Emily jumped up and opened her eyes, unsure of where she was for a brief moment. She quickly noticed she was on Alison's couch. Alison was no where to be seen. Was everything just a really bad dream? She shut her eyes trying to relax, but flashes of Noel Kahn's head rolling around the floor forced her awake. Em walked into the kitchen to look for Alison. She was still missing. She looked for a note to see if Ali had indicated that she was leaving for a while but there was nothing.
As she looked up to the top of the staircase Emily heard Alison in the bathroom. Morning sickness…she thought to herself. Poor Ali was already having a hard time with this pregnancy. As if Spencer being in the hospital wasn't enough, dealing with Ali's morning sickness was yet another thing Emily had to worry about. She walked up the stairs ready to hold Ali's beautiful blonde hair back when suddenly, Ali walked through the door looking as gorgeous as ever.
"Did I wake you?" Emily could never understand how even when she wasn't feeling well Alison DiLaurentis managed to be the most stunning human being alive. "No, are you okay?"
"I'm fine Em, do you want breakfast?" After the kiss they shared a few nights ago there was a little bit of tension between the two. Nothing like the old days, but it was still there. They hadn't talked about their feelings towards each other still and to be honest, both felt like it was long overdue; yet no one made the first move. "Sure, I can make you some toast if you want?" Alison smiled at her amazing best friend "I'd love some toast right now." Emily nodded and headed to the kitchen to fix Alison some toast. Hopefully this would help make her stomach feel a bit better.
Breakfast was a bit quieter than the two had hoped but after everything that had happened in the past few days neither felt like talking. Emily's toast seemed to calm Ali's nausea and the two managed to get dressed to visit Spencer. Naturally, Emily decided to drive making sure Alison was okay the entire ride over to the hospital. They walked into the waiting room together and immediately saw Hanna, Aria, and Caleb. Ezra was still in Columbia and nobody felt brave enough to ask Aria how things were. The girls greeted each other, still a little numb after the incident. "Spencer's kind of groggy, her mom…Veronica…said they gave her some meds because of the pain" Aria informed everyone. It was still going to take some getting used to remembering that Mary Drake was actually Spencer's mom.
Caleb looked towards Hanna and then to the others "And Toby is still in a coma." The girls nodded. There's no way Toby's accident and Spencer getting shot on the same night was a coincidence. The brief silence was ended by Hanna offering some thoughts "They wrote a really nice obituary for Yvonne." Everyone agreed.
"Still no sign of Jenna?" Alison asked.
"No, she's still missing," Caleb said.
"Don't you think it's weird? She would have been here if she knew Toby was hurt. Do you think something happened to her?" Aria asked.
"Noel was AD…and he's dead" Emily spit out the words…Ali looked over and rubbed her shoulder. Aria had a brief flashback of New York and the Shana incident.
"God, we've killed everyone Jenna has ever cared about. Even her eyes" Hanna didn't mean it in a mean way, but her matter-of-fact statement made all of the girls feel a twinge in their side. If Spencer was with them she definitely would have had a remark for Hanna, but she was lying in a hospital bed with a bullet lodged in her shoulder.
"Well, Mrs. Hastings said Spencer is coming home tonight, so we could all go over then…do you wanna meet at her house around 7?" Aria asked, trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, that's perfect" Alison said. Everyone agreed, and the group slowly started to exit the waiting room.
