Show:Pretty Little Liars.
Pairing:Emily/Samara and others.
Rating. K
Summary:This is a femslash version of PLL. Meaning, instead of just Emily being the only lesbian character, all the girls are presumed to be lesbian. Much like my other PLL story, Aria, Hannah and Spencer will all have their own storylines just like Emily. Some might say that makes it AU, but I just say that makes it more fun. I don't feel like I should be limited to one lesbian character just because that's all the show wants to write for. I think it's much more interesting if I get to write for all the characters the same way I would for Emily.
This story takes place after season one and early part of season 2, but after that the story goes off on its own. This story deals primarily with the relationships of the main characters as well as my take on the murder of Alison, but it is not about solving A.
Disclaimer:I don't own anything. The characters belong to Sara Shepard and ABC Family.
Chapter 1.
Hannah rolled back the covers and slowly looked over at her clock. Her face went red as she realized it was almost noon and she jumped out of bed, ran into the bathroom and began her lengthy ritual of getting ready for the day.
Once she was looking suitably beautiful, she picked up her cell phone and fell back on her bed. She pushed Emily's number and rolled over onto her back, smiling widely at the picture of her and Emily from the beach.
Emily smiled just as widely as she saw Hannah's name pop up on her phone and she got to her feet, turned her computer off and rushed over to her bed, "Hi there. I was hoping you'd call, but I was beginning to wonder."
"I know, I can't believe I slept so late." Hanna sat up in her bed, her smile fading, replaced with a more serious look, "Did you want to talk about what happened last night?"
"I was hoping you'd forget, because I'm so embarrassed by what I did." Emily said, pulling the covers up over her face.
"It's fine. I know why you did it." Hannah said, smiling at the thought of Emily's face right now, "Samara was with that girl Quinn and you wanted to show her you weren't alone, but I didn't think you'd pick me to make your point with."
"I shouldn't have kissed you like that." Emily said, cringing at what Hannah might be thinking of her. She quickly sat up in her bed and continued, "Whatever was going on between Samara and I was not your problem."
"But you did kiss me." Hannah said calmly, "I guess what confused me the most was how long you kissed me."
"Well, to be fair, you kissed me back the whole time." Emily smiled.
"I just went with it. I couldn't very well stop with Samara watching."
"Oh, so that's all it was?" Emily asked, sounding more annoyed than she intended.
Hannah sat up in her bed, "Wait a minute, did you want it to be more?"
"No. No, of course not." Emily replied quickly. She got to her feet, walked over to her bedroom window and took a deep breath as she looked outside, "Anyway, I'm sorry I put you in that position and it will never happen again."
Hannah paused and got to her feet, "It wasn't bad. You are a good kisser."
"You're making me blush." Emily said with a laugh, "But seriously, is this going to affect our friendship, because I couldn't handle losing you as a friend."
"Are you kidding?" Hannah asked with a laugh, "Nothing is going to interfere with our friendship. That I can promise you."
"Okay good, I was hoping you'd say that, because I have a favor to ask."
"Name it."
Emily took a few moment to work up the courage to ask her favor, "You said your mom was going to be out of town this weekend, I was wondering if I could borrow your spare bedroom for Saturday night?"
Surprised by the question, Hannah took a few seconds to fully grasp what she was being asked, "Did something change between you and Samara since last night?"
"Actually yes." Emily said with a big smile, "She came over last night after the show and we had a really good talk and then we started kissing and things were really heating up and just as we were about to, you know, have sex, my mom starts calling for me. OMG, I almost died. Anyway, obviously we had to stop, but I've never felt so frustrated in all my life. Finally, things were moving somewhere and…anyway, that's why I need to be with Samara like now, but the weekend will have to do."
"That's asking a lot." Hannah took a breath and looked back at Emily's picture on her desk and she couldn't help but smile at how happy she looked and her beautiful smile appeared again, "Okay, if that's what you want and if you're ready for that, then the guest room is all yours."
"Thank you so much. I want to kiss you right now, but in a friendly kind of way, but you know what I mean." Emily said, grinning uncontrollably, "This means so much to me. So do you. I need to call Samara now, but thank you again, Hannah. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yep, I'll see you tomorrow." Hannah put her cell phone down and hopped back on her bed, but before she could muster a thought her cell phone began to ring. She reached out, picked it up and let out a smile at Mona's name popping up, "Hi Mona. You're rarely up this early, so is everything okay?"
"No Hannah, it's not okay." Mona said matter a factly, "I saw you last night and I can't believe you didn't tell me your secret."
"Um, what are you talking about?" Hannah questioned, rarely understanding Mona the first time around.
"Oh don't play dumb with me. I saw you kissing Emily." Mona said, sounding more like a woman scorned than a friend, "I mean, my god, that's huge. I just feel so hurt that you didn't trust me enough to talk to me about this. I can only imagine how confusing this must've been for you during the whole Caleb mess."
"Slow down." Hannah said, doing her best not to laugh out loud, "What you saw was Emily's attempt to make Samara jealous. That's all it was."
"Really?" Mona said with a questioning tone, "But, you were really kissing her back. That was real. I know you were into it. I'm not blind."
"You're mistaken." Hannah said, sounding rather unconvincing, "I just wanted to help Emily out. That's all."
"If you say so. But, if that's how you feel I guess there's nothing more for me to say."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing now." Mona said, the air quickly deflating from her usually perky attitude, "I read the situation wrong, so I'm going to let you go now and I'll talk to you soon."
"Mona. Mona." Hannah repeated, but as the dial tone appeared, she put her cell phone back on her night stand and fell back on her bed. She couldn't help but replay the conversation with Mona in here head over and over again, hoping to understand what it was all about.
Rosewood High School.
Spencer snuck up behind Aria, put her hands over her eyes and whispered in her ear, "Meet me in boiler room in 5 minutes and I'll make sure you don't regret it."
Aria smiled as Spencer's hands disappeared from her face, but as she turned around she was gone. Still smiling at Spencer's enticing offer, she closed her locker and briskly made her way down the hall.
She ran towards the boiler room, slowly opened the door and softly watched it close before moving forward in the dark, rather dingy room. She stepped over something she couldn't even recognize and thought about turning around and leaving, but the thought of Spencer's soft lips kept her motivated to march on.
Once she had tiptoed through most of the large, metal smelling room, she was beginning to think Spencer was just teasing her, when a tall, slender brunette walked towards her. Finally able to smile about something, Aria rushed towards Spencer and wrapped her arms around her and gave her a big hug, "As much as I love being alone with you, please never bring me here again. This place gives me the creeps."
"Oh, you're such a scaredy cat." Spencer said with a big grin, "Aside from a few rats, it's really not a bad place."
Aria jumped into the air and wrapped her legs around Spencer's waist, "Are you trying to get me to break up with you, because it's working."
"Oh stop." Spencer smiled, grabbing onto Aria's cute little ass so she didn't fall, "I couldn't think of anywhere else we could be alone. I kind of like how things turned out. Here we are, alone with you holding me tight, legs wrapped around me, I can't think of anything, well, almost anything I would like more."
"Well, I do like this part to, but I don't know if I can relax enough to kiss you properly." Aria said, batting her eyelashes at Spencer.
"Then I guess I should do whatever I can to relax you." Spencer smiled. She lowered Aria to the ground, put one hand around her waist, the other up over Aria's soft smooth cheek, all the while staring deep into her deliciously dark brown eyes, "I really do love being here with you. I know you hate keeping this from Emily and Hannah, but I don't know how much longer I can do that. You know they'd be happy for us, so what's the real reason?"
"Why would you want to get into that when you're just about to kiss me?" Aria said with a mock frown.
"We need to talk about this." Spencer said, backing away from Aria's soft sweet lips, "Emily is kind of seeing Samara and Hannah is the one who pointed out how close we were getting, so it's not like they'd be surprised or upset, so are you going to tell me why you are against them knowing?"
"You know all the secrets Alison kept and had us keep for her and we have secrets we keep from our family and even from each other and let's just say that one of those secrets could end up hurting you and I would rather not let that happen."
"Now you have to tell me." Spencer said, "You can't say something like that and think I'm going to let it go."
"Could we at least kiss first?" Aria said with a groan, "That is why you asked me here, right?"
"Aria, I'm not putting my lips anywhere near you until you clear this up." Spencer backed up, folder her arms across her chest and glared at her pretty friend, "Well?"
"Oh god. This is why I hate secrets, because they always come out at the worst possible moment." Aria took one step forward, looked down and quickly came to a halt, "I kind of dated Hannah earlier this year."
Spencer's face went white as she struggled to comprehend what Aria had just told her, "You did what?"
"I told you this wasn't a good idea." Aria said, trying her best to make light of the situation. With Spencer glaring daggers at her, she stopped smiling and continued, "Well, we were both lonely and we were spending a lot of time together and you know how things go, we kind of gave into our feelings and we continued to see each other for a few months."
"How could you keep that secret? There's no way Emily or I wouldn't have noticed. You can't be that good of an actress. I saw nothing between you two. In fact, you barely talked to each other and you really never made eye contact. I thought you were fighting. OMG. Well this changes things. I don't think I like knowing this."
"Come on Spencer." Aria groaned, "It was before we got together. It has nothing to do with us."
"Oh but it does." Spencer replied swiftly, "You felt the need to keep it a secret for a reason."
"Yes, to avoid this scene." Aria stated as if it were obvious, "Even if we weren't together I know that it would probably upset you and Emily, just because of how close we are. I know we should've told you, but we weren't sure it would last and guess what, it didn't. We knew we weren't right for each and we stopped seeing each other."
"I have to wonder about all this. I can almost see you not wanting Hannah to know about us, but what Emily? Did you sleep with her to?"
"Spencer? What kind of question is that?"
"A good one." Spencer snapped, barely stopping to breathe as she continued her interrogation, "Now answer."
"No. I have never slept with Emily." Aria said, holding in her urge to be offended, "The thing about Emily is she asked me point blank if something was going on between you and I and I lied to her. I guess she picked up on something, but I wasn't ready to tell anyone, so now if I tell her she'll know I lied to her and she'll hate me."
After a nice long sigh of relief, Spencer's smile slowly appeared on her face, "She's not going to hate you. She'll be upset and rightly so, but she's not one for holding grudges. She loves you and if she sees that you're happy she'll be fine. So, back to Hannah, are you really afraid to tell her about us?"
"Afraid is such a strong word." Aria said with a cute smile, "Maybe a little hesitant, but I can see that it's causing more problems keeping this secret than it's worth. "
"Now I have to ask this next question and it's pretty personal, but after what you told me I need an answer. Do you still have feelings for Hannah?"
"No." Aria stated emphatically, "I told you that we both agreed to end it. It was affecting our friendship, because it was just weird because it felt so awkward after we'd have sex and then tried to go back to just having a normal conversation."
"That's good to know. Is that how you feel about us? Do you think we're going to end the same way?"
"I didn't say that. We're not the same as me and Hannah." Aria said, quick to reassure Spencer, "Hannah and I were probably the closest of all of us. We grew up together and we've been friends since we were little. We shared our first kiss together and…"
"What? Hannah was your first kiss? You didn't tell me that either."
"Um, Spencer, we were like 12, it hardly counts." Aria said, not even trying to hold in her amusement.
"It counts to me." Spencer snapped, not finding anything funny about situation, "Once again it proves your point about how close you two are."
"We are close, but I'm with you and that's all that matters right now."
"To you maybe, but I always felt like I was competing with Hannah when we first got together, because you two have this amazing chemistry. You finish each other's sentences and have these inside jokes and now that I know you were more than just friends, it's really changed things for me."
"Maybe this is why Alison liked to keep secrets, because she knew the kind of damage they could do. I don't want to fight about this. Hannah is my friend. Emily is my friend. You are my girlfriend and I'm more than ready to tell them about us. Okay? You are the one I want to be with. Do you believe me?"
"I want to." Spencer said, her indecision clearly evident, "I just wonder if we're doomed because we were friends first. Why would you want to be with me when Hannah is the one you're so close to?"
"Spencer, please listen to me." Aria said, grabbing both of Spencer's arms firmly, "I want you. I want to be friends with Hannah and Emily. Can we kiss please, because I do not like fighting with you."
"Well, I don't want to fight either. I think maybe I need to be alone right now. I'm not mad, but I just need time to think."
"No. You don't need to think." Aria said as panic began to take over, "You know I'm the one for you. We know this. We are so good together. I will not let you do this."
"I'm not doing anything." Spencer said, turning away from Aria. She took a few steps forward, then stopped, "I just need to clear my head. I'll call you later."
"What about the kiss? Please just show me you still want to be with me."
"I'll call you later." Spencer said, a half smile appearing across her face as she disappeared through the dark room.
Aria shook her head in dismay at how quickly her life had been turned upside down.
