A/N: I know it's been a while, you can all kill me later for it.

Emily stood by the window, her hands shaking as she read the text message over and over again.

She had kissed Hanna last night.

"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!" Emily whispered harshly to herself as she buried her head in her hands.

How did A always find out so fast? It had happened less than twenty four hours ago and there was absolutely no evidence that a kiss had even taken place.

"Why did Hanna run away then? I was drunk, she has to know that I didn't mean to force myself on her." Emily asked herself.

"Em?"

Emily turned around and was faced with an out of breath Spencer.

"Did you find her Spence?" Emily desperately asked.

Spencer shook her head. "She couldn't have gotten far though, I'm sure we could find her if we drive."

Emily nodded absentmindedly as she ran a hand through her hair. She didn't notice Spencer scrutinizing her from the doorway.

"You got a text to didn't you?" Spencer accused, walking closer to Emily.

Emily looked down at her shoes and refused to make eye contact. She was already ashamed of herself and she didn't need to see the disappointment on Spencer face if she told her, she just couldn't handle it right now.

"You're seriously not going to tell me what A said that made my best friend run out of the room crying? Emily, she could be in serious danger right now and we wouldn't even know. Hell A could even be after her as we speak. Are you really going to keep m-"

"Shut up!" Emily exclaimed, "Just shut up Spencer. If Hanna was in trouble I would tell you in a heartbeat. I can't believe you think I'm actually that selfish that I would let our best friend be murdered because of some stupid secret."

Spencer looked down in shame and pondered her thoughts for a few quiet moments. "It's happened before..." She trailed off.

Emily gasped and looked at Spencer. "Are you saying that I'm responsible for Alison's death?"

Spencer looked at Emily with wide eyes. "No I didn't mean it like that Em!" She exclaimed rushing over to reassure Emily. "It wasn't our fault that Ali died okay? Yes we may have contributed somehow, but we didn't kill her. Ali was murdered for a reason, a reason that she took with her to the grave. Her secrets ended up killing her Em!"

Emily closed her eyes as she felt the emotion welling behind it. She hated having secrets, ever since she was little she always felt guilty about secrets. Alison changed that, Alison changed her. In middle school she didn't give a fuck if her best friends knew all of her business, as long as Ali was there everything was fine.

Now with Ali gone Emily had hit a wall. A wall that was slowly crumbling with the weight of A and her secrets. The wall was the only thing that kept her sane, without it Emily would end up telling everyone her secrets.

"I kissed Hanna."

Emily clenched her hand into fists as the silence overwhelmed her. She refused to open her eyes not wanting to see Spencer's disgust.

"Why?"

Emily opened her eyes. "What?"

Spencer crossed her arms and raised her eye brows. "Why did you kiss her? You know she's not gay, unless you know something that I don't?"

Emily shrugged. "I was drunk Spence, I honestly didn't even know I kissed her until A texted me." She shrugged feeling ashamed.

Spencer looked at her and nodded after a prolonged silence. "Okay, well that really sucks for Hanna then. Did you kiss her or did she kiss you?"

"I don't know, but she wouldn't have run out it she had kissed me. I must have forced myself on her and now A is going to make everyone think that she's a lesbian."

Spencer sighed and shook her head. "A really is a bitch!"

Emily sighed and nodded in agreement. She deleted the message before pulling up her contacts list and calling Hanna. She doubted that Hanna would even pick up the phone, especially with her on the other end but she had to try. On the forth ring Emily moved her thumb over the button to disconnect the call before she heard a quiet Hello?'

Emily let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding and raised the phone to her ear.

"Hanna? Where are you?" Emily asked trying to sound concerned but not desperate.

She heard Hanna sniffle before answering, "I don't know, I just ran."

"Can I come pick you up?" Emily questioned as she started pick up her coat and purse.

"Sure, I guess. Just take a right when you leave Spencer's house and you'll find me eventually."

Emily nodded to herself, "Okay I'll be there soon, be careful Hanna."

Emily sighed and looked up at Spencer when she was met with the disconnected tone. "I'm going to go pick her up. I'll call you when I drop her off." Emily said as she shrugged on her coat.

Spencer stood there with her arms crossed and a frown on her face. "Are you sure you don't want me to get her? She might want some space from you for a while." Spencer offered.

Emily shook her head, "No she wouldn't have said yes if she didn't want to talk to me." She paused seeing the look on Spencer's face "Don't worry, I'll take care of her Spence." Emily said as she wrapped Spencer up in a hug.

Spencer nodded and returned the hug, "Don't forget to call me Em." She said as Emily ran out of her room.

Spencer let out a breath as she heard the front door close. She moved to the window and watched as Emily quickly got into her car and started it up, carefully backing out of the driveway.

She sighed and sat on her bed, putting her hands in her hair. A small beeping noise broke her silence and she reluctantly pulled it from her pocket.

She looked at it like it was going to kill her and then devour her body after her heart stopped beating. Reluctantly she opened her phone and clicked on the little envelope.

It sucks watching your two best friends fall for each other doesn't it Spence? Especially when poor little Spencer has feelings for one of them. Don't worry, I'll try my best to break them up for you.

XOXO
