Hanna, Aria, Emily, and Spencer walked down the hallway of Rosewood high on the way to their final class. The girls were buzzing because Spencer had suggested that the girls have a sleepover at her house that night since her parents would be out of town to go visit Melissa in Philly for the weekend. Emily was particularly excited because she would take any excuse to spend an extended period of time with Hanna Marin.

Even when Alison DiLaurintis would call her "Hefty Hanna" Emily always saw the beauty in her perfect hair and the way her eyes lit up when she talked about almost anything, her naturally peppy personality was irresistable to Em. She remained silent through Sean, and Caleb, and now Travis only because she was terrified of losing her as a friend too. To try to fill her desire she had been with several girls. Watching the girl she loved transform from "hefty" to Queen Bee and only intensified her feelings for her bestfriend, to the point it was almost painful. Jealousy and lust filled her everyday when she watched her talk to other people, boys. It made her almost mad that she could love someone so much and the feeling not be mutual.

"So I'll see you later then Em?" Spencer asked breaking Emily from her thoughts.

"Yeah definately.." She replied still not totally back to reality.

Spencer walked off to her class, Aria tried to seem casual walking into Mr. Fitz' classroom, and Hanna to her locker. Emily couldnt help herself but to notice her perfect curves, her perfectly styled hair, and the way her legs looked in that mini skirt with heels. She felt her mouth go a little slack and she lost track of everyone in the hallway staring at the blonde godess. She took one step towards her, without any idea what she was going to say. Maybe offer her a ride to Spencers, anything. She was stopped short, though, at the sight of Travis approaching her and leaning against a locker next to her. Emily looked down, a slight blush finding its way up her face. She turned towards her locker 'let it go Emily. Its never going to happen.' she told herself. With that the swimmer slammed her locker and strode off to math realizing she was almost late.

-Hanna-

After Travis left my locker asking me to a nice dinner tomorrow I glided out to my last period of the day: math. At least Emily was in the same class so someone could tutor me the night before a big exam school not being a particular high point of mine. I walked in and found my seat across the isle from Em.

"Hey you excited for tonight?" I leaned over and asked because everyone was still chatting before the bell.

"Yeah, itll be fun. I need some time away form everything, you know?" I did know.

Her and Paige had just ended and so had Caleb and I. We both were feeling an overwhelming sense of being alone, and not quite good enough for anyone, losing someone we loved. Of course i still had Travis, he was nice, and a real gentleman, but he just wasn't...me.

"Oh yeah definately," i replied "I need some girl time before tomorrow night."

"Whats tomorrow night?"

"Travis wants to go out so I have to be all girl for him the whole time." I replied with a little sigh.

"I thought you liked him. You know him helping your mom and all..." She trailed off. Yes travis had gotten my mother out of some...legal trouble, but I dont want to date someone out of debt, but only of love, or at least interest.

"I-" the bell rang and class began. "later." I assured her.

The rest of the class was dull and incomprehensive as usual, and when the final bell rang Em stopped me.

"Hey can I give you a ride tonight?" She asked without making much eye conact.

"Yeah of course. Any specific reason?" I asked with a little laugh.

"No...I mean...I don't know. I just wanted to see you before everyone was around. No biggie." she stammered.

Even though that was a little bit questionable she obviously wasn't comfortable continuing talking about it so I simply accepted thanked her and went out to my car, sitting at the wheel for a few moments to just relax. This day was long, and it wasnt gonna end any time soon. As I drove home everything reminded me of Caleb. Just one of those days where you miss everyone. Then I was glad Em offered to drive me, she was right, we both needed time with our bestfriends to just be ourselves.

-no pov-

Emily dried off after a rough practice when someones hands reached from behind to cover her eyes. She turned quickly to see Paige standing grinning like she didn't have a care in the world. "Hey!" she said a little excited. Emily felt her stomache drop a little; although her heart urned for Han through their relationship she had developed a few feelings for Paige anyway.

"Whats up?" she asked when they parted.

"I know we wanted to not be so close since were both going seprate ways after graduation, but you know... why can't i take a beautiful girl out on dinner and enjoy it my senior year?" she said slyly in that tone that she knew made Emily want her. Of course she wanted to go, and as she said yes, she thought about Hanna, and why she couldnt take out her beautiful girl out her senior year. Paige pulled her in again and whispered 'thank you' in her ear, with that she walked out of the locker room leaving Em alone in the wet concrete room not knowing if she had just made a good decision, or a huge mistake. The entire way home she thought of Hanna, and the question of why she couldnt have her lingered in her mind. The more she thought about it the more unfair it was that she couldnt just be happy with someone she loved before she graduated and it was too late. 'Youve waited almost five years for an opportunity to be with her, and the clock is ticking, time up.' she told herself. Thats when Emily Fields decided that tonight was the night. Hanna Marin was going to know whats up, and any bitch that gets in the way will have to deal with the fury of Emily herself.
