"Holy shit" Emily kept saying to herself as she ran home as fast as she could. She couldn't even believe what she saw, Aria and Spencer..kissing, saying they love each other. She knew Spencer liked Aria, but oh my god Aria felt the same way, all Emily could think was how lucky Spencer was, and how jealous she was that she couldn't be lucky enough to have Ali love her back.
(Back to Spencer's POV)
"Aria?" I looked at Aria, wide eyed, smiling, happy.
"Yeah" Aria looked at me, her big beautiful eyes, shimmering. she laced her fingers into mine, and smiled at me, we were laying on my bed together, just looking into each other's eyes, happier than ever.
"You're not still with Ezra right?" I asked, kind of worried of the answer. She hadn't talked about him in awhile, I heard they broke up because of Jackie, Ezra's ex, but I want to be sure.
"Spence.." Aria rubbed her hand against my cheek "You're the only one for me, nobody else I promise"
"And you are the only one for me too" I pulled her down, so she was laying on top of me, our lips came together, and once again the wonderful fireworks, but this time her lips tasted of strawberries. We rolled around on my bed kissing, her hands on my cheeks and in my hair, mine on her hips and then her thighs. Soon my shirt was on the floor and her dress was to, but we decided not to go any further.
The next day, I was sitting on my bed, thinking about Aria, finding it harder than ever to do my homework, I could not seem to concentrate. Then my phone started to ring,
"hey Em" I answered the phone,
"I saw you" there was a long pause "Aria and you kissing and well saying lovey dovey shit"
"Oh" I didn't really know what to say "Umm.. ok, well.. wait that was in my house where were you?"
"I came to see you, you told Hanna that you needed to talk to me, and well I was going to comfort you, I thought you were sad about Aria, I was wrong"
"yeah, I am not sad.. I'm really happy actually." I couldn't help but smile thinking about Aria.
"I just wanted you to know that well I saw, and well... I know you guys are like together now"
"Ok Em, I mean like we aren't hiding anything" I said "We don't care who knows"
"Oh ok, that's great" Then Emily hung-up
Later that day I was sitting on Hanna's bed, with Emily, Aria and Hanna.
"So" Aria intertwined our fingers, and we both smiled at each other. Emily was laying on the floor, she was in some strange mood, and Hanna was texting Caleb ignoring all of us.
"Hanna?" I tapped her shoulder, "Me and Aria have something to tell you"
"Cool" Hanna turned around
"We are.. um, like a we" I smiled, knowing what I had said was confusing.
"Huh" Hanna tilted her head to the side
"Hanna" Aria smiled " We are, you know" but Hanna still didn't get it.
"They are dating" Emily sounded really annoyed
"Wait you guys are like gay.. like Em?" Hanna asked
"No" I said " We are bi, which means we like both guys and girls"
"Yeah" Aria chimed in
"Ok" Hanna smiled " Is Spence a good kisser?"
"Oh my god, Hanna"
"The best" Aria laughed
"How about Aria?" Hanna laughed
"Even better" I smiled
"Great" Emily got up "Everyone is happy but me now"
"Em" Hanna held her hand "You ok?"
"No, I'm not cause the one person I have ever loved is dead, fucking dead" Everyone looked around..uncomfortable.
"Em come with me" I got up and led Emily to the hallway, closing the door behind us.
"I'm sorry that Ali is gone, but your kind of being a jerk"
"Oh, I'm so sorry but I don't really care"
"Telling Hanna meant a lot to us, and you made it all about you, Ali died a long time ago Em, move on"
"You wouldn't be saying that if it was Aria who died, and you felt all empty and broken inside like I do"
"I'm sorry I said that.. but Ali was mean to you just like the rest of us, why do you even love her"
"She loved me, she was beautiful and sweet, she had a hard life and yeah that made her act mean, but if you really looked deeper you would see the real Ali, the one I love. She was nice, and so smart, she really loved us, she cared. I don't get how after all these years you guys never saw the amazing Ali I did, how all you seem to remember is the mean stuff. I know you remember it, the good times, when we would just hangout and be us, when Ali was herself, and when she showed us her good side, don't act like you just somehow forgot, cause I didn't"
"Ali's life wasn't as hard as you think it was" Em then left, leaving me in the hall, with only memories of Ali, and all the good times.
