How Can You Say That, You Don't Even Know Her!

"Cece hold on!" Emily said jogging towards the street that she had figured Cece had taken right after she exited the Church. Where could she be? Ugh better question is what the hell just happened?! One minute I'm telling Cece how much better she is than Ali, and the next thing I know she's getting bitch slapped by my ex! Whoa, whoa, whoa wait a minute, my ex? Where did that come from?! Paige and I haven't even talked yet. Then again, what is there to talk about?

"Emily?" Emily turned her head to see if Cece had seen her looking for her, but instantly regretted that she did when she turned to see Paige.

"What the hell is it now Paige?" Emily asked, obviously annoyed.

"We need to talk."

"There's nothing to talk about." Emily responded, darting her eyes hoping to see Cece in the street but just saw a bunch of people she didn't even know. I wish I could just see her and apologize; I didn't even know Paige was taking morning hours.

"Emily, look at me," Paige requested. As much as Emily didn't want to, she knew she had to, so she did. "Do you care about me?"

"What kind of a freakin' question is that Paige, what planet do you live on, of course I do!"

"Then why are you taking interest in that no good whore, call me insane but I'm pretty sure I'm your girlfriend!" Emily felt her anger elevate.

"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT PAIGE, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HER?"

"Yeah, and if I recall, neither do you! She can be up to no good Emily, I'm just trying to protect you, for all we know she's probably an exact clone of Alison or something." Ouch, that did it.

"SHE Paige, has a name. Her name is Cece, Cece Drake, and she is nothing like Alison, she's different, she's-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard it all when you were practically flirting with her at the Church. But you know what Em, if you can't appreciate what I'm trying to do for you here, maybe we should just…" Paige trailed off, not wanting to finish that sentence.

"Maybe we should just what Paige?" Emily asked. Oh my God, I think I know where this is going.

"MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST BREAK UP!" Paige said, so angry to argue with herself. I can't believe I just said that, I love Emily, but if she wants to get her heart broken by that disgusting little tramp, well, that's her call.

"Is that what you want Paige?" Emily asked in a low weak voice. Perfect, another relationship that went down the drain, today is just not my day.

"Yeah it is, goodbye Emily." Paige declared. As much as she wanted to, there was no way she was going to cry. Not in this situation. Sooner or later Emily will realize she's no good, and we'll be okay, I hope. She knew she would, she just had to. But that didn't make the situation any less heartbreaking. As soon as Paige was walking down the road back to the Church Emily couldn't help but stare. Should I run after her, I never did with Maya, and I should've, and now this one is walking away from me, maybe I should go after her. As much as her mind was telling her she should, her heart told her to stay put. And that's exactly what she did. Emily decided to check her phone to see what time it was. 5;32, dang, it feels like 9.Yet she almost felt like flinging her phone across the street when she was a new text message she hadn't seen before.

Damn Em, another relationship down the drain, I feel for you. I'll leave you bitches alone for a while. See, I'm not completely that cruel.

Love,

~A

~Meanwhile Back At Spencer's Place~

"Wait a second hold up, you mean to tell me Paige, and I mean PAIGE, slapped Cece Drake clear across the face, like a bitch slap?!" Hanna asked as she relaxing on one of Spencer's couches.

"Yeah, I'm surprised Cece didn't tackle Paige and start punching the heck out of her!" Spencer said as she was looking for something to drink in her refrigerator. "Well we got water, orange juice, and sweet tea, pick your poison."

"I'll take some sweet tea, thanks."

"Okay, let me pour it in, so how's was Caleb today?"

"Oh they sent him home, he was making fast progress, I'm pretty sure he'll be on his feet in no time." Hanna said enthusiastically.

"That's great Han; really I'm happy for you."

"Thanks Spence, wow I can just picture Cece and Paige having a throw down at the Church, poor Em being in the middle of things. So she just left after watching Cece getting kicked out unfairly?

"Yeah, but not before giving Paige and her dad a couple of repulsive looks. I swear if looks could kill, she might as well have been throwing daggers.

"You don't think Em has a crush on-"

"No way, Emily and Paige practically love each other, I think." Spencer said. Hanna's phone rang. She ignored whoever was calling and decided to check her Facebook page. She nearly dropped her phone when she barely logged on,.

"Um, Spence, so much for madly in love, Paige just changed her Facebook relationship status to single.

"WHAT?!" Spencer choked, taking Hanna's phone and starring it down like her life depended on it.

"What do you think happened Spence, it must've been a pretty big argument between Emily and Paige for them to break up." Hanna asked, even more confused than Spencer was.

"I don't know Han, but we're going to find out."

~And At Cece's Boutique Shop~

"Thank you very much, have a great day now." Cece Drake said as the last customer made a purchase and walked out the door. Ugh, it's barely 8:55, another 35 minutes left in this place until closing time. Business had been slow that day, mainly because it was Sunday and that little bit of scattered rainfall earlier. Yet the rainfall had increased later on in the day, and it was close to pouring now. I don't get it, everyone in Rosewood has a great relationship, Aria and Ezra, Spencer and Toby, Hanna and Caleb, Emily and Paige, and I'm over here being forever alone in this boutique! And for what cause, to be bitch slapped in the face by someone as insecure as that Paige chick?! But just as she was lost in thought, she saw none other than Emily Fields walking in the door, soaking wet, still in her jogging clothes.

"Hey Cece, I know you probably don't want to talk to me, but can you please listen to me for a sec?"

"Yeah sure Emily, oh and if it wasn't obvious enough you're soaking wet." Cece said with that smile Emily so desperately loved.

"Right," Emily giggled. God she just flashes one smile and I'm already falling flat on my face. "Anyway, I just wanted to apologize for earlier. I knew Paige was wrong, I was just so surprised she got that angry I was speechless, and I shouldn't have just stood around and let her hit you like that." Emily was shaking, she wasn't sure if it was because of how soaking wet she was, or from what Cece was about to say next. She just hoped it would be good.

"It's okay, you weren't the one who slapped me, and you're all soaking wet, so I guess we're good. Here, maybe a little bit of hot chocolate will warm you up a bit," Cece recommended, motioning towards the Employees Only door next to the dressing rooms. Aw, she apologized, she knew who was right and wrong and she took full responsibility when it wasn't hers for the taking. "Coming, Americana?" Cece asked as she saw Emily standing uneasily in front of the cashier counter.

"Um, yeah sorry, I can really use that, it's just I can't feel my legs!" Emily said, a little bit embarrassed but with a chuckle. She was calming down now, but she still couldn't feel her legs.

"Oh c'mon Em, that's ridiculous!" Cece Drake said with another giggle. How much cuter can this girl get? Cece walked towards Emily, tangled her hands in hers, and led her towards the Employee's Only door. Both Emily and Cece had goose bumps and butterflies in one another's stomachs, but were both too shy to say anything.
