Chapter 13

Alison collapsed on the bed, her muscles aching from multiple orgasms. Alison nestled into the bed and pulled the covers around her and fell fast asleep. Emily took a deep breath and rubbed her face, feeling guiltier than ever. Emily slipped on her clothes and pulled out her phone, immediately texting Spencer.

Emily: Can we talk?

Spencer's phone chimed and she glanced over at it, but Hanna quickly took it and replied back.

"Who was it Han?" Spencer asked, her eyebrow raised at the blonde.

"Just an asshole." Hanna said with a bright smile as she sent the text to Emily.

Spencer: I'd rather not, just leave me alone for a bit.

Emily was downstairs, drinking a small cup of coffee when her phone chimed. Emily quickly unlocked it to read the message. Her heart broke slightly when she read the message, she knew that she had hurt Spencer this time. Emily put her phone down on the counter and sighed deeply, not knowing what to think of it. She knew that she had to at least tell Spencer the truth but her mind kept running scenarios of what Spencer would say or do. One thing she didn't want to happen was that Spencer would tell her to get out of her life. Emily haven't felt this close to someone and every time she was with Alison, she felt like she was cheating on Spencer. Emily just wanted things to be back to where they were, she didn't want Alison, she didn't want Hanna to know, and she wanted Spencer to be with her.

Hanna was in Spencer's kitchen, fiddling with Spencer's phone.

"What are you doing with Spence's phone?" Aria asked, peeking over Hanna's shoulder.

"Trying to figure out how to block Emily's number." Hanna said nonchalantly. Aria sat next to Hanna and looked at her curiously.

"Han?" Aria put her hand on Hanna's wrist, Hanna humming in response, still not taking her eyes off of the phone. "Why do you want to block Emily's number?"

"She needs to give Spencer some space for a while." Hanna said, scrolling through the settings endlessly.

"Do you really think that is your call to make Han?" Aria asked, Hanna finally looking up at her. Hanna sighed, repositioning her body toward Aria and taking her hands in hers.

"Emily has been…hurting Spencer for the past month and I'm tired of seeing it. If Emily really cared about Spencer she would actually tell her the truth, but she isn't and I'm going to make sure that Spencer doesn't have to go through this every time." Hanna hesitated slightly, wanting to say 'lie' instead of 'hurt', but felt that that was Emily's job, not hers. Aria cupped the side of Hanna's face and smiled at her.

"You are incredibly sweet, you know that?" Aria grazed her thumb on Hanna's cheek.

"I know, and you still won't let me get that good-good you have." Hanna motioned her head to Aria's waist, laughing in the process. Aria pushed Hanna's face away, laughing at her.

"Shut up! A perfect moment was ruined because of you." Aria giggled, Hanna smiling at her.

"It's okay, there will be more." Hanna and Aria locked eyes with each other for a minute or two when Hanna looked back down at the phone, finally finding out how to block Emily's number. Aria blushed slightly, she had always felt conflicted around Hanna, not knowing if Hanna was kidding or actually flirting with her. But Hanna was always the one to be close to people, she loved physical contact and it seemed so natural around her to have her hands on someone. Aria sighed and looked over the blonde's shoulder once more, seeing that she was really serious about blocking Emily's number.

"Do you think that Spencer will notice that Emily's number is blocked?"

"Nope, whenever Emily sends something it will not go through at all."

"How do you know that?"

"Years of practice sweetness." Hanna looked over her shoulder and kissed Aria on the cheek, giving her Spencer's phone. Aria smiled back at Hanna and left her sitting at the island by herself, returning Spencer's phone.

1 month later

Spencer hadn't received a text from Emily in weeks and it almost scared her. She hadn't had a conversation with Emily and it was eating away at her. Every time that Spencer approached the girls, Emily dragged Alison away and they made their way somewhere else. Spencer tried not to put so much thought into it though, knowing that she probably shouldn't be this close to Emily. Not when she is still with Alison at least. Hanna was still acting like herself but whenever Emily was around she talked more in metaphors than anything else, almost like she was hinting at someone about something. Spencer didn't think any of it, guessing that she was still pissed at Emily for treating Spencer the way she did. Hanna and Aria have been a bit friendlier than usual but then again they were best friends.

All the girls were sitting at their usual table, enjoying each other's company. Emily occasionally stole glances at Spencer, trying to see if Spencer wanted to talk to her again. Emily had been sending texts to Spencer every day, and she received no response from the brunette. Her texts were desperate, she wanted Spencer to talk to her again. She wanted Spencer to finally tell her that she was done with her time, she wanted Spencer to say that she wanted Emily around again, but admiring Spencer from afar was the best that Emily could do. She didn't want Alison to pick another fight with her about Spencer, seeming as that all she did for the past month when she figured out Emily had been texting Spencer. She really didn't want Hanna to blow up at her again, even though her mindless banter about truths annoyed Emily. Emily wants to tell Spencer about everything, but for some reason her mind is stopping her more than anything. Alison was gripping Emily's thigh, snapping her out of her trance of Spencer. Alison gave her the 'stop or I'll give you something to look at' look. Emily rolled her eyes and looked away, seeing a couple of kids putting up posters for a Halloween event.

"I'm just waiting for people to trash my house." Aria said, bumping her shoulder into Hanna.

"No one is going to trash your house, which reminds me…are we going to Noel Kahn's party?" Hanna smiled, excitedly clapping.

"Really you guys? Why go to his party?" Alison looked at the girls, releasing her grip on Emily.

"Do you have any other bright ideas? Besides us spending the night at someone's house? We need some room to breathe Ali, besides Emily hasn't even been to one of Noel's parties. Have to break her in some way right?" Hanna retorted and smiled at Spencer.

"What's the point in bringing her to a party if she can't even hear anything?"

"So she can meet people outside of our group. Who knows, maybe she won't stick around that long." Aria hit Hanna's knee under the table, Spencer not really paying to the girls, seeing a couple of people crowd at the cafeteria doors. Hanna looked at Aria with a sly smile on her face, Aria shaking her head at her friend.

"Well you guys dragged her into the group." Alison argued, staring intently at Hanna. Emily turned her back to the girls and sent a secret text to Spencer, wanting something, anything, from her. When Emily sent the text she looked over at Spencer, desperate to see her face. Spencer was in a trance, spacing out about her physics test, her phone didn't even vibrate. Emily's eyebrows furrowed, she thought that it was very curious that she didn't even look at her phone.

"Spencer Hastings." A voice startled Spencer from her thoughts. Her jaw dropped when she saw the woman standing in front of her. Spencer stood up and embraced the girl effortlessly, enjoying her surprise visit.

"I've missed you." Spencer pulled back and looked at the girl, cupping her face admirably. Hanna and Aria smiled at the two girls, happy that their best friend finally had peace brought to her mind.

"Missed you too Hastings." The girl smiled at the slightly taller brunette, her hands not moving from her hips. Spencer blushed at the girl, her last name felt like a pet name when she said it to her. Emily stared at the two with fierceness in her eyes. She hated the way the girl was holding Spencer. Emily wanted to hold Spencer like that and the anger in her rose. Her voice wanted to come out from within her, wanted to yell at the girl to get her hands off Spencer. The two girls were whispering at each other, something barely audible to everyone at the table. "Tonight at 8?" The girl showed a bright smile at Spencer.

"Yeah, tonight at 8." Spencer repeated, watching the girl walk away from her. Spencer sat back down at the table and saw that Hanna and Aria were smiling from ear to ear. "What?"

"You're gonna rekindle that or what?" Hanna motioned her head to the girl that had swept Spencer off of her feet.

"Oh god, we're just getting to know each other again. I mean it's been a year since we've seen each other." Spencer said, running her hand through her hair. She had a smile on her face for days, looking at all the girls but seeing anger in Emily's eyes. The anger she had seen chilled her to the bone. She couldn't believe that Emily was staring at her this angry, the absolute nerve of Emily. Emily hasn't talked to her since she went to Alison's house that morning, so why should she have a right to be angry at her? Spencer redirected her attention back to Hanna and Aria who were still fan-girling over the situation.

"Still though Spence, when she was here you guys were so close to getting together, then she studied abroad for the year. I think she still wants you." Aria said, munching on a baby carrot. Hanna nodded vigorously, still staring at the girl who was making her way around the cafeteria saying 'hi' to everyone.

"Wait I forget, who is she again?" Alison asked, completely ignoring Emily at this point.

"Gosh Ali. She's the girl that Spencer is in love with." Hanna said rolling her eyes at the oblivious blonde.

"I'm not in love with her! We were just really close to getting together, but she had an opportunity to study overseas, so we were put on the back burner." Spencer explained, looking over her shoulder and seeing the girl's smile from the other side of the room.

"Still doesn't answer my question, I was hoping for a name."

"Paige. Paige McCullers." Aria cleared up, finally noticing Emily's anger. Alison nodded her head and started to fiddle with her phone. Emily felt like a volcano had erupted in her. Emily quickly got up and pulled Hanna's arm to follow her.

"I guess we're going to talk! Be right back!" Hanna yelled, almost losing her footing. When the two girls were a safe distance from the cafeteria and everyone else, Emily pulled Hanna into an empty classroom. "Ouch! Gosh what is your deal Em? You almost tore my arm out of my socket!"

"Did you tell her?" Emily asked, her eyes fierce.

"Gosh, I think I need to go to the nurse now." Hanna rubbed her shoulder, avoiding the question completely.

"Hanna! Did you tell her?!" Emily yelled, making Hanna stop her movements and look at Emily with a small smirk on her face.

"I'd suggest that you watch your tone with me Emily." Hanna said, sitting in a nearby desk. Emily stared at the blonde girl, feeling as if her body was going to explode. "I could tell her though, but I'm not going to. I'm not one for ruining people. You can tell her yourself Emily." Hanna took out a mirror and began to fix her makeup.

"Did you tell anyone else?"

"No Emily. That's your job, not mine." Hanna put away all of her stuff and looked up at Emily. Emily was staring at the floor, not knowing what to say next.

"Does she really like that Paige girl?" Hanna sighed at the statement and made her way next to Emily.

"She does, I'm not going to lie about that. As of right now, she has a better chance than you. But what can you expect, you had a chance but you shot yourself in the hand for that."

"Foot."

"What?"

"It's 'You shot yourself in the foot for that', not hand." Hanna's eyebrows furrowed and she shook her head quickly.

"Whatever, my point is that your chances are slim but they are there."

"I doubt it. She doesn't even talk to me anymore."

"I might have did something with that. I blocked your number on her phone." Hanna bit her lip, worried what Emily was going to think.

"What?!"

"I had to, you should have seen the look on her face that morning. Besides you guys needed a break from each other to figure things out. Of course the timing couldn't be worse but I'll fix it. Trust me, I'm very good with words." Hanna smiled and winked at Emily, and just like that Emily's anger was gone. Emily had a small smiled appear which made Hanna happy herself. "As much as I despise that you hurt Spencer, I'll help boost you up. I think you will be good for her but sort your shit out with Ali, got it?"

"Yeah." Hanna started to walk out the room when Emily's voice stopped her. "Thanks Hanna. You really care about your friends." Hanna looked back at Emily and shrugged her shoulders.

"Someone has to." Hanna then left Emily alone with her thoughts. Emily sighed, knowing that Hanna was still mad but at least she was willing to help her. Another thing that she needed to do was get rid of Alison, but who knows how long that will be.

"Do you guys know if Emily is okay? She has been avoiding me for like a month." Spencer looked at her friends, tapping her pencil incessantly. Aria looked at Spencer then at Hanna, waiting for Hanna to say something to Spencer. Hanna said nothing and looked down at her notebook.

"Hanna blocked Emily's number on your phone." Aria said, still keeping her eye on Hanna, who groaned and finally looked at her.

"Gosh Aria, don't beat around the bush about it." Hanna said sarcastically, twiddling her thumbs.

"You blocked her number on my phone?" Spencer asked calmly.

"If it makes you feel better, I did it out of love." Hanna smiled quickly and took Spencer's hands in hers. Spencer rolled her eyes and took her hands back from the blonde.

"Ugh, don't play wifey with me. That's Aria's thing."

"Hey." Aria objected, feeling slightly hurt.

"Sorry. Just can you please unblock her number?" Spencer put on her best puppy eyes, making Hanna feel guilty for doing it in the first place. Hanna held out her hand and Spencer gladly put it in her hands, looking over at Aria who was sending a pout in her direction. "What?"

"She doesn't play wifey with me."

"Yes she does. You guys are practically over each other every time you see each other."

"Hanna likes physical contact!" Spencer rolled her eyes and smiled at the tiny brunette who was trying to defend their friendship. Aria then looked over at Hanna who was smiling at the conversation they were having.

"It's okay dear, she's just jealous." Hanna laughed and grabbed Aria's hand, rubbing her knuckles.

"You're not helping!" Aria harshly whispered, and tugged her hand back. Hanna smiled and slid Spencer her phone back. As soon as Spencer looked down, she received a message from Emily.

Emily: Are you getting my messages yet?

"That her?" Hanna asked, writing down something in her notebook. Spencer nodded and set her phone down, making her wait a little bit.

"I'm sure you're going to be ecstatic Spencer!" A tall girl with a bright smile ran up to the girls.

"Excuse me?" Spencer asked.

"Hey Sandra, what's going on that is making you happy for other people?" Hanna teased, making Sandra shove her shoulder.

"I heard that Paige is permanently staying here. Aren't you happy Spencer?" Sandra looked at her with much excitement. Spencer was beyond confused more than anything, still debating if she should believe this girl about Paige staying in Rosewood. "I'll take that as a 'yes'! Okay I'll leave you guys to it! Bye!" Sandra then departed, leaving Spencer dumbfounded.

"Wow Spence! Aren't you happy that Paige is staying?" Hanna patted Spencer's shoulder.

"I don't know if I should believe that girl."

"Oh you should Spencer, that's Sandra. The girl that knows everything."

"That does not prove anything to me. Well, I'm going to talk to Paige about that tonight." Spencer picked up her phone and decided to text Emily back.

"What else are you going to talk to her about?" Hanna wiggled her eyebrows, earning a slap from Aria. Hanna held her face and looked at the shorter girl.

"Does everything have to be about sex with you?" Aria asked, making Hanna grab her chair and pulling it towards her quickly.

"You know it baby." Hanna then smothered her face in Aria's neck making her laugh uncontrollably. Spencer shook her head at her friends and sent her message.

Spencer: Yes I am.

Emily: Okay great. Um I was hoping that we could talk. Tonight maybe?

Spencer: I'd like to but I have plans already.

Emily: Oh…then maybe some other time then.

Spencer sighed at the message, she knew that Emily was sad but Spencer needed to know why Emily didn't talk to her before. Spencer knew that the time wasn't right, whether Spencer liked it or not, Emily was still with Alison and Alison was with Emily. As much as she didn't want to accept it, she had to.

Spencer heard a knock on her door and she ran down the stairs knowing that Paige was due any minute. Spencer opened her door and there she was in all of her glory, Alison. Alison walked past Spencer, sitting down on the couch, waiting for Spencer to join her.

"Ali I don't have time—"

"Why are you talking to Emily?"

"She talked to me, first of all. I had nothing to do with it."

"Spencer just stick to one person, is it that hard?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Leave Emily alone. She's mine."

"Ali you won, just let it go. Let me and Emily be friends." Spencer tried to reason with her but she felt that it was pointless with Alison. Alison rolled her eyes and started for the door.

"Emily has feelings for you, I know it and it kills me to know that you can take her away from me." Alison quickly dismissed her tears, not wanting to show any signs of weakness in front of Spencer.

"What do you mean she has feelings for me?"

"Don't be so dumb Spencer! She was practically cheating on me with you when we first started! I know that you two were kissing and almost had sex. I know." Alison then turned to the door, her hand on the knob, but she quickly looked over her shoulder making sure that Spencer heard her final words. "She moans your fucking name when she has sex with me." Alison swung the door open and left the house, Spencer feeling completely oblivious to everything. She felt like Alison was bringing this to her attention but Alison said 'moans your name', that threw Spencer off completely.

"Hey, your door is wide open. You okay?" Paige walked in, smiling at the brunette.

"Is it possible for a deaf person to speak?"
