Emily POV
Shit ! My head is just too dizzy . I look around and found myself in Spencer's barn . I wake up from the bed and quickly remember what happened last night . A happen , damn ! I go to bathroom , wash my face and head to the kitchen . I found my friends were having a breakfast .
"Where is Paige ? I thought she sleep here last night ? I asked
"She is but her father call her early in the morning , asking her to come home ." Hanna answered
"Hey , Em . How are you feeling ?" Spencer asked when I sit beside her
"Dizzy , headache but mostly angry ." I said . "If only Paige is not there to safe me last night , maybe you all will be attending my funeral today ." I said sarcastically
"Em , don't make joke like that . It's not funny , it's opposite of funny ." Aria look at me
"I'm not joking . I almost got killed last night . And this is not my first time being on top of A target list ." I replied . "Can you please pour me a cup of coffee , Hanna ?" I asked weakly .
"Spencer do you have any charger ? My phone died last night ." I asked . Spencer handed me her charger . I make my way to the nearby wall socket . I plug the charger into the wall socket and switch on my phone .
"11 missed call and 2 messages from Paige . She want me to call her back , 'we need to talk' ." I sigh . "And 1 message from .. Oh my god , it's from blocked number . I was supposed to receive it last night but my battery died ." I said and all my friends now staring at me
"What is the message ?" Spencer asked
"You are so lucky tonight but you better ask your lovely girlfriend stay out of our business , Em ... before she gets hurt . - A" I read the message . I sit down next to Spencer . My head feel dizzy even more
"Em , calm down . You haven't eat something since last night . You should eat something . We will figure out what to do but you have to eat first ." Spencer said worried
"I think I just lost my apetite . Thanks to A ." I answered sarcastically
"About Paige , have you told her about A before this ? Because last night she demands some answer from us ." Aria asked
"I told her that A have been harassing us by sending text since a long time ago but I never told her that A is capable of killing people . Did you all tell her about A ?" I asked back
"We didn't but we think she getting suspicious after what happened last night ." Hanna said
"Maybe it's time for you to tell Paige ." Aria said
"Yeah Em . Paige have a right to know about this . She is your girlfriend now ." Spencer agreed
"I can't .." I sigh and handed over my phone to them
"I hear you already found someone to replace Maya , Em . Let's count how many days she will be your girlfriend before she ended up like Maya or .. Alison . But you know you always have me . - A ." Spencer read it
"I'm afraid that if I told Paige , she will be in danger ." I said weakly
"When did A sent you this text ? Why you didn't tell us ?" Aria asked
"Last week . I don't want to burden you . You all have your own problem ." I answered
"Em , next time you have to tell us . This is not something you can handle alone . We are in this together ." Spencer said and I just nodded
"Do you all notice or is it just me that A always try to ruin Emily's relationship with anyone who be Emily's girlfriend ? First Maya then Paige . Is A are lesbian who jealous with anyone who hooked up with Emily ?" Hanna asked half-dumb question . I just glared at her
"Han , A try to ruin all of our relationship . My relationship with Ezra . Spencer relationship with Toby and your relationship with Caleb too ." Aria answered sarcastically
"Whatever it is Em , you have to tell Paige so she could watch her back . And after saw Toby reaction when I told him about A , Paige will be so angry if you hide it from her for too long ." Spencer give me advice
"I agreed with Spencer . Keeping secrets only make you guys separate from each other . A capable of doing anything . A told my mom about my dad affair with Meredith and almost make Ezra and me got busted ." Aria said
"Yeah Toby accident also was A's plan . And I saw A not hesitated to push Ian off from the bell tower . A make it looks so easy to kill people ." Spencer added
"I had the worst . A knows about my mother unauthorized loan . A hit me and I have to spend two weeks in hospital . A fly to Montecito just to hurt Caleb's mother and not to forget , A set us up about that stupid shovel thing and we spend a months in orange jumpsuit , picking cans and do community services ." Hanna said sarcastically
"A almost kill me when we try to trap him/her/it or whatever at the greenhouse . And A know who Maya's killer before we or the cops know . Two person in my life that I'm in love with got killed . I wonder when I'm gonna have back my fun normal life like when I was 10 ." I sigh heavily . Hanna , Aria and Spencer just look at me poorly .
"I need to go home but before that I have to stop by Paige's house to returned her blazer last night . Wish me luck explaining to her ." I said before stand up
Paige's House
"Hey , Paige . Your mom let me in ." I said and smile at her and walked inside her bedroom . "Wanna return this to you ." I give her blazer . She just staring at me .
"I thought you were avoiding me . Em , what really happened last night ? Clearly , someone wants to hurt you ." Paige grabbed her blazer from me and take my hand . She bring me close to her , sitting on the bed .
"I can't tell you . It's too complicated ." I stare down . Paige lift my chin and our eyes meet .
"You don't trust me , Em ?" She said softly
"It's not you who I don't trust . It's the world that I don't ." I replied
"Please just tell me , Em . I know that last night have something to do with A right ? I overheard your friends talk last night ." Paige still look at me . I bit my lips , Paige already know
"If I tell you everything I'm afraid that you will never look at me after this like you look at me yesterday ." I said and my tears fall
"Em , I love you . There is nothing gonna change my feelings towards you , whatever you tell me . My feelings will stay the same ." Paige whispered in my ear
"What happened last night , it was A's plan . A is not just harrasing me and my friends life through messages . A capable of killing people . Last night was not the first time I almost got killed by A ." I tell her . Paige now look very shocked
"Why you and your friends don't tell the cops ?" Paige asked
"Whenever we tell the cops , it always backfire us . Remember Ian Thomas ? A push him from the bell tower . We didn't lie about him fall from the bell tower , it was A who move his body . It sounds crazy but do you believe me , Paige ?
"I believe you , Em ." Paige sincerely said
"We can't go to cops . Besides , A have something on us that will give trouble to me and my friends . It was something that I most regret in my life ." I said
"What is it ? Please tell me Em . I promise I won't tell anyone ." Paige asked looking worry
"A know our secret . It was something about Jenna . We are the one who make Jenna blind , not Toby . Alison think that Toby spy on us while we changing clothes in my room . She was angry , she throw a stink bomb in Toby's garage . But I don't know what happened , the garage explode and was on fire . Jenna was inside .." My tears fall and I rest my head on Paige's shoulder . I look up . "Do you hate me now ?" I asked
"There is nothing that you said could make me hate you . We all have something that we are not very proud that we do in the past ." Paige said softly and hold my hand , stroking her thumb softly on my hand . "But why Toby took the blame for you all . He goes to juvie , right ?" Paige asked weirdly
"Alison have Toby's secret . She threatening to reveal it if Toby don't take the blame " I replied
"Alison always have other people's secret ." Paige sigh . "Why won't you tell me sooner ? You know you can always trust me ." Paige said and wrapped her arms around my waist and I leaned to her .
"It's not that I don't trust you , I just don't want you to get hurt . The less you know , the safer you are ." I replied . "Alison and Maya , two person I'm in love with got killed because they know too much about A . I don't want that to happened to you too ." I continue
"Wait ! You was in love with Alison before ?" Paige sounded surprised
"Yes . I have feeling for her but she never love me ." I answered
"Well , she was stupid then ." Paige smile at me and kiss me soft on my lips
"I'm afraid what's gonna happen after this ." I said weakly
"Em , we will get through this , together ." Paige kissed my forehead . I look up at her and our eyes meet .
"I love you ." I rest my head on her shoulder as she stroking her left hand behind my back , making me feel so calm
"I love you too , whatever happen I always have , always will love you ." Paige whispered softly
