The sun was setting; Paige and Rachel McCullers were sitting next to each other inside the treehouse their father had helped them build. The little girl was playing with her sister's hair. "Paige?" she said cupping her sister's face with her fragile hands. Paige responded with a low "yeah?" and looked directly into her sister's eyes. "Are you going to take me to my appointment tomorrow? I like it when you are there to hold my hand" Rachel asked. Paige nodded. "Is Maya coming this time?" Paige shook her head. The little girl smiled sadly, "Why not?" Paige directed her gaze to the floor, thinking about an answer; that was when she realized that she didn't have one. She and her girlfriend were falling apart. They had been together for a year but Paige realized that maybe she wasn't in love with her. Of course she loved her but she wasn't in love with her anymore. "She…" She started.

"Auntie Ali!" Rachel interrupted her, standing up and running to the girl that was climbing in with a paper bag in her hands.

"Hey, girl," Alison said, pulling the girl in for a hug. "What were you guys doing?" She said and sat down next to her best friend. "Hey Paige," she said and placed a kiss to her cheek. Paige mumbled a "hi"

"Are you okay?" Alison said with a worried look on her face.

"Yeah, I'm good"

"No you're not, Paige. What's wrong?" Paige looked around and caught her sister playing with her dolls. Her eyes began to water.

"She's not going to make it" She said and started crying. Alison hugged her tightly. "She will not get cured." Tears started rolling down her face while she sobbed.

"She will be fine, I promise." Alison said, trying to make her friend calm down.

"She has a whole life ahead," she whispered "She…"

"Paige? What's wrong?" Rachel said.

"Come on; let's have our picnic before the night falls." Ali said wiping away the tears from Paige's face. She stood up and offered both of her hands to Paige. Paige took them and stood up. "Let's have some fun, okay?" Alison said smiling.

"Yeah," Paige said, smiling to the other woman.

That night, Alison stayed at Paige's place. Paige still lived with her parents, even though back then she was twenty six. Her parents were out so she asked Alison to stay over. The three of them were sleeping on Paige's bed. Halfway through the night, Rachel tried to wake them up. "Paige" she said trying to wake up her sister "Paige?"

"What's wrong?" Alison said when she noticed the little girl moving next to her. She sat up on the bed. Suddenly, Rachel started coughing. When Paige woke up, Alison was rubbing her sister's back, while the girl coughed. Paige started panicking. "Rachel!" She yelled, "We have to take her to the hospital!" She putt her shoes on, and took a sweater for her sister, while Alison took her car keys and ran to the car. Paige stormed out of the house with her sister in her arms. She opened the car's door and got in She opened the car's door and got in. Rachel was seated on Paige's lap, coughing and crying in pain but she didn't seem scared.

Paige was now seated on a chair next to her sister's bed in the hospital. Her sister was still sedated.

"Paige?" Her girlfriend's voice made her turn around. Maya was leaning against the door frame. "Alison called me," Maya said walking closer to her girlfriend. "We need to talk." Paige nodded.

"I've been trying to reach you." Paige said with a hoarse voice and stood up. "She misses you."

"I missed her too." She said smiling and leaned in to kiss Rachel's forehead. "I've been thinking…"

"How is she?" someone said storming hurriedly into the room. The redhead knelt next to the bed and took Rachel's left hand in hers.

"Talk to you later?" Maya said and Paige shook her head.

"I'll walk you home," Paige said "We will talk on our way there."

"Okay."

"Chris, can you take care of Rachel while I'm out?"

"Sure." The redhead said with a kind smile on her face.

"Thanks." Paige said and walked to kiss her sister's forehead one last time. "I love you." She whispered to her sister's ear. Her sister hasn't moved since they got there.

Paige and Maya started walking to Maya's place. "So… we have to talk." Maya started, breaking the silence.

"Yes. I need to tell you something." Paige said and Maya stopped walking to look directly into Paige's eyes. "God… I don't know how to say this."
"You want to break up with me." Maya said.

"No, that's not it. You make me happy and I love you but…"

"But…"

"But I think I've never been really…" Paige didn't know what to say.

"What?" Maya said impatiently.

"Something has changed."

"What?" Maya said.

"I can't picture myself being with you for the rest of my life." She said and her eyes began to water. She looked down at the floor.

"Paige…" Maya said "It's okay." She took Paige's face with her hands and wiped some of her tears away. "But… do you want to… break up…" Maya said and her voice cracked.

"I don't want to lose you." Paige said and hugged Maya tightly.

"You'll never lose me. We could try to just be friends."

"Okay." Paige whispered

"I want you to be happy." Maya said, rubbing Paige's back "You deserve it," They pulled away and Maya kissed Paige's cheek.

Later that day, Paige found herself seating next to her sister´s bed when she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." She said. A blonde woman came in. "Excuse me, do I know you?" Paige said when she didn't recognize the other woman.

"No." The blonde said. "But I know your sister." She said looking past her. "My name is Samara."

"I'm-"

"McCullers. Paige McCullers."

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what is what you want from me."

"We can help each other," Samara said "we should go and grab a coffee; this is going to take time."

Like any other Friday afternoon after two hours of swimming with her best friend, Carter, Emily Fields was waiting in her car outside the Brew. Carter was her friend since college; they were roommates.

Emily was like any other Rosewood girl, except for one thing; her DNA. Not that she was an alien, but she was different. She could never, ever get sick. Just her parents and closest friends knew that. Only they could know, because if someone ever found out, they would use her DNA. In order to do so, they would have to kill her.

"Em," Someone said, knocking the passenger's window. Emily turned her head and caught a glimpse of the blonde girl.

"Where have you been? Spencer has been looking for you" Emily said.

"Sorry, I was with Paige." Alison said. She opened the door and climbed in.

"When will I have the honor to meet her?" Emily said with a mocking grin on her face.

"Soon hopefully" Alison whispered "Her little sister is sick," Emily stopped smiling.

"How old is she?"

"Paige or her sister?" said Alison and Emily let out a little giggle.

"Both of them," Emily said and made both of them laugh.

"Paige is twenty six, Rachel is seven." Emily gave her a confused look. "Their father got married twice" Alison said when someone knocked on Emily's window. Carter was standing there with two cups of coffee. The brunette looked annoyed; she had never really liked Alison. She had hazel eyes and a beautiful smile. She descended from Arabs. "Was the blonde just leaving or should I walk home?" said Carter.

"Sorry." Emily said and turned to Alison with an apologetic look on her face.

"It's okay; I'll call you." Alison got out of the car. Carter was waiting impatiently out the door. "She's all yours." Alison said and walked away. Carter got in the car and placed a cup of coffee in one of Emily's hands.

"Thanks." said Emily.

After taking home Carter, Emily took her phone and checked it; one missed call from Alison and two from Spencer. She dialed Alison's number.

"Alison's phone" someone answered.

"Ali?" Emily said confused.

"She isn't here in this moment."

"Who am I speaking with?"

"My name is Paige. Who is this?" The woman at the end of the line replied.

"I am Emily." She said, trying not to sound excited.

"Oh hey, Emily," Paige said, sounding a little bit too excited. "How are you?"

"I'm okay, but I thought I would meet you differently."

"Me too," Paige said, letting out a giggle, Emily thought was really cute. "I will tell Ali that you called."

"Thanks. Bye Paige."

"We should grab a coffee some time."

"Yeah, that would be nice."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye." Emily said, and hung up with a smile on her face.

"What do you mean?" Paige said.

"I'm saying that your sister's illness is only found in one person out of seven hundred millions of people." Samara said, trying to explain.

Both were sitting on a couch in the Brew next to each other, each one of them with a cup of coffee.

"Yes, I know that, so…"

"Only two people in the world have the cure," Said Samara and took a sip of her coffee.

"What?" Paige said with her eyes wide open, "There is a cure?" Paige added. Her heart was beating fast.

"Yes, there is."
"Two people have it." Repeated Paige, still processing what had been said.

"Yes…" Samara nodded. "One of them lives here in Rosewood." Paige's heart fluttered when she heard that.

"Who?" Paige said impatiently. There was a person in Rosewood that knew the cure; her sister could live.

Samara´s phone buzzed and she took it out to check it. "We will talk tomorrow, okay?" Samara took her bag and stood up. "Sorry, I really need to go."

"It's okay but…" Samara didn't let her finish, "We will talk about it tomorrow." interrupted her Samara. Paige saw her walk away and shouted "A name at least?!" Samara turned around and walked to Paige. She leaned in and whispered next to Paige's ear "Emily Fields"

"Paige. I've been calling you!" Alison came jogging and sat next to Paige.

"Sorry, I was busy." Paige said as an apology.

"You are so lame, Paige." said Hanna's voice next to Paige. Paige stood up and hugged Hanna.

"Hey Han," Paige said and smiled, even though she was feeling the complete opposite.

"Okay, I'm going to buy my coffee. Do you want a refill, Paige?"

"I'm fine." She said.

"I need to pee." Hanna stood up and walked to the bathroom.

Paige sat in silence for a minute and then, Alison's phone rang. It was on the coffee table. Paige checked the screen; Emily. Paige took the call desperately. This was her chance. Her chance to save her sister's live.

"Alison's phone" She said.

"Ali?" A sweet voice answered.

"She isn't here in this moment" Paige said, trying to keep calm.

"Who am I speaking with?" said Emily.

"My name is Paige, who is this?" Paige said, although she already knew who it was.

"I am Emily." The woman said.

"Oh hey, Emily," Paige said with an excited tone, "How are you?"

"I'm okay, but I thought I would meet you differently." Paige thought Emily was really cute.

"Me too," Paige said, letting out a giggle.

"Thanks. Bye Paige." Paige needed to meet her formally if she wanted to keep her sister.

"We should grab a coffee some time." Paige said.

"Yeah, that would be nice." Paige smiled, but her smile faded when she realized that maybe she would have to, at some point, betray Emily. Even if she didn't even know her, she somehow knew it would hurt "Okay, bye." Paige finally said.

"Bye." She couldn't help but smile at the other girl´s voice.

"Who was it, Paige?" Alison said and sat next to Paige.

"Emily." Paige handed the phone to Ali.

"Oh. What did she say?"

"She wanted to talk to you."

"I called her. Is it okay if she joins us?"

"Who?" said Hanna and sat next to Alison.

"Emily."

"Cool!" said Hanna, "By the way, where is Maya?"

"We… Broke up, "Paige said, lowering her gaze"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Paige." Alison said.

"It wasn't really working."

"Working? You were together for a year!"

"Han…" Ali gave her a look of warning.
"It doesn't matter." Paige said. She was kind of happy she had ended it; with Maya, she wasn't happy at all.

"Aria, I have to go. Talk to you later?" Emily said. Aria and Emily had been talking for at least twenty minutes by the phone. They hadn't seen each other in two years.

"Mmm… I can't today; tomorrow?" Aria said.

"Sure; I´ll call you," Said Emily "Bye."

"Bye, Em." As soon as Aria said that, Emily's phone started buzzing again.

"Hello."

"Em, we are waiting for you. Paige is here."

"I'll be there in five."
"Okay."

"So, Emily, this is Paige; Paige, this is Emily" Introduced them Hanna. Emily smiled shyly and Paige couldn't help but direct her gaze to the floor.

"It's a pleasure, Emily." said Paige, offering her hand. Emily shook it.

"Same." Emily said.
