Thank you for all the reviews! I came home a little early, so I'm updating a little sooner than expected!

JoriRocks: I'll think of something and put out a Fabrastings story next!

IRuleUK: Well, A isn't supposed to be friendly...lol

nirricles-happen: It wasn't too long, so I'm sure you did just fine XD

I knew there was trouble as I pulled into Emily's driveway to find that Emily's mom had returned from wherever she had been. I wondered if Hanna and Emily were smart enough to leave before she had gotten there, but I suppose there was no way of finding out without running into Emily's mom.

I could hear Emily's mom screaming as I opened the car door. Well, I think it's safe to assume that Emily, at the very least, is still inside. I highly doubted that Hanna had left, and if she had, it was probably because Mrs. Fields had kicked her out.

I wasn't sure, if it was wise for us to interrupt, but we were going to anyway. We had to see Hanna and Emily, even if it meant we got the wrath of Mrs. Fields.

I rang the doorbell, feeling apprehensive. I felt Spencer squeeze my hand. I smiled slightly, she would always be here for me.

"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Fields screamed at us when she opened the door.

"We're here to check up on Emily," Spencer said, sounding concerned. I could see her hands getting tense though, she was trying to keep her temper under control as she talked to Mrs. Fields.

"Do any of you stay in school?" Mrs. Fields screamed.

Spencer looked offended, "No offense Mrs. Fields," Spencer said, "but I think you know me well enough to know that I hate missing a class, so if I'm here instead of class, it must be important."

Mrs. Fields calmed down a little; Spencer's words must have gotten through to her. It was true though, Spencer couldn't stand missing class. I'm pretty sure it was a combination of her love for me, concern for Hanna and Emily, and the mysterious A looming over us that got her out of class this morning.

"You're right," Mrs. Fields said. Everybody knew that Spencer was a tight-ass about class and homework, plus I was pretty sure that since Spencer was the only one who hadn't been outed yet, she was, in the eyes of Mrs. Fields at least, the opposite of a bad influence, not that being gay is a bad thing.

I noticed that Mrs. Fields' eyes were puffy and bloodshot; she'd probably been crying. I think we had all known that she wouldn't take this well.

Emily appeared in the doorway next to Mrs. Fields, keeping a cold distance from her.

"Spencer, Aria, what are you doing here?" she asked.

I smiled sweetly at her, "We're here to make sure you're okay."

Emily smiled weakly at us, it was obvious that her mother's reaction had shaken her. She shook her head, indicating that she wasn't okay. Spencer and I simultaneously hugged her, trying to comfort her, but not really knowing how.

"Can we go somewhere?" Emily asked us.

"Of course," I said, "Anywhere you want."

"Hold on, I'll be right back," Emily said, as she walked back into the house.

"Emily Fields, if you leave this house with her don't come back," Mrs. Fields said.

Spencer and I stood there with our mouths agape. Though we knew she wasn't going to take it well, we never thought she'd kick Emily out.

Emily came back with Hanna holding her tightly, tears streaming down Emily's face. Emily didn't even look at her mother as Hanna and Emily walked out of the house.

Spencer threw an apologetic look to Mrs. Fields, probably out of respect for being Emily's mother, but then we hurried to the car, not wanting to stand there awkwardly.

Emily curled up into Hanna in the backseat, sobbing. I wondered what Colonel Fields would have to say about this. Would he be mad at Mrs. Fields for kicking Emily out? Or would he agree with her decision? Spencer reached her arm into the backseat taking one of Emily's hand, and just holding it. I would have done something similar if I hadn't been driving.

I drove out of Rosewood, at this point I didn't even have a destination other than away.

As the day wore on, I was still driving, Hanna and Emily had fallen asleep in the backseat, and Spencer had been silent, but had her hand on my leg, rubbing small circles into it with her thumb.

We were somewhere in New York State now, though nowhere near the city, and I knew we would all be in trouble when we got back to Rosewood, but all we cared about right now was being with each other, both as friends and as couples.

"Hanna?" I heard Emily ask sleepily. Hanna, being a heavy sleeper, didn't stir.

"I think she's still passed out, Em," I said.

"Where are we?" Emily asked, sitting up and looking out the window.

"Somewhere in New York," Spencer answered.

"Why?" Emily asked.

"I just kept driving," I answered, "I can pull over somewhere though, you're probably starving, I know I am."

"How long have we been driving?" Emily asked.

"About four hours," Spencer answered.

"Oh…"

We passed a sign that said, "Welcome to Cortland"

"Oh, I think there's a college in Cortland, we could probably find someplace to eat there, maybe take a college tour so we won't get completely killed when we get back," Spencer said a little too enthusiastically.

Emily and I laughed, "You would be thinking about college now."

"Well I have to do something productive since I skipped school!" Spencer said defensively.

"Fine, let's do it," Emily said, "We might as well since we're here anyway."

What do you think? Please review!
