These are 11 separate drabbles all inspired by different songs, so none of them are supposed to relate to each other. I've rated it T for mild sexuality and drug use (I blame the Kid Cudi and Drake songs…). Please don't hate me for #9 (which made me realize I have no idea how old these girls are supposed to be right now since PLL's timeline is so ridiculously messed up at this point) and I would love to hear what you guys think about it, even if it's just a quick little review. I really appreciate you all!
Remember You – Wiz Khalifa (ft. The Weeknd)
They're at a party and Emily still has no idea why any of them decided to come here. It's at the Kahn's cabin, but Noel is nowhere to be seen and it's packed. She swears that all of Rosewood High showed up, and as she pours more beer from the keg into her red cup, she realizes she's definitely drunk.
Out of nowhere Hanna appears, and she almost spills her entire drink on Emily as she hugs her.
"EMMMILLLYYY" she yells over the music, confirming that she is also drunk, "Come with me."
The blonde leads her best friend up to the attic of the cabin, where she had tried to seduce Sean years ago.
"This is better. It was getting crazy down there," Emily says, wandering around the space, floorboards creaking.
"This is where Sean turned me down that one night. Before I stole his car," Hanna comments, frowning at the memory.
"How could anyone possibly turn you down? I don't get it," the brunette commented, laughing to herself since the thought of not wanting Hanna Marin was completely unrealistic in her mind.
A moment later Hanna is kissing Emily hard on the mouth, and even though it tastes like cheap beer and cigarettes, it's probably Emily's favorite first kiss.
Everybody Leaves In The End – The Temper Trap
Hanna walks into her 15th high school reunion alone, immediately grabbing a glass of wine from a server. Against her better judgment she had decided to make an appearance at the event, simply because she had been doing business in Philly yesterday and it seemed to be some sort of sign that she should stop by. After college she had moved to L.A. and had a promising career in fashion, she was working for one of the top designers at the moment, slowly working her way up in the company.
As she makes her way through the sea of people that look somewhat familiar, her eyes fall upon a brunette girl sipping her drink at the bar. The girl. Emily Fields.
The two had ended up going to the same college, which was four hours away from Aria and Spencer's, and she would be lying if she said nothing had ever happened between the two of them. Hanna had told Emily that she loved her their senior year, but after graduation she had freaked out and moved to L.A. without even telling the other girl. She had hated herself ever since, and she never fully got over it.
Emily's eyes meet Hanna's, and Hanna slowly approaches her, walking up to the bar. The brunette quickly finishes her drink and sets the empty glass down on the table before speaking, "I think you owe me a drink, Han."
A small smile crosses the blonde's lips as she orders two more rum and coke's and hands her money to the bartender.
3. Whatever You Like – T.I.
Spring Break. Panama City Beach. Hanna's idea, of course. The girls are on the beach and some kind of whipped cream licking contest is about to start on the giant stage overlooking the ocean. Spencer is looking around at everyone, muttering about littering and underage drinking and public intoxication and Aria is trying to get her to shut up and embrace the atmosphere.
Emily is checking out a couple of the girls who are laying out when suddenly she hears Hanna screaming her name. She looks around confused for a minute before finally spotting the blonde, on the stage, whipped cream can in hand.
"Get. Up. Here. I need a partner!" Hanna is yelling, gesturing for the brunette to join her on stage. Emily tries to shake her head no, but Spencer and Aria are shoving her towards the stage and before she knows it some random dude has pulled her up and placed her next to Hanna. She looks at their opponents and realizes every other couple is a guy and a girl. The random dude who is apparently running the contest starts spraying the whipped cream all over Hanna's stomach, chest and neck before handing her a cherry to place in her mouth.
"I am going to kill you," is all Emily can get out before they begin counting down to the start signal.
"I didn't want some random dude licking me! Just pretend I'm Paige... ew, actually pretend I'm a hotter version of her," Hanna yells before putting the cherry in her mouth with a smile. Emily shoots her a glare but then the buzzer sounds and her competitive side takes over, and she begins to lick the whipped cream.
Once she's got most of it off of Hanna, she goes for the cherry but stops, "Do I really have to?" she asks her friend, but Hanna grabs her face and pulls her into a passionate kiss, passing her the cherry. When she pulls away, the blonde winks and the crowd goes wild.
You Only Live Once – The Strokes
Summer in Rosewood, before Alison's disappearance.
Emily finishes in first place at the final race of her swim meet. It's a Saturday and the pool was closed all morning for the meet, but it's almost noon and the lifeguards are removing all of the equipment to prepare to open up to the public. She meets with her team for a couple of minutes and then heads over to claim some lounge chairs, since she knows that Alison is going to be there soon and will want a prime spot to tan.
Emily throws a couple of towels on a pair of chairs before someone taps her on the shoulder. It's Hanna.
"Congrats, Em! You did awesome out there!" the blonde girl smiles, sitting down on one of the chairs that Emily was claiming.
"You saw my race?" Emily questioned.
Hanna nods excitedly, "Yeah, and I was here for your relay in the beginning."
"I didn't know you were coming," the brunette continues, sitting in another chair next to her friend.
"Of course I did. That's what friends are for, right?" Hanna replies, pulling out the latest issue of Teen Vogue from her bag and beginning to flip through it.
Emily never forgets that Hanna was the only one who ever woke up early in the summer to watch her swim.
Soundtrack 2 My Life – Kid Cudi
"Let's just try it," Hanna says, holding out a skinny joint that she managed to buy off some guy in their grade. The two girls are sitting in the woods behind Emily's house after school, and it's the day before summer officially begins.
"I don't know, what if it makes us feel bad," Emily replies, a little scared about inhaling anything that isn't oxygen.
"Come on Em, we're going to be in High School next year! Plus, don't you want to tell Ali that we tried pot without her? She will be so jealous," Hanna continues fumbling in her bag for a lighter. She finds one and lights up, inhaling the smoke, holding it for a moment and then exhaling. She coughs a little bit.
"Shit, that's rough. You try," she hands the joint and lighter to Emily. The brunette sighs uneasily and copies what Hanna did, but ends up coughing up a storm.
"Here," Hanna laughs, taking back the pot and lighter, "Let's shotgun it, it should be easier for you to inhale, you newbie."
"Shotgun?" Emily replies, somewhat horrified.
"Relax, I'm just going to blow the smoke into your mouth, try to just breathe in. Ready?" Hanna asks before she inhales deeply, leans over and presses her mouth gently to Emily's lips, then exhales.
Emily has no idea if she even inhaled any of the smoke but she sure feels like she's high. Although she has a sneaking suspicion it had more to do with Hanna's lips on hers than the smoke.
Diamonds – Rihanna
Senior Prom. It's near the end of the dance when the DJ finally plays a slow song. All of the couples begin slowly swaying together in time with the beat, and the lights dim, just slightly.
Emily has her arms around some random guy that is friends with Toby, and she couldn't be more miserable. Spencer had begged her to go with him just so that she could come to the dance with her and Toby. Emily was technically single so she had agreed, but it ended up being torture. All night she had to watch Hanna dance with Ezra freaking Fitz's little brother, who Hanna had apparently gone out with a couple of times. Normally, this would be no big deal, except that Hanna and Emily had a moment last week, and Hanna had been acting weird ever since, refusing to talk about it with Emily.
As Emily looked over her date's shoulder at Hanna, she found that Hanna was looking over Wes' shoulder too, and the two locked eyes. Hanna mouthed, "I'm sorry," and it was too much for the brunette, so she broke away from whats-his-name and headed for the exit.
Started From The Bottom – Drake
Emily never considered herself a drinker until she got to college but then again neither did Hanna. Hanna visits Emily at her school sometime before Christmas break and they manage to sneak into some club that ends up being packed with frat guys and sorority girls. Not exactly Emily's scene, but Hanna says she just wants to dance, so they drink until Emily thinks that dancing sounds like fun too.
They move together in time with the beat of the music, blaring through the speakers, and both of them end up shrugging off different guys who try to dance with them. It gets so bad that Hanna has to physically shove a guy off of her, so she grabs Emily's hand and drags her to the bathroom. Amazingly, there's no line and Hanna swiftly locks them inside the tiny restroom.
"Sometimes I really hate guys," the blonde breathes out, rolling her eyes and looking at herself in the mirror.
"Me too," Emily replies with a laugh, "well, more than sometimes."
"I really missed you," Hanna says, turning back to Emily, with a look in her eyes that the brunette had never seen before.
"I missed you too. More than I wanted to admit," the brunette responds, looking back at Hanna with a look to match.
They looked at each other like that for a moment, the only noise being the thumping of the bass from the music on the dance floor, and then at almost the exact same moment, both girls lunge forward.
The kiss was sloppy and desperate, but it was perfect in that moment. Hanna gets Emily pinned up against the door and she starts to trail kisses down her neck, biting down on the girl's shoulder.
They ignore the knocks on the door and the yells of other girls who are trying to pee.
8. Glockenspiel Song – Dog Is Dead
Graduating from High School always seemed like one of those things that you would look forward to, but it would never come, at least that's what it felt like to Hanna Marin. The ceremony had been surreal, and all of the parties after it had been even weirder. All of the girls, Hanna, Aria, Emily and Spencer, had decided to go to different schools. It was bizarre to think after everything they had gone through together, that they would be separated again. Distant.
Spencer's graduation party was the one that went late into the evening, and everyone had ended up at her house after their parties ended. There was a big bonfire going in her backyard and live music playing, tons of people inside and outside.
Hanna was standing away from all of the commotion, leaning against the front of the barn, watching everyone else talking, dancing and laughing. No one even seemed to notice that she was off by herself, in her own world. Except Emily.
"Hey, you okay?" the brunette asked, leaning next to Hanna.
"Yeah. It's just weird. Our lives are about to really start aren't they?" the blonde questioned, glancing over at her friend before returning her gaze to the fire in the distance.
"I guess they are. It will definitely be weird. Not having you around. Or Aria and Spencer," Emily replied.
"I'll miss you the most. You know that right?" Hanna asked, looking back over at Emily.
"Yeah," she responded simply, grabbing Hanna's hand and intertwining their fingers together, "I do."
Blood Prints – Wintercoats
It's pouring down rain but Hanna doesn't care, she's not moving from her place in front of the giant tombstone and the newly placed sod over the recent grave. If the rain wasn't making her makeup run, then her tears certainly would have.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry I never told you how much I really did love you. I never thought you would be gone so soon. We just had our moments and I didn't think we needed to talk about them. Not yet at least. I thought I had time, I thought we had time," the blonde girl sobbed, knowing how ridiculous she must look, talking to a hunk of stone.
"You were my best friend. What am I supposed to do without you? I'm always going to wonder. Wonder what would have happened if I spoke up. I swear, when they find out who did this, I'll kill them. You didn't deserve this. You were the good one," Hanna continued, her crying becoming more and more hysterical. She couldn't hear the car doors slam over her sobs, so when Aria and Spencer reached down and put hands on her shoulders, she jolted back.
"Come on Han, you're going to catch a cold. It's time to go home," Aria said in a soothing voice, trying to help her friend to her feet.
"We need to make A pay for this. This went too far. We have to," Hanna spat out before she once again became hysteric.
"We will," Spencer replied, stone faced, looking at the blonde, "we will."
As Aria helped Hanna into the car, Spencer turned back and looked at gravestone, the engraving clear as day:
Emily Catherine Fields
August 28, 1995 – November 15, 2013
Beloved Daughter, Teammate, and Friend
MFEO: Pt. 2 - You Can Breathe – Jack's Mannequin
They lay on Hanna's bed, and Hanna has her head on Emily's shoulder and her arms wrapped around the girl's waist. Emily is reading a book intently and Hanna sighs, "Remind me why you are reading right now?"
"It's The Great Gatsby, Han. You know I like to read the books before I see the movies. And I only have 3 hours to finish this since you are insisting on seeing the movie tonight," Emily replied, turning her attention back to the novel in her hand.
"Okay, I'm sorry, but Leo looks scrumptious in the previews," Hanna exclaimed, smiling to herself as she can see Emily rolling her eyes.
"I heard Carey Mulligan is really good in it too," the brunette adds casually, but Hanna knows what she really means.
"You are so typical! You totally have a thing for blondes. And you're a liar. Remember when you told me you didn't have a type?" Hanna teased, sitting up now and awaiting a response.
"I am not into blondes, and I don't have a type," Emily argues, but Hanna gives her an amused look.
"Let's see. Carey Mulligan, blonde. Alison, blonde. Samara, blonder. And let's not forget..." Hanna replies before trailing off, and leaning in to kiss Emily softly.
"Oh yeah, me. Blonde," Hanna finishes, smirking at her girlfriend.
"Fine. Maybe I do have a little thing for blondes," Emily admits, "But you've always been my favorite one."
Hanna smiles and lets her get back to her reading, excited for their date, now in approximately 2 hours and 53 minutes.
I Know You Care – Ellie Goulding
Emily's feelings for Hanna had always been there, but she knew better than to acknowledge them or regularly think about them. As if falling for Alison wasn't bad enough, it was just her luck that she would fall for Hanna too. So she dated Paige, and she genuinely did like the girl, she did, but she knew it wasn't the real thing. Hanna had a boyfriend and Emily was okay with that. She liked Caleb, he was a good guy and he treated her right, so it was never an issue. Being 'just friends' was easy and uncomplicated and Emily liked both of those things.
When Caleb and Hanna broke up though, it became harder for Emily to keep how she felt buried. She would spend more and more time with Hanna, and it gets to the point where Paige has to ask her if something is going on.
"Are you crazy? She's my best friend. My straight best friend," Emily replies, and Paige just nods, but two weeks later and they are breaking up anyways.
Emily will look over at Hanna in class and Hanna will look back and smile and it makes it really difficult for her to pay attention anymore.
They go to a late night movie and the town is deserted by the time it's over, so they walk home in silence, since they are the only two people out on the street. It's cold and there are sparkling Christmas lights above them, and Emily walks Hanna to her house first, pausing at her front steps.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow," Emily says, and as she turns to go, Hanna stops her.
"That's it?" Hanna asks, a small smile on her lips.
"What?" Emily responds, looking confused.
"No goodnight kiss?" the blonde questions, her smile more apparent. Before Emily can even respond, Hanna steps down and wraps her hands around the brunette's neck, leaning in slowly and softly kissing her lips.
When they finally pull away, Emily is looking at Hanna absolutely confused, and Hanna just shrugs and says, "It's always been there."
