A/N: It's set three years after the end of season two and Paige and Emily never actually happened during school years. This is my first fic and I have no idea if I'm doing it right, or if you're going to be able to picture the story as I have but I do hope you enjoy and any kind of review would be greatly appreciated.
definitely maybe
Chapter 1: Three years later
"Can I sit here?" a girl asked to Emily, who was studying for her finals at the college's library
"Sure, I was leaving anyway" She answered without actually looking at the the girl and starting to gather her stuff
"I didn't mean to make you go away like that, this table is big enough for two, don't you think?"
"It sure... " Emily stopped when she looked up and saw how beautiful the girl was and strangely familar, tall and thin with a gorgeous hair, Emily was feeling little regret deep down for leaving "...is, but I really have to go" Emily actually forced those words to come out of her mouth, what was she thinking, she had a beautiful girlfriend waiting for her right outside the library, but well she wasn't blind right.
"If you say so" the girl looked a bit confused but started preparing her stuff to study "hum... thank you, I guess"
"you're welcome" Emily said already leaving.
Outside the library Clara waited for Emily by her car, she grinned when she saw her girlfriend walking out of the library
"Hey beautiful!" She said going on Emily's way to help her with the books, when she reached her she gave a quick kiss before getting the books from Emily "every time you come out of this place you have more books than before, does that mean your studies are great?"
"I wish, I'm actually knowing less than I knew before" Said a pretty upset Emily
"Honey, I don't think that's possible, specially talking about you" She said while putting Emily's books in the car.
"That's very sweet of you to say, but not true" Emily said walking into the car "I still don't know how I got myself into this major"
"that's pretty easy, you asked for a paper and you wrote down some information and you also wrote there Engineer at the major part" She said laughing
"very funny" she said rolling her eyes at her girlfriend's joke
"I know right?" She laughed even harder when she saw the frown on Emily's head "Chill out babe, you're gonna ace the finals like you did before and like you're always will" she kissed her on the cheek before leaving the parking lot on their way to Hazel's.
They were almost arriving when Clara started
"So..., I know I promised to stick around for the whole day but something..."
"something what?" Emily asked without letting her finish the sentence.
"...came up"
"something always comes up Clara, you just arrived last night, and promissed" Emily was pretty upset
"I know, but remenber that play I told you?" She asked parking the car
" The one where you did't try out because one of your teachers said you weren't ready and I told you to send him to hell?"
"Yeah, that one" she said remembering that Emily at the time wanted to go the teacher's office yell at him for that "well I followed your advice..." emily rose an eyebrow "...to ignore him, and not the one to send him to hell" she quickly added.
"continue..."
"well, you remeber recording my first play right?
"there's a lot to remember here, of course I do, your mother made me send her a copy"
"so.. I sent it to the director of the play, and I got the part" She finished waiting foe Emily's reaction
"You did it? honey that's awesome!"She said quickly removing the seat belt and getting off the car so she could hug Clara, who was doing the same. Emily ran to Clara and hugged her pretty strong but Clara didn't care, she loved this. "Why didn't you tell me before?" She asked while both were walking their way to Hazel's .
"because I didn't know they just called me like an hour ago, and I've been dying to tell you, I wanted you to be the first one to know about it"
Emily didn't know what to say so she kissed Clara, who was caught by surprise "Where did that come from?" She asked in surprise "Not that I'm complaining"
"I'm really proud of you, congratulations honey" she said hugging her again
"Thanks, so you're ok that I have to come back? There is a meeting in... like two hours" She said looking down at her feet
"You're crazy? How are you going to arrive there on time? Ok then lunch is over" She said turning around and walking out of Hazel's
"What? Why?"
"Well you have a meeting and you need to be on time, so you're gonna drop me off at my place and you're gonna go as fast as the law allows and on your way you're gonna stop really fast to grab something to eat, FAST ok, so let's go"
"wait Emily, what about your lunch, our lunch?
"We can have it another time, now let's go, what are you waiting?" She said when she realized that Clara hasn't moved and they were yelling at each other because of the distance." Clara started to run at Emily's direction and kissed her very passionately and only stopped because Emily pushed her away to breath.
"I love you Emily"
"I love you too, but now get in the car"
Clara drove very fast to Emily's place and Emily was leaving the car when she saw Clara taking off her seat belt
"What are you doing?"
"Getting out of the car to kiss you goodbye?" She said not understanding why that would be a big deal
"no way" Emily said kissing Clara "goodbye and call me later"
"not enough" Clara said pulling Emily back in the car and kissing her again thins time not rushing "that's much better"
"bye honey" Emily said leaving the car
"bye"
When the car was out of sight, Emily turned around and stared at the building that she lived along with two other girls from her college. She lived on the third floor, in a three bedroom apartment, one for each. After sharing the bedroom in her first year she decided to never do that again, and the other two were way better than her roommate. Right now nobody was home, Alicia was at one of her classes and Jessica was at the cafe near the building where she worked.
When Emily entered her room she saw that she had forgotten her computer on, and there were a bunch of facebook messages of people who though that she was online, she hated when that happened, she started reading them and one from Spencer got her attention. Spencer was saying that she wanted to come visit. Emily picked up her phone as fast as she could to call Spencer. It's been three years after that whole A thing ended and her first girlfriend was murdered, after that Emily pushed herself away from her best friends back then, she just wanted to forget everything that would remember those days. She had to admit that over the months and years, they were practically strangers and Emily did miss them but wasn't sure how to get closer to them after all this time, maybe this chance of seeing Spencer could be the start she was waiting.
"Hello, Spencer?" Emily asked over the phone a little guilty considering she didn't call them many times over the years, maybe that's why Spencer chose to leave a message on facebook instead of calling her.
"Can you believe that I almost forgot your voice?" Gosh, Emily missed her friends
"Actually I can, and I'm sorry, I know it's my fault" She finally said
"We can talk about it at lunch tomorrow, this is… if you want" Emily's face lighted up when she heard that
"sure, where do you wanna eat?" She spoke so fast she questioned if Spencer would understand
"Well, you're the one who lives there, you decide, I trust you that much"
"Okay, there is a place here that I always go, It's called Hazel's"
"Is it easy to find?"
"yeah, you can ask anyone, it's pretty popular around here"
"hazel's it is then, see you tomorrow Em" and then they turned off the phones
At the moment she turned off her cell phone she realized, that she missed the girls way more that she'd imagined, good thing that she would see Spencer tomorrow, she actually couldn't explain how she could let this distance get so big, she was so focused on starting a new life away from all that confusion and pain that she also got away from the good things she had, but that was about to change. It was a good time to officially leave the past in the past, and recover the amazing friendships she had. There was definitely many things to talk about.
