"Em, are you here?" Alison calls out as the four girls entered the Field's homestead. "Em!" Hanna yells throughout the house. The echo travelling up the stairs. "She isn't here either. Where is she?" Spencer asks as the girls ponder Emily's whereabouts. Alison felt a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach as she remembered the text from A the night before. 'No Ali, you can't think like that. She is fine.' Alison said to herself. "Okay, I will call the brew and see if Emily is there working. Hanna you call Paige and Sydney and find out if they have seen her. Aria and Ali, you guys think of possible places that she could be and check them out. If anyone finds her then let the rest of us know." Spencer barked out orders to all of the girls but the orders were clever of her so the girls went straight to action. Alison could hear the hint of worry in Spencer's voice and she could feel the panic and tension amongst the girls. They were just as worried as she was. Aria and Alison left Emily's house and hopped into Aria's car. They drove into the town toward the school. "Maybe she is at the pool, she likes to go for a swim to think." Aria says to Ali. They park the car at the school and exit the vehicle. "Wouldn't that damage her shoulder more?" Ali asks concerned. Aria shakes her head. "So long as she doesn't swim competitively then she can still swim. She just has to take it easy." The two girls walk through the doors of the gym to the pool. "Em!" Aria yells throughout the gym. They walked into the locker room and made their way to Emily's locker. "Do you know the code?" Aria asks Alison as she tries numerous times to unlock the locker. Alison shakes her head. She flashes back to a time in the locker room.
"You are driving me home today after school yeah?" Emily nods and looks to Alison. "Yeah, of course but I have swimming practice after school." Alison smiles as Emily enters the code to unlock her locker. 06-06-94. "Your code is my birthday?" Alison giggles as Emily blushes.
"Wait." Alison says as she steps in front of the locker. She enters the code. 06-06-94 into the tumbler and the locker unlocks. Alison smiles sadly as she opens Emily's locker to see if there is anything that can help them find her. "How did you know the code?" Aria says as she appears next to Ali. Ali lets out half a laugh. "She hasn't changed it for two and a half years." Alison murmurs as they search through her locker. Nothing was found to help them find Emily. "Where could she be?" Aria says to herself aloud. The pit in Alison's stomach gets more painful, agonizing her to the point where she has to bend over and suck in oxygen. "Hey, are you okay?" Alison hears Aria and feels her hand on her back. "Yeah, I just, this is just messed up and I am really worried about Emily. I just have this feeling that something bad has happened to her." Alison starts to cry from physical but also emotional pain. Aria rubs Alison's back as she cries. "Emily is the toughest girl I know, wherever she is, she will find her way back here." Aria soothes the emotional flood in the locker room. Alison stands up as the stomach ache disperses a small amount. "How do you know?" Alison responds, wiping the tears away. Aria smiles at Alison and pulls her in for a hug. "Because you are here. Emily loves you more than anything and I'm starting to think that it's not one sided. Is it?" Aria whispers in her ear. Alison nods her head announcing to Aria that she is in love with Emily. Alison pulls out of the hug. "I need to show you something." Alison says as she pulls out her phone and shows Aria the text that she got from A the night before. Aria's eyes widened as she read the screen. She looks back up to Ali. "So you think A has got her?" Alison nods in response. Aria gets up to leave. "We have to tell the others." Alison follows Aria out of the gym back to the car.
"Please, stop, I can't take it anymore!" Emily screams as A punches her in the stomach again. Emily feels her right eye swelling and the soreness from the bruises appearing on her stomach and face. "What do you want?" Emily yells out. A stops themselves from punching her again. She asked the right question. A doesn't respond. They simply walk over to a table and write on a card. Emily watches painfully as A walks back over to her with the card. They show her the card. 'To watch Alison DiLaurentis suffer. Starting with breaking her heart.' Emily gasps as A throws out another punch to her jaw knocking her unconscious.
"WAIT!" Alison yells through the car causing Aria to swerve in surprise. "The kissing rock. We were there last night. Maybe she went there to think!" Alison identifies to her friend. Aria immediately does a U-Turn and heads in the direction of the kissing rock. Alison's phone buzzes. "It's Spencer." She says to Aria as she answers the phone.
"Hey Spence."
"Hey Ali, any luck?"
"No, we are checking one more spot and if she isn't there then we are coming back to you guys."
"Okay, we hope you come back with Emily. Hanna is freaking out and eating all the cookies I made for everyone."
"Save some for us."
"I am not getting into a wrestling match with Hanna over food. Come home quick if you want some."
Spencer hangs up and Alison feels the pit in her stomach get even larger. She knows that Emily is in trouble now. She opens up her phone and texts Emily again. "I'm so sorry Em. I love you." Alison clicks send and begins to cry as she puts her phone back in her bag.
