Hey guys! So I'm back as I promised but I have to warn you. This chapter is smaller that the last ones. I just felt like ending it there. Anyway I hope you'll still like it. Also thank you SO MUCH for those reviews. They made me really happy! Oh and thank you for the follows too! BUT I have some bad news. Due to some virus probably the next chapter might be a little late. However I can't tell in which chapter but in a few chapter we MIGHT see Emily interact with someone from Stanford. I guess you'll just have to wait and see. Enjoy!

Kris almost dropped the phone. She was talking to Paige's ex. The girl that still meant so much to Paige. Paige never directly admitted that she still had feelings for Emily but she didn't have to. Kris knew. She didn't realize that she hadn't said anything to the girl until Emily spoke again.

"Are you still there?" Emily asked after a while.

"Uh… yes. I'm still here. Do you want me to tell Paige that you called?" Kris said trying to recover from the shock.

"Yes, if that's ok."

"Ok. I'll let her know that you called." Kris said quietly.

"Can I ask you something?" Emily said after a while.

"Sure." Kris thought that the girl was going to ask about Paige's girlfriend so she racked her brain for a decent answer. But she didn't have to.

"Is she happy?" And with this simple question something in the way Kris saw things changed. Kris thought Emily was the type of girl that always gets what she wants. That she didn't really care about Paige and that's why she moved on when Paige moved to Stanford. But Emily did care, she could tell.

The girl contemplated her answer thinking of her relationship with the girl and how happy she seemed. But she knew that beneath that smile there was pain, hurt and fear. "She's trying." She said after a bit. "Now can I ask you something?" She added.

Since Kris heard Paige's love story she wanted to ask Emily some questions. She never actually thought that she would have the chance to ask the girl but now she did. This was one of those questions.

"Yeah."

"Do you love her?" Emily didn't know what to expect from the girl when she said she wanted to ask something but she definitely didn't see that coming. However Emily realized something. For Kris to ask this question meant that she knew who she was in Paige's life. About her and Paige. Which means that Paige talked to her roommate about them. "Yes."

Kris was pretty sure that Emily was going to say that. But that made her even more confused. "If you love her then why did you dated your co-worker once she left?"

Emily wasn't sure if she should answer that question. She didn't have to. It was none of the girl's business. And then it hit her like a train. If Kris knew about her and Talia then so did Paige. Maybe that's why Paige kissed that girl at the mall. But how could Paige have known about her and Talia? Maybe this was one of A's works. This means that her plan actually worked. But this also meant that A hasn't let go of Paige yet. Maybe he's not done with Paige. Emily didn't have the time to explain to Paige's roommate why she did what she did so she decided to give the girl a quick and not very accurate answer. "I was trying to replace Paige."

Kris remained silent taking in everything Emily told her.

"Look I gotta go. Could you please tell Paige that I called?" Emily was now in a hurry to inform the girls about her new theory.

"Sure. Goodbye." And with that Emily ended the call and was already thinking her next step.

Few minutes after the call ended Paige got out of the shower oblivious to the conversation that took place between Kris and Emily.

"Who was on the phone?" Paige said as she dried her hair. Kris didn't answer right away. She wasn't sure how the girl was going to react. She took a deep breath preparing herself for the worst.

"Emily." Paige's eyes widened the minute Emily's name came out of her girlfriend's lips.

"What?!" Paige felt a mixture of emotions overwhelm her. She felt angry at Kris for answering the call but she was the one who told her to answer. And then she got panicked. Why would Emily call? What did she said to Kris? What did Kris say to her?

"Yeah. She wanted to talk to you." Kris was trying to make it sound like it wasn't a big deal. She knew where Paige's mind wandered.

"And what did you say?" Paige said with a panicked expression taking over her face.

"That you'll call her once you get out of the shower."

"What?! Why would you say that?!"

"Because you told me to!"

Right. I forgot about that. Paige couldn't blame Kris. It wasn't her fault.

"You should call her. It seemed pretty important. Plus you can't avoid her forever." Kris said pointing the obvious.

Paige inhaled slowly preparing herself for what was about to happen. She was about to talk to Emily after a month.

"Ok. I'll call her." Kris gave her a small smile and turned her attention back to her homework.

Paige realized she had no idea where her phone was so she started looking around the room.

"Looking for this?" Kris asked her amused, holding the girl's phone.

"Thanks." Paige said and unlocked her phone. She quickly dialed Emily's number and stood there for a while with her thumb above the green button. She took a deep breath trying to calm down and her thumb landed on the screen.

"Hello?" Paige heard a voice saying from the other side of the line.

"Um… Emily?" The girl said awkwardly.

"Paige?!" Emily's brain shut down and her heart was beating extremely fast in her chest. Emily had probably sounded too excited and cheery but she didn't care. She never actually thought that Paige would call when she talked to Kris. But she did.

"Hi." The girl didn't know what else to say. "Kris told me you called." She added when she remembered the reason she called in the first place.

"Yes I did."

"Well are you going to tell me why you called?" Paige said smiling when it became obvious that Emily wasn't going to say anything else. For some reason the anger she felt when she had heard about Emily and Talia had now resolved and it was almost as if she was talking to a friend. Almost.

"Right. I…" Emily felt embarrassed she had spaced out while talking to Paige. Her voice was different. She could put a finger on it but something had changed. And then she realized that she did really know why she had called Paige. She just felt the need to hear her voice but she didn't feel comfortable to admit that to the girl. Not since the girl had moved on from her. "I actually called to ask if A has bothered you since you left." Might as well confirm my theory.

"No, he hasn't."

"He hasn't?" Emily said in confusion. If A wasn't the one that told Paige about her and Talia then who did?

"No, why?"

"Uh… no reason." Emily contemplated whether she should ask Paige about her girlfriend or not. "How've you been?" She asked instead chickening out the last minute.

"I'm good, yeah. What about you? What have you been up to?"

"I'm still alive so I guess that means good, right?" Emily said in an attempt to lighten the mood.

"I guess so."

"I heard that you've move on, is that right?" Emily asked trying to cover the pain she was feeling.

"Yes. We've only been together for almost a week but she's pretty great." Although Paige meant what she said she couldn't help but miss the raven haired girl.

"That's good to hear." Emily said trying to stop the tears from falling.

"What about you? Any army full of girls following you around Rosewood?" Paige could tell that Emily was trying really hard to cover her tears and even though she couldn't see them she knew they were there. But she couldn't bring herself to acknowledge them.

"No. I'm not seeing anyone right now." Cause the one girl I really want is three thousand miles and is currently seeing someone.

"Oh, well I'm pretty sure that there's someone out there for you too." Paige said trying to sound like she actually believed what she said.

Yes. You. "I suppose. Anyway I gotta go. It was nice talking to you." Emily was now trying really hard to keep it together. It was like Paige had really moved on and had no intention on thinking about their relationship. "Don't be a stranger." She added quietly.

"It's been a pleasure talking to you too. Bye Emily."

It's been a pleasure talking to you? What were they, fifty years old? Emily also noticed that Paige hadn't said anything about calling again. That made her collapse in her bed burying her head in the pillows. She finally let the tears fall. She had lost all hope.

2 months later

The liars were able to find out who A is and are now enjoying their summer before college starts. Spencer, after her parents pulled a few strings is going to attend UPenn while Hanna is going to New York to study fashion design. Aria was able to restore her relationship with Ezra and decided to attend Hollis in order for her to be closer to him and her family. Emily got accepted to Drexel and is trying to adjust in her new life without A and Paige. All four girls had decided to spend their holidays to Rosewood thinking trying to spend as much time as possible together. On the other hand Paige is dreading the moment she and Kris are going to visit the latter's parents. Kris was determined to come out to her parents not sure for the outcome. Her relationship with Paige only got better but never went too far.

"Paige hurry up! We're gonna loose our flight!" Kris said running around the room trying to find her keys.

"Okay, okay. I'm almost ready." She said placing a pile of clothes inside her suitcase.

"Found them!" The girl said victoriously once she found her keys. "Are you ready?"

"Yes, let's go."

"How can you be so relaxed?! We only have two hours to get to the airport!"

"Relax. We're gonna make it in time." Paige said as she reached Kris placing a kiss on her forehead. Kris smiled and followed Paige to the cab that was waiting outside for them.
