Emily's Pov (set two weeks after Hanna moved)
"Hanna.. This is probably my millionth voicemail to you. Please call me. I just want to hear your voice," My raspy voice said. I had been crying for the past two weeks ever since I found out she left. I told Alison that I needed time to think everything out. I pick up the phone and dial her number again. It dialed for about three times, and then straight to voice mail. Every time I hear that dial ring, my hopes gets up for a second then it crumbles down as I get straight to voice mail. I hear a knock on my door, assuming it's mom, I yell at the door saying, "Not now, Mom!"
Another knock and I could just feel my blood boil. I get up and as I reach for the door knob. I yell again, "Mom! I said-" I stopped in the middle of my sentence when I saw Aria.
"Your mom let me in," She said, walking into my room. I close the door behind her and make my way back to my bed with the covers around me.
"What are you doing here?" I said, staring down to my phone in my hands. My empty phone, where it had no call backs or not even a text from Hanna.
"I wanted to see how you were doing."
"Is Spencer still mad at me?" I ask.
"Yes," She said, adding a nod.
I look up to her and ask, "Why aren't you?"
"I am," She says sitting on the edge of my bed, "Why'd you do it, Em?" I knew what she was referring to. Why did I cheat on Hanna, the question I knew I was going to get.
"I don't know," I said, "Ever since Alison came back, I felt like that 15 year old that was in love with her and wanted nothing else but her. Each time I was with Ali, I forgot about everything else."
She crosses her arms and sighs. "Spencer knew I was going to come here to see you. She wanted me to ask if you even loved Hanna,"
"Of course, I loved Hanna" I said without hesitation.
"Do you still love Ali?" She asks.
"I don't know," I say, with my forehead resting against my hand, "I don't know what to say or who to choose. Hanna hates me and I'm not ready to be with anyone right now."
"Have you tried calling her?"
"Non stop for the passed two weeks," I ask. A light bulb flickered in my head and I immediately said, "Call her"
"She hardly answers mine. I would call her and she'd answer but she would always cut conversations short, then hang up," Aria shrugs.
"Yeah, but try again. If she's not going to answer my calls, she'll answer yours" I suggest.
She takes out her phone from her back pocket and dials her number on speaker phone. "Hello?" There it is. The voice I thought I would never hear again. Even though Hanna finally answered the phone but her voice sounded completely shattered. I hurt her so bad that she had probably been crying her eyes out. I know her, so I know it's true.
"Hey, Hanna," Aria said, "Are you busy?"
"No," Hanna sniffles. I was holding back every urge just to talk to Hanna at the moment, because I know she'll just hang up.
"Hanna, when are you coming back?" Aria asks.
"Are you alone?" Hanna asks. Aria looks up to me and I shake my head 'Yes'.
"Yeah," Aria said.
She sighs and says, "I don't think, I'll be coming back for a while, Aria"
"Han, you can't just start a new life there-"
"It's easier being here, then seeing Emily or Alison!" Hanna cuts Aria off, "I loved her, Aria. Then, I saw her sneaking around with Alison from Spencer's window and then I walked in on them with their tongues down each other's throats!" Her words hit me hard. My eyes widen at the fact that Hanna knew about Alison and I before that night. Aria looks up to me and shakes her head at me, disappointed. "What's even worse is that she lied to my face," She loses her voice. "Over and over again.."
"Take all the time you need, Hanna" Aria said, shooting me another glare.
"Hanna! I'm sorry! Please come back," I said. I couldn't hold it in, and it was also dumb for me to say that because that's the only thing I could even think of saying.
"Was that Emily?" She asks.
Aria sighs, "Yes."
"Wow. Bye Aria." And with that she hung up. I run my fingers through the top of my head and bury my face in my hands.
"Em." Aria said sternly, "How long were you cheating on Hanna?"
"Aria please, don't hate me too." I start to feel hot tears run down my cheeks. I look up to her and she takes a deep breathe before wrapping her arms around me for a hug.
"Never," She said.
No Pov (Hanna's side)
As soon as Hanna heard a crash, she was curious. What was that? She walks outside to the drive way with Caleb following behind her, there was a two cars crashed into each other. She knew right away that the silver car that was hit from the back was Aria's. Her heart beats quick as the adrenaline kicked in and her legs took control, and ran closer to the car. Aria looked unconscious and so was the person that sat in the passenger seat. It was Emily. She felt her own heart shatter, "Caleb! Call an ambulance!" She screamed. Emily's forehead was bleeding and Aria's face was against the steering wheel.
"Aria!" She opens the car door and lays Aria back to see her face. Aria's head was bloody but she wasn't unconscious. "Is Emily.. Is she okay.." She says weakly.
"An ambulance is coming, you guys will be okay," Hanna said. Aria nods her head and closes her eyes.
"Keep your eyes open.. Please!" Hanna's broken voice said. Aria slowly opens them again and said, "Check on Emily, Han"
She opens the car door on the other side and has her hands on Emily's face, "Emily?" Her voice was so shattered and broken, she couldn't control the hot tears coming down her eyes. "Emily! Please wake up," She cried softly.
Caleb came to her and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her away and further from the vehicle that contained Aria and Emily. "What are you doing?" She raises her voice. "I need to be by her side," She tries to fight her way out of Caleb's arms but Caleb just held her down. "Caleb!" She yells.
"Hanna! You need to give them space so they can take them to the hospital," He said.
The paramedics came and carried Aria and Emily into the ambulance. Hanna pulls away from Caleb's arms and runs towards the ambulance. The paramedics had Emily and Aria so quick that Hanna couldn't catch up and ride with them. She turns her head back to Caleb. She buries her face inside her hand and cries in it until she felt Caleb's arms around her to let her cry inside his chest softly. "Come on, I'll drive." He said.
Everything feels like it was falling. As she steps foot inside the hospital, running through the white halls, she finds a nurse behind a computer. Her breathing was heavy but she had to force the words out of herself, "Where is she?!" Her body felt heavy, but her head felt so light.
"Where is who?" The woman behind the computer said.
Hanna couldn't speak, her breathing became unsteady and her hands rest on top of her head to breath easier.
"Emily Fields and Aria Montgomery," Caleb said.
"They are in the emergency room, you both will have to wait here for a while until further notice," The woman said.
"You want us to wait?!" Hanna shouts. The frustration of not knowing if Emily or Aria would be okay, hell, alive, was taking over her.
"Han," Caleb said with a soft tone. He turns Hanna to face him and says, "They are going to be alright, okay?" He finds her eyes and it seems to calm her. "We can stay here until we hear back from them, Even if it takes all night."
Warm tears run down her eyes slowly and he pulls her into his arms. She held on tight and lets herself cry into his chest once more.
Emily's Pov
Where am I? The room was white, but blurry because I had just opened it. As my eye vision slowly regains it's vision I noticed where I was. It was a hospital room. I look down and find myself in a blue robe, then I feel something tight on my head. Medical tape. To my right, there's a blond head of hair with her head down, napping on her arms. It was Hanna.
I could just feel myself grin automatically at her. "Hanna," I said, waking her up lightly. She picks her head up and smiles wide. "Hey sleepy head," I say.
"You're up!" Hanna smiles and practically jumps to hug me. I wouldn't mind her holding me tight if I didn't feel my head pulsate.
"Okay, ow," I said and she backs up quick with her hands up.
"Sorry," She says. I smile and laugh softly at her. God, I love her. "The man in the other car was fine and he thinks the whole thing is his fault so he isn't pressing charges, even if Aria and you had alcohol in your systems."
"How's Aria?"
"Just bumps and bruises, but she's fine." She says, before she put on a worried face. "Are you okay? What were you doing in front of my house anyways, Em?" She asks with her hand held in mines, tight.
"I came because.." It's like all the things I wanted to say to her, all erased from my brain. It felt like pressure, suddenly. Do I tell her that I want to her back? Do I start with how much I love her? What. Do. I. Say. First.
She raises both of her eyebrows slowly at me, waiting for a response. So I went out the first thing that came to my head and said, "I missed you."
"Missed me?"
"Yes."
She sits up and loosens the grip of her hand in mines. "Well, I been back for a while now," She shrugs, adding a half smile to it.
"I know that, Han. I just miss you." I say with my thumb circling her hand, "I miss being with you, so much. I miss the way you would always light up when I call you 'babe' or 'baby'. I-"
"Em," She cuts me off, "It's been two years." Her hand slides away from mines and she runs her fingers through her hair.
"I still feel this way about you, no matter what time of day or year it is," I said, "And I know you still do too! When I kissed you, you kissed back and it felt so good. You can't say you don't still have feelings for me."
Hanna's eyes wander around the room and then she finds interest at fidgeting her hands. "You're right, I do." She said and in that moment I felt my heart pick up it's speed until she said, "But, I'm not ready to be with you, Em."
"I'm different, Han. I'm never going to make the same mistakes," I said.
"Emily, I believe we can find our place. Maybe not now, but in the future. For now I just need you as a friend," She said with her eyes locked on mine.
"I don't know if I could handle that," I said with looking away from her.
The calming touch on her hand rested on the side of my face and turned my sight back to her. "Just give it time, okay? We'll find our place again one day," She said with watery eyes.
"What if we don't? What if you fall in love with Caleb all over again?" I ask.
"No matter what happens," She said softly. She leans in and presses her soft warm lips against my cheek. I fall into her gaze but that slowly broke away as she walks away to the door.
"I love you," I said which made her stop her tracks. It felt like it was the only thing I could say. She slowly turned around and I could see the tears was running down her eyes, but she wiped them away quickly.
She forces a smile and said, "I know." And with that she walked out the door.
Two days later, the hospital released Aria and I since our injuries weren't too severe. My mom had came home from Texas as soon as she heard I was in the hospital so she had been taking care of me and checking up on me every two seconds even if I was okay. Right now, I just laid in my bed, while watching tv. However, it was hard to do that when all I could think about was Hanna and how the situation went down in the hospital earlier. Hanna and Spencer came by once in a while also just to check up on me.
There was a knock at my door, and before I could even ask who it was the door opens. "Emily sweetie, you have company," My mom said, stepping aside the doorway to reveal Alison. My mom walks away and Alison walks in, closing the door behind her.
"How are you?" She asks, taking a seat on the computer chair near my bed.
"I'm okay," I said. Looking at her made me feel guilty. She needs to know the truth about how much I love Hanna. "We need to talk-"
"I know," She interrupts me. "Once I heard that you were in the hospital, I came as soon as possible. I walked inside the room you were in and I saw Hanna sitting by your side just waiting for you to wake up. She loves you Em, and I know you still love her too."
"I'm sorry, Ali" I didn't know what else to say.
"I understand, Emily," She said, standing back on her feet.
Emily's Pov
The cold air causes goosebumps to rise from my skin as I out the school to go home. The breeze felt like it was freezing my skin now even though I had a hoodie and my pants on. My legs were sore and so was my back and shoulders from swimming practice. I worked extra hard tonight in practice, not to show off to my team mates or to my coaches when I broke another speed record, but for me. It's like the guilt of kissing back Alison was eating me alive. I turn and walk towards the parking lot in the side of the school, and to my surprise Alison was leaning against my car door.
"Hey," She said.
I stand in front of her. "What are you doing here?"
"I figured that you were going to avoid me from now on, I should come to you by surprise." She said with a mischievous smile. I put on my serious face which made her drop her smile.
"We can't do this, Ali. Especially to Hanna," I said.
She takes a step closer to me. I could take a step back if my brain was working but it feels like my feet was glued to the floor and that I was okay that she was this close to me.
"Emily, don't even try to fight it," She says, "I know you still feel this way too." Her face was suddenly inches away from mine. Our eyes were locked until she looks down to my lips and leans in. She kisses me slowly and gently, causing me to forget everything like the fact I was with Hanna. I melted in her lips and responded with a harder kiss. Her arms circled around my neck with her hands getting tangled in my hair. Without breaking the kiss, I push her against the car door and it was like a whole different me that did this. My lips starts to dominate her neck and my right hand searches for the button on the car keys to unlock the car.
We get inside the back seat and everything happened to quickly. Clothes were being ripped off each other and thrown around in my car.
So sorry for the long wait. In case you're confused in that last flash back, it's continuing where Emily starts to cheat on Hanna in the last chapter. Pretty short chapter, I know. Don't worry, I'll try my hardest to make it up to you guys but exams are coming up soon and so I will do my best to make time for writing!
