Hey, guys! I´m so sorry I´m late, I had a lot of stuff going on. Sorry :)

Let me know what you think. I promise that next chapter will be longer.

"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.

Paige let go of Emily's hand, and took a closer look of the woman in front of her. The woman had a tan skin, dark hair and beautiful dark eyes that made her stomach fill in with butterflies. She shook her head, trying to make that feeling go away. She couldn't feel that way about her; she just needed that woman to trust her. Besides she had just broken up with her girlfriend.

Paige was not like Emily had imagined her. Paige had a beautiful long, brown hair, and brown eyes. Paige was looking at her; Emily felt that Paige´s eyes could somehow know what Emily was thinking.

"Hey! Earth to Paige and Emily," Hanna said, waving her hands in front of them. Emily looked at Hanna.

"Sorry." Emily and Paige said at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. Hanna and Alison looked at each other and smiled teasingly.

"What?" said Emily.

"Nothing," Alison said. "Paige, are you busy? We could all grab dinner together," Ali said "What do you think?"

Paige thought about it for a second, and decided that she was going to spend more time with Emily. She could visit her sister later, and Emily, according to what Samara had said, knew the cure.

"I was going to visit Rachel, but I can do that later." Paige said.

"Han? Em?" said Alison, looking at the other two women standing next to her.

Emily directed her gaze to Paige. "Sure," She said and nodded "But I need to give Carter a ride to a medical appointment first, I won't take long."

"I can go" Said Hanna "Can Caleb come with us?"

"Yeah, sure, so I'll call Noel and… You two guys can go together," Alison said smiling, and Hanna let out a giggle. "That way you get to know each other." said Alison.

Emily and Paige looked to each other again and let out a laugh almost at the same time. Paige's stomach fluttered when she heard that sweet chuckle.

"Where should I wait?" Paige said.

"You can go with Emily, right, Em?"

"Sure," Emily smiled sweetly at Paige. "Do you mind if we go and pick up someone? I promised I would take her to her medical appointment."

"Sure," Paige said. "As long as I don't have to see you two making out, it's okay." The four women laughed. And Paige turned to catch Emily staring. Emily smiled and lowered her gaze and Paige smiled proudly.

Emily walked to the door and Paige was already there, holding it open for her. "Thank you." Paige smiled and Emily felt that her stomach fluttered. She hadn't felt like that in a long time.

Emily hadn't been with anyone since High School. She used to date a girl called Samara; she fell in love with her but Samara did something Emily would never forget; something that destroyed Emily.

They drove in silence for around ten minutes, and got to a set of RVs. "We are here," Emily said, and turned off the car's engine.

Carter heard a car pulling over and looked through the little RV´s kitchen´s window. She felt her phone buzzing; A new text message. Garb me a jacket? – Emily. Carter smiled and walked to the room Emily and her shared. Two different beds were settled in the little room, there was a little table between them. She opened the closet, took out a jacket and walked out. She saw Emily's car parked next to their RV. Emily was leaning against her car, smiling. Carter´s heart fluttered at the sight of the taller girl. "Here," She handed the jacket to Emily.

"Thanks" Emily smiled shyly. Carter walked to the passenger's door. "Wait," Said Emily. "Do you mind sitting on the backseat?" Emily said, smiling apologetically.

"Sure," Carter caught the sight of a woman sitting on the passenger's seat. "Wait. Who the hell is that?"

"Oh… She's Paige; Ali´s friend," Said Emily.

"Is she like Alison?"

"I met her like an hour ago, how could I possibly know?" Carter rolled her eyes.

"Okay then…" She climbed into the car.

Emily was followed by Paige's gaze while she climbed off the car and walked out. She leaned against the car and started to tie her hair in a ponytail. The sunlight highlighted Emily's perfect features.

After a few minutes, a woman came out of the RV they were parked next to. Emily's face brightened; that made Paige want to know who the brunette shorty was.

The woman sat on the backseat and Emily got in the car.

Paige turned around. "I'm Paige." She smiled kindly and Carter looked at her in surprise.

"Wow, you are definitely not like Alison," She said. "I'm Carter." She offered her hand to Paige and Paige shook it "Nice to meet you." said Carter.

"Same," Paige replied, smiling. Emily turned on the engine of her car, smiling.

Paige and Carter talked all the way to the hospital while Emily was lost in her thoughts; her cousin´s disappearance kept haunting her.

"It was really nice to meet you, Paige" Carter said and climbed off the car. "Bye, Em." She closed the door.

"Bye, do you need me to drive you home?" Emily offered.

"No thanks," Carter winked at. "You owe it to me though … Don't worry, I'll think about a way for you to make it up to me." She winked again, wining a smile of Emily´s.

Ali called Emily and told her where they were going to eat. "We will wait for you at the door, okay?"

"Okay." Emily answered.

"Bye." Alison said and Emily hung up.

When they got to the place, they found: Alison, Noel, Caleb and Hanna, waiting at the door.

"You are finally here!" Hanna said and groaned. "I'm starving!" Paige held the door open.

"I´m sorry, Han." Emily said.

After talking, eating, drinking and laughing, they decided to call it a night. Paige did not want to let Caleb pay, however, as they fought, Emily sneaked and paid.

They said their good-byes and thanked Emily for the food. "Goodnight, Em" Hanna said "Talk to you tomorrow?" Emily nodded and waved at Caleb and Noel. Alison hugged her and whispered: "Be careful, Em; Remember what happened last time" they pulled away and Emily turned around to see Paige with her phone on one hand texting to someone.

"Ready?" Emily said. Paige locked her phone, looked up and nodded. They made their way to Emily´s car and got in. "I had a great night." Emily said, smiling at Paige.

"Yeah, me too," Paige replied sweetly.

Emily turned on the engine. "So… I never saw you around, how come?"

"I lived with my girlfriend in Philly a month ago, but taking into account that my sister and parents live here, I decided to return to Rosewood. I don't know why hadn´t we met before." She felt like they had though.

"Does your girlfriend still live there?" Paige realized she had used the wrong word; she wasn't used to say ex-girlfriend yet.

Paige kept quiet for a while. "Aren't you going to get that?" Emily said and Paige realized that her phone was buzzing. She read the name on the screen. Brooke. She pressed the answer button and took her phone to her ear. "What's up?" She said really enthusiastic comparing to how she was feeling.

"Paige! Finally! Rach-ʺBrooke didn't finish. Rachel, Paige thought; Brooke had been watching Rachel since Christina left the hospital.

"Brooke? Brooke!" The line went dead. Paige felt how her heart started to beat faster. "Crap."

"What's wrong?" Emily asked worriedly when Paige hung up.

"I don't know." Paige´s voice cracked.

"Did something happen to your sister?" Emily asked with a low tone of voice.

"I don't know; the line went dead." Paige´s eyes began to water.

Emily drove to the hospital and did her best to try to soothe Paige.

"Paige, calm down." Emily said, looking for an empty space in the parking lot.

"Sorry" Paige whispered, another tear rushing down her face. Emily parked the car and turned her face to her right.

"Paige" She said, tilting her head; Paige didn't turn around. "Paige, hey…" She caressed the other woman´s shoulder. Paige turned around, but didn´t look at Emily. Emily wiped the tears away from Paige´s face. "Come on, look at me." Paige looked at Emily "It´s going to be okay." Emily whispered. "Let´s go."

They had been waiting for half an hour in the waiting room. Alison was already there, sitting at Paige´s right. Emily had offered Paige a cup of coffee, but Paige hadn't took it. Paige´s head rested on Alison´s shoulder. Emily sat down next to Paige and a tall, raven-haired, woman approached them. Paige stood up and hugged her. "Brooke." She whispered.

"Hey" The other woman said. "Come on, I will take you to Rachel´s room."

When they got to the room, Paige ran to Rachel´s bed and knelt next to it. Rachel was paler than last time. Paige took her sister´s hand on her own. "Hey" She whispered. She felt someone kneeling next to her. To Paige´s surprise, it wasn´t Ali; It was Emily. She was staring at Rachel. Paige started to draw circles with her fingertips over her sister´s skin and kissed the little girl´s hand. "You will be alright."

"She was mumbling your name a while ago." Brooke said, smiling. "Paige, we need to talk" She said with a sad tone of voice. "Do you mind staying with Rachel for a while?" Brooke asked, looking at Emily, she wasn´t looking back at her though.

"Emily?" Paige asked. Emily nodded her head, but didn´t look back at them. "Okay."

Paige and Brooke left the room.

Emily put her hand over Rachel´s head; it was really cold. She took a look at the girl´s right hand. This can´t be happening, thought Emily. She uncovered the little girl´s feet and took a look at her fingerprints. Oh my god.

"What?!" shouted Paige and started crying.

"I´m so sorry, Paige." Brooke said, rubbing Paige´s back.

"Don´t be." She walked fast to the hospital´s front door. I need to talk to her.

"Is Samara there?" She said to the girl on the phone.

"She is busy, who is it?"

"It´s Paige McCullers, I talked to her earlier" The woman kept quiet. "Hello!" shouted Paige.

"Wait a minute." Some annoying music started playing.

"Hello?" Paige recognized Samara´s voice.

"Samara?" she asked.

"Yes."
"It´s Paige McCullers, I-"

"Meet my assistant at the brew. Be there in five."

"Okay so… for what you´ve told me you don´t know anything about Emily Fields, right?"

"Right" Paige said.

"Okay I´ll give you her folder and…"

"Wait" Paige cut her off. "What is this all about? Having everyone´s personal information and…"
"We just have what´s necessary. What we need to know. That is what we do for a living; Treat people with other people."
"What do you mean by "With"?" Paige asked confused.

"What did my sister tell you?" Samara´s sister asked.

"That Emily knows the cure."

"I think you got that wrong, honey."

"What do you mean?" Paige quizzed again.

"Emily doesn´t know the cure. Emily is the cure."
