Spencer woke up in the middle of the night to a restless Emily. She looked at her alarm clock and it read 2:17. It wasn't until Emily began to cry in her sleep, that Spencer noticed she felt really hot. Spencer separated from the girl and shook her gently to wake her. When Emily mumbled back to consciousness, Spencer put the back of her hand against Emily's forehead and cheeks.
With a worried look plastered across Spencer's face, she asked, "Hey Em, look at me. Are you okay, does something hurt?"
Emily replied by opening her eyes and grabbing a hold of Spencer and hugging her neck tightly. She cried into Spencer's neck and didn't let go until the sobs became light whimpers. Spencer pushed her away a few inches to look at Emily.
Emily stared back at Spencer with tears in her eyes. "Can we talk?" Emily asked with a grainy and exhausted voice.
"Of course Em, always. What's the matter?" Spencer replied back.
"I had a dream a..an..and I thought I lost you. We were back at that place, and when we all came out of our rooms when the generator was off, you didn't come out. I walked to your door and opened it. Then I saw you on the ground. There was blood, so much blood. I fell down to you and tried to wake you up, but I couldn't. I thought I lost you Spence." Emily managed to get out in between sobs.
"Hey it's okay. You don't have to worry about that. I'm right here and I'm never going to leave you. Ever." Spencer whispered into Emily's ear. When Spencer was finished reassuring Emily that all was well, they pulled apart and stared into each other's eyes like before. With only the moonlight shining into Spencer's room, Spencer slowly grabbed Emily and pulled her close and leaned forward to kiss her on the forehead.
Then Spencer remembered Emily's fever when her lips met the girl's forehead. She jumped off the bed and went to the bathroom to grab a wet washcloth and a thermometer. She had Emily take her temperature and lay back with the washcloth on her forehead. After a few minutes Spencer took the thermometer back and read the number. 101. It was high, but she knew she could knock it down some. She came back to Emily and made sure she was comfortable, and when she was sure Emily would be okay, she went down stairs to the kitchen.
She pulled out the ingredients to make her Nana's chicken noodle soup. After about an hour it was almost five o'clock in the morning, Spencer had finished making the soup. She grabbed fever reducing pills and took a bowl of soup up to Emily who still seemed to be asleep. She put the soup on her night stand and woke up Emily.
"Em, wake up. I made you some soup and I have some medicine that will help with your fever." She said softly.
Emily stirred for a few seconds and then her eyes fluttered open. She looks at Spencer with a smile. "Spence, you made me soup?"
"Yeah it's my Nana's recipe. It should help with your fever. Now, take these and then eat up." Spencer responded with pride in her eyes.
After Emily finished her soup and complimented Spencer on her cooking skills, the girls decided to try and get some more sleep. They wouldn't have to get up early any way because they didn't have school. These days the girls appreciated weekends even more. They could get away from the world and ignore Rosewood. It was nice.
When Emily and Spencer woke up it was 10:00 on the dot. Then a buzzing noise came from Spencer's nightstand. She was getting a call, and when she looked at the caller I.D. she giggled a little to find out it was Hannah. She knew the girl was calling to ask for company on her Mall trip. So she answered the call and the two girls chatted on speaker phone so Spencer and Emily could talk to Hannah. They agreed to meet up at the mall in an hour and a half. This gave Emily time to wake up, shower, and grab a cup of coffee before leaving.
When they got to the mall they saw Hannah's car and parked by her. They all got out of their separate cars and greeted each other before walking to the front of the mall. Hannah was in no mood to ask questions she was on a mission to buy clothes.
Spencer and Emily were sitting out side of Hannah's dressing room, waiting for the blonde to finish trying on clothes. this is always how their trips managed to turn out when any of the girls went to the mall with Hannah. Aria got out of it this time. she was with Ezra at his apartment.
Spencer and Emily were being patient. they got lost in there own world and Hannah saw a glimpse of it when she stepped out of her dressing room and saw the two staring at each other smiling, while getting lost in the others eyes.
The two separated when the heard a cough and looked up at Hannah.
"You two are so cute, it's going to make me sick." Hannah said giddily.
Spencer looked at Hannah with a red face.'s She had been caught, by Hannah, she had been caught by Emily, and most of all she felt like she had been caught by herself. She didn't want to admit it, but she was falling for the raven haired girl.
All of a sudden she felt an ache in her stomach and became pale. I guess you could say she became love sick.
"Oh no! I cant be falling for Emily. What if she doesn't feel the same?" Spencer thought.
"Spence, are you okay?" she heard Emily ask.
"Hmm? oh yeah I'm fine. sorry, I just got a little nauseous." Spencer responded quickly.
"Give me your keys, I'm taking you home. You don't look so good." Emily grabbed the keys and then Spencer's hand.
This action caused Spencer to become slightly dizzy, and she lost her step. Luckily Emily was there to catch her.
Emily drove back to Spencer house quickly, glancing at Spencer every once in a while with a worried look on her face.
Spencer's mind was racing. She couldn't come up with one thought as to what was happening. So, she shut her eyes.
Emily saw that and grabbed Spencer hand. This made a tingly feeling shoot through Spencer's body.
When they got to Spencer house Emily shook Spencer to let her know they were home. she then got out of the car and ran over to Spencer's side to open the door and help Spencer inside. they didn't make it very far though. Spencer was so shaken by her feelings, that she only lasted as far as the couch. Then she plopped down and relaxed into the soft cushions on it. Emily left her and went to heat up some soup not knowing what was really wrong with Spencer. When she came back she saw Spencer sitting up, a lot stronger than before.
"We need to talk." Was all Spencer said.
