A/N: Spemily is my otp for Spencer and Emily. So this little thing came into my head, based off of a video I stumbled upon. There's some Spoby friendship, Emily/Toby friendship, Sparia and Hannily friendship. Most important though, is that this is AU so Alison is alive. She's the most OOC of the characters, I think. She's manipulative, of course, but she's not close friends with the liars. But she does manipulate them the most out of everybody. This really isn't canon but there are reference to canon things. Ezria. Haleb. Paily, Emaya, Wrencer etc.

Pulling her hair down from the ponytail it was in, Spencer smiled at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. She was only in underwear and a long shirt, but she was comfy and for such an early morning, she looked relatively put together. She wanted to put her hair back up, but the guest in her bed preferred it down. Just the thought made Spencer's smile grow and she had to duck her head to try to suppress it.

"Spence...?" the call was quiet and drowsy.

Spencer ran a hand through her hair, strolling into the bedroom. Emily's eyes weren't even open. The best thing about Spencer's parents going on vacations or trips was having the house to herself. For the past two months, that meant time with Emily. Yeah, she felt bad keeping their relationships under wraps. Emily had hated that with Paige. But Emily...Spencer really didn't want to do without her. And right now, this was the only way to be. And Emily was still happy. Turning off the light, Spencer watched Emily's eyes open.

"I'm right here," she said, though at this point it was unnecessary. She'd always been kind of awkward in when talking to someone she liked. But Emily made her forget...well, Emily made her forget...words. She crawled back into bed, pressing a kiss to Emily's cheek. The other girl, still half-asleep, made a small noise. It sounded half content and half disappointed. Emily rolled over, eyes fluttering open even more to reveal the dark chocolate irises shining there. Emily tangled their legs together, searching for body heat. "What?" Spencer laughed. Sleepy Emily was adorable. How she got a person this amazing, Spencer still wondered. It wasn't practical or logical. But when Spencer had told Emily that a few weeks prior, the other girl had simply replied that feelings weren't logical anyway, and to just let them be right. It was hard, but she was trying. After all, they may have made no sense, but they were definitely right.

"You've got to give a 'good morning' kiss the right way," Emily shrugged, the mischievous glint growing her eyes already. Spencer knew she wasn't asking for anything too dirty - that had all gone down last night, pun very much intended- so Spencer slid her hand to rest on Emily's smooth cheek. She pressed her lips against the other girl's fully and sweetly. Emily let out a small hum of satisfaction before moving her lips back against Spencer's. "I wish we could just lay here all day," Emily mumbled. Spencer quirked an eyebrow.

"Emily Fields, sit still all day?" she teased. Emily was better at doing nothing than Spencer was, for sure, but the girl was active. She couldn't really imagine her lying in bed all day. Emily smiled and Spencer shivered. She loved Emily's smile. Watching the corners of her mouth lift up, the small dimples that would appear...she couldn't help but study Emily. She was just so beautiful.

Emily linked their fingers together. Spencer knew what she was saying. She was saying that for Spencer, she would sit still all day. Spencer sure when they started to be able to speak silently, but she knew that it never ceased to amaze her. And there was a way their heartbeats moved together that amazed her too.

Yes, Spencer analyzed a lot of things about their relationship. But it was who she was. And this? The ascension from best friends to lovers? It was something she'd kind of experienced before, but with Emily it was a whole new level. And everything about it was so wondrous that she had to analyze it. She wasn't sure that it was legal for someone to be this happy. But if she ever had a moment of fear, Emily would send her a look. Or if they were alone, she'd kiss her. And all of those worries just vanished.

Spencer leaned in to kiss Emily again right as Emily's phone started buzzing. Groaning, the other girl grabbed it from the night stand. "Hanna. And Toby. Of course. No moment of peace can stay peaceful," she sighed, dropping it back on the table before rolling over to Spencer. Of course, the whole secretive nature of the relationship made the peaceful moments that much more rare and fleeting. Aria had texted Spencer several times last night but Spencer...didn't like to be interrupted. Her cell phone battery was on one end of the room and the body was on the other. She'd have to fix that sooner than later.

"School tomorrow. You're coming here after for homework help," Spencer said, before flushing. "I mean...do you want to come over after?" she smiled. She was a little abrasive sometimes. Emily laughed and smiled, pushing her hand into Spencer's hair, locking her gaze on the other girl's. That was another amazing and unnerving thing about Emily. Her gazes were absolutely mesmerizing. Spencer had lost coherency once when she'd looked into Emily's eyes. And that was when nothing remotely sexual was happening.

Yeah.

Emily was kind of perfect.


Spencer had coffee, black, in her hand as she raced up the school steps. Aria was waiting for her, phone in hand and exasperated look on her face. Spencer grabbed her arm, as gently as possible, and dragged her in the school building. First period was AP Russian History. Which meant no Emily. She'd like to see her girlfriend's smile before school started.

"Where were you all weekend? I thought you had finally died of stress," Aria asked, the alarm written all over her dollish features. Spencer took a gulp of her coffee, trying to ignore the weight of her bag from all of the text books.

"Close. Papers and tennis and other Hastings-esque activities. Just spent some time with myself and my textbooks, unfortunately," Spencer replied. It was a lie, but her crankiness from being awake at this hour definitely helped get the fake bitterness across. Aria looked skeptical for about a minute, until she caught sight of Mr. Fitz. The look of adoration really wasn't that subtle, and Spencer prayed that she was at least a little more concealed when she looked at Emily.

"Well I didn't hear from Em either. I was worried sick," Aria mumbled, though her attention was now more focused on her boyfriend than on Spencer, thankfully.

And to be fair, Spencer wasn't listening either.

She'd spotted Emily.

Emily was leaning against Spencer's locker, with Hanna by her side. The two girls were talking idly and Spencer that familiar urge to run over to Emily and hold her hand. She pushed it down and dragged Aria away from Mr. Fitz, towards their friends. Emily didn't even notice the two girls come over. Spencer hated this part. Having to fight for Emily's attention. She knew it was her fault anyway but the sting was still there. Spencer couldn't help how much she liked having Emily's attention.

The dark chocolate irises snapped up to meet Spencer's and relief soaked through her. The smile Emily sent her was no bigger than the one she gave Aria, but it was sweeter. And Spencer couldn't help the ridiculous grin that slipped onto her lips when Emily kept shifting her gaze back to Spencer.

"What's the smile for?" Hanna asked, that familiar, all too suspicious look on her face. Spencer licked her lips, trying to regain control of her muscles. "And where were you two all weekend? Was there some party Aria and I missed?" she continued. All amusement at the attention Emily was giving her died instantly. Spencer couldn't help but worry that Hanna would find out. But she remained cool and collected.

"Unless me being holed up in my room is a party, I'd say no," she replied, pushing past the girls gently to get into her locker. Hanna didn't look totally satisfied with her answer, which just made Spencer's heart drop into her stomach a little.

Right when Spencer was about to reply even more, Alison walked down the hall, pausing in front of the four girls. She looked over at Mona and nodded, the other girl smiling at Hanna before walking off. Honestly, Spencer had no idea why Hanna was friends with those two. Mona was five-feet of pure, insidious snark but she was better than 'Ali' in every way possible. Ali liked playing with people. And she really loved the four of them. Ever since Emily came out, Alison flirted with her just for thrills.

"Hi Em. You look very hot today. I'm very impressed," Alison mused, letting her eyes linger on Emily's body just long enough to spark rage in Spencer. Emily blushed, mumbling out a flustered thanks. Spencer didn't even realize that her jaw was clenching until Alison turned to her, laughing. "You okay there, Spencer? You look like you're seeing red."

Spencer ground her teeth. She had to control herself. That all-knowing look in Ali's eyes was making Spencer panic even more, and then she was furious and had the urge to wrap her arm around Emily, sending Alison away. But she couldn't.

"Well I'm not exactly a fan of my friends being fed on by vultures," Spencer replied, lips puckering in agitation before she forced herself into a saccharine smile. Aria reached over to rest her hand on Spencer's arm, as if cautioning her to calm down. Alison's eyebrow quirked up at Spencer's comment. Her own mouth opened, about to retort with an even more snide comment.

But before Ali could even say anything, something else happened. "Alison, back off. They don't need you, and Emily doesn't want you around," another voice all but growled. Spencer whipped around. Toby. He met Alison with an even, steely glare and she disappeared quickly. Spencer had never been more happy to see Toby in her life. She smiled at Toby, who returned it happily. She was about to turn to Emily when the bell rang. Aria and Emily scurried off, leaving Spencer alone with Hanna to finish getting her books. She couldn't shake the feeling that she should've given Emily a small kiss before she left.


"Say it again," Spencer found herself asking. She wasn't sure how the words were even audible, considering she was in an empty, locked, classroom with her lips pressed against Emily's, but she knew that Emily had heard, since the other girl giggled. Spencer stopped herself from blushing.

"Just let me kiss you," Emily replied, curling her hand around the back of Spencer's neck. And Spencer wanted to let her...but she wanted to hear the words again more. She let their lips brush against each others, but pulled back as Emily tried to part them with her tongue.

"Say it." So yeah, Spencer was pouting now. Whatever. No shame in pouting when you really needed something. "Em, please."

Emily smiled, pulling back a little, licking her lips. She slid her hand forward, thumb brushing gently over the apple of Spencer's cheek. She looked at Spencer, unflinching and making the other girl shiver.

"I'm yours," she said softly. Spencer smiled, pulling Emily closer and letting their lips meet again, and this time letting Emily deepen the kiss.


Girl time was still something Spencer wasn't good at. Strolling down the street with Aria, window shopping, was fun. And it was relaxing. Talking about books was fun. But Spencer's mind was designed to take ridiculous amounts of information, process it rapidly, and then shoot out the facts when necessary. And at the moment, Emily was the only one who could actually get that function to shut off.

"Where are Hanna and Emily?" Spencer asked. Aria shrugged, looking up from her text conversation with Mr. Fitz. She pulled Spencer into the nearest coffee shop so they could both refuel. That was a great thing that Spencer and Aria had in common; the ingrained need for caffeine.

"I don't know where Hanna is now, but she's picking up Em from swim practice later," Aria replied. Spencer nodded. She had known that Emily was at swim practice. As far as Spencer was concerned, Sunday practices were the devil. The two girls grabbed their coffees and moved to sit down on the nearest couch.

"So how's Ezra?" Spencer asked quietly. Aria beamed at the mention of Mr. Fitz.

"He's great. I'm seeing him tonight. You have any fun plans?" she asked. Spencer shook her head. She might be able to convince Emily to come over. But...her parents were home. So that might not happen. She was about to ask Aria another question when the other girl looked at her phone, eyes widening. "No way. Spence...look at what Hanna just sent me."

The hushed, concerned tone was enough to alarm Spencer a little bit. She grabbed Aria's phone, looking at the picture displayed there.

It was like getting hit with a brick. She felt like she couldn't breathe. Emily. Alison. In the locker room, Emily just dressed and clearly having just gotten out of the pool. And they were kissing. And...

"I've gotta go. My parents will be home any minute," Spencer murmured, completely numb. She walked to her car as fast as she could. The slid behind the wheel, trying to ignore the sting of tears that was pricking her ears.

Emily had kissed Alison.

In seconds, their perfect relationship had unraveled. Spencer felt like she was going to be sick as she started the car. Her heart was ripping apart and rising in throat each second. "Fuck. Fuck!" she shouted, slamming her hand against the wheel, accidentally hitting the horn and causing herself to jump.

The pressure in her chest finally broke and a sharp sob slipped out. Her body started shaking as the hot tears slid down her face at an agonizingly slow pace. The sobs were coming faster and harder.

Running into her house, Spencer slammed the door close, falling to the floor. Her phone was buzzing like crazy but she couldn't even see through the tears. Finally, she stopped trying to desperately catch her breath and her aching lungs were able to breathe again. The sobs grew heavier, but quieter. So this was what heartbreak felt like.

Spencer's whole world stopped spinning in that minute.

A/N: More to come! Hope this was a good start.
