Chapter 2

Everyone in school had their eyes on the new girl. Some people just checking her out because she was hot, some feeling sorry for her being deaf, others just admiring her from afar. Emily wasn't used to this kind of attention but she avoided it. Of course she saw attractive people in her classes but she didn't have any interest in them, her father wouldn't approve of it. Emily did meet someone that could talk to her in sign language. She was somewhat relieved that at least one person had already learned sign language. Her name was Samara, an attractive blonde that had a fair complexion, with blue eyes that mesmerized Emily. She has never seen anything about this girl on the school website, but she felt like she had to be on there. She was glad to have someone to talk to, without them struggling to communicate with her. Emily walked in the cafeteria and felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Spencer with a bright smile that made Emily smile herself.

"Sorry I couldn't walk with you, I had to talk to the principle about changing my classes to yours." Spencer said guiding Emily to her lunch table. Emily furrowed her eyebrows, almost confused that Spencer was giving up her AP classes just to share Emily's classes. Emily took her notebook out and began writing to Spencer. Emily gave Spencer the notebook and she read over the note.

Why are you giving up your classes for me?

"When I said that you should consider me your friend, I meant it. I want to make sure that you know who's going to be there and who won't. Count me as one of those people who is there already." Spencer said, giving Emily her notebook back. Emily took it slowly, still shocked that Spencer was giving up important classes for her. When she sat down at the table she recognized Aria from a few classes she was in.

"Adjusting well Emily?" Aria asked, making sure she was looking directly at Emily. Emily smiled and nodded, pulling out her lunch that her mother had packed for her.

"Gosh this is weird." Hanna blurted out, Emily still continuing her actions but secretly listening.

"Hanna! Don't be like Alison."

"I'm not it's just, she can't hear us but she can still communicate with us. It's weird, but not in a bad way. It's different." Hanna said, making sure not to get Emily's attention. Spencer sighed and took out some papers. "What's that?" Hanna asked, looking over Spencer's shoulder.

"Some papers I need to fill out so that I can share every class with Emily." Spencer said, carefully going over the sheets.

"You're giving up your college classes? For Emily?" Aria asked, almost shocked herself. Spencer looked up at Aria, and began to tap her pencil.

"Yes mother, are you okay with my decision?"

"It's just, different Spence. I think Emily should be okay by herself." Aria said, popping a grape in her mouth.

"You don't know that." Spencer mumbled and looked back down at the papers.

"Well in all honesty, you can't hang on to her like a tree monkey." Aria said, her tone completely changed from curiosity to a warning tone.

"It's my classes not yours Aria." Spencer said, matching her tone that was marking the end of the discussion. Emily sat there quietly, eating her lunch almost half done with everything. A familiar blonde walked up to the table and rubbed Emily's back. Emily looked up at her and smiled instantly. Samara was signing to Emily, as Emily was doing the same. The girls had a quiet conversation, which made Spencer's blood boil and she had no reason why. Spencer was literally glaring at the blonde who didn't seem to have too much to say to Emily. Samara then "said" something that made Emily laugh, like really laugh, not a chuckle, not a soft laugh, but an actual laugh. When Spencer heard it she couldn't help but smile at the laugh. It was like her laugh was a spell that Spencer couldn't help but fall under.

"Spencer? Spencer!" Hanna finally shoved Spencer's shoulder, knocking some sense into her. Spencer looked at Hanna then at Aria who was also wondering why Spencer spaced out on them.

"What happened?" Spencer asked, feeling like she was in a daze.

"You were practically glaring at the blonde chick. Kind of like you wanted to kill her." Hanna said, chewing on a celery stick. Spencer then looked at Emily, who was watching the entire conversation.

"Emily, how do you know that girl?" Spencer asked, placing her hand on Emily's forearm. Emily briefly looked down at Spencer's hand and wrote in her notebook, the only means of communication between her and the girls.

She's in my biology class, you went to the office.

"That's right, I forgot about that. How does she know sign language?" Spencer felt like she was crossing a line but she needed to know. Emily scribbled away and held it up for all the girls to see.

Her cousin is deaf.

Aria and Hanna looked at each other confused, wondering why their best friend was asking constant questions. Spencer nodded and looked back down at the papers, she wanted to be in the same classes as Emily, but the only thing she couldn't find out was why she wanted to do it. All of a sudden a loud booming noise filled the cafeteria, making both Hanna and Aria jump and scream and a couple of other people dropping their lunches on the floor. Spencer held her hand to her chest and yelped in the process. Emily's heart jumped against her ribcage and she squeezed her eyes shut, but immediately opened them. She furrowed her eyebrows while looking at the girls.

"Alison what the fuck is your problem?" Spencer angrily said, slamming her hands on the table. Emily looked to the side of her and saw three very large textbooks that were the cause of the noise. She then looked up at Alison, with a very devilish smirk being directed at Emily.

"Just testing something." Alison replied with much ease and venom. She grabbed the textbooks and gave them back to a nearby table. She then sat down right next to Hanna, keeping her eyes on Emily.

"Well I'm more awake now then I was just a minute ago." Hanna said, her hand slightly trembling. Emily brushed off some crumbs from the table and looked at Alison directly, not being easily intimidated.

"Alison she's deaf. You proved your point, now leave it alone." Aria began to get irritated in the blondes antics. Alison still kept her eyes on Emily, trying to read what Emily's thought process was. Emily dragged her notebook and began to write in it. She smirked as she slid the notebook to Alison.

Was that supposed to scare me?

Alison kicked Emily's chair away from the table and immediately stood in front of her.

"You little shit!" Alison screamed in Emily's face, her eyes piercing into Emily's.

"Alison stop!" Spencer got up and pushed Alison away from Emily. Emily sat there examining the two girls. "Just leave her alone Alison."

"I know what the truth is Fields, so don't be surprised when I find out." Alison angrily walked away, pushing a couple of people out of the way in to process. Spencer turned around to check on Emily only to see Emily walking out the double doors leading outside. Emily sat on some bleachers, watching the girls' soccer team practice. Emily put her head down and let out a deep sigh, shutting her eyes not wanting to see another soccer drill. She wished her dad was still here, to hold her and whisper to her that it's going to be okay. She wanted her dad here with her, but she knew that could never happen, not in this life.

"Emily?" Spencer quietly walked up to her and touched her shoulder. Emily looked up at the contact and quickly wiped away her tears, looking in another direction. Spencer sat down next to Emily, rubbing her back. Emily didn't want to look at Spencer, she didn't want her to see her crying. Spencer pulled Emily into a half hug, that Emily quickly turned into a full on hug. Spencer's heart broke into a million pieces when she felt hot tears on her chest. Emily had trouble catching her breath from crying so hard, but she needed this release, she needed someone to hold her, someone to be her rock at the moment. She was just glad that it was Spencer. Spencer wrapped her arms around Emily, trying to hold back tears herself, but proving that it was harder than she imagined. Her breathing became unsteady, tears falling peacefully only making Spencer hold on to Emily tighter.

"It will be okay. It'll be okay Emily." Spencer whispered in Emily's ear, only making Emily cry harder. Emily's grip on Spencer's cardigan tighten immensely, almost as if she tried to make sure that Spencer wouldn't back away. They both sat there, holding each other, both of them just wanting for this day to be over with. Hours passed when Emily finally lifted her head, she realized that she had fallen asleep in Spencer's arms. She looked at Spencer who had a small smile on her face, tear streaks evident. Spencer cupped Emily's cheek and rubbed under her eye, making sure there weren't any stray tears. Spencer stared at Emily's face, trying to find something…anything. All she saw was a broken girl, who was scared out of her mind. Emily grabbed Spencer's wrist, mesmerized by her big brown eyes. The girls were inches apart, all they had to do was shift their position and they would be kissing. Spencer shook the thought away and cleared her throat. "I should get you home, before your mom worries." Spencer backed away slightly as Emily nodded. The girls sat quietly in Spencer's car, Spencer going back and forth on whether to turn on the radio, not that Emily would mind or anything. She opted not to turn it on, feeling like it would be disrespectful to her. She glanced at Emily quickly who was staring out the window peacefully, a completely different composure than what she was earlier. Spencer then tapped Emily's arm, making her look towards her.

"I just want to apologize for Alison. She can be really cruel at times, she feels like she is right about everything. I should have done more in defending you, I feel awful that she crossed a major line with you. You probably saw what she called you but you're lucky that you didn't hear it." Spencer said, glancing over at Emily occasionally, but making sure her attention was on the road. Emily had a small smile come across her face and grabbed Spencer's hand, stroking her knuckles lightly. Spencer felt at ease with Emily, like she didn't have to use extensive vocabulary to impress her at all. Spencer pulled in front of Emily's house and turned off the car. Emily looked at her and smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. Spencer got out of the car, walking beside Emily. Before they reached the steps, Pam opened the door.

"There you are, I was starting to get worried about you." Pam signed and hugged Emily, stepping back and looked at Spencer. "Come on in Spencer." Spencer smiled and followed Emily and Pam into the house. Spencer admired the décor, simple yet elegant. As the other two settled on the couch Spencer examined their family photos. Emily had her breathtaking smile and they reached her eyes, she was with this man that Spencer assumed was her father. Spencer then saw the same man's photo in his Class A's, with a very nice smile for someone that was in the military.

"Army?" Spencer thought out loud.

"Yes, he loved his job very much." Pam said softly, so softly that Spencer barely heard her.

"Loved?" Spencer then turned to face the two women on the couch, Emily staring at the coffee table before her. Pam's small smile faded quickly when Spencer asked her question. Pam stood up from her seat and walked over to the mantle above the fireplace, Emily looked up at her as did Spencer. Spencer realized the folded American flag that was framed right next to the man's picture.

"Yes, loved. Today will mark the 2nd anniversary of his death, much to our demise. He was such a great man, he would have been fond of you very much so. Emily misses him terribly, I hear her cry sometimes in the night, she's lost without him here. She still has yet to read the official papers of his death, but she keeps them in her room to remind her. It's hard to live without the man that made you feel alive, that loved you and pushed you to do your best no matter what the circumstances. It's hard to lose a husband, but it's life changing when you lose your father." Pam said tearfully, trying to keep her composure. Spencer felt their pain, she knew that they were still stuck in a rut, especially Emily. Spencer glanced down at the brunette who had her eyes closed tight and breathing heavily. Before Spencer could make a move towards her Emily shot up from the couch and pulled her mother into the kitchen. Spencer stared at the framed picture and flag, studying the man like a calculus book.

"I'm sorry Mr. Fields, I didn't mean to get them emotional about you. Forgive me." Spencer whispered to the picture. Spencer was smart but she still had a feeling that there was something out there watching over them to say the least.

Emily tugged her mother into the kitchen and began to sign frantically. Pam knew that if Emily talked, she would be getting an ear full at this moment.

"Emily please, stop." Pam said softly and grabbed Emily's hands lowering them down from her face. "I know that you don't want people to find out about your father but she asked about him. I'm going to ask her to stay for dinner." Pam crossed her arms, making Emily's eyebrows furrow. She sighed in frustration and stomped out of the kitchen. Emily didn't even bother looking at Spencer as she stomped up the stairs, making Spencer worry. Pam then entered the living room with a half-smile.

"Is Emily okay?" Spencer stuffed her hands in her back pockets.

"Uh, yes she is. Would you like to stay over for dinner?" Pam asked in a motherly tone.

"I don't want to impose Ms. Fields."

"You're not, I'm inviting you." Pam then squeezed Spencer's shoulder and pulled her into a hug. Spencer happily returned the hug, thrilled that she was going to spend an evening with Emily and her mom. "Now, go keep Emily company while I make dinner." Pam then retreated to the kitchen. Spencer sighed and made her way up the stairs. Finding Emily's room was particularly easy, since there was her name posted on the door. Spencer cautiously looked in the room and saw Emily staring out the window, music playing softly. Spencer walked in quietly, and admired Emily, who was examining everything out the window. Spencer placed her hand on Emily's shoulder, making Emily jump slightly. She looked up at Spencer and smiled quickly at her, sighing when she looked back out the window. Emily felt Spencer's presence, moved her legs from the bench and patted the seat next to her. Spencer took the seat and looked out the window with Emily.

"It gets prettier when the sun sets." Spencer said, not really paying attention to the fact that she wasn't facing Emily completely. "When it's in the middle of summer and the sun sets, all the pinks and purples hit the sky combining with the orange of the sun is really breathtaking. In winter it's the complete opposite, Rosewood has its perks when it does." Spencer smiled at the thought and looked over at Emily, who was still looking at the window. Spencer's eyes moved down from Emily's face to her neck, her muscles being well defined, her eyes continued to move down. Emily's chest was rising and falling beautifully, Emily made breathing beautiful and everyone else made it look ugly. "You're so beautiful Emily." Emily's heart raced quickly, not knowing what to do. Emily looked at Spencer dead in the eyes, seeing a spark of lust in them. Emily smirked at Spencer and leaned her head against the wall behind her, not taking her eyes off Spencer. Spencer chuckled and looked down at her hands, not knowing what to do with them.

"Girls! Dinner is ready!" Pam yelled from downstairs. Spencer got up from the bench and held her hand out for Emily.

"Dinner is ready." Spencer said, Emily taking her hand and walking with her. Spencer's stomach was doing flips at the contact. When the girls entered the dining room, Emily dropped Spencer's hand and took her seat. Spencer almost pouted at the fact that she did that but quickly dismissed it. Spencer took her seat across Pam and settled in the chair. Pam then joined the girls and held out her hands for both of them. Emily took it and held out her other hand for Spencer. Spencer was at first confused but took both hands and closed her eyes.

"Dear God please bless us for this food and this wonderful day that you have gave us. We thank you for allowing this woman before me to join us this evening. We ask of you and our dearest Wayne to watch over us and protect us as well as our new friend. Amen." Pam lifted her head and let go of the girls' hands. Spencer opened her eyes and smiled at Pam. Emily lifted her head and placed the napkin in her lap. A few minutes had passed, all three not really saying anything.

"Do you miss her voice?" Spencer asked in all curiosity but hoping she didn't cross a line. Pam halted her movements of cutting her chicken and slowly looked up at Spencer, tears welling up in her eyes.
