Previously on Everyone Loves Em:
Hanna invited Emily over to her house for a movie so they could spend some quality alone time together, but Spencer thought that horror movies were the best things ever and tagged along. Spencer decided Hanna's seat next to Emily looked like a lot more fun and claimed it as her own. In response, Hanna showed her heroic nature by steadfastly staying by Spencer and Emily's side at the pool to protect them from A's fake text. Spencer showed her appreciation by swooping in and buying Emily a beautiful black dress. Not to be outdone, Hanna invited herself to Emily's golf lesson and made out with Emily's cheek. Meanwhile, Detective Emily came to the conclusion that Spencer and Hanna must be really good study buddies. And Aria made it clear that she was going to get Em some lady love.
Ch. 8. The View from Here
Hanna's POV – Across the street from Rear Window Brew
Who is Emily meeting? That's all I can think about. When I asked Em if she wanted to hang out after school, she said she was meeting a 'friend.' What the hell was supposed to mean? Like I'm not good enough to meet this friend.
The only thing I can think of is that she's got a date. So I figure it's my duty to hide behind this blue minivan and see who's she's secretly dating.
So far Emily's been sitting alone outside on the patio of the Brew for a few minutes. She's checked her phone a few times. Maybe she got stood up. Does it make me a bad person if that makes me happy?
Suddenly I feel a tap on my shoulder and I nearly jump out of my shoes. I turn around and it's Spencer.
"Spencer, what the hell?" I squeak.
"What are you doing skulking around behind this minivan?" Spencer questions.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm spying on Emily, duh. Are you stalking me?"
"Of course not. I was going to the Brew for some coffee. More importantly why are you spying on Emily?"
"Because she's secretly dating someone and I want to find out who?"
"Wait, Emily's dating someone? How come she didn't tell me?" Spencer demands, the shock showing in her voice.
"She didn't tell any of us. But I'm gonna find out. Well, I will find out as long as you stop standing there all tall and out in the open," I growl.
"Oh sorry," Spencer apologizes before ducking low and sneaking in beside me behind the blue minivan. "How long have you been here Han?"
"About 5 minutes. So far Em's checked her phone a couple times, but nothing else."
"Why do you think she's hiding this from us?" Spencer wonders out loud.
"No clue. Maybe it's someone we know and she's embarrassed?" I offer.
"Are you sure she's dating this person?"
"Why else would she not want me to meet them? I asked Em if she wanted to hang out after school and she said she couldn't because she was already meeting up with a friend. When I asked her who, she said it was an old friend from her girls scout days. If that doesn't mean gay friend, I don't what does."
"Wait, just because Emily was in girl scouts with this friend, doesn't necessarily mean this friend is gay and that they're dating," Spencer argues.
"Of course it doesn't, but what else would you 'reduce' from that?"
"That's 'deduce,' Hanna," Spencer corrects me.
"Whatever, you know what I mean."
"Wait, Emily's getting up and she's waving at someone," Spencer says excitedly.
"Who's she waving at?" I ask.
"That short dark haired girl."
"You mean the one that looks like Aria?"
"That is Aria!" Spencer cries.
"Why is she secretly meeting up with Aria, and why is Aria handing Emily a red rose? Holy crap! Aria and Emily are dating!" I shout, before covering my mouth with my hands.
"No way. This is just a misunderstanding," Spencer says, shaking her head.
"A misunderstanding? Aria just gave Emily the longest hug in the world and a single red rose. What else could it be? Are they trying to break the Guinness World Record for world's longest girl on girl hug?"
"Hold on, let's just watch a little longer. Maybe we're jumping the gun."
"Screw this, I'm going over there right now," I growl.
Spencer stops me by grabbing my arm.
"Hanna, settle down. If you go over there right now, we'll never find out what's really going on. You'll just spook them."
"Fine, then I'll text Em and you text Aria. Let's ask them what they're doing right now."
"That's actually not a bad idea," Spencer agrees.
"Thanks, I thought of it all by myself. Now text already."
I pull out my phone and send a quick text to Emily asking what she's doing. Spencer does the same only she sends her text to Aria.
We watch as both girls check their phones.
A few seconds later we both get a text back. I whisper the text I get from Emily to Spencer.
"Busy with my friend from girl scouts. Talk later. - Em. What does Aria's say?"
"Busy at Ezra's. Talk later. - Aria," Spencer whispers back.
"I can't believe they're both lying to us," I cry.
"I can't believe Ezra's a big old beard," Spencer says with disgust.
A/N: A completely different take on chapter 7. Turns out Hanna's and Spencer's jealousy knows no bounds. What did everyone think? And yes my recap 'Previously on Everyone Loves Em' was not entirely serious. Loving the feedback everyone! Please keep it coming!
