Emily's POV-
I can't believe I just saw Paige and another chick kiss. It made me jealous when I saw that. Paige was talking to that chick and then they kissed, but Paige didn't see me I was on the other of the street. My feelings for Paige are coming back stronger what should I do. I'm still with Kaitlin but she has changed and I didn't tell anyone. Because she kept on saying she will change, I want to kiss Paige again and hold her hand.
I'm talking with Hanna, Aria and Spencer. They are telling me that Paige; name her daughter Emilia because she never stopped thinking of me. And I don't believe them I said she must have got the name from book or somewhere else.
''Why you don't believe us? Paige did name her daughter after you. The only thing to change in Emilia name is just take the 'I' and the 'A' away.'' Hanna said.
''Yeah, I agree with Hanna. The proof is right there I think she still has feelings for you. Or I can be wrong.'' Spencer said.
"Paige, has moved on and so did I." I said. I'm my feelings for Paige is coming back. I don't know what to do.
"Emily, are you still in love with Paige?" Aria asked.
I never stopped loving Paige, and I just pushed my feelings away. It was hard and I was hurt when Paige just left without saying goodbye.
"I have to go Kaitlin is waiting for me." I said.
"Don't leave; Emily was it because I asked if you are still in love with her." Aria asked.
"I think you are still in love with her. Because you haven't asked us to go help you pick a dress or anything else. When someone says Paige's name your eyes open up wide." Hanna said.
"You don't know what you are talking about." I said and I leave the brew.
I go home and I think Hanna is right. I'm still in love with Paige and with Kaitlin everything has changed. Now I'm starting to question my feelings for Kaitlin I think I will go visit my dad.
"Hey dad, how are you feeling?" I asked we are sitting in the front porch.
"Just came from the doctor's appointment. So far I'm doing well with my heart by eating right. Are you okay Emmy you seem sad." My dad asked.
"I'm glad you are doing great. Dad I think I'm still in love with Paige my ex-girlfriend my old feelings for her are coming back." I said.
"What about Kaitlin, how do you feel about her?" He said.
"Dad, I don't know everything has changed. I haven't seen or heard from Paige since she left four years ago. When Paige came back I wanted to hold and never let her go. But with Kaitlin I don't know what to do I don't see myself getting married with her." I said.
"Emmy, I want to see you happy. If you want to be with Paige then go tell her how you feel. Then tell Kaitlin you don't want to be with her no more. You have to make yourself happy before you want to make another person happy." My dad said. I didn't want to tell him that Kaitlin abuse me, don't want his heart rate to go up.
"Dad, what happens if Paige doesn't have feelings for me no more." I said.
"You will never know if you don't tell her." My dad said.
Next day-
Kaitlin is telling me that Paige has threatened her. Now she is telling not to go around Paige or her kids. I'm telling her will Paige will never do that. But she doesn't believe me
"Emily, don't go around her no more." Kaitlin said.
"She is my friend I just can't do. I know Paige she will never do that." I said.
"What the hell Emily, why won't you listen to me!" Kaitlin yelled and grabs my right forearm really tight.
"Let go you are hurting me." I said trying to get away.
"Emily, you are making me hurt you. Just listen and this would have not happen." Kaitlin said. With anger she said squeezing my forearm even tighter.
I leave the apartment and I go to Paige's house so we can talk. Paige opens the door and we go inside her parents went to the park with the kids.
"Why did you threaten Kaitlin?" I asked.
"You can't be serious; she is not good for you. Two times she told me to stay away from you.." Paige said. And I didn't let her finish.
"How would you know? Paige four years went by we both changed a lot. You can't tell me what's good for me." I said.
"You are right we both changed a lot. You still don't trust me tell me the truth Emily." Paige said.
"Paige, I want us to be friends again. I want to trust you again I really do." I said.
"Wow four years, and you still don't trust me." Paige said.
"Why do you still have anger towards Ali? You have to let it go..." I said and Paige didn't let me finish.
"No! I will never forgive Alison she has done nothing to ask forgiveness. Have you ask the other people she has fucking torture did they forgive her. I'm still mad at you when you always lied to me about A." Paige said with anger.
"I did it to protect you; I didn't want you to get hurt." I said.
"Really Emily, I was worried about you. I felt I couldn't do anything to help you but you never told me. Spencer trust Toby and yet he helped. Caleb helped also both of them helped you and your friends. And you were okay with that. That hurt me so much that I couldn't help you because you didn't trust me. Am I wrong?" Paige said.
"How did you know that they helped?" I said.
"Caleb told me, two weeks before I left to California." Paige said.
"Why, you didn't tell me he told you." I said.
"What for, you never told me what was going on. Emily I will always care for you but back then I questioned myself if I was good enough for you." Paige said.
"Paige, don't say that. You are good for me and I'm sorry I had to lie it hurt me too. When we found out Jason was A we were hurt. Paige, when you left without saying goodbye I really thought you were never coming back. Paige I missed you so much that I don't want you ever to leave me again." I said.
"Emily, I know you been through so much. But I'm not here how to tell you how to live your life. But I don't like seeing you get hurt. Why do you have a bruise on your arm?" Paige said holding my arm.
''Paige, is nothing don't worry." I said.
"Emily, did Kaitlin hurt you? You can't let her do this to you. Please don't lie Emily to me, let me help you." Paige pleads.
"Kaitlin, told me never to see you again. I don't want to be with her no more." I said crying. Paige pulls me into a hug holding me.
"Emily, you have to get out of the relationship." Paige said. I break from the hug.
"I will tell her I'm going to tell her tonight." I said.
''I don't want you to go alone. I will go with you..".
"Paige, I have to do it alone. I will call you if anything goes wrong okay." I said.
Later that night-
I'm waiting from Kaitlin to come home. Because I have to stand for myself my heart is beating fast. Finally Kaitlin comes home and I will tell her. Kaitlin tries to kiss me but I move away.
''Emily, what is going on?'' She asked.
''Kaitlin we need to talk, I don't know what has happened to you but in these last few days. And you've been acting so aggressive and I don't Think I can't handle it I want to break up with you.'' I said.
''You can't break up with me. Don't you see Paige is trying to break us apart.'' Kaitlin said.
''Paige, is didn't break us up. You did it not her, you have changed so much for the worst and I don't like it. I don't love you anymore and I don't want…'' Kaitlin didn't let me fusing I feel a smack on my cheek.
''You are not breaking up with me!'' Kaitlin yelled
''No! You won't tell me what do anymore.'' I yelled back. I pushed her back and I run to the bathroom and I lock the door. I send a text to Paige.
To Paige: Paige, come over I need your help!
From Paige: Tell me where you are.
To Paige: Please hurry
I text Paige my address hoping she will come fast. Kaitlin keeps banging on the door and yelling. I start to cry I move away from the door.
''Hey! I told you not to hurt her.'' I heard Paige's voice. I slowly open the door and I see Kaitlin yelling at Paige. I get out of the bathroom.
''What are you going to do hit me? Come on big shot hit me let's what you got.'' Kaitlin said.
''Calm down, we don't have to fight.'' Paige said. I'm just standing here watching them.
''You made Emily break up with me.'' Kaitlin yelled.
Kaitlin go and tries to punch Paige. But Paige punches Kaitlin in the jaw and I'm yelling trying to make them stop. Kaitlin tackles Paige on the floor trying to punch Paige's face. But Paige is blocking her punches I go get Kaitlin pushing her of Paige. Kaitlin falls on her back I help Paige get up, but she tells to move away so I won't get hurt. I didn't see Kaitlin grab a glass cup hitting Paige on the side of her face. Paige falls on the floor yelling in pain.
''Fuck! It hurts.'' Paige said having both of her hands on her face. I punch Kaitlin in the jaw.
''Leave right now, before the cops arrest you or I will hit you again until you blackout." I said in anger.
''This isn't over.'' Kaitlin leaves the apartment. I go run over to Paige pulling her close to me.
''Paige, it's me can you open your eyes.'' I said moving her hair from her face.
''Everything is blur, I have to protect you from her.'' Paige said trying to get up.
''Paige, I'm so sorry you got hurt.'' I said crying.
''Emily, don't be sorry I will protect even if means getting hit by a glass cup.'' Paige said trying to open her eyes wide.
''You got small cuts around your eyebrow and cheek.'' I said.
''It hurts like hell.'' Paige said finally has her eyes open. I go get the first aid kit and I start to clean her cuts.
''Paige, I want to stay with you tonight.'' I said Paige. Slowly gets up now we are face to face.
''Are you sure I can take to your parent's house.'' Paige said.
''I want to be with you. Paige, I don't want to be anywhere else.'' I said. I hold Paige tight and I feel her arms around me. My face buries into her neck. I kiss Paige on her cheek we stare at each other. I slowly move and kiss Paige on the lips. Paige kisses me back our tongues are touching each other. I missed her lips and her touch. We break from the kiss.
''We should get going. It doesn't feel right now I'm sorry'' Paige said without looking at my eyes.
''No, I'm sorry for kissing you. I will go pack my stuff.'' I said. I get up from the floor and I help Paige get up.
When I get done packing my stuff I drive us to her house. We try to be quiet slowly we are going to her room. I put my bags by the closet Paige goes lies down on the bed.
''Paige, does your head hurt?'' I asked sitting next to her.
''Little bit I will just sleep it off.'' Paige said. I change my clothes and I go lie on the bed.
''Paige, where did you get the name Emilia?'' I asked.
''Charlie, had a cousin named Emilia and I liked that name.'' Paige said.
''Oh okay, I was just curious about it. Did you name Johnny after your idol Johnny Cash?'' I asked Paige loves Johnny Cash songs and his style.
''Yeah I did him that because of my idol. You still remember I thought you didn't like Johnny Cash.'' Paige said smiling at me.
''Of course I remember that he is your idol. I know your favorite most two songs from Johnny Cash is I won't back down and Ballad of a teenage queen. But those songs got stuck in my head.'' I said.
''How are you feeling? You can move closer. You act we never slept on the same bed.'' Paige said we are both facing each other.
''I'm still in shock of what happen tonight. Thank you for helping me tonight, I don't what would have happened if you didn't came.'' I said.
''Emily, I know you don't trust me but I will defended you in way.'' Paige said with a small smile.
''Paige, after you just did I trust you again. I be an idiot not trust you again. I'm sorry Paige for everything and lying to you when we were dating.'' I said. We move closer to each other and we go to sleep.
Next day-
I'm still sleeping but not fully I just have my eyes closed. And I hear Paige talking but I won't wake up I want to her what she is saying.
''Emily, I lied about Charlie having a cousin named Emilia. To be honest I never stopped thinking about you I saw the name in a baby book of names. I saw your name and I remember the good times we had. Well I named her Emilia because it was similar to your name and I know makes me look pathetic. But I never stopped loving you. I dated other people but it wasn't the same I tried so much to get over you. But I couldn't because you were the sun and moon to me I'll never get over you. I left to California because I thought to myself you weren't going to love me again and never trust me again. So I left because so I wouldn't hear you say those words to me. I know should be saying this face to face for you to hear me. But I can't because I'm scared what you will say it's easier to tell you this because you are sleeping. And I don't want to repeat this again I'm sorry. I still love you but I see you already moved on and you don't have feelings for me anymore. I don't know if the kiss was just in the moment or what but I won't hold you back no more.'' Paige said.
I hear her crying. I start to cry she can't see me cry. Because my back is facing her I still hear her crying but I don't move or say anything to her. I never thought Paige will feel like this. I love Paige so much and I'm sorry for hurting you. I will prove to Paige I'm still in love with her and I want her back.
I wake up and I see Paige's arm around my waist and our legs tangled together. I miss this Paige and me holding each other when we sleep. Paige is still sleeping I look at her and she looks peaceful. Then Johnny and Emilia come into the room getting on the bed.
''Was mommy, scare of the dark?'' Emilia asked me.
''Yes she was, I was holding her so she won't be scare.'' I said.
''Mommy, wake up I want to eat cookies.'' Johnny said moving Paige's arm.
''Johnny, you will cookies later, hey Emily how did you sleep?'' Paige said looking at me. While Johnny is still on top of Paige and Emilia is playing with my hair.
''I slept well, looks like they are hungry. What are we going to eat?'' I said and I start to play with Emilia.
''Mommy, what happen?'' Johnny asked touching Paige's cuts on her face.
''Who wants blueberry pancakes?'' Paige asked.
''I like pancakes.'' Johnny said.
''I'm in the mood for pancakes.'' I said.
We all go down stairs I sit down with kids while Paige starts cooking. Emilia starts playing with my hair again and Johnny just look at us.
''What kind of cookies you like Johnny.'' I asked him.
''I like sugar cookies taste really good.'' Johnny said with a smile.
''I forgot today I have a doctor's appointments with Emilia this afternoon.'' Paige said. Paige puts the plates on the table and we start to eat.
''Do you want me to watch Johnny?'' I asked.
''I hope Johnny will behave good this time.'' Paige said looking at Johnny.
When we get done Paige and I get ready and I help Paige to dress the kids. Paige and Emilia go to the doctor and I take Johnny to the ice cream shop.
''I can't see.'' Johnny said. Johnny jumps up and down trying to look at ice cream flavors.
''Johnny, come here I will pick you up. And you will pick which one you like.'' I said. Johnny smiles at me and gets closer to me.
''Can I pick two? Please I will be nice.'' Johnny said giving me the puppy eyes.
''Are you going to eat it all?'' I asked him.
''Yes! I will can I get sprinkles?'' Johnny asked.
''Yes, you can get sprinkles.'' I said with smile. I pick up Johnny and he warps his arms around my neck.
''Johnny, pick which you one you like.'' I said holding him.
''It's hard to pick, I like the colors. I want purple-green.'' Johnny said and points the one he wants.
''Okay, let me get rock 'N pop swirl sherbet and sprinkles in a cup. And I will get icing on the cake ice cream in a cup also.'' I said.
''Thank you, you the best.'' Johnny said and he kissed my cheek.
I pay for the ice cream and we go sit down. Johnny starts eating the ice cream fast and gets his shirt messy.
''Hey beautiful, want to go out get dinner tonight?" strange guy said.
''No I don't, I'm gay you can leave.'' I said.
''Why not we will have a…ouch control your son he kicked.'' He said and he leaves.
''Johnny, why did you kick him? You can't do that.'' I said.
''He was going to take our ice cream. I'm in trouble?'' Johnny said.
''No, sweetie you are not in trouble. But don't do it again okay.'' I said.
Paige's POV-
What I said to Emily while she was sleeping I had to say out loud. I couldn't hold it no more and it was easier for me. And I really don't to repeat those words again one time is enough. Emily and Johnny come home and he looks really happy, he told Emily bought him ice cream.
''Did you behave good with Emily?'' I asked Johnny.
''Yes, I did I'm not bad today.'' Johnny said and I give him kiss on his forehead.
''We should go swimming, to get out of the house for a bit.'' Emily said.
''That's good idea we should.'' I said.
''I want to go swimming.'' Emilia said.
''Me too let's go.'' Johnny said.
We get ready to go swimming and I pack of what we will need. We got to Sloom Lake where Emily and I used to go. We are at the lake and Emily and I get the kids out of the car. I take out the blanket and now we are all in our swim suits and I lay the blanket on the ground. I see Emily and Kids playing in the water. They are laughing and splashing water at each other and I sit down Emily is great with them.
I see Emily showing them how to swim step by step. When Emily kissed me it felt like a part of me wasn't missing no more. It felt like the first kiss we had that night when I said it out loud that I'm gay. Emily always felt like home for me when we were together like that song Ahh, Home Let me come Home; Home is wherever I'm with you. I don't think I could ever love someone else like I loved Emily. They get out of the water and they come next to me.
''Having fun?'' I asked them.
''Yeah, she should how to swim like a nemo.'' Emilia said. They sit down.
''Did you show them how to swim?'' Emily asked.
''No, I didn't show them.'' I said.
''Why not, they love the water just like you.'' Emily said.
''They do love the water, but I just haven't go around to show them. We did go to the beach they just like to play in the water.'' I said.
''Johnny and Emilia, do you want to hear a funny story?'' Emily asked they nod their heads saying yes.
''Your mommy, always lose to me in swimming to me. And acts like a baby.'' Emily said.
''Wow, really Emily you are going to lie to them. I always won and you can't beat me.'' I said.
''Mommy, is funny when she lose.'' Johnny said Emily and I laugh.
''Is that true, tell me how she acts.'' Emily said.
''Mommy, say no again let's do it again.'' Emilia said acting like me. I just laugh of how she does it.
''Let's have a swim race.'' Johnny said.
''That's a good idea Johnny, so you can see Emily lose.'' I said.
''Very funny Paige, let's do it right now then.'' Emily said.
The four of us go to the water. Johnny and Emilia stand in the water but close to the shore. Emily explains the rules of the race and they will tell us who won.
We get under water and we start swimming fast. I missed swimming against with Emily. I swim back to shore I get up and I don't see Emily, then I feel her arms wrapped around my waist. And she dunks me in the water I go up for air fast. Emily and the kids are laughing and I act mad but I'm not really mad.
''Why, did you do that for?'' I said folding my arms turning my back on her.
''I'm sorry please don't be mad.'' Emily said. She puts her arms around my back and her chin on my shoulder. Then Johnny and Emilia hug Emily and me.
''Am I forgiven?'' Emily said kissing my shoulder its sends shivers to my body.
We played more in the water then we pack our stuff and go home. Once we are home I give Johnny and Emilia SpongeBob and Kid Cuisine food. While they are eating they are watching cartoons Emily and I sit on the sofa. Emily puts her head on my shoulder. Then I hear my phone ringing and I go pick it up.
''Hello, Who is this?'' I asked.
''Hi I'm looking for Paige McCullers is she there?'' The guy asked.
''Who is looking for her?'' I asked.
''My name is Ross Jackson and I'm a lawyer for David Maurizio. And he is taking you to court for the custody of your kids.'' Ross said.
''No this can't be true, why he is going to take my kids away?'' I asked my heart is beating fast.
''Charlie is in a coma, and you won't be fit to care of your kids. Mr. David will get full custody.'' Ross said.
''You listen to me now; no one will ever take my kids away. And you can tell him I will see him in court and also tell him go fuck himself.'' I hang up. David is Charlie brother the one who is a drug dealer. I don't know what the hell he is trying do but he won't win. I start to cry then Emily comes and sees me crying.
''Paige, why are you crying?'' Emily asked.
''Charlie's brother wants full custody of my kids. And he won't take my kids away.'' I said crying.
''Paige, he won't win okay. We have to go tell Spencer now.'' Emily said.
