Emily's Pov
I get to Hanna's apartment and knock on the door loudly. I hear a "Who is it?"
"Me, open up" the lock finally turns and I push open the door before she gets to.
"Hanna I hate her" I say while pushing my way inside. I look through her cabinet and see that she has literally no alcohol what so ever. I need something to take my mind off this whole situation. I slam the cabinet door shut.
"Will you calm down, and tell me why you're so upset" Hanna asks while returning to her couch. Which by the looks of it must have been where she slept. Due to the pile of blankets and pillows on the ground.
"I can't calm down, she so ughhh"
"Who is she, and what are you talking about, because all I know right now is that you burst into my door and tried to raid my cabinet"
"Oh sorry, it's not like I have a key to your apartment"
"Well you should have one made, like me" she tease but I don't want her humor I had enough humor from Mccullers
I make my way over to Hanna and I'm just about to sit down when I see a towel laying on the cushion.
"I wouldn't pick that up" she says
"Why?"
"I sort of threw up and I used that to wipe it up" I couldn't move fast enough
"Ewww Hanna"
"Sorry, you know I was wasted last night, but I'm fine now, sit next to Mama"
I'm hesitant at first, but finally decide to join her on the couch
"Now tell me what happened slowly and remember no lawyer big talk" I sigh
"Okay, I met the Defense Attorney today"
"Okay that's a good start" I roll my eyes
"Anyway, I was late because I over slept, thanks to you" Hanna gives me a wink
"So when I got there I heard Judge Montgomery laughing"
"Wait isn't she known as the Judge who never smiles?"
"Yes, but when I walked inside her office she was all grins and laughs"
"What made her so happy?"
"Apparently the Defense Attorney's charm, the Judge was just so fascinated by Paige, that she forgot about me being late and just let it slide"
Hanna's eyes goes wide
"What?" I ask
"This is the first time I ever heard you call a lawyer by their first name"
"What are you talking about yes I do"
"No, you never it's always their last name, tell me more about this new D.A she sounds nice"
"Well she isnt, she had a lot of side comment directed towards me and my client"
"Why do you care, doesn't everyone have some type of opinion about who you're representing in this case, I mean think about it, New York City's best lawyer is representing a bitch"
"HANNA, don't say that"
"Sorry but it's true, you know I hate Allison after what she put us and others through"
Hanna never liked Allison and I don't blame her we all had a rocky past and one of the main reason the both of us moved up here was for safety from A an old stalker of ours. I have two other friends Spencer and Aria but they're still living in Rosewood.
"I know how you feel about this Hanna and my decision is final, I'm still going to help her"
"Emily you don't owe her anything"
"I KNOW THAT, I'M JUST DOING MY JOB, NOW JUST LISTEN TO MY RANT OKAY!"
Hanna crosses her arm "Fine go on"
"Thank you, back to what I was saying, she was just so I don't know how to explain it, like she was someone who seeks attention, she would crack jokes just to see other's reaction"
"Gasp Emily, call the press sounds like she is a real serial killer"
"Hmm she could be, I bet it's listed in her bio on Facebook" Hanna gets up quickly almost knocking me off the couch
"SHE HAS A FACEBOOK!"
"Yes what's the big deal?"
Hanna runs to her room and I hear objects falling on the ground she returns with her laptop in hand and plops beside me
"All this time you were talking about some woman, when all you could have done was show me her"
"The point of my story was to tell you about my day, not talk about some woman" Hanna rolls her eyes while she types in her password for Facebook.
"Well all I heard from your day was this woman, and by the way you were talking about her, she sounds like the perfect woman for you"
"No way, I would never go out with someone like that, she is like a mini child"
"A child who clearly knows what she is doing, and getting into your mind, now give me her name"
I feel really bad stalking her, not like I care about her feelings its just feels weird. Yet I really want to know who this woman is. I take out her card from my purse and read out her name while Hanna types it inside the search bar.
"Even her name sounds hot" Hanna tease she presses search and suprisely only 2 people with the same name pops up.
"Which one is it?"
I grab her laptop "Umm I think the second one, I could be wrong"
Hanna clicks on the second one and it's a like page. I can't believe her, she is so arrogant who makes a like page about themselves?
"Wow Emily she graduated from William and Mary"
"Okay I graduated from UPenn!"
"Yes, but William and Mary is more historical" I know Hanna is just messing with me. Hanna stops laughing and zooms into Paige's face.
"Wait is this the same girl at the bar who sang to you last night?"
"No Hanna, you know you had a lot to drink last night" her face goes wide
"Yes it is, you're doing that thing?"
"What thing?" I ask scratching my arm
"You always scratch your arm when you lie"
"No I don't" I slowly bring my arm down
"Trust me Em, I know that's her I would remember a girl who made you blush like that"
"I don't blush" my fingers start moving towards my arm and she gives me her evil cheeky grin.
"We need to find this girl's real Facebook page as in profile"
"Ugh Hanna she doesn't have one"
"Yes she does, from what I heard she is a really sociable girl and sociable girls have social media and If I were a lawyer I wouldn't use my real name"
Paige's Pov
I get out of the shower to get ready for my interview. As much as I would like to stay in my home and binge watch a couple of tv shows, I need to put my responsibilities first.
I was going to wear the same thing I had on earlier but I'm going on the news I want to look nice. I look through my closet and pull out a nice pants suit.
After that I run into my bathroom to plug up my flat iron. I just want to bump my hair a little because I took a nap and my hair looks messy.
I look at myself in the mirror and realize HEY I'M GOING TO BE ON TV! I run into my bedroom and turned on Pandora and to my luck Haim comes on.
I catch a cab which is still hard for me, everything is so fast pact. I tell the driver where I'm heading and he nods.
I take out my phone to text Sydney
Paige: Make sure you catch me on the news tonight live
Syd: Yessss you already know, I have it prerecorded
Paige: I want you to watch it as it happens, not recored it
Syd: I know but I want to have copies
Paige: True good idea
Syd: Give me a shout out
Paige: That's so unprofessional
Syd: Ugh come on give me something, like move your hands
Paige: No the world will probaly think I'm in a gang
Syd: You're, the Syd Gang, Squad Squad
Paige: Don't ever say that again
Syd: Haha I'm so excited for you
Paige: Really because I'm nervous
Syd: Don't be, just don't think about it
Paige: It's kind of hard when you have all of New York City watching you
Syd: If it helps imagine all of New York City in their underwear
Paige: umm have you been to Times Square, there is no need to imagine
Syd: Whatever you will do fine, you are really good at talking to people just use your charm
Paige: I will try
I send my last message and open up my Facebook. I haven't logged on, for like forever. I doubt I even remember my password. I successfully login and laugh at my username Paige Turner I'm so clever. I have all these notifications. I decide to check out my like page since I havent updated it in years.
I notice that I have a few new likers. I will look at their profile after this interview
The moment I walk into the building a woman grabs me by my shoulders. "We have to get you to the make-up room"
"Umm I already put some on"
"A touch up wont hurt, now lets get you to the make-up artist" I smile and wave at the on going staff as this woman leads me down a hall.
"Lucas, can you fix make-up she goes on in five" the woman then shuts the door leaving me alone with this guy who looks just as nervous as I am.
"Hi?" I say with a friendly smile and he returns with a short quick smile
"Hi, you can take a seat here, if you would like"
I walk toward the seat "I would love to, I mean clearly since I'm unattractive"
"Non-sense you're beautiful, Melissa just brought you in here, just so I would get yelled at" he groans
"Why would I yell at you?" I ask while he puts foundation on my face
"Apparently you"
"Why would I yell at you?"
"I don't know maybe because the last lawyer we interviewed a few years back yelled at me, and I got a lot of heat from my boss"
"Awww, I would never yell at you, who was this lawyer?" I ask
"The world's famous Emily Fields, It was my first day on the job and we were running low on staff, and I had to do her make-up I told them I wasn't ready but Melissa hyped me up, I thought she was my friend, anyway I accidentally got foundation on her dress and she got really upset and stormed out, canceling her interview"
Wow how childish of her, I understand being upset but I wouldn't storm out especially if it was an accident. Arrogant and rude something else to add to the list.
"Anyway, I learned two things that day, one don't trust Melissa and two Emily Fields isn't all that nice everyone thinks she is"
"You got that right" Lucas laughs
"You have really great cheek bones" I find myself blushing
"Ohhh stop Lucas, you're just too great"
Lucus is really a nice guy, I gave him my number and we are going to get drinks soon. The whole Emily situation really gets to me, how can someone be so rude? I take a seat in the chair one of the crew member told me to, while I wait for the reporter to take her seat.
I love the Sullivan Show, it's so entertaining, I hope I don't get star strucked when I meet her. Here she comes now she talks to the camera man and then make her way towards me. I get up and extend my hand out and she laughs and pulls me into a hug.
"I love your show" I say trying to control my inner fangirl.
"Aww Sweetie, thank you" we take our seats and I'm trying to calm my nervousness she looks over her note cards
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking some basic questions about you,and if it's too personal you don't have to answer it"
She gives me a warm smile and that helps me relax
"Okay, but I'm not all that great, I don't know why you want to do a story about me" I ask drinking the water in front of me.
"Why wouldn't I want to have a story about you, you're representing New York, I'm sure the world wants to know who's hands we're in"
This woman does have a point "Just relax, and everything going to be fine"
Emily's Pov
"Ugh this is pointless, there is no sign of her anywhere" Hanna says waking me up
I get up to stretch my legs after waking up from my nap "You were still looking?" I ask letting out a yawn
"Yes, you know I enjoy mysteries so finding her page was like a mystery, a mystery I can't crack"
"Hanna who cares about her dumb Facebook anyway"
"I do she is your potential dream girl and I know it
"Hanna what did I say?"
"I don't know you say a lot of things, but this is something I know"
"Well right now, the only dream girl on my mind is pizza, how about we order some and binge watch Parks and Rec?"
"Fine, but this isn't over" I roll my eyes and pull out my phone to call Sal's while Hanna turns on the tv
I wait for someone to pick up
"Hello Sal's Pizza"
"Hi, I would like to place an order"
"Okay, pick up or delivery?"
"Delivery"
"Okay what would you like?"
"Can I have a cheese thin crust pizza and…" I look over at Hanna and her face is glued to the tv
I tell the person on the phone to hold on, while I try and get Hanna's pizza choice
"Hanna, what kind of pizza?" she shhhhs me
"What is your problem" she then points to the tv screen then I see her Mccullers waving to the camera with a big grin
"She on the Sullivan Show" Hanna says excitedly I put my phone back up to my ear
"I will have to call you back"
Paige's Pov
I smile and wave at the camera
"So Ms. Mccullers where are you from?" Dr. Sullivan asks
"Oh please call me Paige"
"Paige it is, beautiful name by the way"
"Thank you, my friends back home used to call me Paige Turner"
"Haha that's cute"
"Yes it was, until I couldn't walk into a book store without hearing a corny joke, about my name. By the way congrats on finally getting your doctorate degree"
There is clapping and cheers in the background all from the staff which make Dr. Sullivan blush
"Paige you're such a sweetheart, I'm sure you have a lucky guy at home"
I can just hear the record break in my head, but I laugh it off
"Well I do have a guy at home, but he's my roommate and I'm into women"
There is another cheer from the staff and now it's my turn to blush
"Well if I wasn't married to my husband, I would most defiantly take you out on a date, now tell us Paige where are you from"
"I'm from the two up and two down, Virginia"
"So you're more of a southerner and not a city girl?"
"Well I'm sort of both, you see when I was young my parents got a divorce and my Father moved to New York and my Mother stayed in Virginia, so I went back in fourth"
"The best of both worlds, I love it, what are your hobbies?"
"Well I was quite competitive as a kid a course by my career still am , I was the swim captain of my high school's swim team and played field hockey, so I guess I can say my hobbies are being active"
"We can clearly see how athletic you're"
I dip my head "Didn't you say, you were married" I tease
Dr. Sullivan laughs"You got me there, what do you like to do for fun?"
"I like to sing karaoke, I love watching Law and Order SVU, How to Get Away With Murder, Pawn Stars, and beatbox"
"You can beatbox, are you good?"
"I mean I think I am, I'm no TimberLand or Justin Timberlake"
"You have to show us"
"I don't know, I want you all to like me"
"Nonesense we already love you"
"Well I guess I can do a little something something"
I cup my hands to my mouth "Syd this one for you" I say to the camera
Emily's Pov
Hanna and I are watching the interview intensely as Paige performs
"Wow Em, she is really good, and It's like I'm even falling in love with her"
"Hanna shut up, she is evil don't let her act full you"
"Em, are you serious she is a sweetheart, I know you saw that head dip, that was the cutest thing I ever seen, and she was captain of the swim team just like you and most importantly SHE LIKES GIRLS"
"Okay, that doesn't mean anything"
"Emily I can just see it, you two falling in love, while you two talk about things law people talk about"
I can't deal with Hanna, Look at Paige smiling at the camera making the interviewer blush. Dr. Sullivan isn't all that great, when she interviewed me she was snooty.
I continue to watch the show
"Now that we know a little about you, can you tell us about the case or your thoughts on it?"
"Boring tell us your body count!" Hanna screams at the tv I shush her
Paige's face drops and she looks serious "Well legally all I can say is, I been doing my research and I feel certain that, I will be able to get my point across in the courtroom"
"And your points are?"
"Well my job as a defense attorney is to help the jury understand the situation, my point isnt to destroy Attorney's Fields life"
I gasps "Em she said your name!" I shush Hanna again because I couldn't believe she did either.
"How do you feel going against New York's City finest lawyer, I mean she won many cases, and knowing her personally, I know she's not going to go down without a fight"
"Well I feel quite honored, I know some of you probably think, my goal is to take away her honorable title but that's not the case. We are just two women trying to do our job well and at the end of the day, that's all that matters"
"I agree, tell me your reaction on meeting Attorney Fields, were you scarred, nervous, anxious?"
"Actually I was quite excited meeting her, she accomplished a lot at a young age as have I, and I respect that, but she does have… how can I say this… an arrogant persona about her"
My eyes are still glued to the tv even though Hanna looking at me with her mouth open.
"Please explain"
"It just when I met her, she questioned my judgement, which was understandable because she didn't know me, but even I would have given her a chance if I was in her shoes"
"Yes, I can see her doing that, she did the same when I interviewed her before"
I DID NOT THIS WOMAN IS LIEING!
"Then again, I still think Attorney Fields is a good person and I respect her, therefore I look forward into helping seek justice on this case, like I said before my job is to get the truth out and that's my goal and mission for representing the beautiful New York City"
"And Paige, we're glad you're representing us"
Dr. Sullivan faces the camera "Thanks for watchin..."
I turn off the tv because I no longer want to hear these lies. I look over at Hanna and she's on her laptop
"The trending topic on almost all the social media sites, is Paige, on Instagram there is a #Mccullersforpresident, she is also listed as a lot of people's WCW" I look at Hanna with rage
"There is good news, I found her Facebook, funny thing her username is Paige Turner"
I'm going to get that woman
Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Leave a review please :)
