out but the only thing I could do while you were here and I was there was worry." Paige's words were enough to cause tears to trickle out of the brunettes brown orbs. Stepping closer Paige wrapped her arms around Emily and held her close.

"I didn't want you to come back, you were so much better off there. There was no -A, no Rosewood bull–" she stopped short as her mother sat there, getting up to give them their space. As her mother left she sat down in the chair that was just occupied. A blonde girl sat at the stairs wondering who or what the reason this girl was here for.

"Emily, even if you don't see it all the time I do whatever it takes to protect you. For once I've realized being away from you isn't protecting you at all. I'm sorry it took me this long to figure it out."

Taken back by the words Emily felt her teeth sink into her lower lip. She didn't know how to tell Paige about all the things that had happened since she left. Her hands anxiously rubbing at the fabric of her leggings that hugged her thighs. "It can't be what it used to be. It doesn't matter how much has changed or now you're back…I feel like my heart was finally mended that I could be happy and all of a sudden you're here. Which I'm very happy about don't get me wrong. There's just, someone else."

Paige was stunned, stupefied for a lack of a better description. She suddenly found herself at a loss for words. "I–just remembered I told Sydney we could meet up for pizza and I'm running out of time."

Emily's heart sank into her stomach as she walked out the door. She wasn't happy with how things had gone but she couldn't deny she had Sara now, someone who seemed to understand what she was going through and was strong enough to keep pushing forward. Part of her wanted to run after Paige while the other half said she couldn't do that to her new found girlfriend. As she stood up she headed up the stairs completely ignoring the blonde sitting on the steps.

"Emily…" Sara muttered softly as she stood up. She didn't want to stir the pot, but she also didn't want her to stay upset when she didn't need to. As Emily finally made it into the bedroom she sat down with her head down, like someone who had just seen their dog get hit by a car. So cautiously Sara sat down beside her. Placing a hand on her back Emily could only keep herself together for so long.

"I don't know why she's here. I told her not to come back a few weeks ago and all of a sudden there she is." Emily said as a tear escaped her eye. "I'm not going to lie to you, I loved her. But she bailed on me like she didn't have a choice when she did. She could have stayed until graduation. But when I'm finally happy she shows up. Why can't I be happy for two minutes?" As she was preparing to keep rambling on she was stopped abruptly by a pair of soft pink lips crashing into her own. The blonde slowly laid her down kissing her gently.

Emily's hand traced her sides mindlessly as she forgot what had just happened. Not that she wasn't upset but it was clear Sara was showing she cared that she didn't need to worry about anything. "You don't have to listen to anyone but yourself. Your heart is yours to control. If your heart says something you need to listen to it. Unless your brain tells you it's a bad idea take the risk. Be who you want to be, and share that with someone special."

She was right, she couldn't let anyone tell her who to feel things for and who not to. Even if Paige hadn't mentioned feelings it was an underlying message as to why she had returned. Unless of course Emily was way off in thinking that way, but she was almost positive that was the reason. As Sara attempted to move her lips down the tan skinned girls neck Emily let out s soft moan "Baby–my mom is home, we can't."

Sara nodded slowly and found her way back onto the bed laying beside her. Disappointed she looked up towards the open bedroom door. Contemplating she wondered if she could just close it, getting whoever this girl was off of Emily's mind was the main focus. When Sara no longer heard Pam's voice Emily's phone vibrated as did Sara's the message read she'd gone to the store and she'd be back in an hour. Licking her lips she tossed her phone aside making her way closer to the brunette once more. Her legs now sitting on either side of her girlfriend she rolled her hips softly into Emily's.

Emily couldn't refuse the feeling she got every time Sara kissed her, but now this feeling was being mixed in and she liked it much to her surprise. There was no time for talking, no words needed to be said. They both knew what was happening and both seemed to be eager to engage in such activities. Sara's shirt was peeled off slowly as Emily kissed her neck. The petite blonde made soft moaning sounds mixed with whimpers of pleasure as she reached to pull the shirt off of Emily's tan skin, wanting to see her beautiful body.

-A short while later-

"I just–popped your cherry.." She said in disbelief. Sara panicked she hadn't meant any harm by it, but as it happened she was glad it was over quickly. "I'm sorry, I should have told you. But I wanted you, I wanted you to be my first."
