I OWN NOTHING! (Although, I wish I did...)


The first week without Spencer was miserable. I didn't know what to do, and neither did Hanna or Aria. We all hung out at The Brew but we didn't talk much. It wasn't fun without Spencer. Part of Spencer's suspension was, she wasn't allowed to have contact with any of the students at Rosewood. She could only email her teachers about homework. I was so pissed at that Paige girl. I didn't know much about the whole thing with Spencer and Mona, but Aria told me that it was a sensitive subject.

"Hey Emily." Hanna greeted me as she sat down at the dinner table.

"Hey, what's up? And where's Aria?" I asked, looking around for the short brunette.

"Oh, she stopped by Fitz's room to "talk about homework". As for what's up, I'm pissed off that Spencer isn't here to help me with my French." She said, rolling her eyes and sighing heavily.

"Only one more week. We can make it." I tried to assure her, but I wasn't completely sure myself.

"How is it, living alone in your dorm?" Hanna asked.

"Lonely as hell. Spencer's things are just sitting there. I hate it." I replied.

"Hey, you can bunk with Aria and I. You can share one of our beds." Hanna offered. I have to admit, it was tempting, but I couldn't leave Spencer's things there. Even though she wasn't there, I could feel her presence.

"No thanks. I'll stay in my room. I sleep better alone." I said, making up an excuse.

"Okay…The offer still stands. If you change your mind, come on over." Hanna truly was an amazing friend.

"Thank you so much, Hanna. Hey, I have a lot of homework but I'll see you later." I said, getting up and heading towards my dorm.

When I got there, I threw my bag by the door and kicked off my shoes. I plopped down on the bed and opened my laptop.

One new email.

I clicked on the email icon and scrolled to the new one in my inbox. When I saw who it was from, my heart began to pound.

New message: Spencer Hastings.

"Oh my god." I muttered to myself as I clicked the message.

Emily,

I know I can get into trouble by contacting you, but I couldn't help it. I needed to talk to you. I'm so sorry for getting into that fight with Paige. It was so stupid of me. Anyway, I have something to tell you. I've been wracking my brain all week, trying to find a way to tell you this…When I first met you, I thought you were pretty cool. Then we started going everywhere together and I really liked hanging out with you. Then, I started to notice this…feeling in my stomach every time you smiled. I passed it off as nothing but it kept happening. I know we haven't known each other for very long at all, but I needed to tell you that…I think I'm falling for you, Emily Fields. And it is scary as hell. Last time I loved someone, things went horribly wrong. I'm sorry if I just ruined everything with this giant bomb. I completely understand if you never want to talk to me again. I'll see you in a week…hopefully.

Sincerely,

Spencer H.

I had to reread the email a couple of times before I could process anything that I had read. Spencer Hastings was falling in love with me. I clicked the 'compose' button and selected Spencer's email from my contact list.

Spencer,

I'm so glad to hear from you! It's okay that you and Paige got into a fight. I think Paige deserved it. About what you said…I really think we should talk about that in person. I do want you to know, however, that I think I have feelings for you as well. I'll see you in a week, Spence.

Love,

Emily.

I hit send and closed my laptop. I didn't know what else to do so I did my homework and went to bed early.

The next morning, I checked my email and I didn't have anything from Spencer, so I grabbed phone and headed to the mess hall for breakfast.

"Hey guys. How did you sleep?" I asked when I sat down at the table.

"Like a baby." Hanna said with a sleepy smile.

"Pretty good." Aria replied.

"What are your plans for this afternoon?" I wondered.

"Ezra wanted me to stop by his room for a while. What about you?" Aria asked me.

"I don't know. I was thinking about going to The Brew to study for exams next week. Han, you wanna come?" I asked, turning to her.

"Sure, I got nothing better to do." Hanna agreed, shrugging her shoulders.

"Alright, cool. I'll head over there around 11:30." I said.

"Okay, I'm gonna go to the dorm and change. I'll stop by yours in a bit, okay Em?" Hanna asked.

"Yes, that's fine. See you then." I said, as Hanna got up and walked out of the mess hall.

"I think I'm gonna go see Ezra. See you later, Em." Aria mentioned as she got up and threw away her trash.

"Okay, I'll see you later Ar." I waved at her and headed towards my dorm.

I got to the door and unlocked it. When I opened the door, I almost jumped out of my skin.

"Surprise!" Spencer was standing in the middle of the room with her arms in the air.

"Oh my god, Spencer!" I exclaimed and rushed over to her, throwing my arms around her neck.

"Hey you." Spencer said into my hair, squeezing me back just as hard.

"What are you doing here?!" I asked her, shocked.

"They let my suspension up early because of exams next week." Spencer explained with a grin.

"I missed you so much!" I said, hugging her so tight she had to push me away slightly so she could breathe.

"I missed you too, Em. It was so hard not seeing you." Spencer said.

"We need to talk, though. About your email." I said, giving her a pointed look.

"Oh yeah, that." Spencer said looking down.

"Hey, Spencer, look at me. " I coaxed, lifting her chin to meet my eyes. "I really want to do this. But if we're going to do this, we need to do it right." I said seriously.

"Emily, are you being serious?" Spencer asked hesitantly.

"One hundred percent. I know this is fast, but we have something. We just need to take this slow, if we want this to work." I said.

"Okay, that sounds perfect. I just have one question." Spencer mentioned.

"And what is that?" I wondered.

"Can I take you on a date tonight?" Spencer asked. I swooned.

"Absolutely! That sounds wonderful!" I exclaimed.

"Okay, great! One more question?" She hesitated.

"Of course. You can ask me anything." I said.

"Does taking it slow mean that a kiss is out of the question?" She seemed hesitant.

"Hmm…Not if it's a slow kiss." I said leaning forward a little bit.

"Oh, it'll be slow." Spencer said, leaning in the rest of the way.

Our lips met and it was the best feeling ever felt. I brought my hand up to cup her cheek. She stepped closer to me until we were pressed against each other. The kiss lasted for a few moments until someone interrupted us.

"Hey Em, are you ready to g—What the hell?!"


A/N: Did you guys like it? Sorry for the cliff hanger but you'll have to be patient! I'll try to have the next one up soon!
