I was working on my other story and I had this idea so I decided to give it a shot. I hope you'll like it. I just wanted to say that English isn't my first language so I'm really sorry for the mistake I might make.

Chapter 1:

Emily's POV

I was sitting on my window seat, lost in my thoughts when my mother came in my room to bring me back my dry clothes. She looked at me and saw that I was crying.

"Honey, why are you crying?" My mom sat next to me.

I looked her in the eyes trying to find some form of comfort. I couldn't find any. Her eyes were warm and reassuring, but they seemed closed at the same time. I wasn't sure if I should speak my mind or not, but I decided to talk anyway.

"I think there's something wrong with me..."

"What, Emily, there's nothing wrong with you." My mom told me and hugged me. "You're excellent at school and you are captain of the school's swim team." I looked at her and smiled.

"You're right. I just had a long day; I think I'll get some sleep." I told my mom with a smile.

"Alright, honey, good night." She kissed my forehead and left my room.

I started crying again. I closed my eyes and lost myself in my thoughts. No there's nothing wrong with me, well except that when everyone was dreaming of kissing a boy and finding the perfect guy, I wasn't, because someone else was on my mind. Someone I shouldn't want to kiss instead of a guy. Someone I shouldn't see in any other way than my best friend. But I couldn't control myself, she was always on my mind and I missed her so much when I spent one day without talking to her. When I opened my eyes, I saw that my arm was bleeding. I did it again without realizing what I was doing. I put the razor blade I was holding down and got up. I took a tissue to wipe the blood off of my arm. Then I put a sweater on and wipe the blood off the blade as well. As I sat back on my window seat, I got a text message from Spencer.

"Do you want to come over I'm feeling lonely, Melissa and my parents are gone to Philly for the weekend. And I miss you already... - Spence." I smiled as I read the text.

"Of course I want to, will Hanna and Aria be there? – Em"

I got her answer quickly after I sent her the text.

"Yes, they'll be there... Will you come over for the night? A sleepover like we used to do every Friday night. – Spence"

I was disappointed; I wished I could be alone with her. I wasn't really feeling like having a sleepover but I really wanted to see her.

"I'll be over in ten minutes, is it okay? – Em"

"Yes, see u soon. xx – Spence."

I packed a bag with everything I needed for the night and went downstairs to tell my mom I was spending the night at Spencer's. I walked towards Spencer's house, still lost in my thoughts.

Spencer's POV

Someone knocked on the door. I ran downstairs and opened it. It was Emily. As soon as she saw me, she smiled. But something was different in the way she smiled. Even if I knew it was sincere, there was something unusual in the way she smiled.

"Hi, Em" I told her as I hugged her.

"Hi, Spence" She answered quickly.

She turned her head a little bit –almost like she didn't want me to look at her.

"Come sit down." I sat on the couch and waited for her to sit next to me. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" She said still avoiding my gaze.

"Em, look at me." I asked her.

She didn't move. As I wanted to take her head in my hands to make her look at me, someone knocked at the door. I got up and opened it. It was Hanna and Aria. When we went back in the living room where Emily was sitting, the sadness I saw on her face earlier was gone. I looked at her and she smiled. She was definitely hiding something; I just needed to find what.

"What do you want to do?" Aria asked.

"It doesn't matter as long as it involves alcohol" Hanna said with a smirk.

"Yeah, speak for yourself." Emily said.

"Same here, I don't want to drink." I said deciding to stay sober to be sure I didn't miss any clues about why Emily was not feeling well.

"Well, I'll drink with you, Han." Aria said.

"Nice, the sleepover can officially start!" Hanna said.

She took a bottle of alcohol out of her bag and Aria went in the kitchen to take two empty glasses and two water bottles for Emily and me.

...

"I think Hanna is pretty drunk." Emily whispered in my ear around midnight.

"Yes, and so is Aria." I said and laughed.

"Hey, I... Heard you... I'm so not drunk." Hanna sat next to Emily and smacked her on the arm.

I saw Emily bit her lip like she was holding in a scream. She got up and said that she needed to go to the bathroom. I still didn't know what was bothering her but it had to be something about her arm in a way or another. When Emily came back in the living room, we decided that it was time to sleep so we went in my room. Emily stayed away from us when we put our PJs on. As soon she had put on her jammies, she put back on her sweater. Hanna and Aria left the room and told us goodnight, leaving me alone with Emily, like always. At every sleepover Hanna and Aria slept in the guess bedroom and Emily slept here with me. We lay in bed, Emily stayed far from me. Not like usual. She turned on her side so her back faced me. After a couple of minutes I heard crying. I got closer to her and put my hand on her hip so she knew I was there for her.

"Emily, sweetheart, what's going on?" I asked her in a small voice.

"I don't want to talk, please. Just hold me, Spence." She told me.

"Em, turn around." Emily turned to face me.

I took her hand and pulled her closer to me. She was still crying. She put her head on my shoulder. I was still holding her hand and I put my other arm around her waist in a protective way. I knew that I shouldn't move our interlaced hands because it would probably hurt her. I knew that it was her left arm that seemed to be injured, I just didn't know why. I whispered sweet words in her ear until she fell asleep.

I know this chapter is really short but it's only because I wanted to know what you were thinking of this story before I update a longer chapter. So what do you think so far?
