Hey everyone! Sorry I was going to do another update last night but I fell asleep on the couch, so yeah, it was just one of those nights where you have so much stuff to do but you decide to take a nap instead. Hahaa anyway here's what you all came for, the next chapter. Enjoy!:)

No Air

~In Emily's Hospital Room~

"I don't get it, I mean if there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they just get smart in time to ask questions or what?" Hanna said as she was eating a snack from the hospital vendor and talking to Aria. Spencer was asleep on one of the hospital chairs in Emily's hospital room. They were waiting for Cece, but she hadn't shown up yet.

"I don't know Han, I don't know." Aria answered. God, when is Cece going to get here? Hanna and Aria heard footsteps coming from the door, and the door opened. It revealed the whole swim team who had come up to check on Emily and drop off a few gifts. There were about four girls total.

"Please, don't hurt us, we come in peace." Megan said and the others nodded their heads in agreement.

"Yeah, we actually came by to check up on her, how is she doing?" one of the girls asked.

"She's been better, but the doctor says she's going to be okay." Aria said.

"Hey, where's Brooke?" Megan asked one of the girls.

"She's still behind, bringing the gifts, hey Brooke, hurry you're a** up!"

"Well I'm sorry! But no one bothered trying to help me carry these gifts from the car! So I don't think you can blame me for being slow!" Brooke answered. "Next time, I'm making Megan carry them!" You could barely see the tip of Brookes head as she was carrying a couple of teddy bears, a huge Rosewood shark that even had goggles on it, a few gift baskets and a couple of cards.

"Oh hey, that's awesome. That shark is pretty awesome. You guys can just put em down." Hanna said, and just as she said that Brooke released everything. All the gifts were now scattered on the floor.

"I don't think that's what she meant Brooke." Megan replied as the team picked up everything and carried the gifts towards the open table.

"Anyway we got to go, but tell Emily we swung by to check up on her." Brooke said, and the team gave a few waves of goodbyes and left the room.

"AWWWW! That was sweet of them!" Hanna said loudly.

"Sshhh! Han! You're gonna wake up Spencer!" Aria chuckled, knowing how silly and crazy Hanna can be when she was all excited.

"Mmmmm." Spencer groaned as she awoke in her hospital chair, feeling a little dizzy.

"Oh sorry, were you asleep?" Hanna asked.

"Oh no Han, sometimes I just like to lay limp and breathe heavily with my eyes closed." Spencer replied sarcastically as she was stretching.

"Okay, Ms. Sarcastic, and hey how come Cece hasn't got here yet?" Hanna asked.

"That's exactly what I was wondering. It's only 8:39, so I guess it takes some time." Aria answered.

"I don't think it takes that long to-" Spencer was interrupted by the sound of movement coming from Emily's hospital bed. All the three girls stood up and saw Emily finally open her eyes.

"EMILY! YOU"RE AWAKE!" Hanna said, rushing over to hug Emily.

"Ouch, okay I love you too Han, but my arm." Emily mumbled as the shock of pain rushed over her left arm. She rubbed her eyes with her right arm, taking in all the hospital rooms' surroundings. "Hanna I can't breathe! Give me air!" Emily gasped. Hanna was definitely a hugger.

"Oh, my bad." Hanna said, letting go of Emily.

"Finally, you're awake. Everyone was starting to worry, even the swim team came to check up on you, you just missed them." Aria said. Emily looked around her room, she saw everyone she loved, but there was just one person missing.

"Where's Cece?" Emily asked as she looked around her hospital room and took in that there was no sight of Cece anywhere.

"That's what we're all wondering, I sent her a text about fifteen minutes ago, but she hasn't replied and we haven't seen her yet." Spencer answered.

"I know, it doesn't take that long to get here?" Aria said.

"Oh my God! You guys need to go find her!" Emily said. "I think Paige is behind all of this, and who knows what she can do next. That's the scary thing about her, she's unpredictable. This is what I get for trying to be all romantic and spontaneous. She could be anywhere you guys!"

"Emily, we don't think that-"

"Fine then, I'll go by myself!" Emily interrupted and got up. "Owww, my arm." Another rush of pain washed over Emily's left arm. "And why the heck can I move my legs but they here so much!"

"Yeah, it's broken; you also have some really bad bruises on your legs." Spencer said. "We'll go, just promise us you'll stay here and rest."

"I'll stay, but be careful. I think she might be getting her car, it was supposed to be fixed up today. Go check at Saul's Car Garage, I'm sure she's probably over there, than go check her apartment, and if she's not there, come back." Emily suggested, but it sounds more like a demand.

"Okay, we will." Aria said.

"Just rest and relax Em." Hanna spoke.

"There's not guarantee I'll do either unless I know Cece's okay." Emily responded. The girls shared their hugs goodbye and left Emily's hospital room. Spencer suggested that they all go to Cece's apartment first as they exited the hospital and were now making their way to Spencer's car in the parking lot.

"But Emily specifically told us-"

"We should go to her apartment first, it's quicker, plus the car garage is on Rosewood Main, so we'll just get it done quicker. Plus for all we know Cece could already be on her way here." Spencer said, interrupting Aria.

"Let's do it." Hanna answered as they all got in Spencer's car and drove out of the Rosewood hospital.

~Meanwhile At Saul's Garage Shop~

Cece, I want you to be my girlfriend. I want you to be mine, because, because I love you. Yeah I know I may not have known you for that long, but love doesn't have a label. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud or rude. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Cece thought about her favorite part of Emily's note and was trying to figure out a way she was going to get out of this mess, she was running out of air and she was running out of air quick. She had already tried throwing a few of Saul's big wrenches at the glass, but she knew it wouldn't work because the glass was unbreakable. She even thought about getting into one of the cars and wrecking the huge wall, but Paige wasn't stupid. All the cars had been locked from the inside. Cece wasn't sure what she was going to do. So, this is how my life is going to end, me running out of air in Saul's Garage, this is going to kill Emily. I can't believe it; I'm just going to die here. NO! I refuse to let that bitch win, there's gotta be a way out, there's just gotta! This bitch was smart; I know exactly how she thinks. She probably thought if she killed me this way it would look like a suicide, that I just couldn't stand the fact that I was the cause of my secrets high school lover's accident, and that I would rather die than to see her in any pain. Well you know what; I'm not going to let her get rid of me without a fight. Cece thought all of this as she was searching for a way out. She walked all over the room and looked up above her, there was a huge big black cloud of carbon monoxide taking away all of her oxygen. At this rate, in five minutes I'll be dead. I need to come up with a plan, and quick. She thought. All of a sudden, a quick flashback came out of nowhere, a flashback from a while back when she barely came into Rosewood.

~Flashback, A Few Months Ago~

"Ugh yeah, I think it needs an oil change Ce." Saul said as he got up from under the car and went to go wash his hands that were full of oil.

"So that's why it's been going crazy on me!" Cece said. "Well no wonder, okay how much do I owe you?"

"No charge, oil changes are free, and even if I did charge, I wouldn't charge you." Saul said smiling. He was in his early forties, had a wife and a couple of kids, and he was a respected figure in the Rosewood Community. He had driven all the other car mechanics out of business because of how kind he was and all his low prices.

"Awww, thanks." Cece said, giving Saul a hug. He was about to go back down again when one of his sons came running in the shop. He looked about eight years old.

"Daddy, daddy! Junior is climbing up the walls again!" the boy said.

"Aye Junior! Thanks for telling me Mijo Marco." Saul said as he got up.

"Awww, so these are your boys Saul?" Cece said patting Marco's head.

"Hi!" The little boy exclaimed.

"Yup, they're my pride and joy." Saul said and glanced up at a long, thin window on the other side of the garage wall.

"JUNIOR! Get down from there! That's the SECOND time I catch you doing that. Remember when you did that the last time you broke your leg, and that's because I left the window open. I swear I'm going to have to cover that darn thing! How do you even get up there anyway?" Saul yelled.

"Sorry daddy. It's just so fun! And it's really easy; you just go up the secret hidden ladder bars! But I'll get down." Junior yelled back and got down.

"Good boy, put please don't do that again Mijo, you almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Okay daddy!" Junior said as he climbed down and Saul made his way toward the boy.

"That's weird, the carpenter never told me about these ladder bars." Saul was looking up at a ladder that was hidden on the side of the wall. If Junior hadn't pointed it out, those ladder bars could've been there for decades and Saul still wouldn't have noticed. "I guess that's just in case of a fire or something, just don't go up there again Mijo, understand?"

"Yes daddy, I'm sorry." Junior replied. He was really cute and he looked about ten years old. Cece just laughed. She couldn't wait to see the day where she could have little cute kids of her own.

~End Flashback~

Cece just remembered this as she was running out of air. She only had about three or four minutes left before she would die, max. She found herself quickly making her way towards one of the other side walls, there was a big tarp covering its side, Cece was more than one hundred percent sure that the ladder bars would be what the tarp was covering. She glanced up. Still, even if his business was one of his major priorities, Saul had never covered that long window from above. It was about ten feet long and two feet high, Cece could get out of there easily. But she knew Saul wasn't dumb, he probably put a lock on it, and there wasn't any assurance that the glass wasn't unbreakable. Cece looked around for any tools she could use to break free. She found two of Saul's biggest wrenches lying out in a table that was covered with colored paint. Perfect. Cece thought. She took about six steps towards the table, got the two big wrenches, and made her way towards the side of the wall. Cece was smiling inside, she knew there was a huge possibility that the glass was breakable because when Junior was on top of there it slid easily, unbreakable glass is usually a lot heavier for a ten year old boy to move. Cece held the wrenches on her left hand and removed the tarp with her left hand. She could've died from shock with what she had to take in next. The ladder bars that were there a few months ago, were gone.

Yikes! Sorry I didn't post earlier, had to help my best friends little sister get ready for her first middle school dance, and it also didn't make it any easier that Homecoming is almost here. Anyway, sorry about the cliff hanger can't wait to write the next chapter. Goodnight folks. ;) Hahaa oh and before I forget, at Buttercup XD XD, Hahaa! We should throw a couple of trashcans and try to drown her! What do you say? And at NikkiFredd, I couldn't agree more!
