Suddenly Falling

When Spencer is invited to a party by her friend Paige, she doesn't expect much. She certainly doesn't expect meeting someone like….her.

SPENCER'S POV:

"I don't know, it doesn't sound like much fun." I groaned.

"Oh come on, you deserve to get out for a night. You've been so antisocial since you and Aria broke up. It's time to get back into the swing of things." My friend, Paige, insisted.

"I just don't think it's going to be of any enjoyment." I argued. I generally avoided parties, for they usually consisted of drunks, people getting high off something in a bag, and people who wore nearly nothing. I didn't fit in with that crowd.

"It'll be fun! The people there are different I promise. This is supposed to be a party to celebrate the swim team's win!" Paige explained.

"Exactly. I'm not part of the swim team, why should I celebrate?" I got up from where I was sitting on the floor, and stood in front of her.

Paige rolled her eyes.

"I'm part of the swim team. Celebrate for me. Besides, I was told to bring a friend, and I don't intend to leave this house without you." Paige was stubborn as hell most of the time. I groaned.

"I just, I don't know…" I was so uncertain. I typically disliked social situations, and this was no exception.

"I insist. You must come, at least for an hour. If you are bored, or not having fun after that, I will take you home I promise." Paige was solemn.

I thought it over.

"I don't have much of a choice do I?" I asked. I knew that even if I said no, Paige would somehow get me to come.

"No, not really." She smiled.

"Fine. We can go." I rolled my eyes. Paige laughed, and held the door open for me.

"Come on then! We're going to be late!" She grinned, as she dragged me to the car. We drove the way there in silence, and when we arrived, I wasn't all too thrilled. While it wasn't as crazy of a party as most were, it certainly was not as tame as I had hoped.

"Hey, relax. Cheer up. Maybe you'll find someone here." Paige winked at me as she walked with me into the house.

"I doubt it." I sighed.

"Well with that attitude, I doubt it too." Paige commented.

When we got to the front door, which was left open, we walked inside. The house was full of swimmers and their friends. It wasn't horribly crowded, but it wasn't empty either.

"Spencer, I'd like to introduce you to someone before we go our separate ways." Paige pulled on my arm, and I turned.

A tall brunette was standing across from me. Her eyes shone in the dark lights, and her hair flowed past her shoulders. She was wearing a tight blue dress that stopped just above her knees, and had no straps. When she smiled, she seemed to glow. My heart almost stopped.

"Spencer, this is Emily Fields. She's the captain of the swim team, and is the hostess for tonight's event." Paige explained. I nodded quickly, unsure if words were the best choice.

"It's nice to meet you Spencer. I've heard a lot about you." Emily smiled, and held out her hand. I stared at it for a moment, before smiling shyly and taking it. Her hand was soft, and I nearly melted at her smile.

"You too." I managed.

"Well then, I'll leave you guys to it." Paige grinned.

I watched as she left, and wondered if she had planned the entire thing. She was always insisting that I find someone else, but I didn't think she'd be so rash.

"So Spencer, do you play sports?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, I play lacrosse." I muttered. I hoped she could hear me, I didn't think I had to courage to talk any louder.

"That's awesome! I have a friend who plays lacrosse, Melody's her name." She mentioned.

"Oh yeah, she's on our team. She's a great player." I smiled politely. Emily nodded, and was about to say something when there was a loud noise in the other room.

"EMILY IT WASN'T ME I PROMISE." A voice shouted from the room the noise originated. Emily rolled her eyes.

"I'll be back later." She muttered before walking off.

"HANNA I SWEAR IF YOU BROKE SOMETHING AGAIN…" I heard her yell, before she disappeared into the other room. I chuckled softly, wondering just what this Hanna person could have done before, as well as now. However, I didn't wait to find out. I walked over to her kitchen, and grabbed a glass of water. I looked around for anyone else I knew, but I didn't see anyone. Paige was out playing Washers with some of her other friends, and I didn't want to intrude. Instead, I walked upstairs softly, and sat at the top of the steps. It was quiet, and I enjoyed it.

I tried to sit and think about having fun, but my mind constantly drifted back to the person I just met. I know they save love at first sight is impossible, but if that's true, then what just happened? I wasn't able to answer my question however, and thirty minutes later I was still sitting on the steps. It wasn't until I heard someone coming upstairs that I stopped thinking.

Emily appeared from below, and she walked over and sat next to me.

"I take it you aren't much of a party person." She laughed.

"No not really." I muttered. "I wasn't going to come, but my Paige insisted."

Emily nodded, understanding.

"I see. Well, I'm glad you came." She smiled.

"Why?" I asked, before realizing how rude it might sound. "I'm sorry, I just don't understand. I don't even know you." I mumbled.

"You're fine." Emily's voice was soothing to listen to. "I'm glad, because Paige has been telling me you've been having a rough week. I'm glad you were able to come, maybe get your mind off things."

I sighed. "Yeah. I just got out of a relationship so it's been hard."

"Who was the guy?" Emily asked, politely.

I blushed slightly before answering.

"Uh, it was a girl actually. Her name's Aria." I stated. Emily nodded.

"I think I recognize the name." She seemed to be lost in thought. I took the opportunity to steal a glance at the goddess sitting next to me. She was so beautiful, and so sweet. I knew it would be hard to get her out of my mind.

"You aren't bothered by the fact that I'm…" I struggled to find the right words.

"Not at all!" Emily responded quickly. "I feel the same way."

"Oh okay." I nodded. Did I have a chance with her? I wondered.

"So how'd you get to be friends with Paige?" She asked. I sighed, and started telling her the whole story. However, by the time it was almost over, she had moved a lot closer to me.

"And that's how we came to be friends." I explained, her nose just inches from my face.

"How interesting. Paige is a great person, you two seem like good friends." Emily smiled. If I thought her smile was gorgeous from a few feet away, it was much better closer up. I don't know if it was the time of night, or if I was just feeling extra stupid, but I acted on my gut and kissed her. I leaned forward and our lips collided. Hers were soft and delicate, but I didn't have time to savour the moment because I pulled away.

"I'm sorry, that was rude of me." I muttered. Emily laughed.

"Rude? No not at all."

I glanced back at her, and she cupped my cheeks in her hand. I felt myself blush, but I relaxed as she brought her lips to mine once more. It was a kiss full of passion, and I could feel myself smiling.

"You're beautiful." I muttered, before I realized what I had said.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry I-"

"Not as beautiful as you." She cut me off with a smirk. I laughed.

"That's not true." I grinned, as we kissed once more. We must have been deaf to the world for neither of us heard the feet on the steps.

"Spencer?" Paige asked, as she stumbled across the scene. The kiss broke, and I scooted away from Emily.

"Paige I can explain I-"

Paige held up her hand. She was smirking.

"What'd I tell you?" She laughed, as she made her way back downstairs. "Be safe!" She called up as she reached the bottom. I blushed.

"She's interesting, isn't she?" Emily laughed. I nodded.

"I can't believe I almost didn't want to come to this." I chuckled.

"I'm glad you did." Emily smiled, and pecked me on the lips. I looked into her eyes, and finally found what I hadn't felt since Aria left me.

"Me too."
