Hello everyone! I've been reading a lot of stories lately and I decided to try writing one. Well the fact is that English is not my mother tongue so I'm sorry in advance for any mistakes. I'll try to do my best! I'm a pretty little liars fun so the story that I wanna try is about Emily and Paige. I don't know how many chapters it will be. I'm on vacation right now so I'll try and update as much as possible. So give this story a try and tell me what you think about it.
Emily is a young girl attending college and openly gay after years of struggling. She meets Paige and they become friends but something's not quite right. That is, Paige saying some things and then doing the exact opposite. What will happen between them?
PROLOGUE
Emily POV
"I'm gay!" I finally said it. I finally said it to my best friend Liam after all this time. It took me so many years actually. I've known that guy since the first day of school and we've been like siblings for like 12 years. I don't have any brothers or sisters and neither does he. So we grew up together and we developed that kind of relationship. He is family to me and even though I love him so much I couldn't tell him till now. You might wonder what changed. Well let me tell you a little story.
Growing up I knew that something was different with me. I saw all my friends being in love but for me it was different. I was afraid of that feeling. I still am to be honest. I always found girls more appealing but I was scared to death to admit that I might be gay. So I kept it all inside and tried to convince myself that I was ok. Well I was till I turned 14. Then I met her. The one that changed me for good. The one that made me so sick of pretending. We met in school and started hanging out. Her name? Mandy. Simple isn't it? Well not for me. She was smart and funny and beautiful and all those things you'll admire in someone. A very good student and a great piano player. So we started hanging out with a bunch of people and we got really close. I mean we were like two magnets. And I didn't know the reason until it was too late for me to fix it. She was straight. I mean really straight! Actually I became friends with some of her boyfriends.
And then she met that guy Steve. He was ok I guess but what troubled me was the fact that me and him we were very much alike. And she always said how much we were alike in doing things. Emily this and Steve that. Then it hit me! I was jealous. And I realized that the jealousy I felt was not normal. I've never felt such feeling with anyone else. I wanted her all by myself. All her attention. I wanted to be the one who made her happy. But that wasn't the case apparently. Even though she broke up with him, the next one came.
And then the real trouble started. She got together with that guy who had a thing with our other best friend Anna first. So the whole thing was a secret and only me, her, him and his best friend knew. And why? Because when Anna figured it out a war had started. And I was in the middle, trying to protect Mandy but also trying to stick with Anna because she was right. It was a really bad move to do something with your best friend's ex. So when we were in high school everyone was mad. I tried to keep them both in my life but I couldn't stand hearing all those bad things. It drove me crazy. So Mandy and I started these series of mini fights when we were 16. For any possible reason. I was fed up from being secretly in love with her, watching her every day with her boyfriend and trying to maintain my friendship with both of them. So one day after a huge fight I told her. I told her that the reason for my behavior was that. And I didn't really wait for her to turn me down or anything. I just wanted to be honest with her. She took it better than I thought even though she didn't answer my texts for a whole week.
Nothing happened between us but I have to admit that all that trouble this story caused me made me more mature. I chose to go to a different school the following year so I wouldn't mess her up anymore. The good thing is that we still keep in touch. Even if it's a little awkward sometimes.
The rest of my high school years went by more smoothly. The school I went to was the same as Liam's. We were in different schools for some years because the other one was closer to my house. So it was easy for me to go there. I had someone. I met my other good friends there. Alex and Jerry. They are a couple for 5 years now. And Alex was a great advisor even though she's crazy.
The last year of high school I started hanging out with that guy Dean. I thought that I might try to act normal for once in my life. The fact is that he was really great. And we were friends before anything else. I really loved him and cared about him but when things got serious I couldn't feel it. That thing you feel when you want someone. When your whole body is on fire. That was it then. I tried but nothing happened. So I told myself to stop lying and live my truth.
The summer that followed I was invited to a party. What happened there? Well as far as I remember I had a great time! I met this girl named Joanna. I really liked her. So it's not really strange that when she told me to follow her to one of the rooms I did. The next morning I freaked out so much that I erased her number. It took me 6 months to tell what happened to anyone. Here we are now. Me, telling my best friend what happened that night.
"What?" Liam was looking at me with this strange expression. "I mean I thought about it, but what happened?" I was worried he might change his opinion about me but I had to take that risk. So I explained in little detail what happened and then…
"That's great! Way to go pal! I didn't know you had it in you tiger!" I was stunned! He was happy for me! He made a joke about it. I was relieved because he was the first to know. The days passed and when I found the courage I came out to my parents, my aunt and my other two friends.
