Hey, this is my first time writing a fanfic. So, no harsh judgments please? Okay, well here it goes.

Emily's POV

It was a late Friday afternoon, Emily had just arrived home from school. She tossed her bag at the end of the bed, and sighed. It had been a long day at Rosewood high, and all the stress started to consume her. She tried to talk to Paige about Shana, and their summer romance, but Paige stormed off and had rejected Emily's calls and texts. She just couldn't believe it.

"Why would Paige not tell me"? Emily whispered to herself.

Emily thought that maybe this relationship wouldn't be so hard. That after everything she had been through, she wouldn't have to worry about Paige. But clearly, she was wrong. Her thoughts were interrupted by the chime of her phone. The text was from an anonymous sender. Emily debated on whether she should open it or not. But at last, she entered the pass-code and read the text.

Em,

I thought I could stay away from you, but I can't. You're like my favorite candy, that I can't get away from. These past year, you have always been on my mind. I hate the last time we saw each other. And I'm sorry I stormed off like that. It wasn't right. And I hope that I'm not too late and you haven't already moved on. But if I am, well I guess its my loss. I just needed to tell you that I'm sorry. And I still care about you, so I'll wait.

- S

"S, who could that be"? Emily thought.

Emily thought of who it might be all night, until she drifted into a deep sleep.

Next day.

Emily's POV

It was six o'clock in the morning. Emily had already got dressed and cleaned, ready for her morning run. She kissed her mom on the way out, and grabbed an apple out of the basket. She loved the smell of wet grass, and the sound of birds chirping. The sun was just rising and Emily loved the view. By the time she got around to Spencer's house Emily had already called her and asked if she wanted to join. Spencer was just finishing tying her shoes when Emily arrived on the front porch.

"Morning Spence." Em playfully said.

"Good morning Em." Spencer replied.

As they continued their run, their usual gossip had started. They sat down at a picnic table at the park for a well needed break.

"So, Em. How are things with Paige?" Spencer asked.

" Things aren't so good at the moment." Emily sighed.

"Oh, trouble in paradise I see."

"I don't know Spence. I think it's time that I leave paradise."

" Well, what happened?" Spencer replied.

" I found out about her and Shana. She lied to me, Spence. I don't know if I can trust her."

" Do you love her?"

" I don't know. No, I guess. I care about her, but I feel stuck. It's like she threw me into a pit of Paige. She's suffocating me. She's like that overly obsessed girl from Tumblr. I just don't feel the chemistry between us. Come to think of it, we've never had it."

" Well Em, I think you should leave. She's, uh, no offense but crazy. I've told you before, but you didn't listen. I never really saw anything in her. Em, I know you deserve better, and she was definitely a major downgrade from Maya. I just want to see you be truly happy." Spencer rambled.

" Thanks, Spence. It means a lot to me that you care." Emily said.

Spencer was staring at the ground, lost in thought.

" Spence?"

Spencer looked up lovingly into Em's eyes. She felt Spencer hand grab her own, but never broke the eye contact.

" Em, I am always going to care about you. No matter what." Spencer whispered.

Emily, too dazed to be aware that Spencer was exceeding close to her face.

" Em, I need to tell you something."

Already lost in her thoughts, Emily was staring at their conjoined hands.

" What is it Spence?"

Before she knew it, she could feel Spencer's soft smooth lips upon her own, gently grazing them in a soft embrace. She opened her mouth a lit, just enough for Spencer to slyly flick the tip of her tongue on Em's bottom lip. She could feel Spencer's minty, hot breath, and taste the sweet strawberry chapstick she was wearing. Emily broke the kiss only to catch her breath. She looked up at Spencer with questioning eyes. Spencer wore a worried expression, and backed away from Emily's body.

"I, I... I'm so sorry Em" Spencer exclaimed before she dashed away.
