Her stomach ached in pain as a result of the food poisoning she was so badly suffering from. Her head was buried deeply in her pillow, her ears catching the faint sound of her phone.
"Hello" she groaned
"I need to know the truth" Miranda spoke rapidly never giving Emma a moment to speak "Did you have sex with Noah?"
"I thought I was the one who was sick, why are you acting crazy?"
"Just answer the question, it's insanely important"
"Maybe" Emma answered secretly
"For the love of God Emma, can you give me a straight answer!"
"Why the hell do you need to know?"
"Son of a bitch. It's freaking true!" Miranda yelled hanging up the phone
She slammed her phone onto the restaurant table her head falling slowly into hands.
"So, want to split cheese fries?" Tri asked trying to stir up a conversation
"I can't believe this" Miranda mumbled her head sit buried in her hands "I can't believe it" she repeated
"Miranda calm down" Tori smiled reaching her hand over to Miranda's "Everything is going to work out"
She raised her head tears flowing from her eyes "How? How the hell is everything going to work out, my best friend is pregnant"
Tori shuffled over to the other side of the table wrapping her right arm around the tearful girl "It's going to work out because you have me, and your family and Emma, you think this is hard for you but imagine how hard it is for her"
Miranda sniffled laying her head onto Tori's shoulder "Thank you Victoria seriously you've done so much to help me over these past few days"
"You don't need to thank me"
"Yes, I do" Miranda said picking her head up looking Tori straight in the eyes "You've helped me so much, and you really didn't need to"
"You've done a lot for me to Mira, you became my friend when no one else would"
"Mira?" Miranda smiled her ocean blue eyes locked firmly on Tori's chocolate brown eyes
"I told you I would give you a nickname" She smiled her arm still rested comfortably on Miranda's shoulder
"Thanks" Miranda's face finally free of tears "Really…" she said slowly the distance between them closing "Thanks"
"You can stop saying thanks" Tori laughed feeling the warmth of Miranda's breathe on her as their faces became only inches apart
"I don't know how to thank you" Miranda admitted
"I could think of a way" Tori smiled moving closer to Miranda her lips pressing softly against the other girls
'Holy crap!' Miranda thought to herself as she felt Tori's lips on her own, feeling her hand intertwine with the younger girl's as if they had a mind of their own
"Excuse me" the waiter coughed awkwardly "Can I take your order?"
"Sure" Miranda said breathlessly her hand still held tightly in Tori's
Emma sat in her bed her mind racing with confusion due to her previous conversation with Miranda. What had she been talking about, what was true? Why did Miranda need to know if she had slept with Noah? What was so important about it?
"Emma!" Aria yelled loudly bursting into her bedroom "Emma!"
"What?" Emma answered her hand holding her head "Can you please be quiet I have a headache"
"I need you to come downstairs, there's someone here"
Emma groaned as she slide from her bed wrapping her bathrobe around her body forcing her feet into her puppy dog slippers.
"Are you sure you want to wear that?" Aria asked nervously
"Mom, I'm in the confines of my own house I don't give a damn about what I wear"
Emma shuffled down the stair slowly pulling her hair into a tight messy bun as she entered the living room.
"Holy shit" she whispered as she came face to face with Noah and his family each sitting on the couch wearing the same look of fear
"Emma please sit" Ezra said motioning Emma towards the couch
"What exactly is going on?" She asked nervously suddenly embarrassed by her disheveled appearance
"Honey, Alison and Noel have shared so information with us" Aria explained sitting beside her husband taking her hand in his
"What kind of information?"
"Emma are you pregnant?" Ezra asked
"What!" Emma answered completely caught off guard "I have no freaking idea what you're talking about"
"Emma please don't lie to us, Noah told us about the two of you"
"Noah what the hell, we never slept together!" Emma said furiously her eyes glaring at Noah
"Noah, what's going on?" Alison asked sensing that Emma was telling the truth
"Emma's not pregnant." He stuttered feeling his words become stuck in his throat
"Who is?" Noel asked "We've all heard the rumors"
"Just some girl" Noah lied "Some one night stand, from a party"
"You got someone pregnant?" Emma asked feeling her heart break inside her chest "Was it" Emma tried to say the words scared to hear the truth "Was it when we were together?"
"Emma please let me explain"
"I don't want to hear any of your crap! You need to leave" Emma got to her feet rushing towards the front door "Get the hell out of my house and don't ever think about coming back!"
"Aria" Alison said sadly "I am so sorry, he told us someone was pregnant and we just assumed, because he had been spending a lot of time with Emma"
"Just leave you've caused enough destruction for today" Aria answered harshly
"Chill out Aria, we didn't do anything wrong" Noel shouted defending his wife "And you can't blame us for assuming Emma was pregnant I mean she's you daughter and we all know what you were doing when you were in high school!" Noel said his eyes darting towards Ezra
"You need to leave! Now" Ezra shouted following the actions set by his daughter and stomping towards the door
Emma watched as the family left her eyes wet as tears drifted down her cheeks.
"Oh my god" She cried "This is what Miranda was talking about"
"Em, what are you talking about?" Aria sked wiping a tear from her daughters face
"Miranda was asking me about me and Noah, she probably heard some rumor" She explained dropping herself back onto the couch
"Are you afraid about what people at school will think?"
"Obviously, I mean you believed the rumor I bet everyone else does to" Emma brought a pillow to her face screaming into it loudly "That douchebag ruined my life!"
