INTRODUCTION

For a long time now, Shay Mitchell and Ashley Benson have been working on Pretty Little Liars together, in their roles of Emily Fields and Hanna Marin. Over the years, the two have reached a point in their relationship, where nobody can tell what they feel about each other. Their chemistry takes us all by storm every single Tuesday when a new episode comes out, but then, when we have these long pauses between episodes, for specials and mid season breaks, the pain is lingering. Maybe the two are hiding a bigger secret than what will happen in the show….

Shay POV

''Her sweet tender voice,
and her captivating blue eyes.
I forget about the boys
she gives me butterflies.

I can't stop thinking about her
she's the reason that I can't fall asleep
in my mind it's all a blur
These are the secrets that I keep

for our love would be overtaken
by the press and their judging eyes
so for now should we keep faking?
and what that would mean to our lives.

And as I write this poem I seek
for help in those who do not weep
for I am not as strong as you
please, can you tell me what to do?''

''Shaaaaaaay! Lunch is ready, I made tortellini!, we need to hurry, remember the get together with Scooter and Ashley!'' Ryan calls from the living room. Shay sighs ''how could I forget''. She shouts back ''Coming!''. As Shay quickly packs away her scribbling book, she looks in the mirror, wiping away the tears that have drawn from her eyes, she looks at the corner of her mirror, where there is taped a picture of her and Ashley, she whispers ''someday, baby, someday.''
''Someday what?'', Ryan bursts into the room, ''come on bae, you're taking forever in here''. Shay quickly thinks of a solution ''uhm, someday.. We should.. Totally go to Island!'' She waits for his reaction to see if he bought it, ''yeah! Drake actually was talking about going too, we could take him with us!''. Drake this, Drake that, why don't you just marry him so I can be with Ash?! Shay thinks to herself.

As they go to the living room, Shay sighs, she just doesn't feel like this is the person she should be with, and she is tired of living a lie.

Ashley POV

On a boat down nearby Los Angeles bay, Ashley and her boyfriend Scooter, are throwing a get together for their family and friends, Ashley is actually still not clear on why exactly they are throwing this particular party, since nothing knew has been happening in the last couple of weeks, nothing big to celebrate, and therefore Ashley is not completely sure whether or not she should be worried.

Ashley is laying on the deck in a salmon colored bikini and a huge pair of Ray-Ban's that Shay gave her for her birthday last year. ''Honey, will you check in to see when the girls are coming? We need to be ready with the food''. Ryan says, ''yeah sure, just give me a minute!'' Ashley calls back. She picks up her phone to text the four girls, Troian, Lucy, Sasha and Shay.

On her screen is a text from Shay. Ashley's face lights up. It says ''Hey bee, I'm really looking forward to tonight, I'm sure it'll be a nice evening, also, we need to find some time to re-run our lines!''.
Ashley texts back ''Sure boo, let's talk about when you come over!''
Every time she texts Shay, Ashley's stomach crumbles.
She texts the other girls to decide when they are coming over. They've decided, only in a couple of hours the girls will be over, and the rest of the family and friends, but Shay is the only important thing to Ashley, so she's looking forward.
